not. a former wife, The latter yester-

a charge of provocation and succeeded
in having the unfortunate ex-husband
sent to Crown Point for twelve days.
The case was tried before Judge w. A.
Reiland, who imposed fine of 81 and
costs, which Bombois was unable to
pay.
The case was replete with sensational
developments and the court was sur
prised to find a man, spurned in love
as was the defendant, still true to his
first love. Bombois and the fair Cath
crime were married about forty years
ago and are now about SIS years of
age. After thirty-five years Of appar-
entity happy life, Catherine demanded
divorce. on the grounds of cruelty.
The decree was granted and the petit
toner was shortly afterward married
to Paul Barnot.
Bombois found himself attracted
time and time again to the home of
new Mrs. Barnot, especially after an
excessive indulgence in the rich red
wines of his country. On Monday even
ing, when in a sadly ''piffed" condi-
ton, Bombois drew near to the ADM -
able Catherine and attempted to caress
her. She repealed his advances and
soon had the amorous John behind the
iron bars of the new city jail. Cath
crime declares that her married life
with Bombois gave her sufficient
knowledge of his vicious temperament
and if he persists in bothering her she
will demand his detention under surety
of the peace bonds.

Indiana HarbOr, Ind, Jan. Cow
cred with snow, and with the limbs hor-
ribIy mangIed, the body of an unknown
man was found beside the Lake shore
tracks east of this city early this morn
Ing. The victim is an American and
wore suit of good texture and kid
gloves.
The body was discovered about $40
o'clock by a laborer going to work at
the Inland mills. The police were
called and the body removed immediate
~ to the Teal undertaking establish
ment, where Coroner Gordon will make
an effort to discover the mans identity.
There is small sum of money in the
unfortunate mans pockets but no let
tiers have been found which could lead
to a solution of the difficult problem.
May Yet He Identified.
One leg was separated entirely from
the body while the other is maneIed
and portions of the bloody garments
strewn for several feet along the rail-
road right of way. The features of
the man were also distorted from their
conclusion with the rails and while
several parties have expressed a be-
lief in having seen the man about the
Harbor, it is impossible to positively
identify him. Undertaken Teal places
the victims age at about 26 years
The manner in which the young
man met his death is a matter of much
speculation in local police circles. The
general belief is that the unknown vic
tim stepped from the midnight Chi
cago train last evening and failed to see
west-bound freight train approach
ing. When found this morning. the
body was laying across the west bound
tracks. The mystery is one of the most
intricate that the police have had to
deal with for some time and every eff
fort will be made to save the young
man from burial in the potter's field
LATER-The body of the young man
was identified at 10 o'clock this morn
ing as that of j. A. Book. jr.. a teEe-
graph operator for the O., 1. & s. rail-
road at Gibson. The Identification was

Washington, Dec. 15.-Yesterday 8
DISPATCHES. containing an account of
the anti-Zelayan demonstration In

gram received at the state depart
ment from Vice Consul Caldera.
From this dispatch, dated yesterday,
il appears that some Of the demon.

was not indicated The dispatch says
Zelaya has published statement
promising to resign the presidency OF
Nicaragua in favor Of DR.. 0ladriZ, who,
as Zelaya's candidate, is not the
choice of the people there.
Mr.. Caldera, in speaking of the
demonstration the night before. says
large crowds surrounded the Ameri-
can legation, cheering the govern
nept and people of the United States
In the absence OF any specific IN
formation, the state department Of
1cials discredit the news published
some days ago of any important en-
easements between the government
ind revolutionary forces at Rama In
Ehich the revolutionary army Is said
o nave Oeen defeated. lue ldCt Nhdl
she government received no informa-
,iCn is regarded as almost proof posi-"
tive that no engagement has taken
place at Rama.
Should Zelaya carry out his purpose
Of reslgning and installing Madriz as
president, there is reason to believe
that the Estrada faction would con.
Time their activities with even great
ar yIGor than they have against Ze-
ava.
The people, 1t is said, cannot look
for better conditions under Madrlz 5
administration than under Zeiaya's
as he Is known 10 be a strong partiS-
an of the former. although he has
himself been number Of times in
prison by Zelaya's direct orders. 1t
is also known that Madriz's selection
would not be satisfactory 10 the Unit
ed States. and. therefore. his install
laiion would rather tend TO compli'
cate than to simplify the situation.
