MARSH GHOST
TRA|LEO TO
HIS LAIR

Down in Miller the good people who
go TO rest with the chickens have
been making loud complaints lately
about their nocturnal slumbers being
disturbed Heretofore they always
slept sound with the exception of when
these three things happened: l. When
ever the Aetna Powder mills blow up;
O. On such occasions when a wolf from
the Kankakee marshes makes its way
northward and bowls all night; 8.
When the reflections OF the Gary steel
plant light up their bedrooms.
Uncanny Lights Near Cemetery.
OF late ghostly lights have been seen
in the marsh in the rear OF the old
cemetery. Those of - the Millerites
whose business keeps them away from
home until the clock hands near twelve
and the gobblins are abroad have been
seeing some mysterious lights in the
nearby marshes Coincident with the
recent appearances Of the ghostly IL
luminants 1T has been noted that the
croaking of the frogs has almost ceas-
ed. Such unusual silence is a thing
that even the Oldest inhabitant of the
town can't remember the like.
SWANS who have been out buggy
riding late at nights and who have oc-
casion to travel over the gravel pike to
Hobart returned home early. They
noticed the lights and when they dane
ed up and down along the marshes
timid maidens clutched their lover s
arm and turned their heads as their
teeth chartered and cold shivers passed
through them, 1. e. their bodies.
Strange Doings In Marshes.
Every one concluded that ghosts
must be lowering over the marshes for
left the neighborhood have the bull
frogs been known TO be so silent This
was the general theory until few
nights ago and mothers whose children
did not behave were warned that the
marsh bogy man would catch them
However, the marsh ghost has beer
made a hctional character by Fred
Schauff an engineer from Gary who is
employed on the Elgin, Joliet and East
ern railway. The other night Mr.
Schauc went down to Miller and found
the whole town all excited as the
ghost" was said TO be abroad,
Unusual Phenomenon Explained.
Schauf ridiculed the ghost theory
and about ten o'clock he made a quite
little investigation for himself and at

a mosquito net about his head he wen

If she comes home all may be well
and her husband is ont going to swear
out warrant for her as he first intend
ed. Evidence has now reached him
which shows that his wife's mind may
have been affected and that she has
wandered away. Two or three Gary
people have seen her in Chicago and
there is a possibility that she may be
orking in a Chicago department store
under an assumed name.

woman to go with him but the Chicago
police have been unable to find any
trace OF him. He has one hand missing.

THE TIMES feels assured that there are
many other boys in the city who would
be glad to go II there are any such

lGtion of the paper is increasing every

MOB OF 400 STRIKING MI
They Raid Coal Mines at Pittsburg and
Force Men to Quit Work.

Pittsburg, Kan, May "a mob of
400 striking miners. mostly foreigners,
raided the strip mines of the Clemns
Coal company south of here this even
ing and forced the miners working there
to stop work and to abandon the work
ings.
The raiders then broke the pumps of
the mine. and dismantled the gas en-
gines. threatening the miners with
death if they should return to work
the raiders next marched on the mines
Of the Cherokee Pittsburg Coal COM
pany nearby. Here they found only
the enginemen and pump men working,
the miners being on strike. The en-
ginemen and pump men were driven
from the workings and threatened with
violence If they dared to return.
Eight mines in all were visited by
the mob, three of the Clemns Coal COM
pany and five of the Cherokee-P ittsburg
company. The miners of the former
company do not work under the rules
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea.
American strikers are said to have
led the foreigners in their attack. The
executive board OF the mine workers
in this district deprecated the raids,
and declared they would do all in their
power to bring the Offenders to JUS
tiCe.

PEET BROTHERS WILL REBUILD.
Their New Plant Will Be Larger and
Better Than Ever.

Armourdale, Kan, May 6.-Peet
Brothers Manufacturing company,
whose immense soap plant in Armour
dale was burned Wednesday night, to-
day is planning to rebuild the property
on & larger scale.
In the meantime an effort is being
made to establish a temporary place of
business and it is not likely that the
300 men and women employed at the
Peet plant will remain long idle.
Yesterday the company received an
order from the government for 100000
pounds of soap and this order will be
filed.
The fire, which was one of the most
spectacular witnessed in either Kansas
City for years, caused a loss of $750,000.
The loss is almost wholly covered by
insurance.
Though the buildings were practical
ly Quilted considerable machinery was
saved and the storage tanks at the
rear, containing between 100000 and
5000, 900 pounds of cocoanut and cotton
seed oil and tallow are intact. This
alone represents a saving of several
hundred thousand dollars.

MAY HAVE TO GO.
ROurke Still Not Satisfied With
Billy Fox.
Intimates That He Will Get
Another Infielder.
NO HARMONY IN TEAM.
Dislike of the Fast Second Sack.
er Is General.
Items Of Interest Over Western
League Circuit.

While he did not say SO. Rourke
left the impression here that sooner or
later he will get rid of Second Base
man Billy Fox. Rourke did not at
tempt to disguise the fact that he was
dissatisfied with the popular second
baseman and that he would make a
change on the infield he intimated to
the sporting editor of the State Jour
nal during their conversation.
Il will probably get another pitcher
after a while.'' said Rourke. land
make another change on the team"
'Will the change be on the infield,"
he was asked.
IT don't want to say as to that re-
piled Rourke with a smile: neither
would say that 1t will or will not be
in the outfeld."
To another. Rourke expressed him
self as dissatisfied with the actions of
FOX IN saturdays game. He thought
Fox should have nailed Landreth's hit
to right. which came after two were
down and which was in reality a pop
fly Just out Of reach oe everyone.
Rourke was sore because Fox didn't
nail the ball. Fox probably was near
est where it fell. but that is neither
here nor there.
Fox went to Omaha from Lincoln,
where he had managed the Links I'M
der the Green reign. The Lincoln
team had evidently been badly mis-
managed. but il was believed this was
due to Green. the owner. more than
Fox. Fox kept the Omahas in third
place throughout the remainder of the
season except for the few days before
kahPs injury, when Topeka displaced
them. After kahl's injury the Nebras-
kans again swept into third place and
were not afterward dislodsed.
But last year some Of the players
conceived a dislike for Fox and it re-
suited this year in getting him out as
manager. Whether or not it will drive
him off the team it is too early to
tell. But Rourke is sore on Fox and
it is believed here by those who talked
to PA" that he will let the second
sacker go in case a trade with little
profit in it for PA" can be arrange.
