EXPRESS AGENT
HELD Up IN
STREET GAR

Last evening there was probably a no
more surprised man in Gary than Chas
Hughes, agent for the Adams Express
company, as when he was walking
down Broadway he was seized from
behind by four husky pair of hands
and bundled bodily into an express
wagon, which had been decorated for
the occasion.
Hughes was speechless with amaze
ment, and was about to call the aid of
passing policeman when he happened
to remember that he had been married
upon him.
1t was a little surprise on Hughes,
concocted by the agents and employ s
of the various express companies in
Gary. and they were determined that
they would have their fun much to the
discontinue of the benedict.
Hughes was tied in the wagon which
proceeded UP and down Broadway to
the tune of COW bells and tin horns
while the people on Broadway gazed in
and at the signs on the wagon. I'm
just married" on my honeymoon" etc
Hughes was later taken to his home
at the corner of Sixth avenue and
Maryland street, where a party await
ed him and very enjoyable even
ing was spent and congratulations were
given the newly married couple.

a strong evidence of the good work that

the school have the advantage of enter

STEVE TAPS
ACCOUNT IN
GARY BANK
Indiana Harbor Man, Prom
Using Mary Two Cans Of
Beer for a Nickel, Gets
Her to Sign Over Her
Savings.
Especial to THE T1MEs.l


Indiana Harbor, Ind. April 29.-
Steve Jarcak and Mary Majnarich. were
until very short while ago, happy
young couple, who occupied a cottage
together at the corner of Seventeenth
avenue and Massachusetts, street in
Gary. They dispensed with the formal
ity OF marriage ceremony, which
looked to them just like that much
extra expense and of no special benefit
Steve worked as a laborer at the
steel mill, and between them they
managed to lay aside $40 which was
placed in a bank at Gary subject to
Mary's order.
"He Tapped the TIL"
Things were looking up until one
day a week or so ago Steve decided
that he no longer loved Mary He
wanted to leave her. but he hated to
part with the bank account and saw
no way of getting rid of her without
separating himself as we'll from the
bankroll. Finally a great light dawned.
He would take little paper to her and
ask her to sign it and explain to her
that by doing she could bet her beer
at the rate Of two cans for five cents,
instead of five cents a can. Mary at
first demurred. However. the prospects
scented by the reduced beer rate, SO
strongly appealed to her that she COM
mitted the fatal error of affixing her
signature to the bottom of a blank
check. Steve then filled in for $50, drew
the amount and fitted away to Indiana
Harbor
His absence at first surprised Mary.
but 1t did not pain her Until she dis
covered that there was no reduction in
the price OF beer. Then she realized
that she had been faithlessly dealt with
and started out to learn what had be-
come OF her erstwhile lover and com
mon law husband. She located him In
Indiana Harbor and took out war
rant for his arrest on the charge of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
The paper was placed in the hands
of Constable Charles Miller for service,
nrd while Miller was on still hunt
for his man. he met officer l. w. Sar-
&c. He confided his mission to officer
Sarec. who happened to know that
Steve had brother living at 1906 Hem
lock street Sarec accompanied Miller
TO the brothers residence, and Sareo
remained outside in case Miller should
need assistance.
Miller found his man all right. but
When he told him he was under arrest.
Steve broke and ran. and Miller fired
a shot in the air TO apprise officer Sar-
&c that he needed assistance. whereupon
the policeman mounted his trusty bicy-
Gle and pursued Steve. through highway
and byway until he caught up with
him This accom- piished the officer pro-
ceedd to fall or his wheel. carrying
steve to the ground, lay on top of his
man until he had subdued him, after

prisoner paid out of the money he had
procured under false pretenses, and
Mary is still without the eighty and
without Steve, for he refused to come
back.

LONG LOST DIAMONDS
FOUND FROM TIMES AO
Especial to THE T1MEs)

Indiana Harbor. April 2s.-Once more
the efficacy of TINES ad has been
demonstrated in the returning OF two
rings to their owner, lost away last
November and advertised at that time
in the columns of THE TIMES News
pers.
The fortunate advertiser is Miss
Nella Dietrich, a school teacher in the
Washington building, and the finder,
whom she rewarded, as THE TIMES ad
stated she would, was Robert Mauger
II years old and pupil in Miss May
Barnes room
The finding of the rings was pure
accident as such things usually are
They had been tied into the corner
of a handkerchief and dropped by Miss
Dietrich while on her way home from
school one blustery November day. One
of the rings was a solitaire diamond
and the other was a ring of less value,
gold with setting. 1t was just before
a heavy snowfall and. although she ad-
vertised the loss, she had little ex-
pectation of ever finding the rings
Robert Mauger, a day or two ago, was
kicking the ground in the school yard
while mentally trying to solve some
Knotty problem in fractions that had
boNNhOu AiAhA mat DAY IN ScnOOl. sud-
denly his eye caught sight of a gleam-
ing bit, which at once suggest ted treas

gated and found that 1t was located
inside a dirty rag, which on closer in
spection proved to be sheer woman's
handkerchief. so blackened with dirt
and encrusted with cinders as to rend-

Inc one corner was tied a knot In
side the knot, from between the fine
meshes of the linen, CLEANED the gem,
whose sparkle was sufficiently dazzling
1t almost appeared to have burnt up the
linen which enclosed IT.
Robert remembered reading in THE
TIMES long, long time ago. that a
teacher in his school had lost some
rings. He couldn't remember the name
of the teacher, so could not return the
rings to her direct. So he did the next
/ best thing. He took them to his own
teacher, Miss Barnes, and Miss Barnes
after cudgeling her brain recollected
that 1t was Miss Dietrich who had lost
the Jewels. She took them to Miss
Barnes, who sent Robert SIS as a recon-

ENDURANCE CONTEST

The seventy-two hour endurance race
on roller skates between ]. E. Eek
ford of Muncie, Ind. and three local
skaters, each skating twenty four
hours commenced last night at 1890
at the Washington skating rink in
Gary and drew a large crowd
The first skater to compete against
Eckford is NJ E. Mylott of Gary, who
has continued the grind all night and
at the end of the twelfth hour this
morning he was fifty eight laps behind
Eckford. Mylott had rested seventeen
minutes during that time and is now
showing signs Of WEAKNESS and 1t is
not thought he can continue much long
er. John Mullen another Gary skater,
will commence the second lap at 1890
this evening.
Eckford is skating easily at this
writing and is showing signs of
WEAKNESS. He has rested but one min
ute in the twelve hours. He is entitled
to minute rest out of every ten
hours. Eckford eats nothing but soft
boiled eggs during the contest and does
this while he is skating. The contes t
will close at 1850 o'clock Sunday
night The prize offered to the winner
is $50.
