Reports from Miller the hermit town
of Lake county, are to the effect that
Judge William Westergren Of the SUI
preme court of Hobart township is
temporarily laid up as the result of
his participation in an athletic exhibit

According to the story told, the Judge
was holding his regular evening ses-
sion of court dispensing Justice right
and left to those of the Millerites who
need 1t, when Ole Johnson who claims
the wrestling championship of Aetna
started to annex the title for Miller
also.
Upon hearing this, the story that
watts with the winds says that the
Judge suddenly adjourned court until
a day in next week and announced tina
he would meet the pride of Aetna and
keep the home title unsu1lied. In con-
sequence a large crowd gathered in the
court room and the jurist and the
dynamite maker went through all the
latest strangle holds as exemplified by
Gotch, Zybzsko and others in the week
ly issue of the Police Gazette.
The excitement was intense and the
court was having the upper hold when
he ran amuck with a stray bit of glass
which inflicted a deep cut on his right
arm 1t is said that the champions ship
honors will be again debated just as
soon as Judge Westergren's brawny
puncher is once more in working order

! Zellihor is drawing up the rules fol
the new battle while Fred Schauff. who
F.. is said to be an expert in such lines
has been appointed stakeholder. The
forthcoming contest is eagerly awaited

ARCHITECT
ON THE JOB
Architect Creighton of the
American Sheet Steel and
Tin Plate Co. Pays an I'm
portant Visit to Gary and
Divulges His Plans.

None OF the present homes in the
city OF Gary will rival in beauty and
attractiveness the residences to be
erected by the American Sheet Steel
and Tin Plate companies for the use of
the employees of their SO mills to be
bui-< rere- Architect Creighton of the
company Is IN the city from Ptttsburg
looking over the grounds today and is
assigning the sites of each structure.
Mr.. Creighton has plans for two
hundred residences They will cost a
total Of ST5e.00o and viii be the first
batch to be erected by the tin plate
company From time TO time homes
will be built to accommodate tie $500 men
who will be employed in the local mills
when they are completely in operations.
The houses to be erected will be for
the operating employees of the first
sixteen mills which are now half COM
pleted-
According to Mr.. Creighton the new
residences are to be unlike the others
in Gary. Every one of the two hun
dred will be fire proof and will be of
concrete construction. There will be
no dats although there will be some
two and three story terrace homes.
The single residences will range in
cost from $4,000 to SO, 900 and the
better ones for the department super
intendents will be the order of the
home of John Kirk. superintendent at
Kirk yard. $50 Jackson street whose
home is of concrete construction. Every
one of the new houses will be located
north of Fifth avenue and on Monroe
Jackson and Van Buren, street This
oil
northwest section of the city.
There will be but few foreigners
employed in the tin plate mills and
most OF the operatives will be skilled
abor. They will be the best paid in
the stee built and they will live in
homes commensurate with theil
salaries AS soon as the homes are
completed the company will start the
work of identifying the lawns and
planting trees in order to lend attrac
tiveness to the surroundings.

COUPLE
IN COURT
Especial N THE TIMEs.)

East Chicago, Aug. u.-Simon
Jeleskis who was arrested for beating
his wife Sunday was on trial yester-
day before Judge William A. IRELAND.
While there could be no doubt that
Simon's wife had gotten the worst OF
it. Simon himself had not come out of
the encounter unscathed. He carried a
black eye as testimony to his help
mates prowess, and both parties ad-
mitted that it was Mrs. Jeleskis who
contributed the discoloration.
Simon did not deny that he had
choked his wife and tried to bite her,
but the testimony developed the fact
that the lady herself was inclined to
be scrapp, so Judge Reiland let Jele-
skis off with a lecture and fine which
together with the costs amounted to
$1490.

INDIANA HAR6OR Nine MAKES
THEM ALL SIT UP AND LOOK

Manager Sternberg and last night there
was a meeting of the managers in
which Sternberg was included, at Ham
mond. AS two or three who ought to
have been there were not present,
second meeting will be held Monday
night in the Hammond Athletic Asso-
citation rooms. and a schedule will then
be definitely decided upon.
Even the Gary papers have been
brought to a realization that Indiana
Harbor is to be reckoned with in this
little matter of the Lake County
championship. While forced to admit
that Indiana Harbor is a factor. and
did good worn in Sundays game, it
comes hard for them to give all the
credit which is due the Indiana Harbor
team in the recent victory

from Wales. Under this arrangement
the Standard Oil Company is able to
buy its tin plate cheaper than it car
buy it for in this country. OF course.
this takes just that much business
away from the American tin plate
manufacturers. and the tin workers
are opposed TO such a system as that.
They believe that all of the tin plate
used in America should be made here
While the tariff bill was under dis
cussion in congress Senator Beveridge
offered amendment to wipe out that
rebate. The amendment was turned
down by the powers that were making
up the BILL but the tin workers like
him for having offered the amendment
and having made a fight to put it
through.
II is believed that at least three
fourths of the tin workers at Elwood
will vote for the Republican legislative
ticket in Madison county this year on
this account, and if they do ii will
mean much in the result of the election.
Another feature Of the situation in
Madison county that is interesting is
found in the decision of the members
of the religious sect known as Gospel
Trumpeters to vote this year for the
first time. The Gospel Trumpeters is
a sect which located at Anderson a few
years ago started a community. They
also established a large printing and
publishing house al Anderson in which
thousands upon thousands of religious
tracts and papers are printed and put
in circulation. There are about $50
voters in the community, and thus far
they have never voted at a political
election or taken any part in a political
campaign. The only time they have
ever voted was at the local option cleo
ton held in Madison county last year,
and they did so then because they
wished the county to go dry under the
county option law.
This year they say they are going
to vote at the election for the first
time, but they say they will vote only
for Republican legislative ticket They
will not vote for any other officers
They declare that they are still in
favor of the dry county and that they
want to help keep the county option
la won the statute books. They fear
that a Democratic legislature would
repeal the county option law and they
are going to vote this year to helI
to prevent this
With the votes of the tin workers al
EIwood and of the Gospel Trumpeters
at Anderson the Republicans of Madi-
son county ought to be able to elecr
their legislative ticket in that county

cratic by about 1900. Four years age
the Republicans carried the county BY
about 1900. The result two years age
was not a fair indication of the rea
political complexion of the county
Madison county had three Democrat,
representatives in the last Legislature
and one Democratic senator. 1t ais,
had one Republican Senator joint,
with Henry county. If the Republican
carrx the county this year it will meal
a gain of four votes in the legislator,
for United States Senator.

MAD DOG SLAIN AFTER
A SPECTACULAR CHASE
Two Men on Motorcycle Pursue
Canine at Ocean Park
and End Its Life

OCEAN PARK, June 27.-Whirling
rapidly around corners, darting at dan
gerous speed along boulevards and
down. narrow alleys, Fire Chief Andy
Anderson, riding a motorcycle, today
accomplished a spectacular chase of a
supposed mad dog. 1t ended with the
capture and execution of the dog, but
not before the machine had negotiated
two miles of city streets while carry
ing the fire chief and Adam Berry,
colored, who is the official dog catcher
of the city.
A Los Angeles man, who refused to
give the police his name, while walk
ing along Pier avenue, Santa Monica,
spied a small coin lying upon the side
walk. He reached down to get the
coin, when a mongrel dog attacked
him, severely lacerating the back of his
hand, Someone then started a report
Of mad dog" which spread rapidly
and in the excitement the animal ran
over the line into Ocean Park. Fire
Chief Anderson, who is also city sani-
tary inspector, was notified, and he in
turn called to his assistance Berry, who
for death-dealing purposes to CANNES
carries q miniature cannon on his hip.
The two men mounted the motorcycle
and the chase began. The dog ran

back to the beach and wound in and
out of streets and alleys, keeping just
far enough ahead of the motorcycle to
battle the aim of Berry, who fired an
occasional shot. Women and children
took refuge inside their homes { ut of
fear of both the dog and dog catcher.
Fire Chief Anderson said his machine
ran entirely out Of gasoline just as the
dog gave up the race and was sum-
marily dispatched by round of shots
from Berry.

JOHNSON HAD NOTHING UP
SLEEVE; ARMS WERE BARE

Say, Ed, your question, "How much
did Johnson have up his sleeve when
he fought Burns, Kaufman and
Ketchel?" is easily answered. Moth
ing. Proof of it? Why, he didn't have
any sleeve, as the only article of ap-
parel on his black frame was a pair
Of tights, racing shoes and yarn sox
So it should be easy for you to handi-
cap the big race (meet) up at Reno
next Monday afternoon by using the
Australian system. Eth?
Baron Long, the best fellow in the
world, has chartered a special Pullman
for the use of himself and friends on
the trip from Frisco to Reno and re-
turn and is making the affair an in
vitation stag party. Baron VIII bet

his old pal and does not figure that he
has a chance to lose.
Big Bill Burns, formerly an Angel
twirler is doing some classy work for
the Cincinnati pennant chasers He
has won every game he has pitched
since Chicago sold him to the Reds
and yesterday he trimmed the Cubs 2
to 0 by allowing only one hit. He
should be pitching winning ball for the
Washington Americans, alongside the
other two Los Angeles cracks, John
son and Gray, but an unfortunate fight
on the grounds dissatisfied him so that
he was traded to Chicago. He Is go

be quite an asset to the Reds in their
bunting hopes.
Sam Keller the crack English ban
tam, and Danny Webster, who prob
ably will be starred at the July 10

hibition of boxing. Keller is ac-

English bantams and Webster is good
at trimming the high class kids who
come this way for tryout. Keller
showed good class in his many maui
ing matches with owen Moran during
the latter's training period at Venice

up to the advance stories of his great

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-The
state railroad commission today re-
sumed its hearing on the proposed re-

CUBAN CONGRESSMAN
TRIES TO KILL ANOTHER
Charge of Fraud Causes Shoot
ing, and Duel Will Follow

HAVANA, June 27-A sensational
attempt to kill Antonio San Miguel,
congressman from Pinar del Rio and
a newspaper editor was made in the
lobby Of the congress today. Congress-
man Manuel Lorez of Oriente was the
assailant. The single shot he fired
went wild. The bullet grazed the head
of Congressman Antonio Gonzales
Lazuio, leader of the Conservative
party, who was standing behind
Miguel. The latter drew pistol, but
the combatants were separated. 1t is
believed a duel between Miguel and
Lorez is inevitable.
The cause of the attempt was
Miguel's denunciation editorially, as
fraud, of the proposition to exchange
the Villa Neva station of the United
Railways for the government arsenal
lands, of which scheme Congressman
Lorez and his colleagues are ardent
supporters
