NOT DEAD BUT
JUST PEG-lEGGED

While on his way to the south end
of Gary yesterday AFTERNOON, Court
Bailiff Q. Harry Schmidt who has been
lending valuable assistance to the po-
lice ever since his appointment. had a
peculiar experience and one that for
a time made his hair stand on end.
Near the corner Of Tenth avenue and
Washington street Bailiff Schmidt no.
ticed q man lying in the sand appar-
emily sleeping off Jag Schmidt tried
to arouse the man, but not receiving
the least grunt. he retorted to an old
trick used by officers in bringing a
drunk to his senses Taking out his
club Schmidt raped the man several
times on the bottom of his feet. but
the man paid no attention to this
rough treatment Lifting up the other
foot the officer again applied the stick
vigorously, but not the least sign of
recognition.
1t was then that little bead of per-
spiration began to appear on Schmidts
forehead when he came to the realiza-
ton that probably the man was dead.
But he found shortly after that his
fears were unfounded, for in turning
the man over he discovered that he had
been pounding on two wooden legs.
away in disgust and. sending in call
for the police wagon. he proceeded on
his way.

MANY PRISONERS ARE
TAKEN TO THE HUB

Sixteen prisoners were taken to the

by officer Metzler in the police patrol
yesterday afternoon, and nearly as
many more will be sent away today.
The arrest sheets show that up TO last
evening sos persons had been arrested
at the local police station. OF that
number nearly three-fourths were ar
rested for drunkenness and vagrancy.
Gary at the present time is flooded with
tramps of all descriptions. and Chief
Martin is confronted with a serious
problem as to how to dispose of them.
During the day scores of Migrants are
sent out Of town. but after walking
seevral miles down the tracks they re-
turn again In the evening and prey
bout the saloons. The majority OF
prisoners taken to the county seat are
fioaters who have been arrested before
and who have caused the police so much
trouble that the only way to dispose
of them is to~send them to the county
jail Scores Of them who seek lodging
at the station every night are turned
away.
