CASTLEMAN
HAS NARROW
ESCAPE

NJ. N. CastIeman, the great juggler
and slight of hand performer Of Gary,
came near legislating himself out of
paying 1858 special assessment taxes
last night. but finally wound up by
still owing the entire amount plus the
penalty for delay which he will be
forced to pay at Crown Point
1t developed that a taxpayer, A. ].
Cooper. who came to pay his assass-
ment for the widening of South Broad
way got mixed up in his lots and paid
for, Castleman's in place of his own.
A resolution was then drafted last
night and presented in the council ap-
propriating enough money to reim-
burse the property owner. AS soon as
Castleman heard the proposed ordinance
read he recognized the lot that had
been paid for by mistake as his own
and made a motion that the resolution
be laid on. the table,
Mr.. Castleman afterward made the
statement that the reason that he
wished to block the passage of the res
olution was so that he could escape
the penalty for his delinquency in pay
ment of the assessment. Even for the
accommodation of Mr.. Castleman, there
was only one other councilman ready te
accommodate him in refusing to author
ize the repayment of the money and
that was Emerson Bowser.

CLOSE Up
DEAL FOR
PROPERTY

The Gary franchise holders In the In
diana Michigan baseball league vhavo
practically closed up for the lease of a
valuable piece of property near the
center which will be used for their ball
field during the coming season Just
as soon as the papers are signed the
field will be put in shape, the fence and
grandstand will be erected and Gary
will be able to see as good baseball
as any town of its size in the country
The holders of the local franchise
being men of considerable means, they
are prepared to go heavy on the base
bell proposition the first year, knowing
that the franchise will become most
valuable in a few years to come. They
had practically decided to take over
Kunert's park, until hitch occurred
| in the negotiations and Kunert gave the
park to local talent who have been
trying to organize a ball team In Gary
! for the past three years.
/ The owners of the league team. how
ever. feel that they can we'll afford to
spend little extra money In fitting
out a park according to their own idea
of things, avoid the cost of heavy
lease. and above all have the grounds
nearer the center of the city than Toll
lesion It is likely that work will be-
gin on the new field just as soon az
the weather will permit.
Already scores Of well-known ball
players in various parts of the country
have made application to join the Gary
team, because Of the popularity of the
city and because they believe that In
few years Gary will be one of the
finest baseball towns in the state. Many
OF them have stated that they would
rather play in Gary than in most OF
the larger cities.

Passengers and CREW, knowing Tor
the frst time that something out OF
the ordinary was going on, crowded
TO the front. and the prisoner was
hustled below. As the ofncers and
the prisoner were descending the mar
row stairs Crippen said:
Have you q warrant? What is the
charged
"Murder and MutIiatIoni Oh. oodi"
Mccarthy produced his authority
for making the arrest. given him In
Quebec by Judge Anglers. Crippen
grasped It before the chief could pre-
vent him and read:
Murder and mutilation!" he NUT
tered to himself. '"Oh, God!'
He threw the warrant on the floor
of the ship and continued TO his cabin
absolutely impasive.
A few seconds later woman's
shrieks told those above that the
Leneve woman had been dicovered
and arrested.
when Mccarthy entered he found
Miss Leneve lying on the bed and
dressed In boys clothing. Her lips
were trembling and her face as white
as death. Mccarthy said afterwards
he thought she would break down I'M
mediately, but she recovered hersess
wonderfully and when Dew stepped
into the cabin was quite composed.
She became reticent and said very
little. She was supplied with girls
clothing and after changing her garb
was guarded closely with DR.. Crippen
all the way to Quebec, where the
couple were landed behind the bars.
