MYSTERY
IN AFFAIR
Gary Cracks Are Suspected
and Sensational Develop

One Of the most daring and mys.
terious robberies ever perpetrated in
Gary occurred last evening about
midnight in the heart of the business
district of the city when $4OO was
taken from the safe in Halls drug
store at the corner of Fifth and
Broadway

Before making their escape the
burglars also took a considerable
amount of money from the cash reg
lister but left the stock of the store
untouched. The robbery was discov-
cred at shortly after midnight by
Clarence Hall the proprietor of the
store who came from Chicago on the
midnight train. He opened the store
to get his bicycle and to tabulate the
receipts of the days business

CASE IS CONTINUED.

After a hearing in Judge Windes'
court in Chicago regarding the West
Hammond election contest, in which
Martin Finneran is a principal, 1t was
decided to continue the case for ten

be deferred just that much longer. The
contest is being made to see whether
the democratic ticket or the citizens
ticket will be declared elected.

trouble necessitates an operation on
the famous speaker and he had to can
eel alEother enga gements.
The getting of Charles w. Miller as
a commencement orator is a master
stroke for the school, for Mr.. Miller is
himself one of the big legal lights of
the state. He made friends in Lake
county at the time when he was can
didate for the nomination for governor
on the republican ticket against James
E. Watson. He is considered one of
the best speakers in the state and will
undoubtedly be a big drawing card for
the evening.
Attorney Miller's consent to speak in
Hammond on the night of the COM
mencement was secured through the
good offices of Attorney Joseph 1bach
who is the attorney for the school.

The defeat of Garst, which is ad-

DES MONIES, Ia, June S.
With only five counties missing to-
night, Governor Carroll, republican,
Is renominated by majority of
706 votes. The missing counties,
being known as Carroll strongholds,
his majority will probably be in
creased by several hundred votes.
The surprise OF the election is
the majority rolled up by Judge
Prouty over Congressman Hull.
Prouty carried every county in the
district, his unofficial majority being
3,100.
Two years ago Hull was nomi-
mated by forty votes over Prouty.

Young ColnteIfciter.

An unusual instance of the youth
lul counterfeiter has just been To-
Gated by United States Secret Ser
vice Agent H. e. Thomas, of this
this city, on recent trip into
South Carolina.
Mr.. Thomas orders called him
TO n point not many miles from
the so-called Dark Corner" of up
per South Carolina, probably 20
miles west of Spartanburg. Here. it
appeared, that somebody had been
using imitation small coin made
from flattened car seals carefully
trimmed around the edges.
Mr.. Thomas finally discovered
the source of the spurious circulat-
ing medium in the person of a IA
year-old boy of the neighborhood.
The boy had no molds or other i'm
pIements for making counterfeit
coin. but it appears that he had ac-
complished his work by placing the
face of a coin on ore side of car
seal, and the back on the other
side OF the seal, and then striking
the combination quick blow
which left the imprint of the front
and back of the coin on opposite
sides of the seal. The rim of the
seal was then carefully trimmed to
the right size, and the coin was fin
ished. The boy, it is. said had
used some of these lead coins to
work slot machines, etc, but there
seemed to be no evidence that he
had attempted to pass any of these.
The method used to make the i'm
itation, or counterfeit coin, is ex-
ceedingly unique, and is rather
new in secret service circles.
The lad was given q severe re-
primand and turned loose, though
the case will likely be placed in the
hands of the district attorney of
South Carolina, who will decide
whether further action is necessary.
