Y. allus want t be good an sure

easy money.
Y might jest ez well acquit EN- now

where there's smoke. there must be a
purity stiff blaze round.
The sad news reached here at 6
o'clock last evening announcing the
death of Mrs. Nasshahn of Merrillvi1le..
who succumbed after day of agony
from burns she received early yester-
day morning. Mrs. Nasshahn, a wild
owed lady living with her son. William.
in Merrillville, arose about ) o'clock
yesterday morning and started to burn
up pile of rubbish in the yard. Her
clothes caught on fire and before she
could get aid she had been frightfully
burned about the body. Everything
was done to alleviate her suffering un-
Ill nearly p. M. when death relieved
her. Mrs Nasshahn was about sc years
of age and was born in Stress. Ger
many. The funeral arrangements have
not been completed as yet.
Considerable excitement was caused
here yesterday when the news of the
Gary bribery cases became known. The
aldermen Implicated in the charges
were all brought here and placed under
bonds. T. E. Knots. the ring-leader
and king bee in the deal, did not APP
pear. he giving bond at Gary. The
cases will probably be set for the next
term of court, but the chances are they
will follow the route of the other cases
against Gary's willy mayor and he and
his crowd will again succeed in get
ting out OF the meshes of the law.
Again it is said the evidence is strong
against Knots and his gang, but aft
err six or nine months of court delay
1t is not likely 1t will prove any strong
er than the other cases were after the
several courts had their inning.
The courthouse baseball team defeat
