EDITOR WEARS A

Brought to Light.
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Crown Point Ind. Oct 26.-When it
comes to being Beau Brummel and
establishing the latest wrinkles in the
wearing Of clothes Editor Wheeler of
the Star sets a pace that is hard to
keep up with by swells.
BY attending a swell reception last
winter in Crown Point, clad in an extra
shirt the general editor established a
precedent that has never been followed
more than the second time by anyone,
on account of the climate. 1t remained
for we ed to pull off another fancy
stunt last evening that for originality
probably Will not be beaten in some
time. The editor was one of the
specially invited guests to the base
ball banquet and the fact called for .he
wearing of all the fancy duds the
editor owns
He consequently left home arrayed
like Solomon in all his glory and feel
, ing about as comfortable as fello "
on trial with a dictograph to furnish
the evidence. Getting about three
blocks from home. Mr. WHEELER noticed
that his overcoat had either been
altered considerably since last winter
or he had slumped out of shape sorle.
Reaching his hand to the back of his
collar he felt something like the
. graphing hook Of dredge boat
Further investigation proved the hook
| to be attached to something that felt to
| ye ed like an abandoned telephone
pole. Investigation number three prov
ed that Mr. WHEELER had set new
style of wearing a coat hanger to a
banquet. Those at the banquet how
ever claim that the wearing of the Goa:
hanger was intentional and that Mr.
| Wheeler only took necessary precau-
| tion which could have been wisely fol
lowed by others. of having an addi-
tfonal support for that load of eatables
which every man-jack of them slowed

On Friday afternoon Immediately fol-

entirely of veteran high school men.
Out weighed the purple and white

From doubtful material Coach owen

The club has made a happy discovery.
1t is the fact that it will cost only
about $4,000 to get the golf links in
shape, while 1t was expected that 1t
would cost $1,000
This will allow an extra $4,000 which
will be applied to the building and
improving of the country club house.
1t is the purpose of the club TO make
this building as complete and com

apart it is probable that one of them
would have been severely injured
Loranella carried a loaded revolver
in his pocket. and although he did not

likely that If the fight had gone any
further he might have used it on Rogo.
What the quarrel was about was not
explained, but Rogo said Loranella was
going to shoot him with the gun
The men fought face to face for over
ten minutes, and it took four strong

bruises during the bloody fracus.
The men were charged with fighting
and were tried before Judge Barnett
