Mr.. BAUkUS IS JUST
AWAY ON A VISIT
So Telephones Alderman's
Wife to Mayor Knots
This Morning.

Alderman Dominick Szymanski who
went surety on the bond of Alderman
Antony Baukus on his appeal case to
the superior court expressed the belief
this morning that the south side states
man would return to Gary and he furth-
er added that he had no fear but that
his collea cure in the council would at
tend the session of the aldermanic body
Monday night.
Mr.. Szymanski said that while 1t Is
true that Baukus' liabilities approach
nearly $1,000 the mere fact that he
owes money does not lie against him as
far as the law is concerned.
1t is also said that Mrs. Baukus re-
ceived a letter from her husband this
morning stating that he is visiting rela-
tives in Michigan. The story is told in
the south end that the alderman Will
be back sunday night and that when he
left the city he had no intention OF
staying away and had he known that
his cousin Paul Baukus would have
filed an attachment on his saloon he
would have never left the city.
However. some are inclined to believe
that Mr. Baukus has left for good and
they viii accept no other theory until

Throws Gibson's Colored
Settlement Into Fits.
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Indiana Harbor, Ind March 23-The
next time Walter j. Riley and Billy
Hastings drive out past Gibson they
will likely leave Mr. Riley's dog Jack
at home
At least their experience day or
so ago while on an expedition out that
way, with Jack under the buggy. was
one fraught with excitement from the
moment they started out from the
First Calumet Trust and Savings bank
at Calumet. until they returned
Jack is a big English bulldog. with
a characteristic swagger and temper
that will brook nothing in dognesh to
walk in the same block with him. He
frequently accompanies his master
when he makes trips about the region
in his buggy. but Mr.. Riley takes the
precaution to have Jack secured under
the buggy by means of harness to
prevent him from eating alive other

mind who fancy they can was their
tail in friendly or otherwise saluta-
ton TO Tack.
But Mr. Riley was not reckoning on
an ambitious pup who would make
bold passes at Jack under his own
buggy, and thereby hangs this tale.
Near Gibson is a small colored set
Element and while passing the bunch
of shacks which constitute it dog
about a third the size of Jack ran out
and Wiped a the bulldog. As Jack
did not even take the trouble to growl
at the little animal, Messrs. Riley and
Hastings inside the buggy, and unable
to see Jack, thought nothing of the in
cident.
Finally their attention was called
TO something unusual going on by a
number of the dwellers from the set
tlement following the rig. shouting and
gesticulating wildly 1t finally became
apparent that the object Of the excite
ment was located under the buggy and
about half mile beyond the point
where the little nondescript mongrei
ran out. those in the buggy pulled up
and aighted to investigate. The

dead by this time, in his mouth. lie
had made a grab at the presumptous
cur which had ventured too near and
fastened his jaws on the little creature
and had practically shaken the life OUT
of it.
Then the efforts at rescue were be-

legs until he was yanked out of his
harness backwards. but instead OF

owner. In the excitement which fol-
lowed this achievement. Jack got loose
and chased after the man who had
started to carry his dog home The
man, fearing for his own safety, drop
ped the dog and Jack once more got
his teeth into him Again heroic meas
ures were resorted TO in order to get
the dog away and the little creature
was finally returned once more TO its
owner and tenderly carried away. This
time Mr. Hastings made sure that Jack
did not again escape and take after
the retreating figure of the man with
the little dog.
Mr.. Riley and Mr.. Hastings both ex-
planned to Jack that he was no gentle
man to attack a dog much smaller
than himself. but outside of a sheepish
expression. their words seemed to have
little effect upon Jack.

Jacob Bril- was q farmer. a dairy
man and cattle raiser. and he was
worth $4,000. He kept eight or ten
men the year round. and he was a
good man to work for His family
consisted of only wife and daughter,
the latter being named Nellie.
Jacob Briff was not a boaster In q
general way. There was only one par
sicular thing he boasted Of. and that
was that he had never been taken in
and done for by a sharper. He had no
sympathy for a man who had. Not
that he was always bound to get the
best Of a bargain, but that he wanted
10 protect himself.
When Nellie Bril- was nineteen years
old along came a college chap seeking
employment for the summer. He was
30 superior to the average farm hand
that he was taken into the house to
lodge. The father and mother saw the
college chap and their daughter falling
In love and for time had little to say.
The day came, however. when Jacob
said:
Look here. Mary. that young man
is going to ask us for Nellie pretty
soon"
YES. think So"
Two weeks later the young man ap-
preached the father in the usual way
and put the question in the usual way
and stammered and blushed IN the
usual way. and the answer was:
I'm not saying yes or no Just now.
I'll wait a week"
The next day but one Mr.. Williams
WAS told to take a certaih horse to
town and effect a trade. What was
wanted was a heavier horse for the
farm work The animal he took was
perfectly sound in wind and limb.

But he has never traded horses be
fore. and be isn't used to the way that

But it's his native wit and keen
ness I'm testing. I'm looking for him
to get cheated a little. but not too
much"
Five hours later Williams came back
on tho horse be had traded for His
look told OF exultation. Jacob Briff
received the end OF the halter from
him and began thorough lookover.
at the end of twenty minutes he said:
