That Charles A. Johnson, whose term
of office as auditor of Lake Co. expires
next year, will be the next republican
chairman of Lake county is the hand
writing on the wall. He will be the
successor of f. r. Schaaf Jr., who at
the close of the year will resign long
and arduous terms as the leader of the
republican party in Lake county. Mr..
Johnson is believed to be particularly
well qualified with the political situa-
ton in Lake county to prove an ac-
ceptable county chairman, and while
not actively seeking the honor, 1t is be-
lieved that he viii be elected next

tention was given her. She could not
talk, but moaned continually, my
God, wish could die" Her face was
horribly cut.
Dragnet Thrown Out.
The country was by this time in an
uproar. All the authorities were tele-
phoned for. EmmerIings ambulance
was summoned, and from the homes Of
vanes and Scheidts all the farmers
were called up around. They left
whatever work they were doing and
armed themselves. As many as sew
enty-five people, silent and breathing
revenge from every pore, started the
search.
Reaching out in every direction Of
the compass, the dragnet was thrown
out, All the cars on the Gary & In
terurban line as they came into Ham
mand, were stopped by armed men
who demanded to see the male pas
sengers.
Condition Is Pitiful.
The poor girl was brought to ST.
Margaret's hospital where the sisters
had prepared room for her coming.
Drs. Young and Miller were summoned
and were ready for her upon her ar
rival. Her mouth was battered and cut
! so badly that even c,Ioroform could
not be administered to ease her suf-
ferings.
| Her father, weeping, was in the re-
ception room waiting for the doctors
to give him permission to see her.
| Her upper lip was swollen shut. She
could not open her eyes. On one side
Of her chin there is a jagged cut two
the opposite side is a hole BIG enough
to put finger through. In all there
are twelve stabs in her face, neck and
head. The doctors have not been able
to ascertain just what damage was
done tc the right eye, but it is serious.
The doctors say her injuries will not
result fatally.
Caught In Vacant Room.
In the meantime Officers Strong,
Law and EinseIe, travelling the East
Hammond roads, noticed wet foot
steps leading to the Standard district
near the car works. They noticed
bearded fellow sinking around one of
the houses and followed him. WheF
they got to the structure the fellow
was hiding in a vacant room. He was
wet and filthy to his waist. His
hands and clothing were bloody.
strorg said, This is the fellow we
want" and grabbed him, Miller maxi
ing no attempt to get away. No weap-
ons were found on his person. They
took hsm to the G. & 1. car and to
Hammond.
The station was jamnned when the
party arrived and he was again
searched and booked Chief Austaen
who was out looking for the girls as
lsaiiant, was awaited before any ques-
tioning was done.
With the police and Miller, Mr..
kickert and Frank Trafine came to the
jail. They had seen the fellow fol-
lowing the girl. She had asked Kick

but he told her she was all right

Only One Other Like It.
Only once before in Lake county has
there been crime approaching this in
shocking details committed, and that
was when the dead body of fraiI little
Ella Schroeder was found between
Hammond and Gary years ago, and the
country side was appalled, at the hor-
ror of it,
When the news of the outrage was
first made public a posse of in infuri-
lated farmers and men of Hessville and
Highland, armed with shot-euns, re-
voivers and ali manners of weapons,
drew Gordon around the scene. The
Hammond police in squads hurried to
the spot. Sheriff Grant and an auto
posse came up from Crown Point and
Iscoured the country, while the Gary po-
lice closed in from the east. The East
Chicago authorities watched the roads
leading from Gibson to prevent the
villains escape.
Crime Is Dastardly.
The story of the crime is the most
shocking thing ever recorded in this
part of the state. Some of it is un-
printable. The victim is Miss Annie
Krause, aged IS. She is the daughter
of John krause, of Highland, a car
penter contractor. This morning she

Miller. who attacked her, had evident
ly seen her leave the village and fol-
her.
Up to this time what happened was
only obtainabIe in disconnected sen
tences from the girl right after she was
found. When she drew near the Cal
umet river bridge on the HessvilIe
Highland road, she heard footsteps ap
preaching on the stone She did moi
recognize the man who wore heavy
dark beard. Miss krause did not like
his looks and he hastened towards her
She started to scream and the brute
Ieaped upon her and sought to attack
her. He tore her clothing from her
and she fought with fury, scratching
i Miller's face until he struck her re
peatedly on the mouth with his, pow
erfuI fists;
A Fiendish Attack.

that has overtaken you. and, though
you are compelled to mourn the loss
of this one who has been your COM

sole you with the assurance that
there is another who sympathizes
with you and seeks to embrace you
in the arms of the unfailing love-"
To this the bereaved husband re-
piled by asking, as he gazed into the
minister's face "Whats her
name? "-Kansas City Star.
