EMPLOYE
BOUND AND GAGGED
Leonard Smith Tells Queer
Story to the Police This
Morning.

Allow would you like to be bound head
and foot to a chair and gagged with
a handkerchief in the drear office of
the McIlroy Betting and Hose Co. all
night
Lenard Smith. employed by the Nc
Ilroy Betting and Hose company as an
all around man, went over to the plant
about 1880 last night to fix the fire in
the boilers which are stationed in the
basement of the building and had that
experience. Opening the door he walk
ed into the building through the main
office. Hearing a noise he looked all
around and finally located three figures
on the opposite side of the building.
He then secured a large club and
walked over to where the men were,
and seeing they were caught, they
bounced upon Smith. and after a short
struggle they carried him into the Of
fee, where they bound him hand and
foot to a chair and gagged him by
placing a handkerchief over his mouth.
The unknown men then turned things
upside down. went through papers and
scattered them about, and went into
the other room, where they finally left
Smith in his predicament.
After wriggling and twisting for an

hour Smith finally succeeded in freeing
one of his arms from the ropes and
then united the handkerchief and 9TH
err ropes. He then looked over the
building for the men and was unable
to see anything of them. He did not
call up the police and nothing was
known OF the incident until this morn
ing.
Floyd Irish came to the police sta
ton this morning and told Smiths
story and now a mystery is to be
solved.
Nothing valuable was taken. and
whether 1T was some of Smiths friends
who played a joke on him is not
known. 1t is thought that some or
Smiths friends were in the building
when he came in and hen they saw
him they decided to bind Smith so he
| could not see who the men had with
| them. is It Is thought by the police
| that there were more than three people
in the party.
At first Smiths story was not be-
| lieved. but the police looked over the
situation, found the building as Smith
! described it and also the chair ropes
and handkerchief. Smith said he was
telling the truth, and claimed he knew
nothing more than hat he had told
The police hope TO find new develop
ments in the case today.

GARY ELKS
WIN THE
BALL GAME

The baseball game between the Ham
mond and Gary Elk was played yes
terday afternoon at the Elks picnic at
Kinders Grove and resulted in a victory
for the Gary team by a score of Z to 4.
The East Chicago team which was sup
posed to have played did not show up
and IL was decided by the two teams to
play a inning game instead of play
ing the full nine innings.
The Gary Elks appeared in white
baseball suits and surprised a number
of Hammond baseball fans with the
great game of ball they played. They
have played ball all this season and
have won all their games up to date
having the champion Elk team.
Aud who would have thought w. J..
McAleer could play baseball? Well he
was there with all the fine points of the
game and showed all the baseball fans
the way to run down a fly in cenrerneld.
The game was played for a large silver
loving cup donated by Hammond lodge

precincts in each county and multiply
ing the number of precincts by either
Sl6S or $276, as the case may be. This
Will give them a fair idea of the ex-
pense that they will be put TO for reg
istration next year. And this has to
be done every time there is a general
election.
There were in Indiana at the election
last year a total of 3.136 election pre-
cincts. Figuring on only s16s to the
precinct for the cost of registration, it
will make the total cost next year
throughout the state $526. S4s.
Allen county had SO precincts. It
would cost Allen county $9.136 for
registration in those precincts.
st. Joseph county had 81 precincts.
1t would cost st. Joseph county s~14,616.
Lake county had 81 precincts. 1t
would cost Lake county s9,169.
These are but sample counties, and
the figures show what an enormous
amount of expense was saddled on the
people in the matter of registration
alone. OF course. the figures used in
harriving at this estimate are purely
guess work, but they represent the
estimates made by some of the county
auditors. and it is pretty safe to as
sumo that the cost will run at least
as high If not higher. For instance,
the estimate for Marion county is much
above the figure used in arriving at
the above conclusion, and if the same
ratio holds good in other counties of
the state the cost of registration will
above estimates.
1t seemed that some of the county
auditors had merely read the law with
out paying much attention to what ii
really meant in the way of expense tic
their counties. and when the figures
we're shown them they were taken OF
their feet.
Another matter in connection with
the registration of voters next yeal
that is attracting much attention is thu
amount of additional 1abol

In counties where the counay audi
tor decides hat eight hours shall con-
stitute a days work for the registra-
ton officials this amount will have to
be doubled. and each man will then
get s72, or a total for the three of $2l6
for the three sessions.
In addition to this. supplies. blank
books, etc. will cost, it is estimated,
from IS to $40 for each precinct, A
room Will have to be rented for a regis
tration place in each precinct, and 1t
will be impossible to get a place for
less than $40 for the three days, on an
average. This will make $40 for the
three sessions.
Meals will have to be bought and
paid for for the registration board In
each precinct. just as at an election.
The board members are required to be
at the registration place in time to
open the place at 8 O'Clock, and they
may keep the registration booth open
until S o'clock at night. provided a
voter comes in every FIVE minutes to
| register after 6 o'clock in the evening.
| This will mean that the embers will
| not get through with their work be-
fore 10 o'clock at night. 1t Will be
necessary to serve them with break
fast, dinner and supper. Three meals
for each man will mean nine meals a
day for the three. and for the entire
three sessions 1T will mean a total of
at least 81 meals which will have to be
bought for the member of the board,
These meals Will cost on an average
it is estimated, IS cents each. This will
make a total OF at least $40 for meals
If the board members get only one

Wages of board members. sos.
Rent of room, $40.
Supplies. $40.
Meals. $40.
This makes a total OF s16s for each
precinct. If the board members receive
pay at the rate of an eight hour day
the cost will be just double for theil
pay. This would make the total cos
s276 for each precinct.
