peared from his home in OIcott avenue
last Tuesday, and whose body was

The deceased had been employed for
sixteen years at the Graver Tank
Works, where he worked up to the Sat

Tuesday morning. Meyers left tbs

stood on the shore waiting for him to
come up to tell them how he found the
water. But he never came up.
1t is presumed that the diver was
taken with cramps which rendered him
helpless, as the water especially in
this vicinity, is possessed by currents
of greatly varying temperature and
exceedingly dangerous in consequence
The men who accompanied Murray to
the canal becoming alarmed at the
length of time the man was under
water, summoned help. Oficer Steve
Kerr arrived upon the spot a few min
utes later and work of dragging the
canal was begun at once. The officer
and Nick Hunter, a constable worked
all afternoon in a fruitless effort to To-
cate the body, and in this he was as
sisted by large number of millhands.
Work continued all night without re-
suits until at O'Clock Sunday morning
one of the men engaged in dragging
the canal. caught the body with his
graphing hook and brought it to the
surface
There will be an inquest today and
the funeral Will probably take place
Wednesday.
The news OF the deatn was broken
as gently as possible to the young wife
of the deceased. and her grief was pitt
| full, as was also that of the parents of
the young patternmaker who live but
few doors from the house occupied
| by their SON.
The currents at the canal where the
drowning took place are hot and cold.
| The cold water is constantly flowing
| in from the lake while the hot water is
being discharged from the mill. This
makes bathing in this vicinity exceed
Iingly dangerous and every year wit
nesses a number of deaths by drown
| ing here.

JUDGE HAS BUSY DAY.

East Chicago, May PA number OF
cases were disposed of by Judge Walter
j. Riley on Saturday. chief of which
were those of Anton Rudman and Dan
Morovich of Gary, who were arrested
after an exciting chase by the police of
Hammond, East Chicago and Gary, for
shooting in a spirit of fun" a horse be-
longing to the American Express com
pany.
Rudman and Morovich were returning
home from the wedding of a friend
which took place in Indiana Harbor

company's team in front of the Jordan
plant. One of them pulled a revolver
and fired it at one OF the horses, the
shot taking effect in the animals s.
breast.
Judge Riley fined both the miscreants
500 and gave them 100 days in Jail.
Rudman appealed his case and is out.
Morovich, on the other hand. has not
been able to take out an appeal bond
and unless he does so within a day or
two. will be taken to Crown Point to
serve his time.
The South Chicago police having
take George Wendt. who was said to
have been wanted in that city for a
number of crimes back to the scene of
his alleged misdoings, he was brought
before Judge Riley Saturday.
Wendt is the man who was chased
| from the Lake Shore depot few even
| ings ago, on the supposition that he
was a hold-up man. There was not
sufficient evidence to prosecute him or
the robbery charge, but there was &c
convict him on a charge of being drunk
and disorderly Inasmuch as he is con-
sidered a bad character and has beer
| ordered out of town on a number of oc-
casions in the past with instructions
never to return, Judge Riley fined hin
| s25 and costs, amounting to s35. HI

you please go with me to the sales

They went to the counter and Mr..
Stewart said to the salesman:
You told this lady that this ma
terial is all wool. did you not? You
know better than that
1.-The salesman did not know Mr..
Stewart, SO he answered rather flip
PANTY:
" No, I did not tell her that it was
wool

6 Go to the office, Young man, and
get your money. 1 don't want any
salesman in my store who will lie
about my merchandise. 1 am Mr..

HE went.
Now, that was a great many years
'"That incident made a great i'm
preston on my mother. She told it to
her friends. She always had I'M
BOUNDED CONFIDENCE in the
Stewart store after that
The name A. T. STEWART is
remembered by everybody in
America and always will be.
He was a great merchant, and it
is because he was both great
and HONEST that he is remem-
bered.
How about statesmen and
saleswomen who are taught not
to tell the truth but are taught
to lie about the QUALITY and
PRICE of the merchandise they
sell?
Wouldn't it be just as well for
modern merchants to follow in
the footsteps of Mr.. Stewart?
Does anybody know of bet
ter way to build up good name
in business than by GIVING
THE PUBLIC A SQUARE
DEAL?
And which is better-a good
name, or a lot Of money with a
name that won't stand the sun
light?
