SUNDAY FURNISHES
ITS USUAL QUOTA

While three Englewood motorcyclists
were running along the road a mile
east of Hessville. in the vicinity of
Brennocks farm. at the rate of sixty
miles an hour an automobile crowded
one of them from the road.
The machine struck an obstruction
and was wrecked and the two other
machines piled up on top of 1t. Two
men were injured in the accident. One
was unconscious for several hours.
The injured are:
J. l. GIFT. 500 West Fifty ninth
street, Chicago; legt broken and badly
lacerated
An unknown man who was taken
TO East Chicago in an unconscious con-
dition and later went into Chicago
Following the accident the one man
IN the party who was not injured went
20 the Brenflock farmhouse and asked
for assistance in taking the injured men
TO East Chicago.
The Brennocks took him to the neigh
boring farm of Louis Even. where Ew-
ems motor truck was secured and took
cycles to East Chicago.
The identity of the automobile driver
who crowded the motorcyc1ists from the
road was not learned, That the acci-
dent did not result fatally to one of the
riders of the motorcycles is a miracle.

RESORT KEEPERS ARE
TRIED BEFORE JUSTICE
One Accused Gets Off Scot
free and Others Will Be
Tried Tomorrow.

Judge Frank Green of the West Ham
mond justice court yesterday found
Henry Foss of West Hammond not
guilty of running resort This fol-
lowed the arrest of Foss several days
ago by the West Hammond police.
1t is said that there was no direct
evidence that Foss ran the resort from
which a number of inmates were TAX
en-. The place was in charge of a wo-
man. She Is said to have rented the
second floor from Foss. The evidence
was that she packed up her belongings
and to have left the city. So by shift
ing the responsibility on her Foss' IL
cense was saved
The fact that a resort was run in
the building and that under the law he
is responsible for the preservation of
order was overlooked 1t was hoped
that by convicting Foss of this charge
that he could be deprived of his license
and forced to leave town.
Similar cases will be brought up be-
fore Judge Wittenburg of Burnhan
next Thursday. They involve a man by
. the name of Bills and also the notori-
Gus Con Tally who has been a fixture
in West Hammond for years.
Whether or not wittenburg will take
different view of the situation re-
mains to be seen. Girls and men have
been arrested in all of these resorts. In
some cases they have been found guilt,
and in others they have pleaded guilty
to frequenting a disorderly place
And yet in spite of these facts the
| keepers of these saloons cannot be con-
victed on the charge of running disor'
derby places. 1t is a strange condition
| of affairs.

DOG OWNERS TO
Be PROSECUTED
Besides Neglecting to Muz-
zle Dogs They Also Fail
to Pay Dog Tax.

One hundred North township dog
owners are in danger of prosecution
because of their failure to pay the
taxes on their dogs.
Trustee John C. Becker is making up
list of delinquents today which he
expects to turn over to the prosecutor,
the defendants will have to settle in the
courts.
Although the law does not require it,
Trustee Becker sent to successive no
tices to the dog owners, warning them
against their delinquency. Many heed
ed the warning, but in the neighbor-
hood of 100 have thus far ignored the
notices.
These wholesale prosecutions are an
annual affair, and few of the delinquent
dog owners escape once their case is
taken into court There they are COM
PEELED to pay the license and in addition
are charged with the court costs, which
may run up from SIS to $40.

OFFICER Charles McElfresh of the
Gary police department who used to
have considerable experience browsing
around in the swamps and Businesses
of Arkansas penetrated into the marsh
and woods southwest of the city last
night. When he came back he brought
with him Levy Moses the negro, want :
ed by the police for the murder of Rob
ert Davis in Gary last Wednesday
night. The first genuine clue to Levy's 5
whereabouts was furnished by THE
TINES last week.
How He Got Him.
McElfresh captured his man as he
was returning to his retreat in the
wods at 1880 o'clock last night. The
policeman was hidden by some bushes
and as Levy came creeping through
the underbrush he covered him with
his revolver and told him that he was
under arrest

PROSPERITY? WELL,
HERE'S SOME MORE.

For the first time in the history of
the Panhandle shops at Logansport
they will be operated with a full force
of men ten hours day during July
and August. In past years the force
and working hours have been reduced
during these two months and usually
only a few men were employed Not
only has a notice been posted that the
shops would be operated by full force,
but the heads of the different depart
ments have been instructed to hire ad-
ditional men. With grain moving
within a week or two the road will be
very busy taking care of the traffic.

WATER SUPPLY
rs SHORTENED

Two bad leaks In the Holman
street water main were discovered at
the river bridge this morning. 1t is
thought that the lead connecting the
pipes gave way owing to the pressure
caused either by the settlement of the
bridge abutments or by the weight of
the pipes. A leak was found on each
side of the bridge. The fact that the
new pump is not yet running elimi-
mates the pressure to be caused by It
as a cause for the trouble.
