DR.. Raleigh Hale, whom he has left
in charge of his practice during his
absence. reported on the patients con-

communication with the hospital in
Chicago and with the physician In
charge OF the patient. He said that
DIR. Schlieker had passed a pretty good
night but that it will be several days
before the patients exact condition can
be accurately determined.
| The telephone wires between East
Chicago and St. Luke's hospital have
been kept hot since Saturday. by DR..
tSchlieker's many friends who wish ed
to ask regarding his condition.
! DR.. Schlieker's last professional act
before going to the city Saturday
mornig was to perform an operation
for appendicitis on Miss Florence

over which the dredge, engines and
dump cars will be run. says the Blue
Island Sun.
The first work to be done here will
be on the subsidiary channel. which
will take care of the Stony creek and
flood waters while the main canal is
under construction So far all the work
on the main canal has been confined
to that portion west of Blue Island.
Recently, however. contracts were let
for sections of the work extending
almost up to Blue Island, and 1t Is
reasonable to believe that before sum-
mer is over Blue Island will be the
center and base OF supplies for con
tractors all along the line of opera
lions.
1 The section through Blue Island Is
the most difficult on the entire canal
from an engineering point of view ow-
ing to the bridge streets and railroads
that viii have to be crossed. The d.
version channel and controlling works
will also be located at Blue Island. and
1t is likely the work here will be the
last to be finished.

purpose at the hall, from which they
marched, with several bands of music

incoming outside celebrants. Upon
their arrival the body moved to the

This is what really happened in
Gary on Saturday afternoon at the AT
tempt to lynch Grace Smith:
In the Afternoon a rumor-merely a
rumor-reached the city hall that some
friends of Clarence Murphy. the young
man shot and killed by the Smith wom-
an, might attempt to do her violence Or
tar and feather her. The rumor was
that some one might attempt to bother
the woman while she was being taken
to the Crown Point jail
What Police Planned.
1t was the plan of the police to send
an officer or two with the woman to
the county seat via the two o'clock
Crown Point car. Dictator George W.
Young of the Moose lodge or which
Murphy was also member, came to
police headquarters and asked that the
woman be sent on the three o'clock car
as many OF the funeral party would be
on the two o'clock car and Mr.. Young
didn't want to have any embarrassment
caused by having the slayer on the
same car with the mourners.
Would Take No Chances.
In the meantime Mayor Knots and
Chief Martin. thought it best to take
no chances even If there was not any
thing to the rumors so they arranged
to have the woman sent to Crown
Point by auto and by round about
route.
However wnen Mr.. Young made
his request that the woman be sent to
Crown Point a other than the
one in which members of the funeral
party would be some of cops got ex-
cited and thought that Mr.. Young. who
is a contractor, was one of the con-
spi.ators and that he wanted the WON
