the various tickets that are to be
placed in the field for the municipal

1t is almost a settled fact that for
the Robertsdale people hat Henry T.
Eggers, the present councilman, will
run again and that he will have for his
democratic opponent phil" Smidt. for
mer superintendent of the Knicker-
booker company's icehouses and prop

and relatives of this city were shocked
beyond measure this morning to learn
of the untimely death of John Farley,

accident at Pacific. Missouri yesterday
afternoon. Although the telegram did
not bear the details of the accident,
Farley fell from the top of box car
and was instantly killed beneath it's

employment. They were bound for a.
Missouri city whose name could not
be learned. There they hoped to Sc
cure work. The telegram stated that
Farley met his death at Pacific, Mo-.
yesterday afternoon. 1t is thought
that he was riding top of a freight
train and that Peterson was witness
to the tragedy.
Farley was 25 years old and has been
a resident of Whiting all his life. He
was well known and thought of by
| all his wide circle of friends. Before

IN REGION

Hammond and Gary Greeks from
whose colonies ment went 70 the front
for the Balkan war. are very much in
terested in the return of Captain George
Petropulous of e14 West Polk street,
Chicago who many of them know.
When the call went out for lighting
men to enlist In the war of humanity
against the Turk, Petropulous was the
hrst TO respond. His enlistment papers
were the first to be issued from the
offire of Nicholas SalopouIos. Greek
consul in Chicago
The captain returned somewhat shat
tered in health after lying for three
weeks in g, field hospital near Janina, but
he made light of his injuries, and his
eyes sparkled as he told stories of the
heroism of the Chicago boys who had
gone to the front when their country
needed them.
He was met at the Polk street station
Athletic club, of which he is vice presi-
dent, and by committees from other
Hellenic societies.
Many were the inquiries he received
as TO absent friends. Occasionally a
name would be mentioned in a hushed
voice, and 1t was understood that one
more face familiar in Blue Island ave-
nue. or Halsted street would not be seen
again.
There was some consolation. however
in the stories of bravery told by the
home conner. OF the 5000 young Greeks
from the Gary steel mills. from West
Hammond and from the heart of the
West Side, more than 100 lost their
lives
