A WEDDING
CELEBRATION

There was a wedding celebration at
Columbia hail. Calumet, East Chicago.
last night and to d a little eclat and
diversion to the affair, Joe Jaswej. 449
Vernon avenue. pulled a gun in Steve
Chabe's saloon and began to fire some
what promiseuousIy into the crowd.
The effect was magical. Diversion
was at once secured. A halt was called
on all other festivities and the interest
became intense.
When & semblance oF quiet was again
restored, it vas discovered that Joe had
made a remarkable shoe. No scout Of
the plains. demonstrating his prowess
on some unlucky tenderfoot, could have
shot the heel Of a shoe off his victim
with heater dispatch or more real art
than did Joe. Not a drop Of blood did
he draw.
The shoe was on the foot % Tim
Balog. a ~neighbor who lives at al
Vernon avenue.
The police got word Of the pistol
practice and arrested Joe shortly after
the event happened. Steve Chabe had
the pistol and refused to give it up to
the officer so he was placed under ar
rest too.
Joe is under the serious charge of
shooting with intent to Kill and Steve
will be tried for interfering with an
officer.
