WAS PINCHED FOR JUMPING IT The Underhand Twirl e r Had to Dig Up Five for Some Last Winter Meals. Harry Hay. a member of the Dunkirk pitching staff, was arrested last Friday by Marshal Green upon a warrant issued by Squire J. H. Smith charging Harry with jumping a board bill in this city some time ago, the affidavit being sworn to by Reynolds and Bailey, proprietors of the Peoples’ restaurant. It seems that last fall after the base ball season closed that Hay returned to this city and proceeded to make this his home for several weeks and during that time took his meals at the Peoples’ restaurant, which he never at any time paid for, and one night he left the city and Reynolds and Bailey were forced to content themselves with holding the sack. However, they kept very quiet concerning their loss and yesterday when the Dunkirk team arrived and they learned that Hay was with them, they at once got busy and filed charges the result being that Harry was pinched. He appeared before Squire Smith together with his manager, Mr. Frazee, and the case was settled by Hay paying the amount of the bill, which was five dallars. Under the new statute it seems board bill jumping is a serious offense and is punishable with a heavy fine and under the circumstances Hay was lucky to escape as light as he did. — —r> Every Woman Will Be Interested.

RESULT FROM GARY PROPERTIES Nearly Two Thousand Deeds Are in Question —Lots Worth Many Times the Original Value. Adams county people who have been tempted to invest money in building lots in Gary, the new boom town started by the steel trust, will be interested in knowing that Judge Palmer, of Monticello, sitting as special judge in the Lake circuit court at Crown Point, trying the complex suits to quiet title brought by Walter Ross against over 1,000 defendants has found in favor of 200cross-complaints as against Ross. Decrees were awarded Ross in nearly 1,000 cases, where the people owning lots knew nothing about the litigation, owing to the fact that the Owners are scattered all over the country. The suits show an amazing tangle along real estate lines in the GaryTolletson district. Four years ago the Calumet Land and Improvement Co. and L. A. Bryan, preseident, deeded nearly 2,000 lots to Walter Ross. He mortgaged back to the Calumet Land Co. all of this property. In the meantime lots with shadowed title were being sold in every direction. The owners valued them at $5 and $25 each. Many of them were sold at tax sale. With the Gary boom, Ross instituted action in the Lake circuit court to quiet title. When people appeared in court and contested he dismissed as to them and in nearly 300 cases he took default. Originally one suit, Judge Palmer split it into 400 different cases and nearly -every lawyer in Lake county, fifty in number, has a client. The non-resident notice was published in a little country weekly newspaper, and non-residents knew nothing about the notice until it became noised abroad. Possibly 200 people owning lots filed cross-com-plaints against Ross, and the court found in their favor. The transactions involve a thousand people. The lots are now worth from SSOO to SI,OOO each and the litigation will be never ending. Neither can it be settled till the court of last resort gets hold of it. o DIDN’T PAY HIS DOG TAX. And Nick Vandewater Had to Pay a Fine. Nick Vandewater, an employee at the city water works, was arrested Friday night by Marshal Green on a charge filed alleging that Vandewater was harboring a dog that he had not turned in to either the assessor or trustee for taxation, which was contrary to the forms of the statute governing such cases. Mr. Vandewater was arraigned immediately after his arrestbefore Squire J. H. Smith, where he acknowledged his guilt, saying that at the time the assessor was around and listed his property,, that he asked him nothing concerning a dog. The court, however, found that Vandewater was guilty and gave him the usual dose of a dollar and costs. Vandewater stayed the docket and was released.

SCORE WAS SEVEN TO ONE Visitors Make PitchersWay and Burns Hop Sideways and Secure Fifteen Hits. Dunkirk, the much touted base ball team, made their first appearance here Thursday and my how they did sting us to the tune of seven to one, and we never even had so much as a look in. That the Dunkirk team is strong goes without any further comment, and we might admit that they were even stout. Every man on their team is a ball player and every ball player is a hitter and the reckless manner in which they permitted their bats to come in contact with the ball was a caution. Fifteen hits were all that they secured off of Way and Burns, and some of these were only stopped because they hit the fence, while on the other hand Romine was so stingy that he only permitted our boys to hive four little measly hits, one of these however resulting in a little run, which for three innings looked like a mountain, but which was soon wiped out when the Dunkirk boys got the right gauge on the ball. We had heard much about this team, but were under the impression that they had been overestimated, but from the way they acted at the park yesterday they deserve all claimed for them and we predict that if they keep up the merry clip they are going |hey will make every team in the circuit play remarkable ball to beat them. The run getting upon Decatur’s part started early in the game and likewise finished early in the game, for the only run we secured came in the first inning the result of a pass to Nash, a sacrifice and a two base hit, although we got three more hits, we were unable to cross the plate again although we were entitled to a run in the sixth, but a piece of dumb base ball soon made us forget it. Dunkirk did not start their run getting until the fourth inning, when by good hard consistent hitting they scored four times, thus putting the game on easy street. However, to cinch the game, they added one in the fifth, sixth and seventh, making their total seven. During the process of making the four runs it simply rained base hits and pitcher Way was glad to see the bench waiting for him. However, the boys from the south had a little reception for Burns, who started to pitch in the fifth and proceeded to let him know that they had not lost their batting eye and the clouting continued. Harry Hay pitches today, and we trust that the boys can pull this game out of the fire, thus securing ap even break. The score: Decatur.

(Philadelphia Record.) The attention of the Record’s women readers (there is a host of them) is especially directed to the sudden advance in the price of thread. The thread trust has boosted prices 11 cents per dozen. As the cold weather and consequent prospect of poor crops have put up the price of vegetables and breadstuffs, and as meats are also advancing, the thread trust proposes to keep step with-the procession. In order that there may be no escape for the thread users—either those who are not greatly incommoded by a small exaction or those more unfortunate sisters who Stitch, stitch, stitch, In poverty, hunger and dirt — our paternal government imposes a tariff duty to protect the trust and encourage it in its plundering. The women do not enact our tariff laws, which serve to build up monopo lies at the expense of the humblest and most helpless bread-winners, but they do bring into the world the “stand-patters” who insist that such baleful laws shall be kept unrepealed. They should deal with these hardhearted and implacable trust builders according to their desert, in the places where they live and get bed and board. 1

THE SCORE WAS FIVE TO THREE The Locals Pounded out Eight Hits Off “Cy" Alberts, the Famous Interstate Twirler. Pitcher Prough put the first ball he pitched yesterday afternoon for the Shamrocks against Decatur across the rear elevation of Nash’s uniform and in such close proximity to the person. of the batsman that he got his base and this was the signal for a little sky journey that caused Captain Cherry to take the Ossian phenom out of the box, not because he could not delives the goods, but because the team behind him had gone into the ozone and needed a parachute which was given in the shape of Fred Alberts, who had asked not to start off the game because he had not worked for a couple of weeks and was afraid of his control. After Nash got down Behringer bunted and Prough didn’t get his fingers on the ball and the bump went for a single. He was retired, however, on Lindebeck’s grounder to short. Then reliable Louie Gage made a swell pick-up of Burns bounder and threw wide to the plated allowing Nash to score and everybody to move up a sack. Then a wild pitch permitted Linderbeck to score and Cherry muffed a throw to the plate after Burns had been caught between bases and three runs were over. This brought about the retirement of Prough and Alberts went in. The Shamrocks got one back in their half on a wild throw of Koons’ grounder after Smith was out and Cherry’s clout to middle that took a bad bound and went for two sacks. Alberts promoted a run in the third for Decatur by handing Behringer a pass, to which Jack Smith added a bum throw on Linderbeck’s punk push toward first, and Burns lifted a high fly to middle that allowed the runner to score. Behringer’s hit to right in the seventh, a stolen base, a ball that wouldn’t roll foul for Alberts, although he waited it out, and a long fly to left gave the visitors their fifth run in the seventh. The Shamrocks had a nice look-in in the fifth. Way’s well-known wild ness got to working overtime and he passed Gage. Erickson sent him up with a sacrifice and Beach’s and Hoffer waited, filling the bases. With one down Alberts poped to short and Jack Smith went down on an easy infield play. Stock of the home team went up a notch in the closing half of the seventh. With a hand down, Smith hit for a bag, but failed, in an effort to steal second. Koons hit, Cherry pounded one to middle and Behringer made a bad throw, sending a couple of runs over. There was nothing more to it. The hitting of the locals was a bit better than that of the Adams county bunch, but bingles were not productive and all of the luck was bigger than at any time since the season .opened for the Shamrocks, and the game was good to look at, but the big end of the score went the wrong way. Decatur brought up a band of rooters that was enthusiastic and had a good chance all the way through as the lead obtained in the opening round held good. The score: ,

BUT WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS The Disclosure of a Cancerous Condition—Casts a Gloom Over the Patient's Many Friends. Mrs. Dan M. Niblick, who was taken to Ft. Wayne Thursday by her husband, was on Friday operated upon by Dr. McOscar and in so far as the operation in itself Was concerned, it was a success. The operation was performed at the St. Joseph’s hospital Friday morning, and after the patient had been put under the influence of ether an incision was made and it was then discovered that further operation was not necessary as tumorous and cancerous growths were found along the patient’s spine which the surgeon’s knife could not remove, and they informed the anxious relatives that they could do nothing to better her serious condition. The patient rallied nicely from the effects of the drug, and other than being a little weak was resting easier today. When taken away it was hoped by her many friends that the operation would be successful and that she would soon regain her former good health. The surgeon’s statements have cast a gloom over the many friends who deeply sympathize with all concerned. 0 WILL SAIL NEXT WEDNESDAY J From Old Boston'and Will Tour Europe for Three Months—A Delightful Journey.
