BATTLING NELSON TO BOX
IN HAMMOND THEATRE.
Has Figured for Six Performances Beginning Thursday, July 12 Matinees on Saturday and Sunday
Gets $700 for the Engagement.
Topajna Bros., who run a grocery
at 405 Schrage avenue, reported to the Whiting police this morning that
two valuable horses and a new har
ness had disappeared from their
stables near the store during the
night. About the same time Roman Lzudzinski rushed into the station and asked the police to locate a flat delivery wagon which had disappear
ed from his stables. The latter mana grocery and market at the
corner of New York avenue and
122nd street, and he gave the police
the information that his neighbor,
R. Blasrczyk has seen two men hitcha horse to the wagon at 3 o'clock
this morning. They drove away, leading the othanimal. They were traced as far as the corner of Indiana boulevard
and Davidson avenue, but nothing
could be learned of their movements
after leaving that point. John Top
ajana went to the stockyards in Chithis afternoon, thinking that
the thieves may have gone there to
dispose of the horses. Late this af
ternoon Chief Clay Collins went to
Hegewisch to see if he could find
any trace of the stolen property or
the thieves.
In the case of Mrs. Florence Baker vs. The Indiana Harbor railroad and A. Dugan, a brakeman in the em-
ploy of the road, came up before
Justice Jones this morning. Mrs
Drake alleges that Dugan owes her
boxing exhibitions at the Grand Vautheatre, during his stay here.
Manager H. Brooks has made a
deal with the Hegewisch fighter by
which the above engagement will
be filled and for which Batling is to receive $700.00 as his share of the
proceeds.
When it is known that the least
Nelson has ever received for an en
gagement of a week has been $1,250
it will be seen that he has made
quite a concession to the vaudeville
manager in order to give his old
friends a chance to see him in act
ion.
And the town is expected to turn
out. The show is to be advertised
far and wide and it is expected that
there will be crowds daily from ChiSouth Chicago, Indiana Har
bor, Whiting, East Chicago and
other surrounding towns in the
county.
Batling Nelson will spar with Joe
Galligon his sparring partner for
three rounds every time he appears
and the chance to see the shifty light
weight go to it will be eagerly
seized by every follower of the game
in the city.
Nelson had an engagement of
three weeks at the Trocadero in Chi
cago and this is said to be the long
est engagement a fighter has ever
had at one theatre so it may be seen that Manager Brooks is exceedingly
fortunate in securing the Dane for
six nights in Hammond. Brooks
says he is going to give the people a
good show this week or "bust" and
so he has arranged an exceptionally
fine program for the week.
The prices will be 75c and 50c for

morning, "the company was being

Chicago, July 7.-Wheat was dull
and lower again this morning. Liverearly prices were one-quarter to
one-half higher, lower for wheat,
weather in the northwest favorable for growing crops, receipts of wheat
in the winter wheat markets increas
ing and liberal selling by commission
houses were the principal causes of the depression. September closed at a decline of one-half cent and at
about the lowest price of the day.
July was correspondingly weak.
Corn. Market for corn followed
closely in the path of wheat, declin
ing five-eighth for September and about the same for December. The
cash situation in corn is reported
rather weak and offerings from the
country light.
Oats dull and weak all during the session with selling by commission
houses and professional operators.
Market closed with a net loss of three
fourths for all the active futures.
Provisions higher in sympathy
with prices from the yards, reporting
hogs five cents higher there and re
ceipts not as large as estimates.
Packers were liberal sellers on the
advance.
