SHATTER LOVE'S Mil I I B LI It UlSLtth Elopers to Hammond Harshly Dealt With by Bride's Brothers. TRAILED 10 11 HOTEL Four Monsters in Human Form Constitute Themselves a Detective Bureau Child-wife Imprisoned. Constant readers of the marriage license columns of the Hammond daily papers doubtless noticed one a couple of weeks ago, naming the principles as Miss Rosalind Weber and Nathan B. Spingold, the girl's age being given as 19. The contracting . parties were both from Chicago as evidenced by the data furnished by the office of the county clerk. TITere was nothing further than the place of residence to give color to a possible romance, and even this was scarcely signifleent, as bo many unromantlc Chicagoans choose tc come to this city to be joined in more or less holy wedlock. However it has come out that the Weber-Spingold affair was an elopement and the erstwhile h ippy bride is now languishing- in durance vile under the parental roof-tree, while the bridegroom, who being also 19, is still a child in the eyes of the law, and of his bride's family is nursing sundry bruise, aches and pains inflicted by the irate brothers of the fair Rosalind, last Saturday night. It took less than two weeks for the Sherlock Holmeses of the Weber family, to shatter love's young dream. Rosalind js the daughter of Louis Weber, 4334 Grand boulevard, Chicago, her father being a man of wealth and position in -Jewish circles. Nathan is the hop. of a poor Avldow living in Humboldt boulevard. This fact, together with the youth of the elopers, caused Mr. Weber to look askance at the young man's suit for the hanJ of his daughteft When ho was approached as to the possibilities of a speedy union he said "no" in tones too reverberating to be literally classified as Arm. He advised tlr.it the youig people wait until such time as each had acquired a small modicum of sense. Nathan, being In the Insurance business by day and a l.nv student on such evenings as he was not spending in the company of his beloved, thought he had sense, and ' Rosalind knew that she had. So they came to Hammond two weeks ago last Saturday and the necessary formality was gone through with to make them. man and wife. They decided to keep the matter secret and saw each other occasionally for two weeks. Hut in the meantime the Weber brothers, four in number, had gotten their heads together and found out a few things on their own account. Among other things they discovered that their sister was to meet Nathan last Saturday evening and they decided to trail her. Two of them detailed themselves to follow her, while the others laid in wait for Nathan. It was dead easy. The trail brought all six, the pursued and the pursuing, to the Saratoga J lotel, where the young couple registered under an alias as man and wife. This Is where the heavy vlllians got In their smooth work, forcibly taking possession of their sister and sending her home in a cab. and dealing out a few telling blows which they distrib ited Judiciously over the person of the youthful husband, and over his glad young face. Mr. Weber says he will have the marriage annulled and everybody Is awaiting developments. report of enwn lodge I. O. O. 1". MADE PUBLIC.

QGIOGEH IjLOPEBl Silas Lyons, Eighty-five Years Old Weds Eride of Seventy-five. LIVES AT LAWRENCE. Children of Neither of the Contract ing Parties Are Taken Into Parent's Confidence. Sil. V Lyons, 85 years old, of this city, "(as married September loth, to a 75-y kr-old bride. The bride is of Lawrence, Mich., where the ceremony was performed. After each one of the couple had spent the first two weeks cf their honeymoon alone in their respective towns, the groom returned to Lawrence, Mich., this morning. Nobody was taken into the confidence of the contracting: parties, not even the children knowing anything of the plans of their respective parents. Mr. Lyons told his children the news this morning in a very matter of fact way, seemingly not giving it the emphasis that they thought the circumstance warranted. When they had finally realized that their father, S5 years old, was again married, the old gentleman was on nis way to the Xickle Plate depot, "where he boarded the first train for Lawrence, Mich. The first time that the contracting parties ventured out on the sea of matrimony with Dan Cupid as the pilot wa3 some twenty years ago, so their present voyage can not be considered as being too hasty. Before the marriage license clerk at Lawrence had an opportunity to ask the question Mr. Lyons hastened to say that they were asking for the license without the consent of their respective parents. The clerk answered with a knowing smile. To some of the older people around the town the news of the marriage was no stunner as they considered Lyons "foxy." He has always kfrpt his business matters to, himself and from appearances has been reasonably successful. Ample provision is made for the rainy day which mav. however, not ion.e to this couple. Combining his financial resources with, the seven-room house that the bride owns at the future home they may live undisturbed until Mr. Lyons reaches the 110th year

Saturates "Wife' Clotb.es With Gasoline, Lock Her in a Cloaet and Sets House on Fire. One of the most shocking murders and suicides that has occurred in northern Indiana In many years took place at Mishawaka yesterday afternoon. A. It. Ludwig murdered his wife, threw her body into a closet on the second floor and set fire to the house about 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon. He then cut his throat and both wrists and severed the arteries in one leg. The fire department was called and when the firemen broke Into the house they found Ludwig lying on the floor, his throat cut, his wrists slashed, blood gushing from the wounds and forming pools on the carpet and staining the white bedspread and pillows. It was plain that Ludwig was dying and that there had been a terrific Btruggle In the room. A further search revealed a still more grewsome crime. Upon opening the door leading to a small closet off the bedroom the firemen saw the nude body of Mrs. Ludwig, her flesh burned to a crisp, the only thing recognizable being a band ring on her right hand. The murdered woman is thirty-six years old and the man thirty-seven. Ludwig was of a jealous disposition and has been suspicious of his wife for some time. A week ago he visited the newspaper offices and wanted an article written denouncing his wife for alleged indiscretions with other men. He said that the report was substantiated by neighbors. Ludwig was in a frenzy at the time. Ludwig further was heard of the affair until the tragedy of yesterday. XOT THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES .DOLLAR, SURELY.

T1MEIH Ordered at Crown Point to Proceed by Rail to Ft. Sheridan. Iff BE NEEDED IN CUBA Soldiers Eagerly Discnss Possibility Of Eeing Sent To The Front. There was happiness and cheering in the 27th U. S. regiment this morning when it reached Crown Point on its way back from Fort Benjamin Harrison at Indianapolis. Col. Pitcher and his men may go to the front at Cuba within a few days, so at least are the boys' hopes. While the joy thi3 morning was mainly of a patriotic nature, the fact that they had reached the end of their tramp at Crown Point added greatly to their resolution to lay down their lives for kind old Uncle Sam who provided them with a special Pan handle train at the county seat in which to finish the remaining distance to Fort Sheridan. The announcement caused consider able disappointment along the route which the boys were to travel for the people who had seen them go to the encampment had also hoped to see them return. They camped at Orchard Grove last night and were to pitch their tents at Crown Point today and at East Chicago tomorrow. Arrange merits with the railroad company had already been completed before the regimeTit came to town. They entered on the east side shortly after 10 o'clock this morning but did not disband They marched straight for the depot which lies about a mile from the court house. The train left the station at 1:30 this afternoon and without hitch it is safe to say that by evening they will be in the barracks. Soldier like, the order from headquarters caused a smile of satisfaction and pleasure to pass over Col. Pitcher's face. "While I abhor war for the sake of bloodshed and the consequences that follow, still if there is anything doing I want to be there. I hope the boys and I will have an opportunity to go. said the old war horse after reading the message. .

"Don't you know," said one, "if we go down there, we'll get out of a cold winter up here." t "Yes,, and I've been rolling the bones, until I owe nearly everybody at th? fort. Not that I don't want to pay, but I hate to be around there with no mon ey to pay my debts," said another. Maj- Chas. K.

Ttcnsselaer was visited yesterday by three of the Republican candidates for state office. They are, John C. Billhei.ner of Davies county, candidate for state auditor; Cassius C. Hadley of In dianapolis, candidate for appellate judge, and Fred A. SImms of Frank fort, candidate for secretary of state. Mr. SImms is the man appointed by Gov. Hanly to fill the unexpired teim of Dan C. Storms, deposed from office. The candidates are certainly quite a distinguished and impresive looking trio and have created a most favorable impression among the citizens who have met them. Rensselaer Republican.

Andrew Rinker who was found in West Hammond a year and a half or two years ago acting queerly and wa3 finally adjudged insane and sent to the asylum at Dunning, Is back in Hammond and must again be tried by a jury of doctors who will decide whether he is sane enough to return to his home or" whether it is advisable to send him to the asylum at Logansport. Although the man was captured in West Hammond his home is on North Holman street and in reality he belongs to Logansport, the Indiana asylum, rather than at Dunning, in Illinois, where he was taken. The Dunning officials have been In communication with Richard Schaaf.

The citizen factory which the Lak County Times prophesied would begin operations last night and run at full blast until all of the raw material in the way of Poles, Russians and Italians had teen Americanized, did not make good, and instead of there being 300 applications for citizenship ther were just 15. Cut out the coupon at the bottom oi the page and make seven guesses al to why the scheme to reduce the naturalized foreign population of th county fell through. There is no doubt that there was a big delegation of would-be American due at the clerk's office last night witlj the idea of becoming citizens. In fact, one of the prominent politicians ol the city made all arrangements to hav 300 declarations filled out and th clerk of the United States court had promised to remain In his office until 10 o'clock to handle the extra busi ness. Why Call Deal Off? For some reason or another the deal was called off and it Is now too lat to naturalize foreigners under the old iaw. It has been reported that one of th politicians argued it was only a waste of time and money to round up thesa fellows, as one could never tell how they were going to vote after they became citizens. At best the work of herding in several hundred ignorant fellows and putting them through the mill pioperly, wnlle genuine and old time citizens are watching the Job. is not a pleasant one., and this after all may be as good a guess as one could make aa to why the plan Xeli through.
