Before Greatest Crowd that Ever Witnessed a Game in the Annals of Baseball History Thousands Turned Away and Seats Sell at a Premium.
YYcst Side Hull Park, Or.

YYIth fifty cent up to 'l to get a gllmpNe of the beginning; of the end of the greatest base ball battle in history. The clouds were dull and lowering and there was n suspicion of tnmv in the air, but the frenzied fan were willing., to' endure any hardship to witness the contest of the clubs iu the name town contenting for the championship of the vtorld. Box iientH that were sold by the club at two dollars euch eagerly were taken at $0, and space in the crand stand con Id not be had at twice the price imposed by the National commission. While the populace clamored at the gates of the ball park the rain fell tit fully ad the wind blew out of the northeast. Such a day in the height of the Keasou would have justified an umpire in dedarinK the game off. and not even the iiiflfct enthusiastic fan would have objected. Hut this was a ease where no time was to be lost. Many of those who congested the park had traveled far and postponement was out of the question. As early as 1 o'clock the ball yard was filled with people from far and near who "hoiiered" to keep themselves from shivering aud shivered to keep themselves warm.

iev complications have arisen in
disposing of the furs over which
bitter law suit was fought between
Mrs. Stella Lulla and Mrs. Mary Sa
bulski and Herman Zeese, owner of a
dry goods store in Michigan City, the
Darrow disbarment case grow
ing out of this trial. A controversy
has arisen as to the ownership of the
four furs that the two women were charged with stealing and on which
Mrs. Lulla was tried and acquitted.
Both women now live in Hammond. Both Mrs. Zeese and the two women
have made demands upon Sheriff Smut
zer of Michigan City for the furs, which ave been in his possession since the Lulla trial nearly two years ago. The furs, which were, found in the possesion of the two women at the home of Mrs. Sabulski, were indentifled by Mr. Zeese and his clerks as having come from his store, but, in spite of this, it will be recalled, the jury found Mrs. Lulla not guilty. The two women are represented by "William J. McA'.eer, a Hammond attorney, who has written Sheriff Smutzer to
semi the furs to him. as they belong to Mrs. Lulla and Mrs. Sabulskl. His argument also Is that the jury having failed to find Mrs. Lulla guilty thereby indicating that the furs must belong to her and her tister. However, Sheriff Smutzer has taken legal advice and he finds that he has no right to give up the property f anybody, without due process of law, and that th fact that Mrs. Lulla was acquitted does not establish her ownership to the furs. The only way in which either party can get possession is to bring replevin proceedings, following which Sheriff Smutzer will turn the furs into court and then the two sets of claimants will have to go before Judge Bichter and settle the matter. Since a replevin suit is the only means by which Attorney MeAleer's clients may ge the furs he has decided to institute a replevin suit, but has not yet set a time when hs will
begin proceedings.

One Time Star In Land of NodWedded To J. E. Howard, Composer.
Rod Wells, one of the most prominent men in the county, was stricken with paraplyis while in the yard near his home in Crovin Point and is not expected to live more than a few hours. Mr. Wells has been in poor health for some time and as he is nearly 70 years old his age is beginning to tell on him. He went out into the yard at about 9 o'clock last night welter he was rendered unconscious by the stroke. Ho was carried into the house and the family physician was called. A hasty examination revealed the fact that the whole of the left side was paralyzed. Up to a late hour Mr. Wells had not regained consciousness. Hd Wells is one of the most prominent men in the county. He is connected with one of the old families of the county and has been prominent as a horseman. At one timt he conducted a livery business in this city and- made many
friends during his stay here.
Kacing Results at Belmont Park,
Weather Clear, Track Fast.
Joseph E. Howard, the playwright, was married thi safternoon by Justice Jordan to Miss Eva Farrance, the one time star in the Land of Nod. Both were divorced from their former spouses in 1906. They came out in an automobile and at South Chicago were stopped twice for over speeding. When they, however, told the policeman their mission he released them and bade them "Godspeed." The bride, who is a pretty blonde, told how as a star actress in the Land of Nod, she met Mr. Howard, who composed the music for the play. Howard
also wrote the score for Ray Peck's,
'"The Paraders" and "Tom Tom."
Shortly after the ceremony was performed the groom presented the bride with a diamond studded bracelet.
Judging from the size of the stones, it
is valued no less than $1,000. The
bride gave her age in the office of the
license clerk as 25 years. Mr. How
ard confessed to 33 years.
George Young the farmer who was assaulted during a saloon brawl by Duffy DeFranee of Ilobart last Sunday, died yesterday afternoon. DeFranee was arrested last night at Crown Point n the charge of manslaughter. The coroner's inquest will
be held this afternoon by Assistant Coroner K. li. Gordon of Ilobart, and
his evidence will be used iu th' prose
cution of DeFranee. Since Young was
an elderly man, and at times drank quite heavily, it is thought by some that his constitution was so weakened that he was unable to survive Sunday's exposure combined with the beating he received from DeFranee. DeFranee admits having been drunk and also that he struck the old farmer but he denies having kicked him so hard that the injuries should prove fatal. DeFranee was in Hammond last night in company with Dr. "Watson of Hobart. They made the trip in the latter's automobile, and left Htbart shortly after Young had died. DeFrance's mission to Hammond vas for the purpose of retaining Jos. Conroy as his lawyer as
he knew that trouble would grow out
of the case.
While DeFranee was told i the afternoon that he would be arrested, he said he was ready to accompany the officer at any time but it seems he was
not wanted until after the death of
Young. He was in Hammond but not
with the -intention of escaping. Mar-
hal Young of Crown Point called on
the local police to arrest DeFranee
but the order came too late. He was
already on his way back to HoUrt
Marshal Young was notified and know
ing that the party would pass through Crown Point, watched for the two men
in the automobile. Shortly after 9 o'clock he made the arrest. Attorney Conroy of this city went to Cro, n
Point late last night for hia client.
Xo blame has been put onto Claus
Zeigler, the saloonkeeper at Ainsworth,
in whose saloon both men had been
drinking.
Young was CO years old, while li is
assailant, DeFranee, is 2S years old. The latter has a livery business in Ilobart. He has a wife and one child.

J-owler is known as a strong Re
publican in politico.
(Special to Lake County Times.) Muncie, liul.. Oct. 9. The Republicans think that they are more than reasonably safe on tbe election of th state ticket, barrlnj- two districts perhaps three they are claiming that
there will be no trouble in the liepublican districts. So far as the stata
and congressional tickets are concern
ed, the party leaders uro feeling pret
ty sure of their ground.
But the hard light is being mad3
on the legislative tickets all over tha state. The Democrats, who are sahl
to have accepted the alliance of tha liquor interests, headed by Albert Lieb er of this city, are putting up a great tight in some parts of the state, and many are the fears expressed that the overwhelming Republican majority in both the house and senate will be cut far lower than is safe. Two yea: s ago the Republicans had! e verything th.-ir way in the legislature. There wasn't, enough of a majority even to make a fuss. So the Democrats made the best o the situation, and did not try any delaying; game. This year the governor wants a strong Republican legislature that. will help him in his efforts to complete what has been started in Indiana. In his late speech it can be seen , that ho is fighting for a Republican . legislature, and fighting hard. In tho speeches of the other Indiana men this same legislative appeal is tho dominant not"-. It lias been stated that the Indiana
insurance companies have joined with the liquor interests in fighting the Republicans. So far as can be ascertained, this story seems to be unfounded.
II O A G L A XD'S TALK OF RULES;

LAN DIS OPENS REI'l BLICAM' CAMPAIGN' HERE TOMORROYV,
YYI11 Speak at Towle's Opera House Arrangements Uelnic Made for His Reception and Iter tainment.
Ralph Hoagland, who ofS'-jated in
the Indiana-Wabtsh game and who is
rerognizfd as an authority on foot
ball, is highly pleased with the new
playing rules as tested Saturday.
"They will accomplish what it was
intended they should," said lie, "that is, they will lessen the liability of in
jury and place a premium on speed
and brains, rather than brawn. It is
the resourceful coach who is to be fear
ed henceforth, for team success will
depend upon strategy rather than beef. This is shown by the success with
which the light Wabash line repulsed the attacks of their heavier opponents. With teams anything like evenly matched it is going to be mighty difficult to gain ten yards on what has been termed straight football. "The rule of downing the ball as soon as any part of the player's body touches the ground Is another timely safeguard, and it will be no longer incumbent on the entire team to fall on a prostrate player of the opposing team simply to prevent his gaining an inch or two of ground. It was in these piled up heaps of humanity that most of the serious injuries were sustained. In the game Saturday few new plavs were tried, and these with indifferent success, but remember the
season is only two weeks old. Under the new rules the game is full of possibilities, and when the plays, calling for fast men and quick thinkers.
are perfected, I fancy football will appeal to the sport-loving public as never before. The penalties imposed
in nivi jn j.ana- aoasn game were
chiefly for holding in the line, and resulted fro ma lack cf familiarity with
the rules. "The fumbles were due to an over
anxiety on the part of the players to get hold of the ball, but all these defects will be corrected in a short time, arl before the season is over the public will say amen to the new rules."
Charles 15. Landis, the Republican! congressman from U.h Ninth district, will formally orx-n the campaign In this city tomorrow when he is booked to speak at Towle's opera house. Charley ha3 been a favorite in Lake county for a number of years and he has made nuch a reputation for himself, as an orator that he is always met with a full house when he consents to speak in this city. He is so much appreciated by th Republicans here that upon their solicitation he has opened the compaign here every year since 1.S9C. Time and again he has packed the largest auditorium in the city to overflowing and the members of both parties havo turned out to do him honor. Mr. Landis is one of the big men at Washington and is a member of sev
eral of the more important commit
tees. This will make what he has to say all the more important and is is expected that he will strike the key
note of the campaign.
Arrangements are being made for
his reception and entertainment and
from present indications the coming of Landis will result in one of the biggest party pow wows that has been held in this city in a long tluie. The members of the Young Men's Republican club have been notified to meet at the court hcise at 7:30 p. in. sharp and go in a body to the oper house, there seats being reserved.
