(Special to Lake County Times.) South Chicago, Feb. 6. Three Italians whose names the police decline to give out are held without being booked at the sixteenth precinct police station, One Hundred and Sixth street and Avenue M, on charge of being members of a Black Hand society. The organization, according to the police has been trying to force Dominic Faleo, of One Hundred and Seventh street and Hoxie avenue. South Deering-, to give up $200 out of his hard-earned savings. The men were brought in late last night. All of them were arrested in descriptions given by Faleo in South Deering. Two were apprehended by Patrol Sergeant Pearson and the other by Detectives Carlson and Ryan and Sergeant Fitzgerald. Faleo applied to the Nineteenth Pre

cinct- police for protection about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after having been threatened by four of las compatriots In O. A. Kurz's drug store, One Hundred and Sixth street and Tor-

rence avenue. He told the police that

he had been threatened and money had been demanded of him when he first came to South Deering in Novem

ber of last year, at which time he pur

chased a couple of lots on One Hundred

ana seventh street. The rmrchaso nf

the lots is said to have put the Black

Hand fellows wise that Faleo had mon

ey, and they demanded $200, threatening that they would kill him If he

did not give uo that sum.

Send EmlNsnry. About two weeks ago Faleo was ap

proached by a boy whom he did not

know, according to his story, and warn

ed that he would better leave the

neighborhood or he would be killed.

Last evening in Kurz's durg store

four men approached Faleo in a threatening manner and demanded the $200.

Mr. Kurz, who was behind the prescrip

tion case, heard a racket in front and

put the men out. Faleo, thoroughly frightened, went to the police station.

about six blocks distant, told his story

and asked for protection.

Faleo declares that he came to this

country from Foggio. Italy, in May of

1903. and settled in Lorraine, O. He

worked hard and saved his money, and

his possession of a few hundred dollars is believed to have aroused the cupid

ity of the Black Hand boys. Faleo relates that the first overtures from the

ociety came in the form of an invi

tation to join the organization when he was in Lorraine. Will Probe to the Bottom. Liuetenant Ryan of the Sixteenth Precinct Police went down town today to visit the Intallan consulate and secure an interpreter. On his return. Faleo will be further questioned and the men under arrest will be given the third degree. The Italian colony on the east side at Ninety-fifth street is being searched for the fourth man who threatened Faleo. Officers Drea, O'Brien, Carlson, Ryan, McNuIty and MeSrath are working on the case, and evidence against the men now in the station is eagerly sought by them.

Mi&lc Nearly a Smart and Expensive as Sable. It is interesting to watch how the different sorts of fur will be one year so fashionable and the next quite out of vogue, and in the same way a novel kind of fur, like caracal, for example. Is when first introduced too Inexpensive to be exactly smart, but in a few seasons has grown far beyond the limits of a small purse. Sables, of course, and chinchilla can never go out of favor. Yet even these exquisite skins will be far more popular one winter than another. This year mink is very nearly as fashionable as sable Itself, and consequently Its price has so advanced as to be almost on a level with the true sable. The dark skins of mink are indeed beautiful and worn with a velvet or cloth skirt of the s.nme shade maka a most attractive costume. One mink Avrap was made up In the empire model, the yoke formed of parallel stripes, while in the rest of the jacket the skins ran horizontally save for a deep border all around. The wrap fell almost to the knees, so as to be

really very warm. The high standing collar was faced with cream lace, and there was a full Jabot and sleeve ruffles of the same, the coloring being

Mrs. Annie Baxter of 895S Exchange avenue, used means a little bit too strenuous to oust an undesirable aenant from her house, and this morning Judge Goodnow gave her some advice on the proper course to pursue and discharged the tenant, W. R. Loveless, an electrician employed at the steel works, on a charge of disorderly conduct brought by Mrs. Baxter. The testimony showed that Mrs. Baxter tried to speed the parting guest with a brass curtain rod, and that Loveless resisted her attacks with some strenuousness. The court held that the premises were in the possession of Loveless until he had completely vacated them.

How Lack of Flavor of Cranberries Improved Turkey. With all her wonderful fruits, California lacks a cranberry worthy of the name. A Xew England tourist ordered cranberry sauce with his turkey one Thanksgiving day at a hotel in Pasadena. An odd-looking and odd-tasting dish of stewed fruit was brought to him. "What do you call this?" he asked the waitress, a girl from the New Hampshire mountains. "Cranberry sauce, eir," she answered, with a faint smile of sympathy for his evident distaste. "Cranberry sauce!" he echoed Indignantly. "That has no more the flavor of a cranberry than a peanut has of a pumpkin."
