ARRESTED FOR ALLEGED ATTEMPTED BLACKMAIL.

Wnlter Peterson, Known In Lake County, in the Toil in South Ilentl on Accusatiou Made by Dr. F "V. Mill, I'roiulnent Northern Indiana Physician. South Bend, Ind., April 26. Walter Peterson, well known throughout Indiana and Illinois, especially among stock breeders, and in Lake county particularly, was arrested here yesterday charged with attempted blackmail, the complaint being made by Dr. W. F. Mills, one of the most prominent physicians in northern Indiana. Peterson, it is alleged attempted not only to blackmail Dr. Mills for ?5,00Q but also ex-Postmaster Horace G. Miller and Dr. R. M. McDonald, threatening to send them to prison on charges of crookedness unless given the money demanded. Instead of complying with the aleged request Dr. Mills, through strategy, succeeded in getting a policeman to his office and turning Peterson over to him. According to Information furnished by the interested parties. Mills, Miller and McDonald are directors of the Live Stock Insurance association, and as such were blamed by Peterson for his dismissal as field manager for five counties in southern Indiana. The directors allege that Peterson was dismissed for failure to turn over a large sum of money which he collected. Peterson was to be tried before Special Judge Kitch this afternoon, but because of tho prominence of all the parties concerned friends interfered and succeeded in having the prosecution stopped and the case dropped. The Live Stock association, organized by South Bend men, is doing business in nearly every county of the state. MAY 2 AND 3 WILL BE R. R. COMMISSION'S BUSY DAY. On Those Dates It Will Receive Applicant Mho Want Jobs As Inspectors of Cars, Track and Equipment lender New Law. (Special to Lake County Times). Indianapolis, April 2G. On next Thursday and Friday the railroad commission will receive but not in the ordinary social sense. It will receive and hear the many men who want jobs as inspectors of cars, track and track equipment under one of the new railroad laws passed by the last general assembly. The commission has looked over one batch, but the bunch that is coming next is too large to be handled in one day. This is tho commission's method of starting the actual enforcement of the law granting them the right to have inspectors over the roads. Within the past three weeks, the commission has given evidence of its determination to get the new railroad laws working as soon as possible, and this is another step In that direction. Under the shippers bill a new car record form has been made; arrangements are being made to test the full crew bill; blanks ara now being prepared for the report of accidents under another section of one of the measures; and the commission is getting after the safety appliance law. Two blanks are being prepared for the accident reports. One not so detailed, with reference to the first report, within five days after the accident occurs; and the other, more detailed, to be filled out within twenty days after the accident. These are now being printed, and today a letter was sent to all of the roads in the state notifying them tha,t the commission was getting busy on the accident end of its work. Slowly but surely the commission is preparing the way for the complete application of the new laws to this state. One thing is started at a time, but the deliberateness with which the commission goes about the business indicates the thoroughness that will characterize every step.

Bruce returned this morning from Lak Bruce, Ind., where he has been on business for tho last three days.

Detectives from Chicago Again Visit Town of the Great Revels to Inspect the Hed Light District May 2 Date S etfor Closing. State's Attorney Healey must be tak ing considerable interest in the West Hammond dives is the concensus of opinion, for last night there were two plain clothes men supposed to be from the attorney's office making a canvass of the red light district from early in the evening until late. One day last week five plain clothes men, supposed to be from the state's attorney's office were in West Ham mond, and while there were in every dive across the line. It is said on good authority that they reported the next day to the attorney's office in Chicago, ; . w - Just five days from today the West

Hammond dives must vacate, according to statements made by:WesfHammond's former attorney, S. K. Markman. The divekeepers have been given the tip that if they do not quit May 2 their

Places will be raided dally by the po lice. The respectable element of West that the dives are going to be ousted, that thed ives are gosng to be ousted, while the people of tho tougher districts are lamenting. Probably nobody will feel better when they are removed from the cillage than several Hammond business men who are directly or Indirectly interested in the village, for they feel that as long as the dives are in the village limits it puts a damper on progress. DRIVER HAS NARROW ESCAPE. I.. E. Locknood, Hiding on Load of Gas Stoves, Falls "When Load Slides Otf. L. E.
