EDITION VOL. 1, XO. 30G. Many Business Men Attend Show From Hammond and South Chicago. MILLING 1SJERY FAST Sharkey Wins in Final From George Kirby A New Joe Grim Brought to Light in One Johnson. South Chicago, Juno 15. There was a large delegation of business men from Hammond and South Chicago at the boxing bouts held last night in Eonath's opera house, Chicago Heights. The popularity of these contests hereabouts was made manifest last night when the fans journeyed by rail, street cars and automobiles, .sleeping on the long journey back. arriving- home in the wee sma hours of the morning. The main go of the night was between Young Sharkey and George Kirby at a distance of six rounds. Sharkey won the decision by a slight margin, but Kirby proved himself a good boy despite t hefact that it was h us first appearance in the roped are na. Hedid not do a whde lot of lighting last night as he persisted In covering, tincanning and stalling, but when he did land a blow Sharkey went back a few feeu The latter won by his ring goneralship, which resulted from past experiences and he wad lucky to get away with a decision. P.oth boys started right in to win by a short route, but before they had gone half way they were tired from their own efforts. A now Joe Grim was brought to light in the person of Kd Johnson, who went six rounds with Jack Kyan despite an awful beating which he received. Ryan was possessed with a wonderful right hand with a punch like a heavyweight and when that wallop landed Johnson either went down to the mat or clutched the- ropes. He was knocked down a dozen times but managed to get onto his feet and continue the bout when it appeared that he must take, the count. At times he j tough back wildly but Ryan was too; much for him. In the last round he went to the mat in the last ten seconds and was barely saved by the bell. Ryan got a wt 11 earned decision. Jimmy Ryan was trying his best to stand the wallops of Kid McCall. a Pto ky red headed boy who outweighed him ton pounds, but the job was too much and he was unable to continue after the third. The red headed boy was no wonder, but he kept on pegging away which brought him victory in the end. The fiercest fight of the night went up to the sreond round when Kid Ih.gan disposed of Paoky Baoon. The hoys started in hammer and tongs and the ring was full of flying arms and gloves. Finally I'.acon got one in the bread basket that was good and plenty. AIR LINE CARS ROiiG Crowds Throng the Streets to Watch Train Pass Through City. Speclnl I-aporte. cars over to Lake County TImes.

EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE COMING

SHOOTS AT SOPPOSED HORSETHIEF Thomas Casbon of Deep River Fires at Prowlers in Buggy. Quite a little excitement was manifested over the little village of Deep River this morning when it was rumored that Thomas . Casbon a well to do farmer hid shot a Tjmru Vv-.. rj vThe fact of the case are that Casbon took a shot at a fellow he supposed was a horse thief and whether or not he hit the man remains a question. If he was hit the man did not show up again and no one has seen him. Early last night Mr. Casbon found a tramp loafing around his farm and ordered him away at once but later in the evening he saw him again and thinking he was there for no good purpose he loaded his shot gun which he placed by his bed for a possible occasion to use it. About three o'clock this morning Mr. Casbon heard his horses making quite a disturbance in the barn and by the time lie had gotten out of bed he saw a rig standing in front of his house. This coupled with the fact that his barn I door was open led him to believe the party had stolen his horse so ordering the man to halt lie started on a run towards the rig. At this the party in the buggy whipped up his horse making his escape. It was at this time Casbon leveled his gun at the man and fired but whether or not he hit his man is not known. Returning to the barn Casbon found his horses were safe and that the- prop against me uoor naa g en away letung the door fly open and causing the noise which awoke him. ESCAPING GAS NEARLY CLAIMS VICTIM ; i Paul Williams Has Narrow! Escape From Death When Light is Blown Out But for the timely assistance of other boarders in the house. Paul Williams of S3 Ninety-second street. South Chicago, would not have been alive this morning. Some time after retiring last evening the light on the gas jet was extinguished and for several hours the deadly gas poured into the room. The windows were open at the time so that the poisonous fluid did not have an immediate effect. Early this morning another boarder in the place detected the odor and tracing it round tnat it came from the room occupied by S imams. The door was broken in by the men and Williams was found In an unconcious condition lying on the bed. If "he had inhaled the gas an hour longer he 'would have been dead. He was removed to the p0iice station where a physician attended him and he later revived enough to leave for home unassisted. . AVEATIIEH FORECAST.

TWO FALSE ALARMS. Two false alarms, one sent in about five minutes after the laddies had re turned from the first call, rut the mem- ! bers of the ocal fire departrrient in an exceedingly bad humor yesterday afternoon. The first alarm took them j down to Carroll street where they were ! permitted to come back at once as the blaze in a woodshed had been extin- ; guished before their arrival. The j horses had hardly recovered from their j 'org run when a call from the Corbett i Locomotive works was sent in and they I w-ere again pressed into service. This i also proved to be false and the exasperated firemen wearily proceeded to return to the station. Some people are j wondering what the department would i have done if both calls had proved to be j bad fires.

SCHOOL: CHEJBSLES Disease Declared Epidemic in Suburbs and Pupils Are Sent Home. GOT AHEAD OF DOCTORS Eeal Danger Was Not Discovered Until the Contagion Had Gained a Long Start. So prevalent has measles become in the vicinity of Oak Glen and Lansing that both parochial and public schools have been forced to close. Out of sixty pupils in the German parochial school at Oak Glen, all but six were afflicted with the contagious disease, which fact necessitated the closing of the schools yesterday morning. In the last two months of school there lias been far be low a maloritv of pupils in attendance and when the number was recently reduced to six. Principal John Foxton became discouraged and decided to discontinue the school work. One Hundred Suffering;. The total number throughout this region suffering from this affliction is said to reach the one hundred mark and the cases are mostly eonrined to the school children. The disease seemed to have gained a big lead before the physicians began to use drastic measures to curb its ravages. The cases became so numerous, eventually that assistance was askd of the doctors of the neighboring towns so that all of the patients could receive proper attention. In the eighth grade of the public school Principal Thompson has been unable up to the present time, to give the iinal examination for the admittance to the iok county high schools as there has been such a small numberber of pupils present. It seems as if hardlv a family in the township had not been touched by the recent spread of the measles. Although the, trouble seems to be at Its height at the present time, there have been numerous cases reported for a period of five or six weeks and the outlook for the future is still less promising. WEST HAMMOND' SCENE OF HOLDOP John Berwanger Assaulted and Robbed by Thugs Claims He Knows One. West Hammond was the scene of another hold-up last night between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock. John Berwanger had been spending the evening in Boughs resort on Plummer avenue. Coming out he started for his home, when passing his brother's saloon which is located west of Bough's place two men jumped out from the bushes and proceeded to beat him up. Finally throwing him on the ground, they relieved him of his money, amounting to a little over $2. After getting the money the two men started on a run and made their escape. Berwanger picked himself up and going before Justice J. J. Flynn swore out a warrant for the arrest of Gustavo Abrich who he alleges is one of the men who held him up. The warrant was given to Officers Johnstone and Okroy who went out and found Abrich who when taken to the station practically admitted his guilt. He was given a hearing this morning before Justice J.
