BRUTAL GARYITE CROELLVK VIE Neighbors Will Horsewhip Fiend if He Repeats the Offense. One of the most brutal cases of wife beating came to light last evening at )ary, where a young woman giving every appearance or having once possessed great beauty, was brought to the office of Dr. Walsh hardly able to walk, and blood streaming from cuts and bruises on her face and head. The woman was Mrs. Joe Rabenlnskl, who resides with her husband near the out skirts of town. Her husband, who is a young man, was afterwards picked up by Officers Jenkins, Chambers and Catey and was lodged behind the bars The onl- excuse he would give for his cruelty towards his better half is that his wife is addicted to liquor and that for that reason he gave her a beating He did not think that the same rule applied to himself when he was on a "jag," but the neighbors of the man say that such a thing will happen ir he ill-treats his wife again. The woman's face was a mass of black and blue spots, while her head was cut in several places. The blows were administered by the unnatural spouse with a heavy hickory stick and it was almost a miracle that the death of the woman did not result from the Injuries she received. The cuts were dressed by Dr. Walsh and she was removed to the home. The woman has had a similar experience before, and was baaly injured about a year ago in a lonely little hut near the Lake Shore tracks. Despite the injuries she re ceived at the hands of her worse half, she would not prosecute him in court this morning on a charge of assault with intent to kill, as she wanted him to go back to her once more. She was willing, however, that he should receive a lesson in the shape of a small fine. The man will be made to understand that, although his wife is willing to forgive and forget, she is not to be on the receiving end of a hickory stick again. Mrs. Boldt of Hobart and Fred Collins. The young people are said to have gone to the home of Rev. E. F. Barrett of All Saints church at noon to be married and he was not there so that it is not known where or by whom they were married although the friends of the young people insist that the ceremony took place. Miss Boldt is a telephone operator at the Chicago Telephone office in Hammond and has many friends here who if the announcement is true, wish her much happiness. Mr. Collins has a position with the Erie railroad company. A very delightful surprise party was given Miss Gertrude Krauso last evening at her home in South Ilohman street by a large number of friends. The party was given as a farewell to Miss Krause. who leaves next week to make her home In Chicago. Miss Krause was a memeber of the 07 graduating class and of several high school clubs where she has many friends all of whom regret her leaving Hammond. The evening was informally spent with music and dancing after which delicious refreshments were served. Among the guests present were: Misses Ruth Sohl, Grace Dahl, Gretchen Bauer. Eunice Meikle, Frances Hutton, Frances Hamacher. Jane Conkey. Martha Meyn. Hedwig Thum, Lulu Deweese, Grace Kingwell. Muriel Eastwood. Bardie Ripley and Florence Shea; Messrs. Raymond Fox, Hollls Hunter, Will Hutton, Julius Meyn. Robert Wartena, Robert McHie, Ralph Tarsons, Harry Booth and Ellston Elliott.

Tho work Is being rushed and the management announces that they will open for business on the first of July. The shops TELEGRAPHER'S SIRlll!IHEfI All Attempts at Compromise Proved Futile Claims of Increased Cost. (Special to Lake County Times). New York, June 19. The telegraphic world is all agog over the labor situation between the Western Union, Postal Telegraph companies and their employes. That a strike will result is more than probable. All overtures for arbitration, intervention and amicable settlement seem to have been exhausted. The two companies have held out obdurately against any concessions. It is said by some of the telegraph operators, whose truthfulness is unquestioned, that the companies have failed to allow the increase in wages which was granted and which was to take effect March 1. It is said instead of Increases in salaries, new men that are being employed have been compelled to accept wages upon a lower scale than those prevailing prior to March 1. In the meantime the telegraph com panies have raised the tariffs for the transmission of messages, from fifteen to twenty-five per cent. The operators claim that the alleged increase in wages was merely a subterfuge by the companies to raise the tariffs so exhorbitantly; that the extra income from this source will be used to defray the expenses of a strike by the operators. It is estimated that there are 200 operators employed in the two companies exclusive of brokerage houses and private corporations. Of this amount, it is said, ninety-five per cent, are members of the Commercial Teleg raphers' union. In New York there are about 5,000 of whom 4,000 are employed by the two mentioned companies, the union does not boast as large a membership as that of Chicago, yet estimates which are almost reliable, figure ninety per cent, of the employes are union operators. At a meeting here today it was decided to call a strike. But instead of a general one, tleing up the entire commercial world, one of the largest cities, either New York or Chicago, will be decided upon. .Deputy President Konenkamp of the Commercial Telegraphers' union, gave out the following statement today: "The general executive board of this union has approved a strike against either or both the Western Union and Postal companies. The matter is now in the hands of President Small. When and wiere the strike will be called first will not be given out at this time, but it will take place within the next week or ten days.

The mechanics employed are of the higher class and will doubtlessly use Hammond as their home city. FEAST IS STOLEN; GUESTSJISAPPOINTED Mrs. George Barden Finds Banquet Dainties Missing When Company Comes. "Well, what is the use?" sighed Mrs. George Barden of Gary, tearfully, yes terciay when sue round that alter ar ranging for a fish supper to be enjoy ed by all her neighbors in celebration of her skill with the rod and line, that just before the appointed time for the gathering, 6ome rude person had stolen not only the fish, but also every other edible article that was to go along with the banquet courses. Mrs Barden does not know whether to at tribute the act to some member of her own sex who was jealous of her suc cess as a piscatorial artist and of her social status which would be advanced by the dinner, or to some hungry in dividual. Mrs. Barden, with a number of her lady friends of their social set, spent a day fishing at Miller Station and the success with which she lured the finny tribe from their depths made her overjoyed. A five pound string of carp and other dainties adorned her basket on the return trip, and she was a justly proud woman. She was so proud that she decided to make her luck a social event, and so she invited all the neighbors to a choice fish supper to test the results of her day's work and also her excellent cooking. But pride goeth before a fall and great was the fall thereof according to Mrs. Barden's ideas as hostess. Mrs. Barden made a hasty trip to Chicago for some of the fixings for the dinner and on her return trip she went to the pantry, and well, it was enough to take the heart out of any woman ambitious in social circles to see the result of her work pass out of sight without the least recognition. So the guests are disappointed, but the chagrin of Mrs. Barden is deep rooted and lasting. "II. B." would like to arrange games with teams from 16 to 19 years of age.

SOUTH CHICAGO BRIDGE BULKS Structure at Ninety-Second Street Holds up Traffic for an Hour. Once more the old bridge over the Calumet river at Ninety-second Btreet, South Chicago, balked at Its duties this noon and for over an hour this Important thoroughfare was closed to traffic and business. The present structure, grown gray in service, is entirely inadequate lor the amount of business carried on at this important point and each day f.nd3 something amls3 with the working of the old machinery. Swung out in mid-channel to allow the passing of a boat, it refused to close again, and in the meantime the line of electric cars on each side increased until the street was blocked thereabouts. Teams loaded with merchandise for points on either siae ai6o became congested with numbers and hundreds of people on their way from shop to dinner were compelled to forego that pleasure and return back to work with a sandwich or pie cut hastily grabbed from the lunch counter and bar. The new bridge tender who took up his position yesterday after the ehakeup by the authorities, found that hit path of duty was not covered with rosea.
