There were threats of shooting and excitement in general at the White House on Sheffield avenue yesterday afternoon when Bill Leaden, who gave his name to the police as Joseph Graham, became involved with some men who said he was a "scab" and tried to do him bodily injury. It is said Leaden was in an automobile in front of the White House when ho became involved In an altercation with the crowd of men. They closed in on hhn and assaulted him until Leaden finally fled and ran across the fields to escape his pursuers. In some manner he got back to the machine and drove to South Chicago where lie procured a revolver and came back to clean up the bunch. He was unable to find any of them however, and an officer, who was near, persuaded him to put the gun away and behave himself.

It is said that the first fight the

man was badly beaten up and that he was taken into the White House where Dr. Sharrer of Hammond was called

and his injuries were dressed.

Later on It is said, he started in his

machine for Hessville and the oificer on duty said he saw him safely return

later on. The fight caused consider

able excitement at the White House and for a time it looked as though

tho Infuriated man might see his

smoke wagon" as he called his re

volver before he got through with the crowd that had formerly dealt with hira so roughly.

Adam Tanoszan, 432 North Hohman

street, saloonkeeper, has grown tired

or single me ana now is seeking a

helpmate through the medium of Tub

Lake Counti Times. The man ought

to have no difficulty in securing a wife as the only restrictions which he puts

to his choice is that she must possess

a little money and be able to do house

work. As for looks, etc., it is lmma

teriai- to mm wnetner she is rat or

slim, a blond or brunette, Irish or Ger

mand and any age between twenty-five

and forty will do. The saloon business

in which he would want his wife to Invest, is booming and all that he needs

Is a little more money to boost It along

If any fair damsel is looking for the

enjoyment of a nice quiet home, she

would do well to take the saloonkeeper

up on the proposition.

CONDUCTOR TELLS

OF LIMITED WRECK

When Emergency Brakes

Were Applied Schultz was Hurled Off Train.

Conductor Charles Schultz of Elk

hart, formerly of LaPorte, who was the

most seriously injured of the people aboard the wrecked Twentieth Century limited, said he was standing- in the

buffet when Lis first intimation of

trouble was the grating of the emergency brakes, which .had been applied. He opened the door, and, stepping onto the vestibule platform, opened the outer door and stood on the step when

the crash occurred, hurling him through the air, and he landed on a tie. When he regained consciousness his first thought was of the injured passengers and his crew. This is Mr. Sehultz's

fourth experience in a wreck. It was just beyond a curve. "We passed

through LaPorte ten minutes late, and

when the engineer sighted the obstruc

tion the train was running fully TO

miles an hour." When he began his search around tho baggage car Mr. Sehultz's thought was to find Baggage

man Smith under the wreckage, and then passed to the engine to look for Englneman Downey.

When the news of the wreck was

flashed to Elkhart, together with the call for the wrecking crew, the crew and its derrick were at an Old Road station repairing a derailed car, says

the Elkhart Review. Orders were

quickly telegraphed to put all trains of

whatever description in the clear so that the wrecker might have an un

obstructed right of way for a record

breaking trip; but after the message came that the wrecker would have to stop at White Pigeon for water and would therefore not reach Elkhart be

fore 9:25, passenger trains No. 17 and

No. 15, which were to be held at Elk

hart were allowed to proceed to La

Porte, there to await the passing of the wrecker. The special hauling the wrecker pulled In about 9:30, and at Tenth street found a fresh engine and crew ready to continue the trip. This

fresh engine was the 5753, manned by

Englneman William Bigler and Fireman Bardon.

Judges on Trial. Most reople would be surprised to know that la the supreme court in Scotland the court of sessions in Edinburgh before a new judge takes hia Beat on the bench he has to undergo trial by his new colleagues as to crown has noailaated him.

A weird story comes from the vicinity of Black Oak to the effect that a a lone man in an autornobife was held up by eight men ani had his PopeToledo taken from him. It is said that the man was found in an unconscious condition beside the road by s-ome man who was on his way

from Michigan to the weat in a prairie schooner. The man, whose name Is unknown, said that because he was In a big hurry to make his trip, he had notified a farmer alons the road, and together they worked over the fellow until they brought trim back to con

sciousness, and then he was taken to

Hammond.

The story told was to the effect that

while the Injured man was driving his

machine along the road between Hess

ville and Black Oak, he was stopped by eight men who commanded him to leave the machine and turn It over to

them.

He said he obeyed and that as soon a9 he got out of the machine the men

set upon him and beat him unmerciful

ly. They then took his machine and he lost consciousness until he was

revived by those who found him later

on.

It is said he was badly bruised and was taken to Hammond, where his wounds were dressed Dy a local physi

cian. It has been impossible to con

firm the story here In Hammond, and it seems peculiar that the police here have not been notified to make an ef

fort to recover the machine.

Mr. Scheidt of Black Oak. to whom

the man In the prairie schooner told his story, is convinced that the man was not telling a falsehood and cannot

understand what motive a man travel ing across the country with his fain lly would have for manufacturing t story of this kind. The whole matter seems to be i mystery and may possibly be explain

ed by the fact that the man was drunk

and did not know what he was saying Even this explanation is scouted by Mr

Scheidt, who is convinced that the

automobilist was held up.
