STREET GARS AT A STANDSTILL

Would-be Passengers Cuss the Company and 'Wait Until Another Day. Street car traffic was tied up this morning on account of the power being off, and angry crowds of would-be passengers were waiting on the different corners "cursing" the street car company and the whole world In general. The power went off about 3:40 this morning and there is no prospect of its being on again until noon. The street car barns were called up and they said the trouble was caused by the dynamos being out of order. Not only are the Hammond-Sixty-third street cars not running, but the East Chicago line is also out of business. Early this morning one of the Sixtythird street cars came straggling into the city and the conductor is authority for saying it took him over an hour and a half to make the run. SOLO TOYJSDN TO DOY Arrested at Highlands, His Trial is Being Held at Griffith Is Interesting. Griffith, Ind., Aug. 13. Judge Liable's court was busy today with a case of the State against Peter P. Kooy, charged with selling a toy pistol and wafers or caps to Bennie Moss. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Bremer and Truant Officer T. J. Muzzall of Crown Point appeared for the State, while Attorney Meyers, of Hammond, conducted the defense. Bennie bought a small pistol at the Highlands store just before the Fourth of July for the purpose of celebrating that day. To all appearances, It looked like a real gun, and after the Fourth was long passed, he enjoyed flashing It before people at such frequent intervals that Marshal Harkenrider's attention was called to it and he relieved Bennie of what appeared a dangerous weapon. This was the beginning of Mr. Kooy's trouble. Truant officer Muzzall took Bennie's case in hand and after disposing of it, proceeded against the Highland storekeeper who had sold the gun. The case came before Judge Liable today and Loyd Prince and Harry Jansen, both about twelve years of age, were put on the stand and testified that they were present at the time Bennie made the purchase. Truant Officer Muzzall and Marshal Harkenrider took the stand and both Identified the gun which was produced in evidence. Attorney Meyers based his defense on the fact that Mr. Kooy was not in the store when the gun was sold, there fore could not be guilty of the charge as made in the affidavit. Also that the gun was not a toy pistol as charged by the complainant, but could be used to fire cartridges and that being the case, the toy pistol charge would not cover the case. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Bremer in his plea said inasmuch as Mr. Kooy was owner of the store and had exposed for sale such pistols and explosives as had been proven were bought there, he was clearly guilty of the charge no matter in what manner the ex plosives were made. The judge dismissed court for din ner and when it convened again he announced his intention of postponing his decision until he could get a clearer understanding if the law on the case H! decision will be rendered at 3:30 Saturday afternoon.

Arnold Beam, a fireman In the C, I-u S. & E. railroad yards, 23 years old, was drowned yesterday afternoon, presumably about 2 o'clock in Lake Michigan off the Calumet river pier near the foot of Ninety-first street. How the young man met his death can only be surmised, as nobody was with him when he disappeared. Shortly after noon Beam told his engineer, Charles Bonton, that he would go for a swim as he happened to have a little spare time. Bonton stayed near his engine waiting for Beam to return, and as the latter failed to show up he telephoned the yard master telling him that it might be advisable to look around the water. The clothes were found on the pier and Mr. Bonton knowing that under ordinary circum stances Beam would not havo remained in' the water for such a length of time. began to fear the worst. The life saving station was notified, and about 4 o'clock the body was brought to the surface, through the efforts of John Hansen, E. G. Morrison and Martin Anderson. The remains were removed to Mrs Murphy's morgue where the inquest was held at 10 o'clock. Beam lived at 9020 Houston avenue.

4 rollicking clowns; in fact a continuous stream of picturesque beauty and grandeur is what the Hagenbeck & Wallace parade is made up of. A feature of the procession is in the fact that horses shown are, without exception, remarkably fine. Even those drawing the cages are well groomed and of good blood, in fact, are dapple grays. "With the racers tho llneaa la undisputable. Slim ankles, delicate nostrils, muscular shoulders and long fetlocks, all attest to their birth and good breeding. Especially beautiful are the steeds attached to the Roman chariots in line. Scores of Shetland ponies complete the list of horses, and Justify the Hagenbeck & Wallace claims of keeping the finest stable on the road.
