CARRIAGE 10 STREET GAR IN COLLISION

Occupants of Vehicle Are Spilled Out No One Badly Hurt. While driving in a two-seated carryall on Sheffield avenue, last evening, two West Hammond men, accompanied by two women, were thrown from the vehicle and all were well shaken up and bruised, when an electric car collided with the carriage. The car was No. "33 on the ChicagoHammond line. The men gave the names of Kolvewskl and KowalskI, and stated that they lived in West Hammond, but they refused to tell the names of their companions. The car was going along at a rapid speed when the driver turned the horse onto the tracks and the car did the rest. The carriage, which was hired from Whittaker's stable, was overturned and the occupants spilled along the road, but luckily they were thrown far enough to clear the wreckage. The men and women were lifted from variou3 positions and examined with a view to permanent injuries, but all declared that outside of bruises and slight scratches they were in fair shape. The carriage, however, was demolished. They boarded the next car and proceeded home after their interrupted pleasure trip. GRIFFITH FORCES ROAD TOTOE IRK Officials of the C. C. & L. Promise to Carry Out Their Contract. Griffith, Ind.. Aug. 14. The C. C. & L. people have, evidently turned over a new leaf. To all apearances they are not only willing but anxious to live up to the very- letter of the franchise which the people of Griffith gladly gave them, fully believing that they would get the improvements and accommodations agreed upon. Failing to get even the most important of these and their communications being totally ignored, the town council lost all patience and started in for business. The town attorney was instructed to give them just one more chance and state what would happen if they failed to fulfill their agreement at once. A reply came in short order. The town attorney informed the city fathers today that he has a letter from the vice president himself and the general council of the road saying that they will put on the commutation tickets at once and also look after the drainage. Other maters will be considered as soon as possible. It now remains to be seen if this promise coming from some of the highest officials of the company, will be sufficient or whether it is merely a scheme to keep the town waiting as heretofore. orate wedding supper will be served. The home will be decorated with flowers of the bride's colors, pink and white. The young people will leave tonight for a western trip after which thev will be at home to their friends at 1S:1 State street. The bride is a popular Hammond young lady having lived here many years and won many friends all of whom wish her the very happiest future. Mr. Claussen came to Hammond from Valparaiso and holds a position in the clothing department of the Lion Store. Both young people are extended the congratulations of many friends. KRITZ KRACH DIES. Fritz Krach, aged 7 5 years, died yesterday afternoon at his home, 74 One Hundred and Forty-seventh street on the north side. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at the house, after which the burial will take place at Oak Hill cemetery.

n BY RUTAL I Butcher's Delivery Man Attacks Indiana Harbor Woman. BRIDE 0FA MONTH Neighbors Finally Rescue Victim After a Fierce Tussle Husband Threatens Vengeance. (Special to I.nke t'onnty Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Aug. 14. The people of this city are incensed over the case of assault which was committed on Mrs. Mary Jaehovski by John Stravooh, a butcher's clerk, employed in Hudacho's grocery store in this city. The victim of the assault was a young woman who had been married but a month, and it is said that Jaehovski is outranged at' the action of his wife's assailant and threatens violence if lie ever gets hold of him. The assault occurred in the morning at about 10 o'clock. Mrs. Jaehovski was lying on the bed asleep. She had been ill during the day and had dropped off to sleep when Stravoch came to deliver an order of meat. The young man walked into the room and seeing the woman attacked her at once. A tussle followed. Mrs. Jaehovski screamed and neighbors finally rushed in and protected her from further attacks. Mrs. Jachovskl's husband Is employed in the mills and took his dinner with him. All day long she cried because of the unfortunate incident and in the evening when her husband came home she told what had happened to her. Together they went to Attorney F. A. Parks and sought his advice as to their course of action. lie advised her to swear out a warrant charging assault with intent to commit a felony, and the young man was arrested and is having his preliminary hearing before Judge Jones this afternoon in Judge. Keiland's court. 'ID NOW HE'S BUSTED QUITE" Gibson Employe Flashes Long Green; Negro Grabs it and Flees. A vulgar display of wealth before an admiring circle of men at Gibson, shortly before 2:30 a. m. today was the cause of the loss of the lucre to Sidney Chambers of that section. His hard earned faded in a minute and the last seen of it b the rightful owner was when it was being rapidly conveyed down the railroad tracks In the hands of a big burly negro who took a sudden fancy to it. Chambers in a few short seconds learned the truth of the adage that pride goeth before a fall. He was proud indeed of the roll of $33 in bills and the endorsed check for $24 which he had stowed away in his jeans, and the desire of having his friends and neighbors rejoice with him caused his downfall. In the wee sma' hours he drew it out of his pocket and made an exhibition of the pretty bills and check to an admiring throng who circled around him, in the dim light of the rays from a kerosene lamp. He thought every one in the circle were friends, but he did not figure on the rough character of the men attracted to these wild railroad camps in the Calumet region. There's Always Somebody to Do It. On the outskirts stood an unknown negro who was beating the ties along that section, bound due east. When he saw the roll his cye3 grew as big as saucers and he fidgeted and edged nearer and nearer the long green. Finally lie could stand the strain no longer, and, reaching over, with one fell swoop of his crap mitt, he swiped the dough clean of the owner's hand. In a second he was hot footing it down the railroad track with a bunch of outraged railroad men at his heels, but he was too good a sprinter for them and lie was soon lost in the darkness. There was nothing left for Chambers to do but walk back diseonsolately with the rest of the bunch. He then telephoned to the police at Hammond and they are now looking for the d'nge. He is described as being about 5 feet 11 inches in height, weighing 175 pounds, wore a corduroy suit and a black hat. The check was for $24, drawn by the C. I. & S. railroad, payable to John Eley and endorsed. Chambers is employed at the roundhouse at Gibson. FACES SERIOUS CHAEGE, John Schmidt of Chicago faces a very serious charge brought against him by John Hull of Griffith for which offense, if he is found guilty, he will be fined $500. The charge is that of transporting diseased hogs with a knowledge that they were diseased. The hogs were shipped to Hull at Griffith where he intended to kill them for meat. This is a violation of the pure food law and punishable by a heavy fine-. The case was brought up in Judge Prest's court yesterday afternoon but was continued until next Tuesday, when it will be tried before Judge Seidler of Dyer. Attorney Ridgiey of Gary is the attorney for the defendant while W. J. McAleer is ar.r.Hrar for the state.

BUCK OAK'S SERIES OF AGGIDEHTS Two Children Drink Poison, and Break in Buggy Spills Three. Black Oak, Ind., Aug. 14. Special There have been a series of accidents here during the past few days and tho latest was that of the little live-year-old son of T. H. Schoon, who got hold of a bottle of ammonia while his mother was sick and drank a portion o? 'it. It is said the mouth and stomach of the little fellow was badly burned and he is in a precarious condition. Dr. Iddings was called and thinks he can pull the little fellow through. It was only a few days ago that the life of little Emery Ixihman was endangered by the drinking of a quantity of ily poison. The child was made deathly sick and it was only due to the prompt arrival of the physician that his life was saved. Yesterday Jake Schoon and his wife had an accident while they were driving in the direction of the Highlands bridge. The bur came off the front wheel of their buggy and Mr. Schoon. his wife and the little baby she was holding were thrown out. Mrs. Schoon sustained a dislocated hip and one side of the baby's face was badly scratched but otherwise the child was uninjured. Mr. Schoon escaped without injuries. us Vienna of OPIUM HABIT Inquest Discloses Fact That Nathan Corwin Was Slave to Drugs. The coroner's inquest held yesterday over the body of Nathan Corwin. who was found dead in bed at his home, 1 46Russell street yesterday morning, developed the fact that Corwin was addicted to the use of drugs. Coroner Hoskins rendered a verdict of death caused by an overdose of crude opium. Corwin left hi3 work Monday afternoon at 6 o'clock but as it grew late and he did not appear at his home as was his custom, his daughter, Lotta became worried. She started out in search of him and after she had walked a short distance, she encountered him. He was apparently half dazed but with his daughter's aid he managed to reach his home. After he had eaten his supper, lie seemed better and attributing his apparently- slight indisposition to the heat, the young woman thought no further about the matter. Corwin had, however, been sickly for some time and it is now believed that his condition was the result of the drug to winch it is now declared lie must have bean a slave. His friends, however, never suspected tho habit. The night before his death Corwin retired, seemingly in good health, but when his daughter went to call him in the morning, she was nearly overcome when she found her lather dead, he having expired during the night. Funeral services were held this afternoon at the late home, 146 Russell street, after which the burial took place at Oak Hill cemetery. The dead man, who was a widower, leaves only one child, Miss Dotta Corwin. DEGENERATE IMPROVING. Hungarian Mho AVas Shot IVhen lie Forced IIIh Wny Into Mrs. Lee'u Tent, I Iletter. S. D. Earscho, the Hungarian who was shot yesterday by Mrs. II. A. Lee when he tried to force his way into her tent at the Standard settlement, is Mnproving at the hospital and will be able to leave that institution by tomorrow. When taken there yesterday afternoon it was found that the Hungarian had been shot twice by Mrs. Lee instead of once. Both bullets were extracted without any trouble and the wounds dressed. Immediately after the shooting Mrs. Lee, accompanied by a neighbor woman, left the scene. When just about to cross the road Mrs. Lee fell in a dead faint, but was soon revived. Friends took the woman to the home of one of them, where she is eing cared for. Those who are acquainted with the circumstances say that Mrs. Lee was justified in the shooting and if other women near the car shops would follow suit there would be less assaults.
