WILL THEY MAKE IT A . GO? SO CHICAGO WONDERS. Suspicion C ircnrnsances Iad Friends of Yoong People to Anticipate . . a WeddJag. What may eventually develop into a realistic episode occurred las evening when Harry Brabbs and Miss Irene Beatrice Hughes, 170 Ninety-first street, attended' the play at the LaSalle theater under the title of "Honeymoon Trail." Their closest friends predict that it will not be many months until it will b to New York for theirs. This Is further proven by the fact that the Hughes home these springtime days is the daily scene of much activity, and together with the dally visits of dressmakers and . various deliveries of numerous packages leads the most-skeptic to believe that there is much truth in the reports. Miss Hughes is one of South Chicago's popular young ladies and is well known for her charming manners and Is well liked and endeared to her hosts of friends. In the , meantime. South Chicago will sit up and wait for future returns.

VICTORY FOR GARY AND INTERURBAN. ( Continued from page 1). and that It tras in all respects a common carrier and that as such, the two roads were equal and therefore the steam road was entitled to an lnderaaifl cation. Counter Petition Filed. The Pennsylvania company had, however, taken the first step to secure a restraining order, but unknown to Judge Zollars, Gavlt filed a counter petition. Gavit In petitioning for the restraining order based his arguments largely on the recent decision of the appellate court in the matter of the Michigan Central railroad company against the Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago Railway company, the decision granting the Hammond, "Whiting and East Chicago Railway company the right to cross the Michigan Central railroad on Calumet avenue. The Pennsylvania Railroad company submitted an amended petition suggesting that the company would contribute $25,000 toward a fund for the building of an overhead viaduct, raising the street car tracks fourteen feet above the steam road tracks, which, however, was overruled and Judge Reiter granted the restraining order to the Gary & Interurban Railway company. The Gary and Interurban still persists In the declaration that they will be able to have their line completed at the time specified In the franchise, May 1 in spite of the fact that there are but nine more working days In which to accomplish the completion of the work. Mayor Darrow stated this morning that there was but one thing that could prevent this and that was the possible InabUity of the company to get their track laid across the railroads which intersect Broadway. Judge Reiter's restraining order removes this obstacle. It had been proposed to have the interurban cross the railroad by means of a viaduct but this plan did not meet with favor by the town board. They did not feel that the city should be made to stand half of the expense in depressing the street and elevating the tracks of the railroad to a sufficient height. 1 As far as the construction work on the line is concerned there seems to be no question but' what the company could have It in operation by May 1, Three-fourths of the track is laid, three-fourths of the trolley wire Is strung, all of the poles are erected and in readiness to use. The power house Is also ready for use. Steam has been turned into the boilers and the machinery Is In place ready for the making of the electricity. Electricity could be turned into the wires at once if they were ready to begin operations. With the junketing trip to Danville and the Inspection of the cars to be used in Gary, much of the rebellious outburst against the railroad has cooled down. The business men of Gary are fair and if they are given substantial proof that the company means to do right and be sincere In their promises they will find no further opposition, the citizens of the town are still bitterabout the quality of the rails however, and the manner in which they are laid and the sentiment against the company will never be changed until the people are given some satisfaction along that line.

EH Domshe, a saloonkeeper In Indiana Harbor, who combined a modest "banking" business with his liquor traffic, has gone the way of many another banker of greater claim to trustworthiness than he ever possessed. On Thursday he skipped out. leaving his "depositors" to whistle for their money which amounted to something between J700 and $750, according to the allegations of his dupes. Domshe ran a saloon at One Hundred and Thirty-seventh street and Beech. He apparently was doing a fairly good business at this stand. At any rate he had the confidence of his customers who from time to time would entrust their savings into his hands or leave their checks for him to have cashed. These trustful souls were for the most part countrymen of Domshe's who had lived in the same town with him in the old world. The sums left by these, however, were for the most part small. But one of his brothers had entrusted $260 and another $100 to him for safekeeping and an old man named John Campion had given him $50 with which to purchase his transportation back to the fatherland. Anxiously Await w. All of these and many other smaller creditors are eagerly awaiting news of Domshe's whereabouts. There was one, however, whom the saloonkeeper did not "put it over." This was Abe Goldman, a wholesale liquor dealer of Whiting, of whom he bought stock. While the rest of the parties to whom Domshe owes money are gnashing their teeth, Goldsmith is chuckling in his sleeve. Domshe owed Goldsmith a bill of $87.75 on goods he had purchased. The debt was secured by five notes of equal amounts. One of these fell due on Thursday, the day on which Romshe took French leave. Goldsmith met Domshe on the street and asked him to settle. Domshe stalled a bit, telling him to call at the saloon for his money a little later. Goldsmith, however, refused to be put off and thinks now he was governed by a case of well-developed mentalt telepathy. For something told him he would better collect his money instanter. Seeing there was nothing for it, Domshe dug up. That same afternoon Domshe met Goldsmith on a street car going between Indiana Harbor and East Chicago. Looking for "Location." "Where are you going?" inquired Goldsmith with friendly interest. "I'm going to East Chicago to hunt up a good location for a saloon," was the response. "What's the matter with your present location?" "Don't make enough money," was the somewhat short reply. "You'd better go and take the old place on the balance of those notes." This was the last seen of Domshe. Goldsmith lost no time in taking possession of the saloon as per Domshe's suggestion. The $17.75 paid that same morning was just velvet as the saloon in any event was worth more tbn all five notes. " . It Is believed Domshe has gone to

FARMERS ARE DUPED by HnyoHin E. M. Grey of Toleston Turns Trick on Lake County Farmers.

LEFT TRAIL OF DEBTS BEHIND Town Marshal In Hunt for Missing Merchant Who May Have Absconded. After leaving his horses, a wntrnn some chickens, a dog and some other things In his Toleston home so that the neighbors woaild not tret the irio.i that he had fled from the city, E. M. Grey, a produce merchant, absconded leaving a trail of debts and failing to pay for a carload of eggs which he had purchased from the farmers. It is estimated that his speculations and debts will amount to between $2,500 and $3,000 and FranJt Martin th town marshall of Toleston, is already taKing steps to locate the fugitive. Grey has been in Toleston for n period of a year and a half. He has made it his business to buy farm produce of all kinds and sell it to commission merchants In various parts of the country. Only recently he told the farmers In the vicinity of Toleston that he was about to ship a carload of eerors to -Rnf. falo and he asked them to sell him all of the eggs they could so that he could make up the car. They were not paid for the eggs but were promised their money as soon as the draft was received from New York. The farmers took his word for It and the car was finally loaded and sent to Buffalo. That draft was expected every day and the farmers were looking forward to the early receipt of the mojney which was due them. Today it was discovered that Mrs. Grey has taken a trunk to the depot last Wednesday. This lead to an Investigation and it was discovered thai the lew live animals which were left on the place were the only things of value there. These had evidently been left for the purpose of making it appear that the Greys were still residents of Toleston while In reality they had fled to a distant part of the country. It is believed that the farmers will lost all they have coming from Grey and the only hope the town marshal has, is that of bringing the fugitive to Justice. Attorneyn Ballard and Stanton of Gary have taken an Interest in the case as they have several clients who are losers to the extent of several hundred by the defalcations of Grey. some town in Illinois with his illgotten gains. In the meantime,, his victims are vowing vengeance if they ever catch sight of Domshe. ALDERMEN HOLD flAQM eceoinn ULUUIUII Automatic Franchise Fails Come up However at East Chicago. The city council held rather a warm session at East Chicago last pight. Some of the measures that were expeeted to come up, failed to do so, but other unexpected ones materialized, much to the surprise of the gallery. The telephone franchise that was to have been read for the third time, according to schedule, did not come up, as it had been decided amoug the aldermen and Mayor DeBraie before the meeting that it would be well to give the Chicago company a little more time to complete the arrangements for presenting something more tangible than mere promises of what they will do, provided they are left in sole possession of the field. It Is believed that by the next regular meeting they will have prepared a contract binding them to whateved improvements they propose to made to their service and equipment. The thing that caused considerable discussion was the awarding an extra $360 for a change in the sewer connecting the city hall with the main sewer. The specifications call for a lateral leading into the main In Forsyth. The change calls for connection with the Olcott avenue sewer. A. H. W. Johnson, who is building the city hall, gets the job and the $360. The question of the vacation of the two "omitted blocks" on Commonwealth avenue, was laid over. The work on the brick pavement In Elm street, between Guthrie and One Hundred and Thirty-seventh streets, done by the Kane Construction company, was accepted and the sum of $15,558 ordered paid. The work on the sewer on One Hundred and Fifteenth street from Olcott to White avenue, F. P. McVay. contractor, was also accepted. Price $2,603.31. FORMER INDIANA HARBOR MAN TAKES A WIFE.
