Sidney Veaco of Indiana Harbor Does Gallant Deed While on His Vacation. East Chicago, Aug. 4. (Special) Kirinev H. Veaco. the drug man, of

East Chicago, who has been spending a week at Rome City, Ind., has returned with laurels to his brow. But the brand new suit of clothes in which he departed are no more in evidence and Mr. Veaco is putting up temporary with a pair of misfit glasses for his own went in exchange for the laurels along with his glad rags. Mr. Veaco, among other lMngs during his week's holdiday, atVnded the Wauseon Sunday school picnic. While there a boy, the son of Mrs. L. A. Bowman of Waterloo, who was also present at the picnic, fell into the water. Mr. Veaco plunged in, new clothes. glasses and all and dragged the lad out of the water. A Man of Interest Then. From the moment of the rescue, Mr. Veaco became the object of extraordinary Interest in the Waterloo vil lage, where he and his wife, together with half a dozen other families of Sturges, Mich., which is Mrs. Veaco's old home. Groups of small boys followed him wherever he went with whispered comments of "There's the man who saved Sammy." This thing finally became absolutely embarrassing to Mr. Veaco, whose modesty is one of his main characteristics, and his friends declare it was a factor in cutting short his holiday. Here is what the Kendallville Dally Sun had to say of the occurrence: "The Wauseon Sunday school picnic at Rome City Wednesday, will probably be remembered for years to come by Mrs. L. A. Bowman, of Waterloo. "Her son. a lad of probably 10 years of age, waa in bathing in the lake Just in front of the Triplett house and had walked up on the spring board, when suddently he fell into the water. He could not swim and had gone down for the third time when Sidney H. Veaco. a druggist of East Chicago, Ind., who was looking on, plunged in and after some moments was able to locate the child and bring him to shore. The child was in a semi-conscious state, but was soon revived." RETURN FROM A DELIGHTFUL OUTING. Indiana Harbor Crowd Enjoy Trip on the Great Lake for Two Weeks. Indiana Harbor, Aug. 3.

During their few days stay here they took a boat ride to I,es Chineaux re turning the same day. That night they left Mackinao by boat and went to Sault State. Marie where the party remained a few days vlsitinfg the numerous lakes and locks in the neighborhood. Their next visit was to Thessllo on the Canadian side and from there to various inland lakes where they did some successful fishing for the next few days. After tiring of fishing they were the guests of the julge's parents Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hembroff until their return home. Mr. and Mrs. W. J.

Internrban Railroad Will Inaugurate a Fifteen Minntrs Schedule Next Saturday. The officials of the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend Interurban line announce that beginning with Saturday a fifteen minute service will be established between Gary and Hammond. The fare will be 10 cents each way, which is considerably lower than the' fare charged by the railroads. In two weeks the company expects to have trains running from Chicago to South Bend and the service will lm- ! prove after that as fast as the company can get the road into perfect working order. There will be three kinds of trains operated on the new road. There will be limited trains, through trains which will take on passengers at all sta-

torn, with blankets saturated with chemicals and water. By a fine effort all of the fixtures of the saloon and the furnishings of the boarding house were saved. There

was not a thing burned that could possibly be removed from the building. There was so much time, in fact, be fore the whole building was enveloped in flames that the Are fighters had plenty of time in which to knock out the caBing in the front store windows and rescue all of the plate glass windows, valued at close to $100. Flrea Bottom of House. After this was done Chief Martin fired the bottom of the house on the left hand side, and soon that portion of the building was gutted, and withing a half hour the whole structure piled over on its side, thereby saving the houses nearby. The insurance on some of the houses in the south end is being pulled off at the present time and it is not known how far this will extend. The local agents do not know whether or not it will all be ordered off or whether just the most dangerous ones will be singled out. Action will probably be taken this week. In the Are yesterday afternoon there were two more families made homeless and thirteen boarders were turned out of the hotel. One of the families residing ia the building was Stanley Zepkowski, who only yesterday had his building, across the street, destroyed, and that night had secured rooms in the hotel for himself and family.
