VOLSGKO BOUND OVER TO SUPERIOR COURT Former Partner of W. Nowak Charged With Same Crime as Associate Is.

WILL BE TRIED 1(1 SEPTEMBER

Said To Have Sold land Belonging To John 0. Bowers. Defendant Accuses Firm Principal.

Andrew Volscko, one of the 'most prominent ot the foreign real estate dealers of the city, was yesterday bound over to the superior court under bonds of $1,000, on charges of obtaining money under false pretenses. The epecific charge against Volscko is that he sold three lots to a person. Rosa Gressy, for which a payment of $310 was made, and that the dealer was not the owner of the proper or the authorized agent. Trial In September. The warrant for the arrest of the real estate man was issued by Judge Townsley several days ago on this charge, but a change of venue was taken In the case to Judge Huber. At the trial the evidence in the case was deemed strong enough to bind him over to the superior court and he will be tried in the September term. The arrest of the man has caused quite a sensation about town, notwithstanding the fact that threats have been made against him for some time. The real estate deal in question is one which was consummated during the time that Volscko was In partnership with the present fugitive from Justice, Walter Nowak. The land sold to the prosecuting witness is owned by Referee in Bankruptcy John O. Bowers. It seems to be a question therefore, as to whether or not Volscko was

svcting as agent for this property at

the time of the sale. The three lots are valued at $1,600. Ill Side Plausible. Volscko's side of the case, however.

looks very plausible. He says that

while the company was doing business in the firm name of Nowak and Volscko

they made arrangements with Judge

Bowers to sell his property for cash.

Soon after the property was disposed of by Walter Nowak, who sold it on the instalment plan Instead. The payments for the property were tendered

to Mr. Bowers but he refused all of them because of the fact that they were

not sold for cash as specified. The trouble arises, therefore, from the fact that Nowak consummated the deal and signed the firm name of Nowak and Volscko, which implicates the latter. The bond of Judge Huber of $1,000 was supplied by Mr. Volscko, together with John Prascsehm.

POSTOFFIGEIS TO HOVE Gary Office Will Change to Broadway and Fifth Avenue at Once.

The announcement was made in Gary this morning that the postoffice, which has been occupying quarters in the Knotts building on Broadway, will be moved at once to the building at the southeast corner of Fifth avenue and Broadway. The present quarters are too small for the postoffice and it is desired to have the office near the corners of Fifth avenue and Broadway, which have been established as the center of the business district of Gary. The new location of the postoffice is thought to be an ideal one for the reason that there are entrances on both Fifth avenue and Broadway. The building has a frontage of twenty feet and eight inches and Fifth avenue and of fifteen feet on Broadway. It was learned this morning that the government is not bound by any lease with A. F. Knotts, the owner of the building where the office is now located, and so there is no obstacle in the way of moving at once. C. P. Grandfield, the First Assistant Postmaster General, wrote to Postmaster Call and informed him that he approved of the change in the location of the postoffice. S. B. Rathbone, of Indianapolis, the assistant superintendent of inspectors, will be in the city soon, to take charge of the moving of the office. The furnishings for the new office will have to be provided by the lesse of the building and will cost in the neighborhood of $2,500. There will be both lock and call boxes provided and the new fixtures will be as good as can be bought. The announcement of the change in the location of the postoffice will come as a surprise to a great many Gary people who did not know that a change of location was contemplated.

OPEN ST0RET0H0RR0W One of the Largest Department Stores in Northwestern Indiana is at Gary.

The Big store, one of the largest department stores in this section of the state, will open Saturday morning at their location on Broadway, between Sixth and seventh. The opening will be auspicious and the people will welcome this high class mercantile establishment to the city. The proprietor of the store is Morris Goodman, formerly of Oxford, Ind., who had the largest store In that city and, in fact, in that part of the state. Ready for Buttfneaa. The full stock, which has now been received, is being placed in the store and the windows are now practically trimmed and ready for the display. The stock is of the highest quality, and all brand new, as Mr. Goodman did not care to ship any of his surplus stock to Gary from Oxford. Ind. The store

covers 18,000 square feet of floor space

at the present time, and as the trade demands it the basement and the sec

ond story wil be used for stock. The department now handles everything in

a modern, up-to-date store except edi

bles, and these will be put in as the

trade grows.

Tomorow the store will be opened

up with fifteen clerks In the employ

of the store and there will probably be more hired from this time on. Souve

nirs will be given to the ladies tomor

row, consisting of silver sugar spoons, and the men will be remembered in a

fitting manner.

CELEBRATING FEAST

The, Jewish People Observe

Feast of Tischeba Ab Last Night. East Chicago, Ind., July 7. (Special.)

The Jewish people of East Chicago

are celebrating the feast of Flscheba

Ab which began last evening at 6

o'clock and will continue until the same hour this evening. The interpretation of the words are Flscheba Ninth and Ab what corresponds to our present

August.

This feast day is one of the saddest

the Jews celebrate, as it comemmorates

an epoch of the Judean reign when the

Jews were carried to all parts of the

Roman empire and its dependencies as

slaves -

It is a peculiar fact that notwith

standing the great number of years which have elapsed since those early oppressions were practiced on the Jew

ish race, this fast has been kept with

as much rigor as in the years immedi

ately following the occurrences. This

epoch in Jewish history was part of

the prophecy of the judges which fore

told the exile of the Jews to all parts of the world, but that the Messiah would eventually come and the people

be restored to their former glories.

Another religious duty which the feast

entails is the visit by the living to the

graves of their dead friends and rela

tives. In accordance with this latter

custom Mr. and Mrs. Julius Friedman Mr. and Mrs. Jake Friedman and Mrs

S. Rosenthal, made a pilgrimage to the Chicago cemetery where their dead Is burled, while others went to many

different places for the same purpose

HAH KILLED AT PLANT

Another man came to his death yesterday at the Illinois Steel company's

plant, making a total of eight men

killed since the first of the year. Yesterday's victim was John Brod

ichlsich, a structural iron worker. Brodichlsich was making repairs upon the top of one of the blast furnaces when he lost his footing and fell to

the ground, a distance of over ftfty feet. He was badly crushed and bruised. The injured man was taken to the Illinois Steel company's hospi

tal, where he died at 2:30. The body

was removed to his home, 1062 Ninety

third street, where the inquest will be

held this morning.

Brodichishlch is an old employe of the steel company and has a large

number of friends both among his fel low employes and the officials.

Sfoa Drownings In Region 20

Another name was added to the already long list of drownings in the

Calumet region this year when nine

year-old Willie Davis was found dead

yesterday afternoon in the Calumet

river, at the foot of Green Bay ave nue. The young boy left home shortly af

ter 11 o'clock, telling his mother he was going down to ther iver to meet

some boys and that he would go in

swimming before returnnlg home. The youngster's friends must have failed to show up, for he was found alone in the river, where it is supposed that

he was attacked with cramps and, un able to get assistance, drowned. The boy's body was found fioatin;

in the water by Captain Morrison o

the South Chicago life saving station

and was taken to his parents' home

9100 Green Bay avenue, where the in

quest will be held this afternoon.

BAKERY WAGON IS UPSET

Cz. Wojciechowiz and His Son Are

Both Rendered Unconscious. Boy Taken To Hospital.

A serious runaway occurred yester

day afternoon on Broadway when the bakery wagon belonging to C. "Wojciechowiz, Sixteenth and Washington

streets, swung off from Broadway at

the Pennsylvania tracks, throwing the

owner and his young son from the seat, rendering both of them unconscious. The young boy was taken to the Mercy hospital in Jones' ambulance, suffering from a strained tendon in his left leg and minor internal injuries.

Tuk W um I.ooneued. The horses became frightened

through the loosening of a tug, which hit against their hind legs as they ran. They dashed down Broadway at a furious rate until they reached the tracks, when they swerved off to the left and down a side street. The sudden turn threw the occupants to the ground to

gether with the seat, which fell upon

them. Both were knocked temporarily

unconscious. The father laid in the

dirt as if he had been shot and the spectators who rushed to the scene thought that he had been killed. In about three minutes, however, he revived and walked about. He also suf

fered several bruises about the head

which bled profusely. The boy re

covered but seemed to suffer consider

able pain in his left leg, which had been most severely wrenched.

Both the police and the ambulance

were summoned at once. In the mean

time the horses were captured, but a short -distance away and were returned to the barn.

COLUMBUS STANDS PUT

John Hanberg is Obdurate

Against Pleas of K. C's.

The Chicago Knights of Columbus

failed yesterday in their mission to

Commissioner of Public Works John Hanberg to obtain the return of the

Drake fountain with its statue of Columbus from South Chicago to the loop

district. The fountain is now being erected in the triangle at Ninety-sec

ond street and Exchange avenue and is expected to be completed within the

next five or six days.

The Drake fountain was secured for

South Chicago through the efforts of Commissioner of Public Works John Hanberg and Alderman P. H. Moj'nlhan, both of South Chicago.

No sooner had the two men secured

the fountain that a holler was put up by the two sons of John Drake who insisted that the fountain be placed in front of the art institute. Their plans

were turned down by the council. Later

the Knights of Columbus took the matter before the commissioner of public

works and he too refused to help get its return, and Christopher Columbus stated that he would never leave South Chicago.

Read this: Mrs. William Newton, of 240 Plummer avenue, Hammond, Ind., says: "My daughter, who is twelve years of age, was troubled for several years with weak kidneys and I wish to tell how grateful we are to Doan's Kidney Pills for the relief they, brought. She had but little appetite, and from a healthy, happy child, became weak and puny in a short time, due to the suffering caused by this disease. After the first box of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Bicknell St Co's. drug store were taken we noticed that she was much brighter and atronger and we continued giving them to her until the disagreeable symptoms of this disease had entirely disappeared.
