Dan Ryan, captured by the Gary po nce on a cnarge or. arson, who was yesterday bound over to the superior : court on this charge, broke jail a half hour after the decision had been rend ered and is now at liberty. A hun dred citizens or toleston, taking up the chase with the police, scoured the woods southwest of Toleston all through the drenching rain and thun derstorm yesterday afternoon in an ef fort to locate the fugitive from Justice. At one time the party was but a few hundred feet behind the firebug, but the latter succeeded In escaping because of the dense woods and thick underbrush in that vicinity. Europe from Jail. The delivery from the Jail was made by the breaking of a rusty lock on j the jail door, after Marshal Frank Martin had left him to go to dinner.

The Gary police were notified at once and headed by Chief Joseph Martin, the brother of the Toleston marshal, assisted In the man hunt. The downpour which had just started helped them in tracking Ryan for a considerable distance through the sand, but us soon as ityan iouna mat be was being closely followed, took care to cover up his track and made good his escape. The man Is coatless and hatless, and as the police of the surrounding cities have been notified, it Is thought that he will be landed within twenty-four hours. Trial Yesterday Morning, lesterday morning the preliminary hearing had come up before Judge Townsley, and sufficient evidence that he had set fire to the outhouse of Henry Stanley was introduced to bind him over to the superior court. Realizing that he was a bad character, arrangements had been made by Marshal aMrtin to take him to the county Jail immediately after dinner. An automobile from the GaryToleston Garage com pany was preparing to leave when the word was received that the bird had flown. Made Several Attempts. Ryan first gave evidence of being a bad character when he was being taken from Gary to Toleston. He made several desperate breaks to get away from the officers and it required three of them to hold him until he could be shackled hand and foot.

Is a Liquor Find. Ryan is known to the police as a liquor fiend, and usually carries a bottle of pure alcohol on his person. The theory prevalent, therefore, is that while in a state of intoxication he has been responsible for several of the disastrous fires that have occurred in the south end of Gary. The drink habit may also lead to his arrest, as it is now a physical impossibility for the man to go many hours without liquor. The police believe that he can be picken up in some saloon in the without difficulty. region Little Koovrm of Rynn's Past. Little is known of Ryan'? past, aside from the fact that he has been employed here for several weeks with a contracting firm. He has been a continual source of trouble for the police, largely through bis drunkenuness. He is known to have several aliases, and is reported to have a bad record. The story he told the police upon capture was that he had set fire to the Stanley building through smoking a cigarette and that a man who was with him he refuses to divulge the name had sense enough to make a getaway and he didn't, althought he thought he might be suspected.

"Shlp-V recked In the Sewer Sewer, or How Soaked" Is the me uity Officials Got ready for publication, written by Miliara A. Cad well, town trustee: A. P. Melton, city engineer; and A. C. Cross, the local photographer. The new song is a wonderful blend of comedy and, patnos, and the substance , of which no one could conceive, without having himself experienced the terrible sensa tion, which together with a fund of humor, and a full appreciation of a good joke resulted in the marvelous creation. i siry is aatea way back in Aug. 12, 1908, when several of the city officials of a new town, which naa Deen iounaed but a short time, to gether with a photographer, and several newspaper men, started to explore the depths of a sewer in a rowboat. Like the hero Columbus their craft was rude and unfit for the heavy squalls to be encountered on such a large body of water. Not long after they had been swallowed In the mouth of the sewer, however, they found that their flagship had started to leak badly. Hurriedly the signal of distress was run up on to the top mast, but the heroic efforts of Captain Schefflow of the sewer boat "Muckraker" were unavail ing. Photographer's Mania Dear. As soon as possible the boats nearest to the distressed ship secured extra pumps by a desperate climb through one of the manholes, but before they could be gotten to the ship, which was now leaking badly, the photographer, who has a mania for what is known 48 "postal-carditis" attempted to shoot tne insides of the sewer when the wa GOME BACK If ALARM UUli A Misunderstanding Causes Indiana Harbor Family to Hurry Home. Indiana Harbor, Ind., Aug. 13. (Spe cial.) Mrs. F. H. Erlckson and chil dren returned suddenly Tuesday even ing from Kentland, Ind. Previous to her arrival a telegram to Mr. Erlckson that the family would arrive on the 8:56 Lake Shore. Mr. Erlckson had called his wife up on the long distance telephone during Tuesday to consult her on some famliy affairs, but the wire being in bad shape Mrs. Erickson had misunderstood the conversation and thought something was wrong at home. She promptly packed her luggage and took the first train for In diana Harbor, arriving as before stated at 8:o6 that evening. After Mr. Erickson had greeted the family and placed them safelv on the siauon pianorm tne awful discoverv was made that the family pocketbook had been left on the train.

DisasI terlogged craft plunged down Into the cold clammy depth of tRe rushing water. Their frantic appeals for help, were heard by their tearful companions, who were powerless, to help them. The shouts reverberated on the walls of the canyon to such an extent that manv of the natives in this uncivilized countrv. formerly known as Hungary row, rushed to the scene of the catastrophe. For a time it w&s feared that they were a man-eating tribe from their uncouth appearance, but they proved to be perfectly harmless. In the meantime all of the crew of the flagship had succeeded in clinging j to the debris, and the other boats kindj ly lifted them aboard their own craft. They then raised the sunken craft by means of pulleys and tackle, drained off the water and after a few minor repairs they were able to proceed on their journey. The seamen, however, were a sorry looking sight. Reminded Them of Hammond. The water, which clung to them In chunks was of a peculiar variety, only found in one other place in the world. That was in a stream near a large middle western city called Hammond, and is known as the Grand Calumet river. It is not believed that the heroes will suffer any permanent effect from their dreadful experience. As to the results of their journey, the trip was entirely successful. MaTvelous possibilities of the sewer were discovered, and many things never seen by the natives before were pointed out by Engineer Melton, who has a great knowledge for these things. The city officials therefore placed their O. K. on the great builders of the sew and the return trip was made without incident. HUNT AUTO SGARE Polish Citizen Meets With Disaster Because Horse Took Fright. With his horse dashing madly down the street as a result of fright at an auto moving van belonging to the Tufts Express company, Sixty-third and Madison, John Okrankiewiscz, 8406 Superior avenue, aged 55 years, was thrown from his wagon this morning, after he had lost control of his horse. His left leg was broken and he received several other bad injuries which may result in his death. The accident occurred on Exchange avenue, near Eighty-eighth street, and was witnessed by a large number of horrified people. The injured man was taken to the South Chicago hospital. " Australian Accent. We follow England very closely. We speak of "lifts" as an Englishman does, and not of "elevators," as the American, but we have "paddocks" instead of "fields," and "creeks" instead of "streams," and "scrubs" instead of "woods," and "pannikins" and "quart pots" and "billy tea" at picnics and all sorts of lovely Australian things, which make one perfectly homesick to think about.

GARY HOUSE WIFE VICTIMS

Buy Vegetables and Eggs From Street Venders Times Would Warn the Unwary. Beware of cold storage produce men disguised as farmers when purchasing provisions from peddlers! The Times uiKes mis opportunity to warn the publie that many of the wholesale dealears, taking advantage in the confidence vested in the tillers of the soil, are dressing and representing themselves to be such for the purpose of disposing of their foodstuff, which they claim to be direct from the country. Hoimen Ivm Are Duped. In the past few weeks there have been many housewives in Gary, who, upon seeing the trusty countrymen dressed in overalls, straw hats and with a red handkerchief about their neck, have, without question, purchased their butter and eggs, and have been disillusioned only upon finding that the product is the poorest that could be purchased from any reputable store or dealer. This Is the latest "gag" that has been sprung in this region of a like character. It has been unquestionably successful until the last few days, when several of the housewives have been so bitterly victimized that they are not falling to the ruse as easily as they have heretofore. The report comes to this office that last Monday a peddler disguised as a farmer canvassed the city from house to house, selling eggs. The man looked suspicious to one of the housewives, who questioned him as to where his farm was located. He only replied that he lived near Hobart but could give no satisfactory reply. A dozen eggs were purchased by the woman and half of them were found uki uu me remainaer were far from being fresh. Throughout the neigh borhood the women were victimized in the same manner by this man, who disposed of a large amount of produce Hurt the Truck Farmer. The practice of the crooks is about as daring and original as could well be conceived. For many years past truck farmers through the south end of the county have made their living by sell ing the product of their farms to the residences or the large cities in the north end, by a house to house can vas. Their product has always been of the highest class and many of the families have relied on them for their supply for years. In order to sell their storage goods, therefore, to the unsus pecting housewife, several of the cold storage dealers hit upon the scheme of disguising themselves as farmers and found that they could easily dispose of their goods. In the future, therefore. unless acquainted with the farmers calling at your door, it might be well for the purchasers to put the alleged truck gardeners through a cross-ex amination before buying.

The next morning it was eaten by the fowls, as a result of which Mr. Lehr's flock of chickens is largely decreased.

Decoy Letter Leads Him to a Trysting Place Is Put Through Sweating Process. What is believed by the South Chicago police to be a good clew to the bridge dynamiting on the- Kensington & Eastern railroad, near Hegewisch a week ago was found by the down town police yesterday when they took a man by the name of George Edmunds in charge. He was later released but the ponce hope that by letting him free and keeping a strict surveillance over him they will not only find the perpetrator of the bridge outrage but also secure a clew regarding the dynamiting of the gambling places down town. In the Sweat Box. The prisoner was subjected to a long sweat-box examination by Inspector Wheeler and Detectives Norton and Egan, who captured him at WahaH avenue and Van Buren street by means of a decoy letter purporting to come from a former sweetheart. The letter was written by Detectives 6 j. ' i , nuu nau secured a clew indcating the man was connected with the blowing up of the Illinois Central bridge. The officers lay in waiting and arrested him when he approached the trysting place mentioned in the letter. Before he could offer resistance handcuffs were placed on his wrists and he was being hurried to a police cell. The police hint that the prisoner has a mania for throwing bombs, that he is an inventor, and that he manufac tured the explosives personally. They tried to learn his address, through which they hoped to find his explosives. What led up to the dynamiting of the Illinois Central bridge, which occurred a week ago, the police are unable to tell. They think it possible that the prisoner may have been hired by disgrunted employes of the company. The explosion partly shattered the long bridge. Idaho Actor's Wardrobe.

BASEBALL STARTS TROUBLE

Boys Play Around Church and Dis turb the Services Must Show Consequences. Special to The Times East Chicago, Aug. 13. Oklahom territory in East Chicago Is threatened with a miniature religous war, between followers of the Protestant church and those of the Hungarian Cathiloc church. Somebody is evidently not behaving toward his neighbor in the way that the Lord taught his followers to live. Furthermore, baseball playing by Catholic boys in the neighborhood, of the Protestant church and Protestant services do not mix very well, and when such a conflict is on somebody comes out second best. Church and BaHebnll Don't Mix. Seemingly from the "holler" that haa gone up from Gaza Muha's friends a fifteen-year-old Hungarian Catholic boy who with others persisted in playing ball around the church, Gaza came out second best. A type written report minus the moving pictures which came to The Times this morning says that "Andrew Fusy took up a rock and hit the Catholic fifteen-year-old in the back of the neck and Postmaster Balla Fuzy ran after the boy and wanted to kill him. So the Catholic people came and took the boy away." The report was unsigned and was evidently from the Catholic side of the affair. Mri. Fuy Story. Mr. Fuzy this morning when questioned about the various atrocicities ascribed to him and his son told a different story. "We have no police protection in Oklahoma and consequently we must protect ourselves. Those boys have persisted in playing ball right in front of the church and in the alley, and while we were willing to forgive them thinking they did not know any better they have persisted until we are satisfied that it is spite work. I lost my patience last Sunday when the Huha boy called me a after I had asked him to stay away.
