ARIZONA UIDUNS SAVED

Judge Torrison Hears How How Youths Change Their Mind. The moving tale of how the lure of home and mother proved too strong for the call of the wild was unfolded with sad results to Albert Sweeney. 16 years old, and Clearance Labounty, 15 years old, before Judge Torrison in the Hyde Park court yesterday. Also the perfidy of one Lester Quan, 15 years old, was made a matter of public record. . As a consequence. Tucson, Art., and other .savage parts have escaped for the time being an invasion that would have put $250 of good Chicago money in 'circulation and might have cost some shedding of gore. The $250 came from the trouser pocket of Sweeney pere, who lives at 7109 Ingleside avenue. It had reposed there safely for some days, preparatory to being invested In real estate, when Sweeney fils discovered It. The latter has ben hearing the call of the wild for some time. When he discovered the money the call became so loud that it drowned the voice of conscience. In that evil moment the possession of the $250 was transferred from Sweeney per to Sweeney fils. Young Labounty has been feeling the lure of the west for months. That made him and Sweeney kindred spirits, and when Sweeney laid his hands on his father's money his first thought was of his 'pard,' Labounty. Then they took into their confidence young Quan, who knows nothing about the call of the wild or the lrue of the west, but has read a lot about Diamond Dick and Dare Devil Dan the Deer Killer. It was decided to purchase ponies, saddles, pistols, bowie knives, lariats, and jack sacks right away and start for the far west, where the wirld red man roams the plains hunting buffalo and fire water. They got as far as buying the pistols. It was then Quan handled his that the lure of home and mother got In its work and transformed that bold young Indian hunter into a frail and vacillating weakling, not to say a perfidious traitor. Anway, Quan told his mother, and his mother told the Grand Crossing police. The latter did the rest. Labounty and Sweeney were taken, pistol in hand, so to speak, and yesterday Judge Torrison added the final chapter to the tragedy by holding the two boys over to the juvenile court, despite the plea of Mrs. Sweeney that her son had always been a good boy. SICK, HE WANTS TO DIE Phillip Brubic, South Chicago Barber, Discovered in Time by Friend. Tired of living because he was sick with little hope for recovery, Phillip Brubic, a barber rooming at 15 Ninetieth street, tried to commit suicide last night by gas esphyxlatlon. Only for the arrival of his friend, John Rapisch, of 8757 Green Bay avenue, who called at his rooming house, was Brubic discovered in time to save his life. Rapisch was on his way to work and wanted Brubic to go with him to work, lie went to the boarding house and ent directly to his friend's room. Upon entering the smell of gas greeted him and Brubic was found to be still in bed and unconscious. Dr. Crandon was hurriedly summoned and revived the dying man. Brubac of late has been very despondent and often hinted that he yet would put an end to all of his sufferings. He retired last night, however, as susual with no signs of the steps that lie would take, and his near-death this morning threw the boarding house into consternation. Park Commissioners Buy. The South Park Commissioners have purchased from John Rybowiak and others six parcels of property fronting east on Bond avenue, south of Eightythird place, for a total consideration of $14,375. The ground dimensions are 168x125 feet, and the improvements consist of dwelling houses. The land is to be used as an extension to Russell square. Tries to Flip Train. While attempting to board a moving train at One Hundred and Sixth street and the Pennsylvania crossing, James Henderson of 7920 South Chicago avenue slipped and was thrown to the ground, sustaining bruises about the ace and body. He was picked up and put on the train where his bruises were dressed. He was taken to his home by rf lends. Organize for Bowling. A meeting was held last night at Gut Steel's Lincoln alleys for tlx purpose of organizing to start the bowling season and take steps to organize for the coming season. Several new clubs it is said will be organized. Better Than Writing Poetry. Literary work is all right, but the surest way to make your name a household word is to advertise extensively.

PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX LISTGOMP LETE Little Increase in Valuation in Thirty-Third Ward Returns.

PULLMAN COMPANY IS FIRST Calumet Electric Railway Company Is Assessed at $500,000 Is Considered Very Low. The personal property tax list for the thirty-third ward in South Chicago has been compiled and is now out for publication. The list shows on the whole comparatively little increase in' valuation and there are few changes from last year. The list takes ia its scope all the territory in the thirtythird ward except the town of Calumet, which lies to the west of State street, and will be assessed under the old town system. In comparing the list with that of the last assessment taken, the main features of interest are the high values shown on the properties of the local manufactories. Prominent among these is the Pullman company, which is the highest tin the list, and which will have to pay taxes on nearly 2,000,000. With the proposed improvements which are now under consideration by the company will greatly exceed that amount. Pullman Trust Co. Second. The Pullman Trus-t and Savings bank is sceond on the list, with an assessment of $640,000. It will been seen from the list below tiiat the Calumet .Kleetrie railway company has a very low assessment of $5u0,000, which has given rise to much comment in South Chicago.

Captain Peter Cooper Haines shot and killed William E. Annis at Atlantic City last Sunday. His brother, T. Jenkins, with a loaded revolver, held back the crowds until the deed was finished and the police arrived upon the scene. Annis had been a personal friend of the slayer, but was accused of having led the latter's wife astray, while he had been on duty in the Philippine islands. Upon his return home and after he had assured himself of his wife's faithlessness, he divorced her and the shooting of . last Saturday was a climax to the already sad' family drama. Mrs. Peter C. Hlnes, who lives with her mother in Boston, said after she had ben told of the shooting, she hoped that both of the brothers would be hanged.

4 -34 V . i - 7rs.3e2er' HE DESERTED HIS HE South Chicago Police Arrest William Bolger Case is Under Advisement. One of the most Inhuman cases of wife desertion that has come under the inspection of the South Chicago police station, was found today when William Bolger of 9277 South Chicago avenue, was arraigned before Municipal Judge Torrison. Bogler was arrested about two weeks ago on a warrant sworn out by his wife. When the officers arrived at the Bolger home it was found that Bolger In a fit of drunkenness had cruelly beaten his wife. He had lent nothing towards the support of his wife and child for the past two years. During that time what little money he had earned he had spent for liquor and would subpect his wife to cruel treatment. When Bolger was arrested about two weeks ago he was given a preliminary hearing. His case came up for trial this morning in Judge Torrison's court. Mrs. Molger was present and testified that she had been suporting herself and child for the past two years. Bolger said he had been ovt of work a great deal of the time and was not able to give much to the support of his family. He denied having been drunk when he struck his wife and said she in the first place struck him three rimes in the face. Judge Torriosn took the case under advisement. Appropriate Action. "Old Grabdollar, the eminent and respected trustocrat " "Yes, he is dead. But in his will be showed his gratitude to the best friend he ever had. He left a large chunk of his plunder to erect a monument in grateful remembrance of the man who invented technicalities." Puck. To Prevent Breaking Glass.

.," ' CooperJfainsjj,. IS Many South Chicagoans Use Sprinkling Water Out of Hours. The South Chivcago police were no tifled by Chief of Police Shippy to watch out for persons violating the use' of the city water outside of hours. Many persons in South Chicago have been guilty of sprinkling out of hours and as there is a shortage of water In various sections in the city, the police will strictly enforce the order and all persons found violating it will be ar rested. The following is the ordi nance. "Hose shall not be used for sprlnk ling, washing windows, walks or other like purposes except between the hours of 6 and 7 o'clock a, m. and 6 and 10 o'clock p. m. (irrespective of whether the water supply is controlled by meter or not); nor shall water be used through hose for the benefit of adjacent lots unless such water supply Is controlled by meter; and it shall be the duty of the police department to en force compliance with the foreging pro vision in regard to the use of hose for sprinkling, washing windows, walks, or jother like purposes, except between the hours above mentioned, and any per son using hose or using water through hose in violation of this paragraph shall be fined not less than $10 for the first offense, and for every additional offence not less than $25 nor more than $100, and each day that water or hose is used in violation of the foreging provision shall constitute a distinct and separate offense." Merely a Suaaestion. During the dinner hour on board a steamer the other day a passenger was much disturbed by the vulgar way m which the man who sat next to him ate his meat At last, after watching mm pick a bone in a very primitive fashion, he could control his feelings no longer, and, turning to the offending party, he said: "Don't you think you would be more comfortable if you took that out on the mat!" Tit-Bits.

ORDINANCE

VIOLATED

IF YOU BAVK TIME TUR3S TO f AGE 7 AND HEAP THE WAST ADS,

POLICE ARE HELD UP TO SCORN. (Continued front pace 1). Judge Fitzgerald, the attorneys for the defense tiled an arpeal bond of $25. Attorney X. A. Beck, however, will not be able to follow the case to the superior court as lie has not been admitted to practice in the superior court. In regard to the charge of extortion against Officer Juric it is not likely that this matter will be taken before the grand jury as the attorneys stated at the beginning of the case. Attorney Beck stated last night that he was now Interested in Winning the provocation case and that was all he cared about. The full decision of Judge Fitzgerald

is as follows: State of Indiana, ss: State of Indiana vs. Julius Solmon. This is a criminal case In behlf of the state of Indiana commenced an affidavit and warrant, in which the defendSolomon, is charged with provocation. The defendant set up as his defense that he was not guilty and that his arrest was a conspiracy by the police depart ment 'and Harris and Bretsch to extort money from htm and that before this case he had already given to the Policeman, Juric, $5, and that said Juris demanded $2 which the defendant refused to pay; and that he was then arrested. After hearing all the evidence and listening to the arguments of the respective parties, I find that there was no conspiracy between the police department and Harris and Bretsch, and that Harris and Bretsch dld not know of this defendant's arrest until Harris went . to the police station to pay one Conboys fine. I also find that Deck Sergeant J. Glenn Rambo did not go to the office of Harris and Bretsch as charged by the defendant; I also And that Officer Juric did not receive any $5 or any other sum of money whatsoever from this defendant, and as far as evidence and the hearing In this court, I hereby completely exonerate the police department, Officer Rambo, Officer Juric and the firm of Harris & Bretsch of any and all charges as set up by the defendant In his defense. I find the defendant guilty as charged In the affidavit, and fix his fine at $5 and costs, and hereby order that he stand committed to the county Jail until same Is paid or replevied.
