So dangerous is Alex Poliske and so black his reputation, that when one of the officers went to take off his handcuffs while he was receiving his sentence that the judge ordered that they be not removed. Had Sheriff Arrested. Alex Poliske is the man who had Sheriff Carter arrested for opening his mail. The government authorities refused to take any action against Carter and this greatly enraged Poliske. Poliske is known to have been one of the sluggers in the famous Pullman strike and his reputation is very bad, although this is the first time he has been sent to states prison. , The charge upon which Poliske, Lipke and Paske were sentenced was that of steajing brass. They were caught on a Nlckle plate train by Captain Peter Austgen and Officer Einsele after the tip had been sent to the local department from Gibson. The men had the brass strapped around their waists. Implicated In Gibson Robbery. Alex Poliske and ohn Paske were implicated in the attemp to rob the saloon of Mike Lukowski in the Gibson district whsn a negro was shot by another man in attepmting to escape.

The local police are exceedingly glad to have two such dangerous men removed from the community and it is a feather in their cap that they have been captured.

A small riot at the corner of Ninetysecond street and Commercial avenue about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, caused great excitement to people returning home from work. Two policemen who -were about a block from the scene of the tumult came running breathlessly up to the corner asking what the matter was, but they received no reply. They started to get into the crowd and was just about to grab the man or men who started the riot, when a man started down the street with a straw hat torn to shreds. It was James O'Shaunesey of .Hegewisch who nad ventured into South Chicago in the summer headgear atter Mayor Busse's ukase on straw hats, which extended its life two weeks longer had run out, it being the 15th of the month.

In hundreds of South Chicago homes something of this sort might have been heard: "Wine, put the straw hat on the shelf it is good yet and I can wear it a season or two yet. It's a wonder you can't wear your hats a season or two like the men. Why, you know I haven't hat a new hat since the world's fair and that ."

Indiana Harbor, Ind., Sept.r15. Indiana Harbor has a horse with an educated taste for liquors. The animal belongs to a local foreign baker, somewhere on the east side, and recently surprised its owner by stepping from the harness and making its way at breakneck speed down Michigan avenue. The horse reached the saloon of John Pete at the corner of One Hundred and Thirty-eighth and Beech streets where the Pete emporium Is located, and immediately attempted to get in the doorway. Being rather large, the glass in the door was broken and the panel forced -out, while Mr. Quad Ruped was left with his head sticking through the broken glass. To say that Pete was surprised is insufficient. He was astonished, but regained his good will suddenly. Thinking of no other suitable drink, he decided. to offer the equine visitor a "horse-neck" (whatever that is), and was refused. The horse preferred seltzer and Pete, armed with the Seltzer bottle gave him a goodly portion. It was the horse's turn to be surprised, but he seemed to appreciate the beverage and neighed for more. Being told that the stock was out, the visitor withdrew his head from the broken glassware, quietly walked away, and Pete wondering where he could raise the 10 necessary to repair the glass.
