Most of the time (Consumed- is. between. Harbor Junction, and Hammond.- Last night one of the cars ran off the switch at Gary and was delayed for several 'hours. The car was due in- Gary at 6:36.

They will be given a hearing before Municipal Judge Lantry at the Hyde Park court today. MrTlAR WITH TBI Mpmtn the nrsrrass Mis, the profej. SIOXAL MAX AVO THE HAIVITFAOT -J THE TRSKS " .

It CAN BEAT HER 1F: mm m" mill iu Says Drunken Man of East Chicago and Proceeds to Show. FORKS USES A BILLIARD CUE I; Judge Eeiland Clears the Man Who Protected a Defenseless Woman. ' (Special to Thb Times) East Chicago. Ind pt, 21. A case in which the por unfortunate received both ends of the punishment, came to light in Judge ,'Reiland's court Saturday afternoon when Charles MInthler was fined $15.35 on a charge of criminal provocation. The story told by the witnesses before Special Prosecutor Abe Ottenheimer "is interesting as well as unusual. Last Friday evening Minthler was drinking heavily in the Balog saloon in Oklahoma. He decided to go home and start some trouble by beating , his wife. The latter was in her bed room, deshabille, when her drunken spouse arrived on the scene - Rom Into Saloon. - Screaming she ran into the saloon, her scant clothing flying behind her. Her cries for help aroused the inmates af the place and orte, Louis Hupp, attempted to show'Minthler the error of his ways. MInthler would not listen. "She's my wife, and I can beat her if I want to.'Vhe said as he made a desperate lunge at the frightened woman. John Forkos. another foreigner, then decided that it was "up to him" to quiet the belligerent MInthler. This he succeeded in doing, using a billiard ball as the means of his attack. ' MInthler was knocked senseless and Mrs. MInthler returned to her home. Of Course, Forkos and Hupp, were arrested and charged with assault and battery. Judge Reiland could not decide, however, which of the two me"rf had used the billiard ball with Such good effect and liberated both, fining the battered MInthler on the provocation charge. - . .- . . ,

Shocking Misfortune Befalls Sam Schunk ; and : Doctors fee No Hope. GAN'T ACCOUNT FOR ATTACK . ' Thinks Perhaps Gasolene StOVe Explosion Is Cause of, His " Blindness. Sam Schunk, one of the, well known citisens of Gary, and a restaurant keeper there, became suddenly blind last Friday and the doctors who have examined his cose say there' la no nope for his recovery. Mr. Schunk is the proprietor of a restaurant at the corner of Fifteenth avenue and -Washington- street, and Is one of be pioneers of Gary, where he has lived for a year and a ralf. , Friday Schunk got off a street car at the, corner of: Fifteenth street and Broadway and was walking towards his home when he suddenly became blind. - Cant Aecoaat For It. ' He conld not account for his misfortune and has been in the world of total darkness ever since. He has had several doctors examine his eyes and they say there is no hope for him. Home time ago there was an explosion of a gasoline stove In his restaurant in which he suffered- several burns about the face and that "Is the only thing he could possibly attribute his blindness. Mr. Schunk has employed several physicians and . the expense of their hire together with other misfortunes he has had, made It necessary for him to sell out his restaurant at a sacrifice. He is now without funds with which to provide himself with a living, and with his terrible handicap he Is casting about for something to do. He says that he may sell papers like blind George over In Hammond and may also act as an interpreter at the police station as he can speak several languges. .... OLD SETTLERS MEET Gary Veterans Will Give a " ' Fountain to the City ! - Shortly. j The old settlers of Gary, those who located there prior to July 1, 1906 held a meeting yesterday which was attended by eleven people.

It was decided to present a fountain to the city which should be inscribed wfrth the names of the first twenty-four.-' The Gary Heat and Water company's franchise provides for the furn-t ishing of water for a certain number of public fountains and so the fountain would be no expense to the city. ' Mayor Thomas E. Knotts and Judge A- C. Huber are selected . to draw up a constitution, and by-laws and report at a meeting which will be held next Saturday night when the officers of the.-organization will be selected. -The old settlers who were present at the meeting were.
