Prominent Gary Real Estate Man Collides With Another and His Buggy Is Overturned and Thrown Over Embankment.

MARVEL THAT HE WASN'T KILLED Business Men Complain of Narrow- . ness of Calumet River Koad . to Gary Where Second Other Bad Accidents Have Also Happened in the Past. tW. A". Bacon, one of the prominent rel estate me of Gary, had a narrow ' escape from death yesterday when he was driving north from the .Little Calumet river on Broadway, south of Gary, was attempting to pa a rig . containing T. AV. Englrhart of Hani- ' l niond and Gary and a party of custom- , rrx when he ran into the ditch and ' his hussy was overturnetl. The accident wan due to the fact fr"! that the road from the Calumet er to Gary is no narrow tjint it in nl- j moat impossible for two carriages to pass.. Mr. Euglchart was driving from 1 the river towards Gary when he no- , tleed that some one wns trying to pass j him. i In another minute he saw the horse J fal down the embankment and the bug- i gy containing Mr. G. V. Bacon turned completely over. The accident happened j about 4 p. m. yesterday and it is a i . i : marvel to Mr, ogienan mat cue occupants of the buggy were not killed.

"uut' ft"- JrtSsii o iiTouIi u that outside of being badly bruised and having an ugly cut on his cheek he was not badly injured. The accident served to point out the fact that South Broadway is in a dangerous condition considering the amount of trac it is compelled to carry. This street has become one of the greatest thoroughfares in the county in that it is the only connection between Gary and the farming district to the south. There has been much complaint on the part of both the business men of Gary and the farmers south of the city over the fact. that the county commissioners have delayed the matter of widening this road and building the bridge over the river. re two t It is understood that there a interurban companies which are waiting for the bridge to be built to begin the construction of a line from Crown Point to Gary. Considering the importance of the" thoroughfare the property owners along Broadway in Gary are unable to understand the delay. Koad Too arrow. In some places the road is so narrow that it is impossible for vehicles to pass. If the matter is delayed much longer the spring franchise will make it impossible to build the bridge! until late in the summer, of Gary have been promised faithfully that they are to have their bridge and if the improvement i delayed too long they argue that it will hurt property values. Only last spring a horse belonging to the United States Iandcompany was drowned in the dit,ch along the road and the lives of several of the employes of the company were endangered. Even if the Burns' ditch is put through it is argued that there will be so much water run through the river during the spring freshets that the bridge is as much of a ne cessity as though the Burns ditch had never been thought of. The accident to Mr. Bacon will serve to call the attention of the county commissioners to the urgent necessity of building Gary's bridge at once. Higher Courts' Record SUPREME COURT MIXNUTES. ;1296.

He declared that the woman was of sound mind and proceeded to assess the costs of the case against her husband, who, it is charged, attempted to have her railroaded to the insane asylum. Mr. Levi made a strenuous attempt to have the case nollse prossed after he had gauged the unfavorable sentiment of the Jewish people and others who were familiar with the case. He was forced to face the music, however, so decided to let the case go by default. The trial was postponed for two hours while the attorneys and witnesses waited for him to appear, but the prosecuting witness either came to the conelusion that his wife was sane, or that he did not care to send her to an asylum. Details of the woman's treatment at the hands of her spouse for many years in the past are revolting in the extreme. It was intended by Attorney Clarence Bretseh for the defense to bring many faits to light in the procedure, but Mr. Levi decided not to give him a chance. Plenty of "Witnesses. In the trial this afternoon the re were a dozen witnesses ready to testify to the woman's rational behavior, and soundness of mind. Most of them were bitter against Levi for the attempt to deprive her of her liberty. All of the witnesses w-ere well acquainted with both parties concerned, i and feel that if action is taktn against either of them the husband should be sent to the penitentiary. Mi's.

This action was taken at a special meeting of the society held soon after the suit was started.against Mrs. Levi.

Sept. 30. Judge "William A. Reiland of this city, tomorrow will have completed his fifteenth year as justice of Ihe peace in Lake county. He is one of the oldest justices in the township, if not the oldest, and his reputation as an able jurist is such that attorneys from other cities frequently ask for change of venue to his court for the purpose of securing an absolutely fair and impartial trial. Judge Reiland has served in North township courts for all but eight months of these fifteen years. His first case was tried in Eas.t Chicago in 1893, f.n October 1st "It was a strange one," said the judge yesterday. 'T didn't know how to make out a summons or even a warrant. I sent my constable served for eight years. A vacation of eight months followed, prior to his reelection to the justice bench, another term of which he is now completing. The termination of his judicial career is not yet, however, as attorneys of this city and township declare that they wl4l not permit him to retire from the ranks yet, although the judge declares that he has held office long enough. 1 No cases will be tried tomorrow, in celebration of the anniversary, and the judge will make the day one of pleasure, inviting all the attorneys to share the Joys of reminiscences with him.

Mrs. Metropa Throws Herself Under

Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago Street Car. (Special to The Times). East Chicago, Ind,, Sept. 30. Crazed by worrying over her family's destitute condition, Mrs. John Metropa, of 4313 Northcote avenue, yesterday attempted to commit suicide by throwing Herself in front of one of the Ham mond, Whiting and East Chicago Rail way company cars. The attempt was frustrated by the car's motorman. Mrs. Metropa had been attending the Greek Catholic church at Whiting, ac companied by her husband and two children, aged 6 and 2 years. On leaving the .church she refused to ride home in the street car. "I will walk home, she told her husband. At One Hundred and Twenty-eighth street she gave a little cry and still holdinsr her baby in her arms, threw herself face downward across the railway tracks. Car Stops Iu Time. The car was stopped in time, how ever, to prevent injury to the woman, and the husband and father was at his wit's end. He succeeded in holding the woman in check until the arrival of the next car from East Chicago. Again the woman broke away from her restraint and almost succeeded in throwing her self in front of the car. The mr.tr. man had been warned at the East Chicago crossing of the womans condi tion and immediately slackened his speed. The woman was again removed to a place of safety and pinioned to the ground until the arrival of Police Of ficer Joseph Vacha, of Whiting. The woman refused to move and screaming and asking for religious consola tion she was taken to the Whiting police station, where she was attended by a physician. She was then brought to her home in East Chicago and an officer detailed to watch her during the night. About 5 o'clock last evening the mania for self-destruction again took hold of the woman and she made her third attempt at suicide. Running to wards an open window on the second floor she succeeded in getting both feet out of the wino-v, intending to" thVw herselfto the ground below. Had Ihe succeeded she would have fallen on a large pile of wood and undoubtedly sustained fatal Injuries. Recover from Illness. Mrs. Metropa recently recovered from a serious attack of illness with which she wa confined to her home for five weeks. Her husband, an employe of the Republic Steel mills lost his position and the family larder has been sadly depleted for several days. This fear so preyed upon the woman's mind that she became demented. An insane commission will be appointed tomorrow afternoon by Judge Reiland to investigate the woman's condition.
