RUNAWAY BOY REPENTS George Ondos Jr. Sends His Father $25 Says He Is Going East. Indinana Harbor, Ind., Oct. 21. (Spe cial) George Ondos, Jr. has repented. As told last evening, Ondos left Indi ana Harbor on Sunday for parts un known, taking with him the proceds of a check of $11 belonging to his father, a prominent Pennsylvania avenue saloonkeeper. It was thought that the lad, who is but 18 years of age, had gone to New York city, as he had often expressed a desire to visit the east. It has now been learned, however, that Chicago was his destination, and that he is now in the Windy City, suffer ing the pangs of his conscience. Early yesterday morning, Ondos, sr. received a letter from his run-away son. Enclosed in the letter was a postal money order for $25. In explanation, George had written that "he was sorry for that he had done, and would send the other $16 as soon as he found a position. He also declared that he was going to leave for the east within a few days and expected to secure work in one of the larger eastern cities. Mr. Ondos has not yet decided what course he will pursue regarding his son's action. It is likely, however. that an officer will be sent to Chicago to bring back the wayward young man, and proceedings Instituted to place him where he will be given rigid watching for the next three years. The local police department declare that the case of the first on of its kind to be brought to their attention, and all last night comments upon the action of the youth were frequent about police headquarters. PEAT DEPOSIT CATCHES FIRE. ALL NIGHT JOB Department Has Ilnrd Work to Qnlnoh Smouldering Flames in Enst Chicago. East Chicago, Ind.. Oct. 21. (Special) -The fire department was called into action yesterday by the burning of the peat deposit on One Hundred and Forty-seventh street, between Magoun and Baring avenues. Nearly all night, a hose was kept playing on the smouldering cinders and turf, which apparently is burning to a depth of three feet below the surface. This is exceedingly dangerous, as the property in that vicinity is more or less of the some deposit and houses in that locality subjected to the dangers of the smouldering fires. The burning patches were extinguished, however, after a great deal of trouble, and the situation pronounced safe by those in charge of the Quenching expiation.

GET RIPARIAN RIGHTS Final Action to Indiana Harbor's Water Front Nearly Complete. (Special to Thb Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Oct. 21. The city council will hold an adjourned session in the council chambers on Friday evening, discussing at that time the all-important riparian rights question. In a letter received from Attorney William Duff Haynie, of the C, L S. & E. Railway company, Mr. Haynie declared that before the company could give to the city the riparian rights of the property in front of the Harbor city park a petition for the vacation of the so-called "Block B" would have to be filed with the circuit court.

At that time,' if no legal contest arises, the city will be presented with a deed to the riparian property, one of the most valuable acquisitions of any lake front city. POLL TAKEN AT MARSHALL MEETING Ten Republicans nnd Eleven Democrat on Interurhan Car. Indiana Harbor. Oct. 21. (Special) A fair estimate of the representation at the Indiana Harbor Marshall meeting was secured on Monday evening when a poll was taken of the special car furnished by Attorney F. J. Lewis Meyer, of the C. L. & S. B. line to carry East Chicagoans to the rally In this city. Mr.- Meyers himself witnessed the taking of the poll and passengers on the car will verify its authenticity. There were 21 passengers on the car, exclusive of officials. Each person was given a ballot and requested to secretly denote his political affiliations. When the poll was counted, there were found to be 11 democratic ballots arwl 10 republicans. The odd democratic ballot was cast by a lady traveling on the car with her husband, and who demand the right of suffrage. If East Chicago's delegation, traveling two miles to attend the meeting, was one-half republican. It is conjectured that the Indiana Harbor aggregation was fully three-fourths republican, drawn there by an inquisitive sense. And it Is said that figures will not lie. Mohammedan Wisdom. Among the Mohammedans the maintenance of children devolves bo exclusively on the father that the mother Is entitled to claim wages for nursing them. The Importance of ber services to the state In rearing healthy citizens is thus recognized 'n the most uractlcal marir.

The queerest tale that has yet come to the ears of the naturalization committee of the Youner Men's Renuhlican club is that of a foreigner living in the district near One Hundred and Forty-ninth and Melville avenue. Joe, for by that that name Is he known, wanted to vote the republican ticket this year, but did not want to become a real citizen. He refused to forswear all allegiance to prince, potentate, ruler, etc., as prescribed by law. He merely wanted to vote, without the weighty - strings being tied securely j about his conscience. When pressed for an explanation, joe replied mat ne nan a girl In the old country and if he became a citizen of the United States she i would have nothing to do with him." He was finally impressed with the fact that "there are better fish in the sea, etc.," and promised to think the matter Over carefully before election day. HAVE NARROW ESCAPE Two East Chicago Lads Figure in Wreclj in Illinois. Word has been received here of the j narrow escape of two East Chicago lads from possibly fatal injuries in a j wreck on the C. & E. L. railway. The ; two men are Henry Bailey and Mlch- ; ael Toohey, who left Sunday for a visit of six weeks with friends in Hot Springs, Ark. Taking the C. & E. I. from Chicago they were wrecked at ; a small town named Willow Grove, ; 111., by the breaking of an axle under ' one of the passenger coaches. The ! brakeman and one of the conductors ! was severely injured and all the passengers, including the East Chicago boys, badly shaken. The train was going at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour at the time of the accident, and the fact that the loss of life was , not tremendous Is considered by raili road men as almost a miracle.
