Johnson himself was in Chicago at the time, but the riots in his place are so frequent, that many of Gary's people are wondering why the place has not been suppressed long ago as a puisance.

" In an Instant there was a seramble to 1 get out of the place. Some of the spectators Jumped out the windows and others dodged down the stirways. One Dog Chewed UpThe dogs were spirited away and the only evidence there Is that a dog fight was held is the testimony of several wltnesses that one dog was chewed up so badly when the fight was stopped that It was dying. James Finneran was accompanied to I the hail by some of the town trustees and the town clerk. The trustees who are said to have been the prime movers In the raid are Julius Smith and William Neal. Town Clerk Tony Cullan was also verv much interested in having the fight suppressed and he was ablv assisted by Trustee Amel Jabos--i-iji i ThA othnr trnsteAs who were more or less Interested wre, Chester E.

"When Trustee Amel Jabosrizkl en tered the hall In company with Town Marshal James Finneran and his six reputies, he Is alleged to have had a revolver in his hand. He was at once confronted by Bat ling Nelson who told him to put the gun away. Trustee Jabosrizki did not comply with the Batlers command and the gun was forthwith taken away from him. In the melee which followed Trustee Jabosrizkl was the recipient of a black eye and had his hands slashed with a knife. Those of the crowd who had not es caped through the second story windows or who had not eluded the town marshal and his deputies were arrested and were taken In a buss to "West Ham mond where they were Jailed.

The warrant has not been served on Batllng Nelson as yet, and he will prob' ably be arrested today. The whole af fair is said to be the result of the determination of certain members of the board of trustees to get even with May or Johnny Paton for the stand he took in the franchise matter.

From Hot Springs Mr. Crumpacker will go to his home In Indiana to spend Kooseveu interested in Indiana. President Roosevelt is interested in Indiana politics Just now .and talks about the Indiana election with every Hoosler who calls on him. Almost in variably he expresses an uncompliment ary opinion of the proprietor of an Indianapolis paper who he thinks fought Mr. Taft unfairly Some conferences that have been go ing on in "Washington are supposed to have had a bearing on Indiana politics.

ATTENDS CHURCH, ROD

HOI IS LOOTED Indiana Harbor Couple Re turn in Time to See BurglarSIndlana Harbor, Ind., Nov. 23. Arriving home from church last evening Mr. and Mrs. FTed Stephens of Aldis avenue found that their home had been looted by burglars. Escape had been effected through a side window, which had been used as a means of access, and tho Stephens rushed to this point in an effort to catch sight of the rob bers. They were rewarded by seeing ' someone running across the Baltimore i & Ohio tracks in tho rear of their home ; towards the Lake Shoro and Michigan Southern depot. Here an east-bound train was waiting, and it is believed that the burglars made their escape . on this carrier. J The robbery was committed at about i 9:30 o'clock and the entire house had been ransacked by the offenders. An inventory of the articles lost consisted .of about $20 In money, two gold pieces, several Columbian half dollars, an Ivers-Johnson revolver of 38-caliber and a large quantity of silverware. j The burglars must have been sur- j prised while at their work by the sudden approach of the Stephens family, i as the silverware was found on the ground outside the window later ln the evening. No other houses In the region was molested, and the Impression Is that the work wka that of men who merely stopped ovr for one train after sizing up the town on a previous visit. Footprints cn the ground about the house indicate that there were two men at work, but the dense fog that arose from the lake last evening precluded the seeing of but one of the miscreants. A brief description has been given the police and has been telegraphed to cities along the Lake Shore system.
