GARY II ARRESTED

FOR THEFT

Fred Winter, Formerly of

Falksnau Construction Co. Gets into Trouble in Chi

cago, and Charge Against

Him Is Larceny.

DYNAMITE PLOT

S REVEALED TODAY

Gary Police Mystified at

Bold Attempt to Blow Up Boarding House.

Gary people were ama-ed to learn today that Fred Winter, who vraa formerly employed In the city by the Falknau Construction company and who supervised the erection of houses built by the Gary Land company, had been arretted late Wednesday night - at his home, 2443 Lake wood avenue, Chicago, oa a' charge of larceny. Simultaneously, Casper Schmidt, Winter's business partner, wasarrested on a similar charge at his home . In Michigan City, Ind. The two men are charged with the theft of $500 worth of tile roofing from the Victor Falkenau Construction company. The warrants against the two men were issued at Crown Point. "' Claims. It Is Spite Work. After his arrest Winter was refused ball; and w4s compelled to remain in jail until yesterday. ' He claims the arrest of himself and Schmidt is a piece of spite work upon .the part of the Falkenau people, caused by the fact that during last August he and Schmidt quit the employ of the Falkenau Construction company and started buisness for themselves.

"The roofing we are accused of

stealing," said Winter, "was sent to Gary two years ago by a sub-contrac

tor to be used in roofing one of the buildings we were constructing. I condemned the material and it lay there until last summer without a claimant.

Then Schmidt and I, who were building a hotel at Gary for ourselves, used the material to roof a small shed. There

was no theft and I will resist extradl tlon." Promotion Was Rapid.

Winter was an ordinary carpenter when he entered the employ of the

Falkenau Construction company, fit teen years ago. He is rr-pldly ad

vanced until he became superintendent of the carpenters. Then, three years

ago, he was made general manager of construction. He held that position at

the time he quite the service. Schmidt

was assistant superintendent.

Victor Falkenau, president of the Falkenau Construction company, would not state anything further in reference to the matter than that winter was in

the employ of the company for thirteen years up to August 1 last; that he Is very competent carpenter, talented mechanic and talented superintendent.

What was evidently a plot to dynamite and wipe out a whole family and an entire boarding house was discovered this morning in the shack of Jacob Labovich, who conducts a saloon at Eighteen avenue and Washington street in Gary The shack is in the rear of the saloon and I occupied by a number of boarders. Had It not been for the fact

that Labovich had decided to repaper

the shack for the winter with heavy tar

paper, the four sticks of dynamite

which were found in each corner of the

room, might still lay there, covered up under the floor paper and waiting for

somebody to accidentally drop some

heavy material on one of them.

Discovered This Morning.

Fortunately for many human lives,

the tar paper was torn up from the

floor this morning and the dynamite was discovered. How much more is

planted around the premises is a myS'

tery. The police are satisfied that the

dynamite was not left In its hiding place by accident, and the proprietor

of the place is greatly worried to learn

who his secret enemy is who would attempt to destroy his whole house

hold and all the boarders.

'I don't know of an enemy that I

have. My boarders and I always get

along well. We never had any trouble

and it was never necessary to summon

the police to my place.

"I hardly dare to think of what

might have happened had anybody ac

cldentally dropped something heavy on

the explosive. . It may be that one of

the boarders had a grudge against one

of the other boarders and he tried to

get revenge in this manner. But think of the terrible consequences that would

have resulted.

The police have been notified and

are working industriously on the case.

Sleepless Nights "My wife is of a nervous temperament, and has suffered much from sleeplessness. Since using Dr. Miles' Nervine she has greatly improved and now sleeos well."

V.:1V. FISHBACK, Redkey, Ind.

When the nerves become weak,

worn-out, excitable from over

work, worry, grief or mental ex

haustion, their turbulent condition

prevents that total relaxation that induces sleep.

Dr. Miles Nervine

by its soothing and quieting influ

ence and by strengthening and replenishing the exhausted nerve force

brings profound and restful sleep.

The first Are under headway In Gary

to be put out by the fire" department occurred yesterday when the double flat building on Seventh avenue and Mary

land street caught fire from the fur

nace. The building looked doomed at

the time the Are alarm was sent in.

but after the arrival of the department

and an immediate application of chemi

cals, the department soon got control

of the blaze.

The fire started at 11:45 from an ex

plosion in the furnace, caused by an

accumulation of gas. Just a few min

utes Derore the lire was noticed one

of the occupants of the building went to the basement to attend to the furnace and found that it was very low.

Kerosene was poured on it, the door

closed and the tenant went upstairs,

A little later a terrific explosion was

heard and the flames and smoke began

wending their way up through the

building.

Loaa Is Insured.

The police were called at once and

they responded with their own hosecart

and chemicals. A reel of hose and some chemicals werealso brought down

from the steel 'company, and together

with the numerous volunteers who of

fered their services, the department be

gan to get the flames under control

The blaze had spread to the roof, and

here the most damage , was inflicted

As soon as the fire was put out on the

roof the fire fighters began to make

headway through the rest of the build

ing until it was all extinguished.

The police reported that the families

who occupied the building were the

Shoemakers, O'Donnells, Baumstagers

and Mailers. The owner of the build

ing is the Gary Land company and they

report that the property was fully in

sured. It is estimated that the loss will be as much as $600. The house can be easily rebuilt and will not have

to be torn down.
