Green went to a respectable negro dance given by Charles McGregor on Fifteenth avenue, near Madison street, and there showed bad blood because some of the "cullud ladles and gentlemen" had seen fit to attend the .McGregor dance when there was another negro dance on in some other part of town. Green made himself generally obnoxious and in short order made Maggie Butler, a colored girl, the victim of his knife. He stabbed her, the blade entering her left lnng, and for a time she was .thought to be in a serious condition. Green will be held pending the outcome of the girl's condition and will be arraigned later. WHOLE SHOW DT HIMSELF IS OFFICEE GUS 1IEWMAN. Whenever He Sees Smoke He Is Fire Department and Policeman In One. Officer Gus Newman of the local police station simply can't get out of the habit of putting out a fire. If Gus sees a little smoke issuing from a house or building that looks a little suspicious his ears begin to prick up and be will run several miles to find out the cause. Testerday afternoon Newman discovered a prairie Are near the powerhouse of the Gary & Interurban, which if let burn, would have destroyed a number of shacks and other properties. "The only thing to do, thought Newman, is to put the fire out myself." 'Til do it" So securing a shovel from one of the employes of the street department he started to pound out the flames. A call had been sent in to the local fire department, but by the time they arrired there was nothing doing. Newman gava them the go-back signal and proceeded to put out a few more sparks that if given a chance might have given the department another run. Hereafter in case that department No. 1 Is busy Just call up No. 2, "Gus Newman's own fire department." , - FEOSTS DO DAMAGE TO BEOADWAY PAVEMENT.

At last the long-waited-for-moment the opening of the steel mills has passed and gone. The number of days remaining to do your Christmas shopping is so small as to be scarcely worth mentioning. Now that you have waited so long the safe and sane shopping days are over and the rush is on. There seems to be sufficient money In circulation in Gary, but the trouble is to get it to circulate our way. The fellow who bought his girl a nice piece of Jewelry at Baldwin's, 660 Broadway, proved he was a wise "Rube." Now that the Armour cold storage plant Is being opened there is no rea son why Gary should go short evening in the time of a railroad strike. -Stirring times , at the local police station. One arrest for, drunk in week. The long looked for arrival of cold weather has not yet appeared and the Gary weather predictor is at a loss to know what to dope out next. Now that the Lake county directories have been installed in the Gary schools, it is hoped that every pupil will be come familiar , with all the names. Officer Gus Newman simply can't get out of the habit of fighting fire. It comes as a second nature to him. The employes of the Indiana Steel company are to get their pay checks the day before Xmas. It is td be hoped that they won't spend it all in one place. Have you selected, the half dozen poor children In Gary to whom you are to be Santa Claus. Keepers of cigar slot machines should be careful how they slumber during working hours. Counterfeit pennies are at large. . , :: The engagement ring. It's just the thing Why study more when Baldwin's store Has toilet sets and you just bet They're right in price and awful nice the line of Hand-Painted China or Jewelery in Gary it's because you haven't seen Baldwin, 660 Broadway. Attorney Harvey Curtis was in Ham mond yesterday on legal business. Frank Borman of Hobart was in Gary yesterday looking after his busi ness interests. Mr. and Mrs. Claude DeGrush have moved into the Bretsch flats near Sev enth avenue on Broadway. The professional men's team of Gary gave the high school boys another try out last night in the latter's gymnasi um and were defeated because of the disadvantage of not having any prac tice. The high school boys played a strong game and feel in good shape for their game tomorrow night. Cut prices on Rubber Ware at the R. & fez. Co., Fifth avenue. tf Attorney H. F. McCracken was in Hammond yesterday on legal business Fred Baldwin, the local Jeweler, was in Chicago yesterday purchasing more Christmas stock. Louis Meketinski of the Mack Real ty company has returned from Elkhardt. South Bend and other cities In the vicinity, where he lias been with his agents for the past few days selling real estate.

WAR N S AGAIN ST PE R J U R Y Judge Reiland Says It Becoming Very Serious. Is (Special to Ths Times.) Indiana Harbor, Dec. 22. With sev eral large bruises on his cranium, Geo. Chirca, an intelligent Roumanian, re siding on Beach street, yesterday told Judge G. E. Reiland that he had been assaulted by two of his countrymen. The three men were arrested Sunday night on a charge of rioting, and at the time the arrest was made, Chirca was In an unconscious condition from the effects of the blows. His allee-eri assailants, Nick Drushon and John Hentes, maintain that they merely Dushed Chirca out of the saloon of Georee Ger man in the Beach street district, and that he must have bumped his head in falling against the door. "That's a lie," interrupted Chirca. "Nick had a pool ball in his hand and threw it at me and John hit me with a bottle of beer." Ha exolalned then that both had taken full effect and that it waa after they had struck him that he was thrown outside of thebulldlng. Judge Reiland was unable to ascer tain the truth from the statements of some ten or twelve bystanders, all of whom were of biased opinions for either the complainant or the the two defendants. The court has issued subpoenas for an additional six witnesses who will give their evidence this afternoon and from whom the court expects to secure the true story in the case. From the present outlook it would appear that there will be several prosecutions against certain of the witnesses on charges of perjury. Judge Reiland declaring that the practice of perjury Is Decoming too common among the foreigners tried in his court and that sud den and forcible action is necessary to put an end to the practice. TOOK LAW IN HIS HANDS Harbor Man Collects Board Money; Pays It to Court. (Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor. Ind., Dec. 22. When Joseph Sassovitch, of Deodar street, at tempted to collect $20 worth of bo&nlmoney, due him from Thomas and John Esnek. two laborers In the emolov of the Inland Steel company, he did not j think that he Would be compelled to pay over the entire amount to Judge Rei land's court. Sassovitch attempted to collect the money due him by novel means. Grasp ing" one Esnek bv the hair and threat ening to throw him out of the window unless he liauidated the indebtedness promptly. Thomas Dromised to nav his share of the $20 and was released, Sas sovitch then turning his attention entirely to John Esnek. Esnek was some what larger than Sassovitch, and the latter decided to use a more persuasive method, so pulling a revolver from his pocket, he threatened to shoot unless John handed over the remaining $10. Of course, John assented, but imme diately caused the arrest of Sassovitch on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. When arrested by a constable from Judge G. E. Reiland' s court, the re volver was still on his person and he could not do otherwise than plead guilty. He was fined $21.40, or $1.40 more than the amount of his claim against the Esnek brothers. He promptly paid the fine and left the court-room. declaring that he had been bunkoed and mat the Esnek brothers could no more And lodging neath his roof.

The rolling of open-eartn rails Is not a complicated process and any well eauiDDed mill nun roll them. It is slower and more ex pensive than makinc Bessemer mil. ana tne railroads are willing to pay $2 more for open-hearth than for Bessemer rails. In Canada the make of th open-hearth rails is about equal to half the total output, which was 300.000 tnn In 1907. Officials Are Uncertain. Railroad officials are by no means unanimous as to the open-hearth over Besserer rails, notwithstanding the irrowth of th now Idea. It is thought by many that the quality of Bessemer rails will be im proved when experiments now being made by the Illinois Steel comnanv urn perfected.

Drawn Up to Be Taken Before Legislature Provides for Appointment of Judge Until Election Can Be Held in Two Years.

The members of the Lake County Bar association, excepting the Gary delegation, met in the superior court room last evening and received the renort of the committee which was appointed to draw, up a bill to be presented at the next session of the state legislature. The bill which was offered is a simnle one and provides simply that the Lake superior court shall consist of two judges Instead of one and that the additional Judge shall be appointed by the governor to fill a term of approximately two years, until an election can be held. This would make it necessary to elect a judffe or the Lake suDerior eourt every two years, although the Judges would serve ror a rour-year term. The members of the bar association received a report from Johanes Kopelke of Crown Point, in which he sed that he was not Quite ready to report his bill for the establishment of a continuous circut court at Crown Point.

He said that he was conferring with the attorneys at Valparaiso, LaPorte and Michigan City with the idea of framing up a measure that would be acceptable to them. As soon as the Crown Point bill is ready steps will be taken to have it presented to the legislature. Steps have not been taken for the purpose of raising money with which to carry the work of lobbying for the bill. The Hammond members of the Lake county bar say that they do not see where any large amount of money could be spent legitimatly in furthering the interests of their measure. Thev sav that they could hire a brass band and parade the streets of Indianapolis, but while this might be a good plan for advertising the city, it would hardly appeal to the legislators as a dignified method of a bar association to lobby for a bill, askine the ostiLhllahm.nt of an additional Judge at Hammond.
