(Special to TuA Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Dec. 24. As a jfclimax to as nice a piece of detective .work as has ever been accomplished in Lake county, Officer Mike Gorman, of Jthe local department, last night arrestied Edward Sailer, a resident of this city, on a charge of attempting to commit robbery. Sailer was found on Pennspyrvania avenue, fact-to-face with L. Mark, a foreigner and demanding the latter to share with him the proceeds of a $40 check, which had just been
cashed. His demands were made more
forcible by the use of a 22-calibre revolver , which he shoved under Mark's tie? 3. In the arrest of Sailer, Chief of Po
lice Higgins believes that the author of many mysterious hold-ups in Indiana Harbor has been located. Suspicion was laid at Sailer's door several nights ago
and his steps were shadowed by Officer
Gorman in plain .clothes. Last night,
the suspect was seen on Pennsylvania
avenue in company with his prospec
tive victim and the policeman instantly
decided that "something was doing." Fallows Ills Victim.
Following closely behind the pair, trom fragments of their conversation
lie learned that Sailer was trying to get possession of the foreigner's pay
check, issued by the Inland Steel com
pany. Mark refused to deliver the check, but said that he would cash it
himself and then buy a few drinks
With this in 'view, the couple headed for Cohen's Auditorium buffet, -tfhere the money was received. Mark then
declared that he would not purchase! any drinks except at his boarding place on Pennsylvania avenue, a wellknown saloon. When but a few feet away from this place, Officer Gorman saw Sailer grasp his companion by the threat and again make demand for the money. The foreigner, surprised at seeing the sudden display of nerve on the part of Sailer, managed to "break away and grasped the door of his boarding house, Sailer In close pursuit. Just as he was about 'to re-Iterate His demands, and threatening to shoot Mark he made an out
cry. Officer Gorman took a hand in the
little game.
Showing his star, and shoving thrs
cold, blue muzzle of the large colt revolver under the fellow's nose. Officer Gorman commanded him to "hand over his weapons, which Sailer did with alacrity. He was then marched to the city jail and afterwards taken to East Chicago by Chief Higgins. ' 1 Offers an Excuse. Here Sailer declared that Mark had atttacked him and that he was only using his revolver, in self protection. He afterwards changed his tactics and said that he just wanted to see how badly he could scare his companion. In the light of past events, however, Chief Higgins does not believe that the man

Although the W. B. Conkey com
pany Is rushed to death with business and has orders enough ahead to last
for the next nine months, Mr, Convey has decided to give hi employes a ya- ,
cation oyer the Christmas holidays, until Monday. Mr. Conkey says that business has not been so goo4 In the
last five years as It is now. and at this Christmas holiday season he points with pardonable pride to the fact that
his plant ran all through the recent hard times and employed a number of people while others were shut down. The Inland Steel company at Indiana Harbor plans to close down today and will open again until Monday.' This will give- the men a fine 1 Christmas holiday vacation and will be : greatly appreciated. . - ' ; Many of the other Industries in Indiana Harbor will also close and so far as it is possible to learn Saturday will
be as much' of a holiday as Christmas In most of the cities of the region. ".
All of the churches In the region are
planning more or less elaborate Christ
mas exercises and there will be a Jolly
time in store for the little folks In scores of Sunday schools. . The Xmas spirit is abroad In the land." -

is the happiest man -in Hammond . today. He has ' received a Christmas present from the school teachers of North township which he says is fit for the president of the United States. But it is not its intrinsic value, as great as that is, so much as the fact that he is remembered by the school teachers over whom he has had con
trol during the past four years. The present, which Mr. Schaaf has received from the school teachers is a massive, solid brass, desk set. This consists of a bookholder, a match box
holder, cigar rest and ash tray com
bined, a paper knife, a curved blotter
holder, a stamp box, an ink well, a
spindle, a wax sealing o'utfit,' an im
proved paper weight and metal blotter
corners.
All of these articles were of the
heaviest brass and Mr Schaaf, himself,
says that nothing could have been pur
chased that would have been more to
his liking. : Remembered By Beverldge.

Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can - be taken out and this tube restored to ita normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is noth. ing but an inflated condition of th mucous surfaces.

rolling mill. He has not worked for
some time, however, finding it much easier to take other people's money than work honestly for his own. His little escapade, of last night, however, may prove his undoing, and it looks very much as though he will have to spend at least ' two years of his life in the Michigan City prison. The man's home Is said to be in Sharon, Pa., where he ha,s well-to-do parents residing. He asked last evening that the news of his arrest be retained from that city as long as possible, least It should effect the health of either of his parents.

gash, about four Inches in length un

Ansley, who took charge of the case.
Bell was. removed to St. Margarets hospital in Hammond, where Dr. Ansley reported that an operation would probably be necessary.
