(Special to Thb Times.) Crown Point. InJ., May 12. The helpless cry of a new born baby girl, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August Hildebrant of Main street. Crown Point, reached the ears of Major, a Newfoundland dog of magnificent proportions, owned by Dick. Kilborn. The big fellow was passing the house on somo mission known only to himself. At the sound of the baby's cry he stopped. The utter weakness of the little human which had just been brought into the world seemed to make an irresistible appeal to the big. lumgerlng canine. He seemed to think, if a dog can think, that he was neded to aid in protecting the little being whose cries were so distressing. With an aparent determination to become the baby's protector, the dog took up a place on the front porch of the

Mr. Hildebrant though the dog would tire of his vigil and went into the house. "When he oame out he was surprised to
find him still on the front porch. He remained there all night long and the
next day Mr. Hildebrant made an ef
fort to drive him away. The dog was obstinate, however, and refused to move. Finally out of pity Mr. Hildebrant gave him his dinner. That is all
in the p5st now.
Day after day the dog made Mr.
Hlklebrant's front porch his resting
place. When he heard the baby's cry he pricked up his ears and wagged his tail. The first time the baby was tak
en out of the house the dog followed it down the street. All efforts of Dick Kilborn to recover him were unavail
ing.
His strange attachment for the baby
became the talk of the little town of Crown Point. Hundreds of people walked around on Main street to see Dick Kilborn's Newfoundland dog on guard
at the Hildebrant residence. Dog's Knme Spreads.
People even heard of the strange case
in the surrounding towns of Hammond,
Gary and Lowell, and whoever went to Crown Point made it a point to go around and see the big dog which had
taken it upon itself to protect a little one in a time of its greatest weakness.
Yesterday Major was taken suddenly sick. It became aparent that he had been poisoned. Mr. Hildebrant did all he could to relieve hts suffering, but he dropped dead in front of Heide's store. The indignation of the people of Crown Point towards the unknown perpetrators of the outrage was expressed on all sides. Today Crown Point is in mourning for Major. Never in the history of Lake
county has a dog been given so much notoriety and has a dumb animal come to be so generally loved. Not only because of his immense proportions, but because of his love for the little baby girl which has been so recently brought into the world. Mr. and Mrs. Kilborn had just made arrangements to have a picture of the do gand the baby taken together when the untimely end of dear old Major put an end to their plans. There will be no bells tolled for Major, but hundreds of people are mourning his death.

TIMES' BUREAU AT THE STATE CAPITALIndianapolis, Ind., May 12. The school book men who have been hanging around waiting for the state board of education to award the contracts for the school books for the schools of Indiana for the next five years have spent and are still spending much of their time in the hotel lobbies cussing and discussing Governor Marshall, who.
by butting into the matter, as they put it, has been the means of probably saving the people many thousands of dollars in a gouge that was attempted. They say Governor Marshall is in a
class all by himself as a school book
anti-trust agitator. The governors
sudden calling of the board's attention
to the Macrrilllan company's contract
concerning the Tarr and McMurray elementary geographies has been the
chief topic of conversation among the
school book men. And, by the way
fragments of their expressed opinions
have reached the governor. CaU Him a "Buttinski."
He s the damndest governor I ever ran up against in all my experience as a book man," said one of the agents.
"When he goes into that board of book
commissioners its like a bull going into a China shop, and when he goes out he leaves just about as much of a
wreck I have always been used to treating the adoption of a school book as a sort of 'star chamber' matter, but this governor comes out of the room, and when he finds a newspaper man
waiting for him he takes him Into his office and tells him everything that took place in the meeting. Then.
whenever, he has anything which he thinks ought to be said about the book contract he calls a newspaper man into his office and tells him about It. He does not seem to think there is any
thing about making a book contract
that ought to be kept quiet." Tells Every! Iilnjt o thr People.
"Its a different deal from any I have ever had in the book business," said another. "Usually all the details are
looked after on the side, and the news papers are not expected to get any thing about what is going on until aft
er the preliminary work has all been done and the contract is let. Here you have a governor that evidently believes there is nothing the newspapers ought not to know about it. I shall not be
surprised If he asks the board to ad
mit a newspaper man to the meeting next Friday, when the board is to
agree upon an adoption.
May Enforce Old Contract. The board will meet Friday morn
ng and will take up Attorney General
Bingham's opinion to the effect that the Macmillan company, supplying the
Tarr and McMurray elementary geogra
phies at 30 cents, can be compelled
to continue furnishing the books a
that price. There has been no such
widespread objection to) the geogra
phies that the board feels they should
be discarded, and It is thought that any
attempt to supplant them at this time
with a book which will cost 45 cents
when, in the opinion of the attorney
general, they can still be had for .1
cents, will be so daring a step that th board will not think of t.iklng It.
"If this board adda 15 cents to th
cost of that book when it Is known
that it can be had for its present price
the members will have a mighty har
time explaining to tne thousands o
people who are compelled to bu
them, said Governor Marshall, vester
day.

Samuel Shearer, 25 Years
Old, Formerly of Joliet, Cannot Be Located and Friends Fear for His Well Being. (Special to Thb Timec.) Joliet, 111., May 12. Samuel Shearer,
25 years old, a lineman employed in
Gary for some time, is now missing frim his home In Joliet and has not been seen recently in Gary, leading the authorities to believe that he might
have met the same fate as Theodore
Merrill, whose body was found in the
river at Joliet. Shearer has been employed at Gary In the Indiana Steel
ml -Is.
Shearer was in the habit of leaving
Gary Saturday nights and spending
Sunday at Joliet with his aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Goodrich, who reside at 108 Rldgewood avenue. As usual he came home Saturday a week ago and went down town that evening.
He did not return and has not been seen since in Gary.
Mrs. Goodrich said this morning that
she and the rest of his relatives feared
he had met a similar fate to Merrills.
When he left home he had about $5 in
his pocket. The theory is that the man was murdered for his money, and like Merrill they cast his body Into the
river. It is believed that a thorough
search will be instituted in Gary to ob
tain some trace of the man there if possible.
Attorneys Harris and Bretech. representing Sam Bojnovich. who was bound over to the Lake superior court without bail Monday by Judge A. C Huber, will seek a writ of habeas corpus before Judge Virgil S. Reiter this afternoon. The release of the prisoner is sought on the grounds that the evidence In the case showed plainly that the defendant was attempting to prevent the killing of Nick Rebreca instead of being an accessory as he was charged. Attorney Bretsch believes that the evidence showed that the defendant was Justified in asking for a reasonable
bond at least. Mr. Bretsch states that If Judge Reiter will fix a reasonable bond that this will be furnished by friends of the boarding-house keeper and that the defendant will be released pending his trial. Ureenwsld Shows Intent. The evidence which was introduced in the hearing before Judge Huber will be reviewed in the superior court and if the Judge decides the evidence does not awrrant th holding of the prisoner without ball, the decision of the Justice will be moderated. Prosecuting Attorney Greenwald charges that Bojnovich fully Intended
to kill Rebraca, but that Lemcek happened to fire the shot first which killed him. Both went back to their shacks that night, secured revolvers and reentered the house of their countrymen, intent upon seeking revenge.

Lawyers hired by the saloonkeepers have been busy for the past three or four weeks obtaining evidence as to the manner in which the signatures were secured, and formal affidavits to that effect. The only manner in which the saloons can win their case Is by proving that a sufficient number of signers are not legal and qualified voters. Judge Reiter has already ruled that these Individual names must be procured and presented to court, and the fact that one man Is not a legal voter does not llegalUe the entire remonstrance. The Informant of The Times states that he does not know how soon it is planned to arrest Mr. Bryan and Rev. Deuel, that depending upon when the evidence can be procured.

(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., May 12. John Klenskl of 3603 Deodor street has not a great deal to be thankful for, but he is grateful for one circumstance. That is, that having to go to the penitentiary, he is already there beforo his crime is fairly cold. John committed a burglary last Sunday morning. On Monday he was brought before Mayor le Briae, pleaded guilty and was bound over to the superior court at Hammond, Tuesday he received his trial and today ho is taking a slant at his new quarters in the state penitentiary in Michigan City. Klenski's crime consisted in breaking into the saloon of I "Wogrzin, in Cedar street, near One Hundred and Thirty-seventh, early Sunday morning, where he broken open the cash register, taking therefrom the sum of $15. He had been seen hanging about the place during the evening and was at once suspected and arrested. He admitted his
guilt and tried to Implicate two other men in the crime, but finally weakened on his story and took the burden wholly upon his own shoulders. Jn consideration for his confession and his willingness to plead guilty he was given a speedy trial and now he Is reflecting between jabs at the stone pile on the futility of breaking the laws of his adopted country. A pitiful feature of the Incident was the grlof of the young man's aged mother, who spent the morning on Monday about the city hall, weeping and bemoaning the fate of her son.
