Charles Williamson, living in the south end of Madison street, was severely bitten yesterday afternoon by a bulldog while he was playing in an alley in the rear of his house. The boy was playing with his companions when suddenly the dog rushed up to him and sunk his teeth in his leg. The force of the attack threw him to the ground, where the dog finally relinquished its hold. The young fellow then attempted to take advantage of the opportunity to escape and started to run. This excited the dog still further, and he commenced to take after him. He soon overtook the boy and again grabbed
his leg. His big teeth again sunk
in the boy's leg and held him with a vise-like grip.
Neighbors hurried out of their
houses where they saw the boy strug gling with the animal and finally sue
ceeded in driving it off. The police were notified at once, and the vicious dog was killed. It is not thought that the boy was seriously injured, although some of the ligaments of his leg were
badly torn.

be. connected with Gary, has reached
the point where its right of way crosses
the Walsh road near the Indiana and Illinois state line.

This project is being financed by II.

The Gary police yesterday were disgusted with the action of James Scherd
win, the Hobart man who was robbed, of $.-)0 by two colored women in south end of the city, when he filed an afldavit yesterday to the effect that he did not know whether he had lost the
money, or whether it had been stolen, and that he did not know whether he had missed it while the colored women were with him or not. After his report of the matter to the police, the officers put forth their best efforts to land the two colored women, whom he afterward identified as the ones who were with him.. This the police succeeded in doing and the women were bound over to the superior
court. It appears from the affidavit iln the hands of Henrietta Boone's attorney that Scherdwin would refuse to prosecute her for grand larceny, which might lead to the city's riddance of one of its worst characters. The police say that this is not the first trouble in which Scherdwin of Hobart and his friend, George Hamilton have been. About a year ago these two men were in the city, and after becoming unduly familar with the same two colored women Hamilton was relieved of a smaller amount of money. The women were arrested and Hamilton refused to prosecute. Since the arrest of the Boone woman, the police say that they have seen her frequently with Scherdwin and that the colored women had undoubtedly succeeded in bluffing him out of the prosecution.
