1 HI OF CRIPPLE

Brothers Get Him Out of the Way After Collecting on His Pay Check, Steal His Clothes and Leave the Town.

(Special to The Timks.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Oct. 27. Henry Spitz, who has been watchman at the Kniversal Portland Cement company's plant at Buffington, was the victim yesterday of about as mean a trick as iould be played on a man who is a rriprle. Spitz. William Williams and the latters brother have been occupying a room together at the Iako Shore hotel, and as Spitz had been laid off n few days, and yesterday morning? when Williams, who also worked at the cement plant, started to work Spitz requested him to get his check for him, yesterday being pay day at Buffington. Spits gave Williams an order for his pay check and also his brass number check, so that the latter would have no trouble In obtaining the pay check. When Williams returned to the hotel at noon he told Spitz the bookkeper at the plant refused to give him the check and that Spits would have to go there himself in order to get it, and advised Spitz that he had better go Immediately after dinner. About 1 o'clock Spitz started for Buf

fington and Williams went upstairs and packed all of Spitz's clothes in a valise, belonging to fhe latter and with his brother caught the 1:55 train on th I-afce Shore for South Chicago. When Spitz got to the plant he found

that Williams had been given the l-.eck. eo he started hotfoot back to

the hotel, where he learned that VV U-

lian-M had left town.

James Kroupa at once called up the poll.-A station, and Spitz "hurried over there to give Sergeant John Quinlftn a rlTtion of the thieves. Sergeant

Or.ir.Jan Immediately called up the po

lice department at the la Salle station

in Chi. ago and notified them to be on j

th. lookout for the men, but as the train had arrived there some time before hey could find nothing of them. Mr. Kroupa called up the local agent at the I.ke Shore depot, who said he remembered the men and they had bought tickets for South Chicago. Mr. Kr.'upa then gave Spitz, who was without p. cent, a dollar and started him on the 3:36 train for Knglewood to look out for the men. who had said they were going to take the Fere Marquette f.ir Detroit. Mr. Kroupa also sent his porter, who knew the brothers. to

South Chicago to identify them In case tl:.- South Chicago police, who had been notified, had caught them. .When they left Will Wiiiams wore n light brown soft hat, grayish raincoat with black lining, dark green 8u it and tan shoes. He is about 5 feet 7 irtche stall, smooth face, of dark complexion and has black hair. His brother is about the same height, M--ighs about lt5 pounds, lias smooth face with a number of pimples, medium colored hair and wore a black derby hat, light striped suit, tan shoes and no overcoat. There are others besides Mr. Spitz , mourning the departure of the Williams boys, as Mr. Mitchell of the Harbor hotel Is shy about $23 on their account.

With an enormous vote the Gary pri-

et is now in the field complete. The total number of ballots cast yesterday were 1.653, with no votes cast in the Fifth ward, where the choice of William Wolf was made unanimous. This would make the aldermanic vote greater than that at the mayoralty primaries, which tends to show an increase of at least 500 votes and makes certain the election of John Brennan and almost the entire republican ticket.

Fourth ward John Siemlasko, 5; J. Keseric. 62; L. M. Wyszynskl, 20; ballots destroyed, 10. Fifth ward William Wolf, unanimous. A'ote Inaurra Republican Sneeeaa. The vote at this primary was marvelous considering that only the ward councilmen were to be selected. It assures a total republican vote of far over 2,000. and with the probable voting strength of the city, not more than 3.500. there can be but little question about republican victory next Tuesday. The heaviest fight, of course, was In the First and Second wards. Ia the First Mitchell Duchich was defeated by Emerson Bowser by 94 votes out of a

total of 474. The race was in doubt at all stages of the game, and no one ventured to make a guess at the outcome. In the Sf-cond ward Rowley seemed to have it on Hall without question, and the vote caused little surprise. Many Bnllota TTiroTrn Ont. With the simple ballot, with only two names to select from in the First ward, there was forty ballots thrown out. Some of these were mutilated in a ter

rible manner as the supporters of some of the candidates were not satisfied

with merely making- a cross In the

square opposite their candidates' name. Anthony Baukus. as expected, had a walkaway in the Third ward, beating his opponents 3 to 1. John Keseric was defeated by 13 votes in the Fourth by Syiemiasko. If the polls had been open two hours longer than they were 200 more votes would have been cast. Many were standing in line on the south side waiting to vote when the polls were closed. Many were unable to get out of the mill because their foremen re

fused to let thc-m go for a councilmanic primary. There were also but few carriages hired to get out the vote, and consequently but a low percentage of the republican vote was cast.

The delay In building this bridge has meant much to the city of Gary, as many of the persons residing south of the river have been unable to trade at the local stores and have been greatly inconvenienced thereby. Real estate men who own property south of the river have also had a hard time contending with the lack of a bridge, the drive around It covering a distance of some ten miles.

Democrats Win. A fair sized crowd gathered last night at the Washington skating rink, corner of Eighth avenue and Washing

ton street, to witness the Indoor baseball game between the republican and democratic teams. The result of the contest was that the democratlo team won a decisive victory over the republican nine by a score of 18 to 9. The victorious team was made up of old-time baseball players, while in the republican team there were many recruits. The game was exciting all the way through, and furnished much amusement to the spectators during the evening. This is the first game to be played at the skating rink. Others will follow in th near future.
