GARY RELATIVES WILL KELP BIS Will Contribute Toward Defense of Brothers on Trial for Murder. (Special to Thb Times.) Waukegan, 111., Dec. 15. The trial of the Bale brothers for murder is now in progress in the circuit court. A jury was secured in the unusually quick time of three hours. A strong fight will be made to free the two defendants. It is understood that relatives ia Gary, Ind., have declared their belief in the innocence of the Baics and will put up all the money necessary to make the strongest possible defense. The Baics are. alleged to hav killed a man in a fight on the- south side ott May 16th. The name of the man killed was Ignatz Mazowlcz. The aBlcs are alleged to have done the crime and were captured only after a long pursuit, in which hundreds of south slders, who constituted themselves a posse, took part. It was declared in the circuit court that one of the Bale brothers, who are being tried for the murder of Ignatz Maziowlcz, is the man who threatened to murder Sheriff Griffin about a month before the murder took place. It will be remembered that John Redding, who lives north of Waukegan, had called upon the sheriff to oust the men from his property. He said that they were hunting there and that they would not leave the place. The sheriff went to the scene of the trouble, but both men are said to have pointed their guns at him and threatened to shoot, if he did not go away and leave them alone. The sheriff made no attempt to use force, but finally persuaded them that the wisest course would "be to go away peaceably. Drimlnfc the 1,1 ne. Babies who are too sweet-tempered to protect themselves by crying and being cross about it have to endure a good deal in the way of being kissed by a host of relatives and friends with whom they are not acquaitned. A story of a little maiden who finally as. serted her rights is related in a western paper. She was only three years old, and it was her first visit to a number of relatives. Aunts, uncles, and cousins crowded round her and kissed her over and over again. She stood it patiently, and gave every kiss that was asked for without demur. After a while, when she had run the gaunlet of affectionate relatives, Uncle Tom said, "Now baby, I'll take you out to see the cow." Outside the door she stopped and shook her little head. "Uncle Tom," she said, "I won't kiss the cow!" And Uncle Tom took pity upon her and did not insist. Youth's Companion. TF YOU THINK THAT THE TIMES IS TRYIXQ TO GIVE!
