Gary Is Scene of Violent
Affair Last Night Man Is Knocked Insensible and Put on Car Tracks to Be Run Over.
One of the most brutal' and murder-
ous assaults that has taken place In Gary for. many months occurred last
night near' Twenty-second and Washington street, when three foreigners attacked Mila Wilotz, and after beat
ing him into insensibility they placed him on the car tracks with the hopes that a car would run over him " and cover up their1 brutal work.
William Uhe, the gateman for . the
Pennsylvania railroad, was the man
who discovered Wilotz on the street car tracks. If it had not been for the
fact that the last car had been in the
barns the -three men would probably ahve accomplished their murderous
purpose. Was Unconscious.
When Uhe found Wilotz the man was
unconscious and nearly frozen. His head was a mass of cuts and bruises
ana tne watchman at first thought a
car had run over him. The uncon
scious man was picked up and taken to a nearby house where his Identity
was learned and his brother, Tony
Wilotz, , was sent for.
The local police station was notified and Captain Gus Newman and sev
eral officers were dispatched in the patrol to the , scene and Wllotz was later taken to the Mercy hospital where
Dr. Faulds dressed his injuries. The man's head was bruised so badly that It was necessary to take twelve stitches
in his head
A short time afterward Wllotz gained consciousness and a few facts concerning the assault were learned. He gave the names of his assailants and by the effective work of the police the three
men were arested. They are: Mike
Mistovich, 26 years old; George Petro
vich, 22 years old, and George Velots,
23 years old. They were taken to the
police station and are being held pend-

(Special to Ths Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Jan. 14. C. E.
Palmer, the new superintendent of the
South Shore interurban ' lines, was a
visitor to Indiana Harbor yesterday afternoon. Mr. Palmer was over the
local division In company with Di
vision Superintendent Parsons and Inspected the road and took stock 0f the service.7 He promises great things for
the East ' Chicago-Indiana Harbor branch of the line and has recently issued an order that will be hailed
with acclaim by every patron of this
division of the lines. The order gives to the Indiana Harbor-East Chicago branch the same rights that prevail on
the main line and already the effects of the same have manifested them
selves in the schedule of the Harbor
cars. The latter, by the new order, are no longer obliged to wait on through cars as formerly, and the result is that when the cars have not been- put out of commission altogether
by the snow and ice they have been
Vlinnir.g on schedule time, a thing
that has rarely been true of the service in the past.
Mr. Palmer has assumed the position
of Superintendent Buchanan, and his
authority extends over the entire sys
tem of the South Shore. He began his duties with the beginning of the new
year, coming from- Pottsville, Pa., where he was in the employ of the Eastern Pennsylvania Railway com
pany.

The loss is not yet known, as the firemen were still trying to smother the flames at the time of going to press. It is not known how the fire started, but it is likely that some one may have been loafing in the basement and accidentally started the blaze. The fire is directly under the Sentinel newspaper office, which is located on the first floor. The last report was to the effect that the firemen had the blaze under control.

THE IRK
The recent unstable weather is given as the cause for the day in the com
pletion of the Gary & Interurban
tracks beween Hammond and Gary. About two miles of steel were still to be laid a week ago, but little progress has been made since. The company has up to Feb. 1 to get lnxo operation and
unless more delays set In it is thought
that this can be accomplished.'
While the company hopes to complete Its track-laying within another week, additional time is required in
which to ballast it.
Attorney Frank N. Gavit, president of the company, has been in New York for a number of days, presumably on
business for the company.
I bier on Case. Chief Martin this morning began to
work on the case and it was learned that about ten days ago the three men had Tony Wllotz, a brother of the in
ured man, arrested for assault. Wilotz
was fined and as they were leaving the
ourt room, Wllotz swore at the men
and said that some time the two brothers would get even with them. It
is thought that the Stur men met last night and a quarrel ensued in which
the three men pounced upon their victim and beat him up. ,
A trail of blood on the white snow
could be seen for about fifty yards where the men-dragged Wilotz's body
to the street car tracks. It Is not thought Wilotz's injuries will prove
fatal. v . .
The preliminary hearing of the three

THIRD
GAME 0
SERIES
The third game of the billiard tour
nament was played last night in the
TJmpIeby &, Decker billiard rooms at
Gary, Ingersoll . winning his second gaie. This, game was won from Woods in a close contest, the loser- being beaten by one point, the score at
the end of the game being 125 to 124
The playing during the game was so close that at no time during the contest
was there a difference of ten points
between the two players. The finish
was the most exciting that has been
sen in a local tournament for some time. With eight points to make at the finish Woods ran six, and Ingersoll followed this with a run of eight, leaving him two to go also. Each one of them then made one billiard, . Woods missed a hard shot and Ingersoll won the game on a three cushion. The average was 1 1-3. A game will be played this evening between Peltier (200) and Kidd (125.)
years in the history of the city. There is not . a single adverse sign and the present indications are that there will be more business done in Hammond in the spring than there has been done in any two years before.
Installation Tomorrow. The installation of officers in the G. A. R. will take place tomorrow evening at 7:30 in the rooms on the third floor of the First National bank building, In Hammond.

Another victory for the invincible Baptist Athletic club, this making the eighth straight victory, by winning
over the fast Bessemer Park five by a small margin of one' point last night at the Bessemer Park, gymnasium- in South Chicago. Playing under a handicap the B. A. C. "of Hammond defeated the South Chicago five in a hard-fought and strenu
ous game by a margin of but one point. The forwards on the Hammond team were handicapped by the fact that the backboards, which are usually made of wood, were made of wire, it being difficult work for the forwards of the Hammond nine to make baskets. The . excellent work of Buettner and Parker, the two guards on the B. A. C. team, is all that saved them from defeat. Their defensive work against the South Chicago team in keeping them from making baskets and holding them to the low score was easily the feature, and also won the game for Hammond, as the forwards could not
make the baskets, they being unused to
the wire backboards. In all probability the Hammond five would have
run up a large score on the South Chi
cago team had the backboards been
made of wood.
: The South Chicago team put forth every ounce of physical energy in an effort to win the game and also used eight, men, putting in three .fresh play
ers in the second halg, while the Hammond team used the same lineup throughout the game. In the first half the Baptists led with one point, which counted them a victory, but the best they could do in the second half was to hold the Bessemer Park five to a tie. The Baptist five is one of the fastest
teams in this part of the region and
have defeated nearly every opposing team in these parts. George Wall, the referee for the teams, certainly deserves credit for the way in which he handled the game last night, and his decisions were perfectly satisfactory to both teams. On many occasions it was left to the referee and not once was he partial to either side. Another one of those Interesting games will be played next Thursday evening when the East Chicago team will endeavor to break the winning streak of the Baptist club. The game will be played at the Baptist gymnasium on State street, and a large crowd Is expected. The last game between these two teams was won by the B. A. C. by a margin of three points. The lineup: Bessemer Park Willlams-Gerber, rf;
Mathews, G. Thompson, If; A. Thompson. G. Thon-mson. c: Stein, rg; Ram

Condition Improved. Tomorrow night at the Washington skating rink will occur the first game of the basketball of the season for the local high school, and a large crowd are expected to be present. The opposing team Valparaiso high school will be here with a large crowd of rjtoters, who will arrive in Gary on the 6:49 Pennsylvania train. The game, it is expected, will be a hard fought one, as the local team is determined to win from the Valparaiso five, if possible. The Valparaiso team
comes to Gary with one of the fatest teams that ever played here, and they also expect to go home with the honors. The game will commence at 8 o'clock, and It is hoped a large crowd will be present to root for the home team.
