JULIE GROSS BRINGS SUIT FOR DIVORCE Hammond . Woman Brings Serious Charges Against Her Husband. ;

Julia Gross of Hammond has started

proceedings for a divorce against her husband, Ignatz Gross. She alleges that he would strike and beat her and that he would call her vile names, that he is an habitual drunkard, that he would et intoxicated and destroy the family furniture and that when they lived in Everest, Kansas, he drove her out of tha house with her baby in her arms. The parties to the action have two children, Ingelbet and Frank. It is charged that the defendant was frequently caught in uncompromising positions and that when Mrs. Gross remonstrated with him he would tell her that it was none of her business. It is also charged that he visited houses of 111 fame. The plaintiff asks for a divorce and $500 a year alimony. The case is in the hands of Attorney Charles E. Green-wald.

The Chinese restaurant on "West

State stret owned by King Hung Lo

is to be opened for business next Satur day after numerous delays. The res

taurant is to be one of the finest in the city and in view of the fact that

the cooks employed in this place are re

garded as exceptionally good it is ex

pected that the new place will enjoy

a splendid patronage.

The new restaurant is laid out along

the lines of the Chinese restaurants in

Chicago. A great deal of money has

been spent on the furnishings and

decorations.

There is a main front dining room

a rear dining room and a number o

private dining rooms. The kitchen

will be large and complete in its fur

nishings and it is expected that the

new place will be one of the most p6p ular in the city.

JUST A LITTLE

EXCITEMENT, THAT'S ALL

A smudge in the hay used as packing for furniture to be used in the Kennedy Kandy Store in the Citizen's German National Bank building brought the Central and Xo. 4 fire der partments into the business district this noon. The immediate use of chemicals checks the fire before it could make any headway.

Where will I spend my vacation?"

Peter Lyons in the city hall "repeated the question as It was put him, set

tled himself back in his chair, asked

his questioner for a light and after tak

ing a few whin's, said:

"Listen, John Smalley and I have not

definitely decided upon the itinerary, but

that's a matter of detail. After leav

ing this country we expect to spend two or three months ' through Europe. That will bring us well into the fall when we expect to occupy our shooting box in Scotland. If we go into Ireland at all it will' be for the sake of the Blarney stone, but that Is de

tail is I said before. Give me another match please. After finishing our fall shooting on our estate in Scotland we

shall slowly go down the Riviera. Jut Listen To Thtn.

"Going down we may follow the

Riviera di Ponente and coming back the

Riviera di Lavante. The course will be

a mere matter of fancy. Leaving the

continent we go Into Africa for deep winter, making Alexandria our first stopping place, and from thence we'll follow the Nile possibly as far as the Seventh Cataract. That's about as far

as a good democrat ought to venture.

should have mentioned that before

leaving the British Isles we expect to

do a little hunting on the low moors of England.

Now, as to coming back another

match please. "What, no more matches? "Well then we'l stay there."

MYSTERY IN AFFAIR

Gary, Cracks Are Suspected

and Sensational Developments Are Expected.

MANY GiY PEOPLE SEE -T H E B AliLE 0 S AN D DUNES

A number of Gary people , were

spectators of the awful battle that was

fought in the "Sahara desert" yester

day in the sand dunes between Dune

Park and Gary. The bloodless affray was a repetition of yesterday's scene

of "cartage."

The Selig Polyscope company of Chi

cago for whose benefit the desert con

flict was waged left the place much

pleased with the results of the days

work. Director Otis Turner said that

no where on the American continent, excepting perhaps, with certain portions of Utah is such an exact replica

of the hot scorching African desert plains presented. "Why even the cactus of the desert is here," said Mr. Turner. "And the few stray willow trees and the blasted pines give us all of the requirements

of an oasis. Back of this is the high j

sand ridges just as I have seen them in the Sahara." Yeterday an attack of Bedouins of an English camp was enacted. Lead by the white-robed sheik the horsemen of the desert routed the English soldiers in scandalous style. The finale In the scene, a duel between the Arab Sheik and the gallant English officer ellcted many words of anxiety from the bevy of pretty girls ..from Gary. When the sheik knifed the last survivor of the soldiers with his scimitar the girls were observed to cry, so much were they affected. The dying officer even had a locket bearing his sweet-

on his gory

heart's picture danging

breast. Another scene, the final one, was quite exciting. One of the British officers who had been lost In the desert.

Instead of a , gallant, gold-braided dandy, he was now a prowler about with long hair, a streaming beard wild

eyes and wearing a leopard skin. Add

ed effect as given by the big bolo club

he carried. Perhaps a better idea of this individual could be given if one calls to - mind George McGinnity's graphic description and story of the

natives he found roaming about here

when he first scouted around Gary in

the pioneer days of 1906. "They were

just like our aboriginal ancestors, these

native guys wearing tiger skins and

carrying shillelahs which they used to beat their fluzies." McGinnity's de

scription of the prehistoric Garyite

who roamed about here in the shadowy

days of 1905 gives an idea of the man

recorded In the motion pictures yes

terday.

The wild man was finally rescued by the British troops, khaki clad, and

wearing white-tailed helmets. In one of the battle scenes the big war camel took a dislike to a group of Garyites consisting of H. A. Vossler, Dr. White and Photographer Grose and sent them hurrying fast away. There will be no more battles In the Sahara of Dune Park at least for sometime yet to come. Next month Gary theatre goers will see the pictures in the local playhouses.

One of the most daring and my

Gary occurred last evening about midnight in the heart of the business

district of the city when $400 was taken from the safe in Hall's drug

burglars also took a considerable amount of money from the cash reg

REMONSTRATE AGAINST i

STATE LIRE OPENING

William Herbst and his brother Otto are now the owners of the grocery and meat market at 702 Summer street formerly owned by B. Eidner. The latter expects to retire temporarily. William Herbst who was formerly a member of the Hammond fire depart

ment haa been in the Eider store for

nearly a year and has made friends

among the patrons of the store. As a result he hopes to. keep the trade that his predecessor built up, and he in turn promises to be more accomodating

than ever, if possible. .

The remonstrance against the opening of State Line street will be heard before the board of rubllc works tomorrow morning. No one in the city hall would predict just what the sentiment of the affected property owners would be on the question, but the people who have the progress of the city, especially that section which the opening of the street will Improve, hope that the remonstrators will be In the minority. It is almost a foregone conclusion that there will be some objection to the opening of the street, as some of the property owners do not believe in

the equity that they are to receive out of the opening, despite the board's attempt to be equitable In the matter. The proceeding was begun in answer to a popular demand, and tomorrow will tell whether the people are willing to go Into their pockets to carry out the project.

CASE IS CONTINUED. After a hearing in Judge Wlndes court in Chicago regarding the West Hammond election, contest, in which Martin Finneran is a principal, it was decided to continue the case for ten days. This means that the trial will be deferred just that much longer. The contest is being made to see whether the democratic ticket or the citizen" ticket will be declared elected.
