(Special to Thb Times.) Indiana Harbor, Aug. 17. Enthusiasm over base ball in the past, in this city, has been as nothing compared with that which holds Indiana Harbor in thrall since the home team beat Gary two games running. H EG IK A OP FANS. Unless it pours down rain, or there
is an earthquake or a volcanic eruption, Hammond will be treated next Sunday to a spectacle never before witnessed in the history of base ball in all this region. The Indiana Harbor fandom 900 strong will invade the Hammond Athletic Association grounds to watch the local nine do battle with Hammond's team, which until the first victory over Gary would not acknowledge that Indiana Harbor had a base ball team worth reckoning with. Indiana Har
bor Intends to prove next Sunday that
she not only has the best team in all
Lake County, but that she has the most
loyal bunch of fans and true-blue sup
porters of the game to be found in
Northern Indiana. ALL SWEAR BY MATT.
Matt Sternberg, the manager of the
local team has been absolutely swept
off his feet, by the admiring public
since the most recent achievements of
his "boy." Everybody is following him up to tell him that he has-"done noble" and that the team under his manage
ment Is the best ever. Mr. Sternberg takes these assurances of good will
with the same enthusiasm that has characterised his management of the
team under less propitious circum
stances.
Special arrangements will be made or the transportation to Hammond In order that every Indiana Harbor fan may be accommodated with a seat an
parties will go over In machines, by street car and by train. The game will
be called at 3 o'clock.

Public opinion today attributes re
sponsibility for the suicide of Mrs.
William Crawford, a bride of two
months who died at the Carleton hotel last Monday evening by drinking
carbolic acid, on the shoulders of her
husband, because of his brutal and
criminal Indifference.
After hts marriage to the girl at
Crown Point on June 20. he lived with
her mother, Mrs. Stilson, 284 State
street without working until the
mother-in-law finally urged him to get
out and get to work.
Despite their honeymoon he would go out frequently in the evening after his work as bartender in the Carleton
buffet was finished, leaving his bride
to shift for herself. Body Shows Bruises.
Her left eye, her arms and legs show

inflicted to protect himself against her.
In the Carleton hotel, where she was employed even after her marriage as
dining room girl, she told the other employes that she suffered the black
eye from a fall on the stairway, making this statement to hide her humilia
tion and to protect her husband. Crawford lay in bed, knowing that his wife had the deadly poison in a tumbler, having himself refused to drink it, yet he made no effort to take it away from her.

COUPLE WEDDED 31 YEARS SEEJl DIVORCE Story of Marital Infelicity Is Brought to Light by Filing of Case.
One of the saddest of domestic tragedies is revealed by the filing of a
complaint for a divorce by Attorney H. Sickman, In which Cora Arter seeks
a separation from Michael Arter after
they have been married for thirty-one years and have raised a family of elev
en children.
The Arters were married In Wayne county, O., in 1876, the year of the cen
tennial, and were separated Sept. 5,
1907.
of cursing and swearing at her, scold
ing and quarreling with her and calling her vile and indecent names. She says that she was compelled to leave the home she had helped to make and was only able to see her children by stealth. Of the eleven children only four are under age. It is alleged that he Is a blacksmith by trade, and now has a shop at Clark Station. One little bit of humor crept unconsciously Into this recital of unsuccessful married life in the demand that the defendant pay $2 a month for the support of each of the children. This would not look like a large amount except that there are eleven, which would make the amount $22.
Contractor J. H. McClay, one of thel-
leading contractors in the Calumet district, is figuring on several important jobs In this district. Three of the most important jobs total $60,000. The biggest building is one that Henry" Schrage, the well known banker and capitalist, will build in Whiting. The building Is to be two stories hiprh and will cost $30,000 when com
pleted. It is to contain the postofflce, a store and a number of office suites. It will be one of the most attractive buildings in Whiting when completed. McClay is also figuring on the con
struction of the Lincoln-Jefferson College of Law. This building is to be located on South Hohman street and will cost $13,000 to $20,000. Another job which McClay has on the string Is the Chicago telephone exchange at Calumet. This building will cost about $10,000 and will take
care of the exchanges in both Kast Chicago and Indiana Harbor. McClay says there are several other jobs of less importance. At present he is at work on the remodeling of the Towle ' building in Hammond, which is to be occupied by one of the largest mercantile establishments in "the region.

The members of the Jewish synagogue in Hammond have purchased the old Christian church on Indiana avenue from the trustees of that church and will occupy It in the future. The Jewish people of the city own some proeprty on Indiana avenue, which they hope to dispose of to secure funds with which to buy a site for a new church. However, the old Christian church will serve the purpose for the time being and services will now be he'ld there on Saturdays, the Jewish day of worship. It is understood that the consideration was $1,500. The Jewish people expect to occupy their new church for a time and later on it is understood that a building project will be inaugurated.

REPORTER TELLS MAN HIS WE IS DEAD
A Times reporter this morning gave George Tuttle, who is a porter at the Emil Schultz' saloon, corner of State street and Oakley avenue, the first information that his wife was dead and that the body lay In the Stewart morgue. The woman died late last night. It was news to the old man, but It was news that he had rather expected. In the three weeks that she lay in the hospital her husband visited her once, this being last Monday evening. Ha said his physical condition did not permit him to visit her again, although he rather expected that she would die. He said that he was unable to care for her burial, and the expense will very likely be defrayed by the county. Tuttle said that his only children are three girls, two of whom live in Massachusetts and one In Connecticut, and that It had been a lone time since thw

closing up the entire business of M. Ruhstadt In this city. Attorney Hamlin of Chcago, representing some of the Chicago creditors of the failed concern, came to Hammond Monday and proceeded to sell the stock of the store' at auction. Wm. Stieglitz was the highest bidder at $512. Then Julius Taussig, who served a
terest of some of the other creditors.
came In and declared that the sale was illegal. He said that Attorney Hamlin dtid not have a bond, as the law requires a non-resident attorney to have. Taussig then held his sale on Tuesday morning, and again Stieglitz was the highest bidder, but he was compelled to pay more than the $512, which he first bid. There were a number of other bidders.
The Tuttles have lived in Hammond for sixteen years, the husband having come from Chicago as an employe in the distillery.
