SEEM Christ Erlenbach Fnds That His Wife, Who Has Not Been Resident of Indiana For Two Years, Brings Divorce Proceedings Christ Erlenbach arrived In Ham mond this morning very much wrought up over the fact that his wife had filed proceedings for a divorce in the Lake superior court during his absence from the city. He stated that his wife has not been a resident of the state of Indiana for two years,' as is alleged in the com plaint, and as is required by law before divorce proceedings may be started. He said that he expected to be served with a summons In the case, but had received no n'otice. He was informed that this was probably due to the fact that he was out of the city and that he had been given notice by publlca tion. Erlenbach said that he would never have known of the effort that his wife li making to get a divorce If some of his friends had not seen an account of the filing of the case in Thb Times. Another Case on Tab. It is understood that in another di vorce case, which has recently been filed, the attorney did not hesitate to allege that the plaintiff had been a resident of the staet for two years when the facts are that she had been living in South Chicago part of the time. Erlenbach stated that he would have an attorney make an appearance In this case and that the proceedings would be set aside on the grounds that the plaintiff has not been a resi dent of the state for the required length of time. The complaint in the Erlenbach case i ws filed by Attorney John M. Stin back's eeSTs' to secure a-.divorce from Christ Erlenbach. It Is alleged that they were married April 4. 1899, and were separated Jan. 3. 1910. It is charged that the de fendant failed to support his wife, that he acquired the drink ' habit, that he remained away from home for three days at a time. The plaintiff asks for the custody of her children Nyle, aged 10, and Kenneth, aged 5. iti A deadly duel was fought at midnight between two Gary men with razors and pistols as the instruments of destruction. A woman was at the bottom of the affair and because Sam Olen and Messina Marina love the same girl in far away Italy both will probably give up their lives. Use Bullets and Rasors. Near the union depot was where the death battle took place. Both emptied the full contents of their pistols at each other and the leaden pellets plowed through both. Then each took out his razor and each horribly- slashed the other until the vicinity was covered with blood. The Fight Was Terrible. Bystanders who heard the pistol shots, the shrieks, the cries and the groans ruhed to the pot, but the fight (Continued on page seven.) LAKE COUNTY PIOflEER DIES CALIFORNIA (Special to Thb Times.)

East Chicago, Is about to canvass the situation among the Knights of Columbus of UnitJ council for an expression of sentiihnent among the members as to the feasibility of building a Knights of Columbus home in Hammond. This committee printed circular letters whlcll will be sent out early next week, in which the project will be laid before the members individually. Among the men of affairs In the council there is a strong sentiment for immediate action in the way of building a home, but the situation is to be canvassed primarily to learn as to how much stock each member would subscribe for. If the returns are such as to encourage the committee, the project will be taken up in earnest with the idea of materializing the plans as soon as possible, The plans for the present are still rather indefinite as to the specifications for the home. There is a question as to vhether it should be located in or immediately near the business district, with the idea of devoting one floor to commercial use or whether the home should be for the use of the Knights of Columbus exclusively and be situated outside of the business district. The membership of Unity council is nearly 300 strong, and includes all the Knights of Columbus in Lake county outside of those in the Gaijy council. NEW CASES IN CIRCUIT COURT. Crown Point.

The chances arc, however, that none of the racers will take the risk of j flying over a territory in which there are not convenient landing places. The first lanUlng will be at.Laporte and the second at South Bend. The Hammond Automobile- assocla tlon will start a smudge at Douglas I Park to point the way to the passing aviators.

A piece of Democratic literature which has found its way into a number of Indiana Democratic papers is Just now raising a lot of trouble, because of the manner in which it casts reflections on the foreign vote. The part of the article which Is referred to reads as follows: "Because of the lack of money in the hands of the Republican state central committee, all politicians expect to see a very light foreign vote in Gary, Terre Haute, Fort Wayne, South Bend and other cities this fall. There is not much use to talk about voting the-aver age Hunyak unless you talk to him over a keg of booze or with some money in sight, is the concensus of opinion among politicians, and since there i not enough of the latter to buy much of the former, the politicians are not j counting much on tne ignorant class of voters. And with them eliminated this year, the Democrats feel that there Is little question of the Democrats being able to pile up state majorities." MARRIAGE LICENSES. (Special to Thb Times.)
