East Chicago, Ind., Oct. 4. Look who's here in our midst! None other than Officer Albert Lewis, former chief of police and ex-alderman, but yester- i day appointed to the position of patrol- . man by Mayor A. G Schlieker. j Yes. sir! He's on the police force now, da-de-de-da: And to him the people have to bow. With his club in his ' hand he certainly looks grand, for he's on t-'-e police force now, dade-de-da. j It all came about through the resignation of Officers Pete Duma and Nick Meyers. The former is desirous of en- I gaging in business and Mr. Meyers has private affairs which he wishes to attend to, also of a business nature, and with which his duties as an officer conflicted. Time hung heavy on the exlittle big chief's hands since he quite his job on the force, so presto! Pete and Nick Step out, Albert steps in. I But Albert is not the only new acquisition to give distinction to the department. Another celebrity In the
persons of Ed. Klopf. formerly marsha' of Miller and who gained an enviable reputation for himself and for his town in that capacity. Is the second officer added to fill the vacancies created by the two resignations. Either of the new appointees is a host In himself. Mr. Klopf has lived in East Chicago for some time and will be welcomed as an officer here. ; Both retiring officers resigned of their own motion and their loss is regretted. Nick Meyers has served the longer time on the force, and had a record for being an all around good off! cer. Pete Duma's time was shorter.
but his bravery in facepf danger, and
his good judgment, made him a valuable man on the police force. j
