The people of Lake county are not a whit surprised at the outcome of the

alleged East Chicago graft and conspiracy cases.

Indeed, they would have been paralyzed with amazement had any other

action been taken in these suits than just what took place.

Criminal prosecutions of this nature in Lake county have so come to be one swift succession of farces intermixed with burlesque that sober-minded folk like the ox hitched to the cart, patiently plod along, wincing under the

gad now and anon, but suffering it all.

These costly courts, these expensive trials and the extravagant manipula

tion of all this legal machinery are all paid for by the taxpayers of Lake county. Taxes get higher every year in both county and municipality. The

IS SCHLIEKER VINDICATED?

Is Mayor A. G. Schlieker of East Chicago vindicated as a result of the

failure of the prosecutions against himself and the members of his adminis

tration? He thinks heis.

The word vindicate has some fine shades of meaning. The definition of

'the word as. given by the dictionary is:' "To maintain or defend with" suc-

ce8; to prove to be valid; to assert convincingly, to sustain against assault.

To support or maintain as true or correct against denial, censure or objection,

to. defend, to justify."

So in the strict sense of the word a man is not vindicated until all ques

tion of doubt have been removed to the extent that a fair and impartial judge

will have no mental reservations on the. subject.

Schlieker has been cleared of the charges against him, but he will not be

vindicated until he explains:

1. His action in appointing Albert Lewis on the police force after the

court had decided that he was absolutely unfit and unworthy of the trust. 2. Why gambling and prostitution have flourished, as they never flour

ished before, tinder his administration.

3. Why Warren Renne disappeared just at a time when he was "wanted

to testify as to the cost of protection in East Chicago.

" 4. A number of minor irregularities which are the common subject of

conversation in East Chicago.

A scandal will not down, and the time may come when the real condition

of affairs that has disgraced East Chicago will be brought to light.

A IT TO INJIRIICS FATAL. George Reeves, a laborer, was run

down by an automobile on the Hls'i street bridge at Muncie yesterday morning about 8 o'clock and died from

injuries sustalner a short time later

at the City Hospital. In the automobile were E. W. Bilby and William

Hopping, farm era living near Smitiifield. Bilby was driving the car. After their victim was placed in an automobile Bilby and Hopping went to the Police station and told of the accident.

They were released pending a further

Investigation. Reeves was dragged under tlTe machine for about 100 feet before the car was stopped. His skull was crushed and both arms and his left leg were broken. Reeves was blind in one eye, and witnesses to the accident say he stepped into the drfVeway of the bridge directly in front of the machine. . He is survived by a widow. IDKVTITY REMAINS A MYSTERY. Jf thje identity of the well-dressed woman found dead in a room at Suit's Hotel at Laporte Is not established today, body wll be buried in an unmarked grave In the potters' field. Within the last week several hundred persons looking for missing relatives and friends have viewed the body at the morgue without result. The widest publicity has failed to throw any light on the mystery, which would not be so complex if it were not apparent that the woman had destroyed all evidence as to her name and residence, evidently living In the fear of sudden death. BLOW SAFE, ONLY GET .MSB CENTS. The Ewing postofflce at Brownetown was entered by burglars at 2 o'clock yesterday mornlg, and the safe blown open. Postmaster W. B. Sage, whose home adjoins the jpostofflce, was awakened by the explosion, but when, ne

opened the window of his room one oC the burglars' thrust a revolver in hi face, and ordered him back. Sage then obtained his own revolver and fired four shots, .which-. caused -tlie burglars

to run. They obtained only 9 cents from the rash drawer.

There were three men In the gang.

and they were seen running in the street Immediately after the shooting. In the meantime several men had been around and all started out In search of

the burglars, but they made their es

cape. Three suspicious strangers were seen in Bronwstown, and it i,s supposed

they are the guilty one's.

There are two postoffices at Browns-

town, one for Brownstown, and one for Ewing, a small town near Brownstown.

JURY OIT THIRTY-FOVR HOURS.

At 10 o'clock last night the jurors in

the case against Harry Hlatt, at

Noblesvllle, charged with the murder

of his wife, had been out thirty-four hours, and there seemed to be no prospect of an agreement. Nothing has come from the Jury room indicating

how the jury stands, and it is believed It will disagree. At 8 o'clock last night Judge Vestal was called to the Court House by the Jury and asked to read again his instructions. He complied with the request and then went home, say.'ng that if a verdict was agreed up

on he would not receive K until this j

morn.ng. The length of time which the ury is deliberating on the case is a surprise to the public. It was thought a verdict would be returned in a few hours. OBJECTS TO USE OF HEARSE. James Davis, age eighty-eight, of Thorntown, ten miles from Lebanon, objected to the usual way of bearing the bodies of the dead to rest, and on his dying bed one of his requests was that no hearse or any similar vehicle be used at his funeral. His body was taken to the cemetery In an open spring wagon. Mr. Davis had been married four times and a widow, four sons and a daughter survive. POSSUMS ARE CHICKEX THIEVES. A new kind of chicken thief was killed at the home of Rel Crisler, in the shape of a possum. Crisler, who lives southeast of Shclbyville, was seated In

his house a few nights ago, when he heard a commotion In his henhouse. He obtainer a lantern and. with Mrs. Crisler, went to the chicken yard. Near

an old tree they saw the possum eating

a fat spring chicken. As soon as the animal saw the two people it climbed the tree. Mr. Crislee took a rifle and, after the third shot, brought the chicken thief to the ground.

were sent to Sott county once on a

change of venue, but have never been

defaulting of a deputy county treasurer, and a large number of prominent

men have been engaged in them. Ward Watson, Willard New, Burt New, Charles Jewett and others have appeared as counsel in the cases which have been so long delayed. AXTOXIX KILLS CHILD. Nellie, the nine-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry WoodtUl, of Greens-
