spiring to commit a felony and as a
result were sentenced by Judge Law
rence Becker to two to fourteen years In the penitentiary, we-e disfranchised
for fourteen years, and were fined $ and qosts.
About two months ag othese men were arrested after hey held up and rob ed an employe of the Gibeon shops.

fact that they pleaded ' guilty Instead
of forcing the state to go to the ex
pense of a trial.

i PLANS CHICAGO-
TOLEDO LINE
According to reports from Toledo
Ohio, the management of the Pennsyl

establishment of a direct line from
that city to Chicago and also to S
Louis. At the present time there is
gap of nlxty miles to be closed betwee the Pennsylvania terminal in Toled

With the mysterious "disappearance
of J. F. Winters, a Hammond saloonkeeper at 683 Calumet avenue, Saturday night, the fact la revealed that he drew
$1,500 out of the bank on a note signed by a Hammond physician some time
Saturday morning.
Last Friday Winters came to the
Hammond doctor and asked him if he would go on his note for $1,500 which
he said he was going to" use for the
sole purpose of cashing checks of rail
road men who came into his place on
pay day.
This it is learned was the second
time the physician had signed his note
and had always found Winters hon
est and had paid the other note on time.
After a little hesitancy the doctor sign
ed the note and did not learn of Win ter's disappearance until Sunday.
.ine last seen of Mr. - V inters was
Saturday night when he purchased a
ticket at the Monon depot for West
Baden. Officer Malo, who was on duty
at that time, saw Winters board the
train and could tell that he was under
the influence of liquor.
The train crew remembered Win
ters getting on the train, but at present are not positive if he got off at West
Baden or not. As yet no trace has
been found of Winters, and he has not
been seen at West Baden.
It has been learned that he did not
go home last Friday evening, but
staid In the saloon over night. Mrs.
Winters said: "I did not think nothing
of, this, as I thought he might have become Intoxicated tending bar. and
that he did not care to come home,
When he did not come home Satur
day night, I know, there was some
thing the matter, and upon calling up
the saloon I found he had gone.
I cannot but help feel that Mr. Win
ters will come back," said hts wife, this morning, "and I think that he has been lured away by some one. He has always been a good husband to mo and thought a lot of his children." His business has been prosperous, and I do not see any other reason why he should go away."
It was rumored around Hammond
this morning, that Winters cashed an
other note for $200, but the report
could not be verified.
The police are in communication with the West Baden authorities and are trying to locate Winters In that vicinity.

with this stipulation. It waa agreed that hereafter the sale of stock be in-the hands of the. Bast Chicago club, the present stockholders
to be given flrat privilege or increasing their capital stock up to the limit I of 25 shares on each corporation or individual owner.

With th stock heretofore subscribed for and that sold last night, about $8,000 worth of stock has been disposed of. There had been some talk of rais
ing the price of the stock, but after considerable discussion it was decided that this would not be a square deal, and it was determined instead to raise
the capital stock ln the Interests of fair play.

to the best possible advantage, so that all would be given a fair deal, was
brought up and discussed at length.
First and foremost, however. It was
decided to make more binding the ownership of the park, the agreement
heretofore between the association and the East Chicago company, from whom the land was gotten, being merely a verbal one made through C. A. West-
berg, rice president of the company,
While Mr. Westberg'a word has been
sufficient up to date. It was considered
a rather slipshod and unibusiness-Iike basis on whld to hold valuable property, and It decided that it was about
time that monepr be paid down to bind
the bargain. That it waa a bargain

there waa never any question. That it
is worth today every cent of $20,000 at
a low estimate there is not the slightest doubt. . Mr. Wertberg was present and assured the organisation of his readiness to sign up for the property, but stipulated that there should be a clause Inserted In the deed holding the organization to the use for five years of the park for the purpose for which it was originally intended.

To auppiy th market constantly with fresh turtle meat the shipper tanat (ace unusual difficulties. The turtlea, which frequently weigh 500 pounds, must be carried on shipboard thousands of milea to be delivered In New York alive and in good health. The principal source of supply Is in Colombia, South America. The turtle merchant, who enjoys a government monopoly, pursues his prey along the beaches and, on catching them, literally turns turtle by putting them on their backs, where they are oertaln to ha found when the time comes for shipping. On reaching the coaat they ar taken on board th New Tork steamers by securing the flipper with a stout rope and raising them to the deck by means of a steam derrick. The turtle makes the sea trip ln a large Iron pan, just large enough to hold It, which Is filled with water, frequently changed. . The eggs gathered from the turtlea during a voyage are considered a great delicacy. It is not uncommon fr 200 tens of turtle to be carried on one ship. On the special cruise this winter of the steamship Moltk of the Hamburg-American Line a number of turtles will be taken on board to supply fresh eggs and turtle meat. The turtle Is harmless if one keeps out of range of Its sharp beak and often contributes t. the gayety of th voyage by participating. With conaiderablt urging, in races on deck.
