FIGHT OVER PRETTY GIRL
Two brothers, Ignatz and Andy Robert, both of whom are employed at the Republic, Kast Chicago, fought a bloody mill yesterday in an open i-pace near 150th street, midway between I he switches on which Red line cars pass each other on their way between East Chicago and Hammond. And it was all for the love of a pretty South Chicago lass. The name of the girl could not be learned, but it is known that the two brothers are both in love with the same girl who is described as of petite figure, with auburn hair, a complexion as of lilies an,d wild, roses blended, and eyes as brown as the chestnut. The brothers had no intention of making known the fact of their duel, for duel it was, but were discovered by a friend, John Martien, also a friend of the girl and a resident of South Chi
cago. Martzen was riding by on a Red line car, when his attention was attracted to the fight between the two men. The latter had not realized that they were within view of the street cars, having begun their quarrel back of a clump of underbrush. But as the battle became more furious - foot by foot they edged their way into an open space where they were distinctly visible to the passengers of passing cars. Martzen was standing on the back platform of one of these cars, when his
eye was attracted to the struggle. He j like a fair fight himself, and swung off I the car in order to lose none of the fine points of the Fport. What was his surprise to find upon reaching the spot that the men engaged In the bitter conflict were his friends the Kobert boys. The appearance of the intruder for a moment disconcerted the belligerents, but when they recognized Martzen, they resumed their pummelling of each other as though nothing had happened. When both boys were on the point of exhaustion Martzen called time. 'Call If oft now, boys," said he, "adn go to It when you feel like it again." The brothers took his advice. After they had their wind, Martzen asked them what it was all about." The question all but had the effect of precipitating another row, but their friend finally persuaded them to cut it out altogether or at least to await a more favorable opportunity, as a human form that might or might not have been that of a policeman just then hove in sight. Andy declined to say what the fight was over, but Ignatz sullenly volunteered the suggestion. "You know the girl," and a great light burst upon John Martzen.

Charles E. Fowler and A. G. Lund-

the Pennsylvania flyer for Washing

n any other county that another year
will place Lake County second in the
list In point of the number of school

equal that of Marlon county.
The increase in the cities is also
notable as showing how much faster

than the cities in other parts of the
state. '
Indianapolis reported an enumera
tion of 64.129, an increase of 1,235. Ft
Wayne reported a total of 17,364, gain of 167. Evansville reported
total of 19,241, a gain of 230.
Gary, with a total of 5,074, reported

Hammond reported a total of 6,140, a
gain of 248. Whiting, with a total of

gain in Lake county was 2,267.

Another interesting feature of the
enumeration is the fact that Lake

CROWN POINT LEADS RACE
B' SPIKE. Crown Point, last season's pennant holsters, still holds the lead in the Northern Indiana league, heading the list with a perfect percentage. But the dope artists are handing out that, there will be some changes In the standings Sunday and Decoration day, when the teams will line up against some of their old hoodoos. " . Gary seems to be the team that is being talked of the most as possible pennant winners, and if a great pitching staff and almost a double line-up will have anything to do with It they
are likely to cop the flag. It is evident that they want it bad, as five twlrlers have been signed up for the season and the baseball bugs at the steel city want other men signed up on the sacks, and are overjoyed at the showing: their idols have made so far. In other cities it Is the same .way and great Interest is being taken in the league, more so this season than last, although two games have been postponed on account of weather conditions. The league officials are looking forward to sunny Sundays and expect a prosperous and Interesting season from every standpoint. East Chicago's new

On cross-examination Mr. Marshall named more than a score of railroads, some of whose directors are directors of the United States Steel Corporation, for which his concern had built bridges. In most cases, he said, the American Bridge company, a subsidiary of the "steel trust," had competed against his concern for the contract. C. A.
