Foreigner Who Smashed a Window Nearly Bleeds to Death.

An Indiana Harbor foreigner whose r.ame could not be learned, night before last took a punch at the -window of Sasat's saloon. One Hundred and Fiftieth street and Paring avenue, shattering the glas3 and Incidentally cutting his hand so severely that he had to have a number of stitches taken to close the wound. The man, who lives at 151st arid Magovm avenue was refused further drinks at the Sagat bar, and he soothed his injured feelings by breaking the window. After accomplishing this he went to his boarding house, leaving a trail of blood in his wake and being svertaken with weakness and intoxlca-

When It was discovered after a few hours' operation that there was nothing to this, the antagonism gradually Kubsi.led. although there have been a few' complaints on account of the smoke, the .stack not being unite high eonugh to prevent the smoke from de

scending under certain conditions of j the wind. The crematory Is erected under the shadow of the Magoun avenue pumping station, and Its proximity to this high, r structure is accountable j for the smoke nuisance, which, how- j ever, the city will remedy as soon as i possible, by itdd.ng a f"v feet to the stack. j Mayor A. O. Sclilicker is much pleas- ' ed at the perfection of both crcmatories. In oi.b r to thoroughly test the I capability of the Fast Chicago plant atj the outset, a decrepit mule was led Oj the spot, shot through the head, his carcass tumbling into the opening Into wtiii ii tile garbage is dumped. In less ; than two hours and a half the carcass! was entirely consumed, there being not! even a smell to attest to his taking off. ; "This is a grt at improvement on thej old method of disposing of the sewage," j declared Mayor Schlleker, "and Willi lean much to the health of the com-: munity. Tl-.e public must be educated, however, to the fact that they must) not mix ashes and tin cans and other; no n - corn bu 5-1 1 bl es with their garbage,!

The two plants represent, an outlay of ;:houl S4.4"i and cost the city but little for m it i! t en a nee, consuming only about a ton of cheap coal each per day. If tin-re were sufficient garbage to keep them going this expense would be eliminated, the refuse Itself being sufficient to keep the furnaces going once the tires were started. The coal Is needed now, however, to fire up with, there not being enough refuse to keep the (Ire u- day and night. The Indiana Harbor plant Is in Alder street, between 13r,th and 137th street, on the site of the old sewer pumping station.

F.oth garbage crematories in the Twin Cities are now at work, the one

The placing of the last named crematory In operation was the occasion of a tempest in a teapot, the establishment only escaping mobibng at the hands of Irate women of the neighborhood by the arrival of a squad of police officers, called to protect the operators and the property, when It was discovered that they were to be the object of attack. It apepars that the women, all of whom were foreigners, feared the crematory would cause a bad odor, and this was the cause of their attack.

Shortly after half past eight it became established that Carlson, Smith and Halpin were among the dead. A sad feature in connection with the death of Halpin is that he leaves a young wife and baby, who reside at i Ua nit v ille, half w ay between Miller and Aetna. F.fforts to get any details of the accident at the powder mills this morning were futile as nearly every avaiable man had been called to the lower end of the marshes, a mile iway from the offices, where the dynamite packing houses ars located. lir.UOIKM OF EMPLOYES. Had all of the men been in the different mills at Atena and at work at

It was the latter which skidded while taking the sharp turn at White Oak and One Hundred and Forty-eighth.

Vp to the hour of going to press at least three victims had not been Identified. Only torn bits of their bodies were found. A roll of employes will be taken this afternoon and it is hoped by these means to establish the names of the victims blown to pieces.

The divers have been nil through the tug and searched in the bottom of the lake in the vicinity, but their search hai failed to reveal nny trace of the drowned men.

Had the men only realised this they mltrht have all saved themselves by climbing to the top of the cabin when the boat went down. While none of the names of the ili-ow-ned men are known in Indiana Harbor, it is understood that the one : member of the crew who escaped was the fireman.
