Peter Juras, 55 years old, who wasshot down in cold' blood by two bandits at the St. John street crossing of the Michigan Central railway on Thursday night while coming home from work at the bridge plant with his son. died early this morning at tho Mercy hospital. The bullet had pierced his lung. Juras was shot after the highwaymen had commanded him to throw up his hands. He offered resistance, and they shot him. Ills money,' amounting to $23.20, was taken from him. Before the son could offer any aid to his father the murderers escaped. No clue to their whereabouts has been found. YOl'NG CnRL. IS SEIZED. While Louis Miianovich and his wife were away from their home at 2149 Adams street lasf night four foreigners broke into the house and seized his 16-year-old daughter, Sophia. The men dragged the girl more than a block, when her screams frightened them. She ran home and told her father, and after the police had been called they succeeded in arresting Jose Slmoc, George Vlainu, Frank Jurieh and Mike Rukovlc. AH of the men are charged with attempted rape. Some of the police are inclined to believe that one of the foreigners wantd to marry the girl and that having opposition from her parents, he chose the ancient Servian bride-stealing plan. Today Chief Martin, Captain Newman and Detective Sergeants Eisner and Kertesz are working on the Lugonler murder case. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION. While working at the key in the Pennsylvania railroad tower east of Broadway, and near Twenty-first street an unknown person late last night fired two shots into the tower at D. F. Culllson, second trick operator. Cullison was slightly wounded by one of the bullets. The other passed within an Ineh of his head. 1 The shots crashed through the window pane. Special Officer J. A.

mean that all of the present city offi

cials would go with the city Into sec

ond class and finish their terma as officials of a second class city. Not only that, but they would be eligible to re-election. The cities and towns

law provides that no official of a first

or second class city is eligible to reelection for two consecutive terms.

WUllD BE SERVING ONE TERM. However, if the Gary bill were to go

through as originally written by Mavpr Knotts he and, his bunch of

Gary officials would not be affected by j

that provision, because they would

only be serving out a term for which

they were elected in a fourth class city, and this would not bar them from

re-election as a second class city. " But right here their foot slipped.

There was some opposition to the bill.

In the House the Gary bill was intro

duced by Representative Carter, of i

Hammond, and in the Senate it was in

troduced by Senator Gavlt, of Whiting.

In the House the bill was reported for

passage by a committee. In the Sen

ate a committee also reported It out fer passage, but opposition sprung up.

and it was necessary, in order to get

the bill through the Senate at all to amend it. So before it was passed yesterday an amendment prepared by Senator Gavlt and offered by Senator Stotsenburg, was made which says that the present city officials of Gary shall

not be eligible to re-election. In that

form the bill passed the Senate. The

same kind of amendment Is to be made

to the I'ous bill.

Therefore, if Gary gets into the second class Mayor Knotts and his crowd cannot be re-elected to office when

their present terms expire. Of course,

they did not anticipate this development, or it is doubtful If they would

have undertaken to make the change.

But it has gone beyond them and it Is

not believed that they could head off the proposition now if they wished to do so. However, there are 'some who expect to see Knotts and his marching club come back to town and try to have that amendment stricken out 'before

the bill finally becomes a law.
