ELKS 10 GIVE A

East Chicago Elkdom will figure In a minstrel show to be held on the

evenings of Wednesday and Thursday, December 10 and 11, at the new Lyric theater. The event will be under the direction of Prof. T. D. Williams, who will have charge of the musical end end assign the parts, while "Honest" Abe Ottenheimer and Chief of Police Leo McCormack will manage the comedy end of the business. Not many of the details have been arranged, but softie corking good little Jokelets are smoldering- in the massive brains of Messrs. Ottenheimer and McCormack, and are bound to blossom forth into glittering examples of

the highest brand of wit. Both Mr. McCormack and Mr. Ottenheimer are experienced in minstrel authorshp and neither age, size nor weight will be spared when the shafts begin to fly about the Lyric December 10 and 1L "We play no favorites," say they both, "Everybody'll get what's coming , to them." The show will be the first ever given by the East Chicago lodge of the

B. P. O. E. ond if successful, as it promises to be mightily, at this stage of progress. It will be made an annual event. The Lady Elks gave a minstrel performance a year or so ago, and ever since then the men have been

just a little bit jealous, as the Lady Elks certainly did themselves proud, and have yearned to sally forth upon "the stoige" and cover themselves with similar glory. "The Lady Elks are waiting for us," said Mr. McCormack, " "and intend to come back with something better. "Well, if they do, they've got to go some, believe me. We're some punkins in this particular line and admit It ourselves." . Just the same the Lady Elks are waiting and well, after it's all over, they propose to give a minstrel show what is a minstrel show. This spirit of rivalry bids fair to

' produce two of the greatest minstrel shows on earth, for feeling certainly does run high. But to get back to cases. Honest '. Abe Is to take the part of one "bones" at the end and Chief McCormack at j the other, while Frank Keep and Lester Ottenheimer are to be the tambos., (J. W. O'Brien Is to be the tnterlocu- ' tor. f In addition there is to be a fine program of . musical numbers. Walter ' Bailey will render mandolin solos ' which will be distinctly worth the price of admission, if he begins to do justice to his usual form as a mando- ; lin artist. Williams will give a couple , of solos and his family will be heard . In duet and quartet. The committee in charge of the event Is composed of

Leo McCormack, chairman; John O'Neil i and Albert Lewis. i. There is no use pleading, an engage- ; ment for either of the two evenings on

j which the Lyric is to be given up to

i the minstrel show, as a ticket Is good ' for either night. If you cannot go on

the 10th, why go on the 11th, or vice versa.

EAST CHICAGO MEN TAKE THEIR LIVES (Continued from page one.) which was still smoking, lay within two feet of the dead man's hand. The

police and Burns and McGuan were j notified, . the latter taking charge of j the remains. j It developed that the gun with which 'Cox ended his life, had been borrowed ; teh night before from Sergeant Billy ! Hughes.' Cox had some weeks ago borrowed a revolver from Hughes a huntling trip which he made in the Kankajke valley. So when he came to Serjeant Hughes last night and asked the jloan of a revolver, it was without the slightest suspicion of what was apparently in his mind, that the gun was loaned. Cox explained to Sergeant NHughes that he wanted the gun in case

or a possible hold-up as he was carrying considerable money with him which

ne took in from a poultry raffle, he had been conducting In Joe Kaola'H aa.

loon at Guthrie' and was o nthe street

with It late at night it being slack season In his business. It now develops that previous to borrowing "the gun from Hughes, he had borrowed one from John Jaquish, which failed to work. He had attempted to remedy the fault in the gun without success. Cox arose this morning, according to his wife, at 6 o'clock, apparently In the best of spirits. Ho dressed and ate hid breakfast, laughing and Joking and seeing to be in an unusually Jia$py frame of mind. Previous to his departure about half an hour after getting up, he had called up Joe Esola'a place- and told . the bartender that

Charlie Bowen wo aid call In a short

while with some dressed poultry. He

asked him to take nhe poultry and order all the live fowls b could obtain from

Bowen, for use today In the raffle. He would be down in'Ja.' little while, but

this message was left In the event of

Bower, arriving ai;"the saloon before Cox's arrival. He jjthen had berakfast and started out. Xess than ten minutes later he was dead.. Mrs. Cox Insist that her husband had no cause to' tike his life ad she believes that some one must have killed him. Friends on the other hand

who have been associating with him rather intimately, declare that of late he seemed to have, fits of despondency and it la believed that It was in one of these that he committed suicide. Several years ago Cox got "in bad" In Indiana Harbor, by leaving town suddenly, owing 'uuite a number of debts contracted while in the saloon business. He had drunk more or less, and those in -whose debt he was, felt

rather hard toward him. After quite a long absence, however, he returned and announced that he was going to pay off his old debts and begin anew. He did this and by his manly fight to re-establish himself in -, the good will of his former friends, succeeded not only In accomplishing this, but In gaining other friends. He attendd well to his business and sensed to b prospering. Not long ago,' however he was burned out, it having ben generally supposed however that his los was covered by Insurance. The suicide was 40 years. 8 months and fifteen V'8 old. Tho shot that killed him was fired into his right te.-i'ple and passed clear through his head, the bullet coming out on the other side. - Matlsowskl, the Bast Chicago man who took his life, used a small 22 calibre rifle. He ,committeed suicide yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock. It is believed that he rested the rifle on the bed, knelt beside the bed aimed at his hea-t and puled the trigger. The powder burned his coat, vest shirt and th? skin where the bullet entered his heart . Mrs. Matisowskt, who Is known to the police as Black Katie, was on the porch washing at the time her husl and shot himself. She heard the sound of the shot and went into the bed room whence it proceded, finding John lying: on the floor, the rrun some distance away. pr. Schlleker was sent ffr but when he arrived he pronounced the man dead. No theory is advanced as yet as to why Matlsowskl committed suicide but as he had been a heavy drinker It is believed that this may have been responsible for the act. Tha, iran who was between fifty and sixty years old leaves a wife and several children all grown. ' -.".-' Cox is survived by a daughter and his widow. .
