A gallant Jewish, youth from Gary threw three drunks and two strapping fellows from a Gary & Interurban car at 11:30 in Hammond last night and then took a revolver away from a deputy sheriff, emptied it, returned it and offered to fight. The car, with ail seats filled, was waiting at Sibley street, near Hohman, until time to start for Gary. The young Jew was the escort of a pretty and modest girl. .The three crunks staggered on the car and reeled in the aisle, giving vent to the lowest profane and obscene language. THBEW THEM AX.I. OTT. Tbe young man from Gary arose and hv force rushed the drunks ens at a : hi- to the front vestibule where he i - rev. them from the car. Two of their friends, apparently eober. attempted to intercede. The boy employing skilled -,-retUng holds ejected them also. Then h- man with the gun. said to be a i.putv sheriff, flourished the -weapon and exhibited a star. The boy wrested -.i-e sun from the big chap, ignored the s'-itook the bullets from the revolver and' returning it said, -Fight like a .lfin." 5TOX7WO MAN 15 PRAISED. ritinclothesmen Bunde and Einsete rr the Hammond police department , ,j .1.. or Thev took in the sltu-

By A STAIT COXBISPONSENT. rjROWX I'OIXT. IXD., Feb. 15. . Since this beauty s-pot pursued
the even ten.r cf its way duriup the county scat removal agitation and i refused to get the least bit fuseed up ' over som- thi.i it knew there was no ue getting fussed up over. 1 find it a jrcoci p!a;-. to get a story nith the bark I hae talked with a crowd of Clown Point men who have no axes to rrlnd. They are as much at home in Gary and Hammond as thfy are here. They own property in both places. Though it had to be dragged out of them they were willing to gUe the north end of the county a little advice from a perfectly neutral standpoint. XT "WILL BBJNO A X.AUOH. Just as long as Hammond, Gary. Kast Chicago ar.d Indiana. Harbor permit p.rejudice to foment. Crown I'oir.t will feci sure of her political supremacy and laugh at the county beat movers. She was hre long before they came and feels that sh"? will be here just as Ions rs any of them. Crown Point isn't jealous of anybody. She deprecates the jealousy and bad feeling that exists among the north end cities. The Gary school teacher who sal3 that Hammond was a town where the natives crossed the streets any place in the block and held conversations on the car tracks, probably didn't mean to b3 other than merely witty, but she unconsciously allied herself with the propagandists at work in the north end
of Lake courty who pre hindering the
de wIl r rr.f i.t of that vast region. ' OITINa TIT FO TAT. ' There are still narrov -mind'.d f.-.ks in Hammond who look uoi Gary a a City of carpet baggers and tpcnk uf It , as "a poor place to li'e." And there are plenty of people in Gary who declare thai "Hammond ran the county long enough" and are ready to crposf anythii s originating in the "state line city. In fact when anything bobs up from Hammond, tornebody in Gary is always ready to take a crack at it. Now this is foolish, say the Crown Point philosophers. What good does n feeling of that kind do? BIO MEN 3ONT DO IT. No the leaders in all those cities do ti'.t take th?i: attitude. They get along

The meeting of the councilmen of the cities of Ilast Chicago and Hammond which was under call for last night at the Fast Chicago city hall to act upon the amalgamation resolution was a fiasco in the full sense of the term.

An effort will be made to have an adjourned meeting at Hammond on March 10th.
