Michigan City Editor Gets Whipped By a Big Bully.

Gary is not the only northern Indiana town that is having a hitch at dirty politics. Dr. Carl Freitag, editor of the Michigan City Daily Times, was the victim of a cowardly attack which was made upon him Friday night in Fred Spiro’s saloon in Michigan City by Charles E. McCrory, . a chair factory employe. The real reason of the attack is said to be the fact that Editor Freltag’s paper, in which ex-Mayor M. T. Kreuger is also interested, is making it pretty warm for Mayor Miller'B administration, and the editor contends that the affair was framed up by others and that McCrory was picked to do the job because of his size. He is over six feet tali and weighs 220 pounds. This is the second time Editor Freitag has been beaten up for alleged political purposes.
