She at once went to the home of John Schaefgen, a few doors away, and called-, Wm. Schaefgen hurriedly dressed, and taking Mb shotgun, went to the new bouse to wait for the thief's return. After waiting some time the man reappeared and started piling the lumber, iehaefieft yelled at him to stop, and the man ran away through the tall grass and weeds. Schaefgen fired two shots at him. but both went wild, k slouch hat was found near the lumber, but it gave no clew as to who die thief might be.

They have had signs placed upon the piers warning the public against bathing because of the dan gerous condition of the beach. The bathing pavilion has been open since Its completion last summer for the use and convenience of persons desiring to bathe on the neighboring beaches and a« a measure for the pro- motion of public morals and decency. The attendant at the Lake Front park is employed as a gardener and care-taker of the pavilion and com- fort station. He is not a trained ex- pert swimmer and Hfseer, but can swim and help persons who may be in distress in the water, under ordinary weather conditions.. The pavilion will be closed on days when in the Judgment of the attendV ant the lake is too rough, for sate bathing. ^ When they are able to provide • safe beach the comiriasioners expect to have an expert uwimmer in charge of the beach durln* the bath- ing season, who during, his nour duty will be iu. swlmiiU .vOk.

Will Make Rules. Some Hverymen have stated they would make strict rules on hiring out a horse and buggy to a stranger. One well known lake shore stable owner announced he would make every strange man wishing to hire jMwac and buggy place a deposit that would cover the value of the outfit, tt Jpa could nor place the forfeit he il Bsive saiia one furiileft se- lf the strangers do not want to do this, they will bav* tol look elsewhere for livery rigs," said this man. The gang suspected of committing the thefts in Bvanston and those In Waukegah and Libertyville Is thought to be the one that has worked from Milwaukee to Chicago. The leader of thia gang is* alleged to be an old man who has served many prison terms for horse stealing. One of the band enters a town, and picking out a livery stable, asks for a horse and buggy, stating that he has to make a trip into the country and will be gone two or three hours. That is the last ever seen of him. Are Clever Workers. Where the hand's rendesvous is lo- cated is amystery. That they can repeatedly steal horses to this section and get away witboui leaving a clew has caused the ponce much worry. It is thought that the horses are not sold around this section, as a close watch is kept on all markets and not one has ever been found in this manner. The entire section front Bvanston to Waukegan is thoroughly aroused over the thefts. lsfied the conditions have already ,Deen greatly improved. . i £lnde Conditions i;)(ifl»2v^?Sf?^S Since going on the new work Orar -;':f; bam has found several cases that are J just as the leaders in the vice crusade have pictured them.

The leaders in the campaign against the vile conditions along th shore are more than pleased at the action of the Wilmette trustees In to; operating in the fight to better condt tlona It is believed the new organK aation, which is soon to be formed to look after the welfare of children, will take the matter up with the other lake shore villages in *n attempt to have the beach in every place patroled the same as is being done Us, Wil- mette. Made No Arrests. No arrests have been made, al- though several offenders have been taken to the police atatios where they have been given sever reprimands. Tuesday a young man from Chicago was picked up by Officer Graham and taken to the station. The Chlcagoan had been in bathing and was using the beach as a dressing room. He Was given orders not to return to WU- mette under penalty of arrest. While Graham is petroling the beach the speeders are not going un- noticed. Graham is keeping an eye on the streets in the vicinity of the lake front, while Marshal Sieber and OIBoer Both are watching the other sections of the village.
