WHO'S NEXT? TNTERURBAN
PROMISES NEW STATION
Board Of Public Works Good Work
Continues-New Station Will
Adorn North Side.

1t seems almost too good to be
true, but the South Bend interurban
has agreed to build a fine depot on
the north side near Gostlin street.
j. B. Hanna, the president of the
new road, said that his company
would be perfectly willing to build
a depot that would be credit to the
town and that he did not blame the
people of this city for insisting on
having better depots.
There now only remains the mat
ter of permitting the interurban to
allow the Illinois Central to use its
right of way through the city and
even this has been tentatively agreed
upon.
The whole matter will probably
be adjusted at the meeting of the
board of public works next Wednes-
day and then the work of construc-
tion will begin at once.

FEDERAL COURT BILL
VERY MUCH ALIVE
Although Reported Dead One in
Congress the Bill is Making
Lot of Trouble for Congressman
who Oppose its Passage.

Although reported dead the fe-
deral court bill for Indiana is show
ing signs of vitality that are making
it's opponents have many un-
easy moments. OF the Indiana
delegation but two members are op-
posed to the bill. They are Repre-
sentatives Charles b. Lands and
Overstreet. The constituencies of
both these men are within easy reach
of indianapolis and naturally they
are favorable to retaining the only
court where federal business can be
transacted the greater part of the
year as near to THEM as possible
But they lost entire sight of the in
conveniences that litigants in distant
parts of the state are put to when
they are forced to go sometimes as
as 500 miles to attend to business
that many require but a few min
utes of the courts time. This mea-
sure is one of the best that has beer
before congress this year. so far as
Indiana's interest is concerned, ane
great credit is due to Mr. Crumpaekei
and the other friends of the bill
who have so engineered it that
favorable report from the committe,
has been received
1t is possible that the bill will no
become a law at this session, but tn,
action of the committee puts it il
such position that prompt actor
on it may be taken at the short ses
sion next Observation-Disclosures Cou

MYSTERIOUS FIRE
At BELVIEW PLACE
About Three Hundred Dollars Dam
age Done-Firemens Effective
Fight.

A mysterious fire started in the
residence at No. 3 Belview place at
about 8 O'Clock Sunday morning and
for time taxed the resources of the
fire department.
The fire originated some where in
the kitchen of NJ c. Mcdonald who
lives up stairs. The theory was ad-
vanced that the fire might have
started from the spark of a passing
engine, but the fact that the flames
started within and worked out
through the roof discounts this.
Mrs. Mcdonald had gasoline
stove in the kitchen and the mem
bers of the fire department believe
that this was the real cause of the
fire.
T. L. Green who lives down stairs
suffered only a slight loss.
The firemen required about an
hour to put out the fire and the fact
that they had to fight it in the gar
ret made the undertaking especially
difficult. Considering this and the
fact that there was a minimum loss,
considerable credit is due the de-
partment for effective work.
Charles Kasson, who owns the
house says the loss will be fully COW
cred by insurance.

Quite little merriment was

Frank Baker who years ago was
manager of the Hammond Electric
Light plant and is still engaged in
the same line of business, with cen
trail office in the Roanoke building
in Chicago, paid an extended visit to
Hammond yesterday The word ex-

houses which he had seen grow out
of the sand.
Hammond to him and his guests
was merely an incident in the jour

Not of her own option, perhaps; but

The Chronicle had full page in

Yesterday was a pleasant day and

Never in the history OF Thornton
has blood flown so freely as 1t did yes

in the stone quarries broke loose.
The foreigners composed mostly
of Austrians were divided into two
factions and during the earlier part
of the afternoon had been sitting
in the saloon of Daniel Zedarach, the
Austrian headquarters. where drinks
were passed freely.
The two factions accidently met
in the same place but kept their
fighting spirits low until Edward
Goening night watchman in the
stone yards entered His entrance
was the signal for the beginning Of
riot. Goening was friendly with
with none of the Austrians having
had quarrel with them only re-

saloon for some time it was carried
