GARY HOLDS
ELECTION
First Gary Political Event
Proves to be a Decided
Success.
HAMMOND MEN CHOSEN
Tom Knots Likely President of Town
Board While Oliver Holmes
Will be Town Clerk.

Gary, Ind, July 29.-The first
corporate election of Gary is now a
part of its rapidly growing history.
On Saturday the formal election was
held giving the city its first officers
The polls opened at o'clock and the
forty-nine votes, that being the total
number cast, came in slowly during
the whole day
The election board consisted of
John e. Sears, L. A. Bryan and John
Stewart. Following the closing of
the polls at about o'clock, there
being no more votes offered. the
board proceeded to count the votes.
Messrs Caldwell, Walsh and Holmes
checking. The result of the election
was as follows: Millard A. Cald-
well, trustee from the first ward; /;
Thomas E. Knotts. trustee from the
second ward, and John E. Sears, trus-
tee from the third ward; treasurer,
Louis A. Bryan. and clerk, c. O.
Holmes.
Mr.. Caldwell is a young man form
erly from Terre Haute and now
working with the steel corporation.
Mr.. Knots is we'll known as the
man who held down Hammond's lid.
and Mr.. Sears as well as Mr.. Bryan
is a resident of South Gary. Mr..
Bryan has been justice of the peace
for eight years. the last term being
a hold-over term.
The new clerk, c. o. Holmes took
the election quite seriously having
been member of the Hammond Re
publican central committee from his
ward. He has left no stone unturn-
ed to get himself acquainted with
the residents of Gary and on election
day worked as if the success of the
republican party of Indiana were at
stake.
The elected officers hold until 1910
and while their salary now is a mere
bagatelle, by the time their term of
office expires, it will likely amount
to something in the hand whilst. ;"
The officers were promptly sworn
in following their receipt of the GER
tificates from the election board and
a report of the election was filed at
Crown Point this morning.
The town board, consisting of the
three trustees meet this evening to
begin their work.

annual picnic of the Independent Or

an enjoyable event and was fairly
well attended. The address of Mr..

gave him close attention.

HORSE AND BUGGY STOLEN.

A horse and buggy were stolen
from A. H. Smith last night at Crete.
ILL.,, and the local authorities have
been advised of the theft. The outfit
ought to be easy to locate as the
probabilities are that it has not been
driven very far. The horse is
black, 20 years old and is swayback.
The buggy is an old one and looks
as though the body was black once
upon time, while the gear was red.
The chief of police is waiting for
information about the horse and
buggy.

TAKE NO CHANCES.

There seemed to be policeman
looking out of every corner of the
Monon depot last night as one of the
Sunday excursions came through
Hammond on the way back from
Cedar Lake The crowds on the
train were either cowed or much
more respectable than the usual lot
for they seemed disinclined to even
leave the cars as they usually do.
The police are evidently taking no
chances with the Cedar Lake hood
lums.

ANOTHER STREET CAR sCRAPE.

The street car conductors are hay-
ing their troubles these days. Yes
terday Carl Kluck, who was intoxi-
Gated, made such disturbance that
the conductor found it necessary to
put him off the car. He did so and
the man tried to start a fight. The
affair occurred at 10th street and
Schrage avenue where the Whiting
police soon caused the arrest of the
disturber. He is being held for trial
at Whiting.

All Very Well, But

The water has a charm for most
people and the warm summer months
take SO many Of our people to the re-
sorts on Lake Michigan and the other
big lakes and the smaller lakes are
very popular too for they afford the
same advantages for fishing. swim
ming, bathing and boating that the
large ones do.
The impression that might be
gained from this is that Hammond
and surrounding towns are deserted
but such is not the case.
The town folks who rejoice in
the possession of automobiles-and
the number is growing at a remark

SCHAUB CUTS AND MAINS
Excursionists from Chicago Set Upon
by Hammond Man Who
Provokes Trouble.

Ernest Armd and Edward Eoller
who came out from Chicago yesterday
with their families for a day at the
Lake Front park, were badly cut up
by a knife in the hands of Martin
Schaub Of Hammond, who is alleg-
ed to have used insulting language
in the presence of the women and
then resented being called to ac-
count for it.
The fight occurred on Sheffield ave-
nue. between the lake and the White
House and was the outcome of a
quarrel which started at Fisherman
Chafleys" resort on the lake front.
When Armed and Holler left Char
ley's and started for the street car
on their way home they were follow
ed by Schaub, who continued to
abuse the two men in the presence
of the women. Finally Edward Hol-
Ter went back and attempted to stop
the abuse. He was attacked by
Schaub who slashed at him with a
knife.
Armd, seeing that Holler had been
badly injured, sought to capture his
assailant and cause his arrest. but
was also cut up by Schaub. The two
injured men were taken first to the
White House where it was found ad-
visable to hurry them to a doctor at
Whiting, where the rapid flow of
blood could be checked.
Weak From Loss of Blood.
Holler was taken in Jewetts gro
cery wagon to DR.. e. l.. Dewey's Of
fee where Dr. Hoskins assisted in
dressing his wound, and Armd was
carried in buggy to DIR. Putnam's
Office where DR.. Swan was also in
attendance.
Holler was found to be cut over
the eye, on the back of the neck.
in two places on the arm and in sew
eral other places.
Armd was even more badly iniur-
ed. There was a deep flesh wound
in his right shoulder, a bad cut on
the wrist, wound on the back of
the head and a slash across the
throat about four inches in length.
Martin Schaub, the assailant. is
known as,"Max" among his friends.
is a machinist, who lives at SIT Cal
umet avenue in this city. Edward
Holler resides at 1926 Wallace street.
Chicago. and Ernest Armd lives at
2S00 Archer avenue. Chicago.
Schaub was arrested this morning
by Officers Bunde and Norris and
was brought to the local police sta
tion where he will be held for trial.

Not Lonesome at Home.

More of the real 10y of living
enters into the summer life of the
stay-at-home provided he or she has
mastered the lesson of comparison
and has learned to philosophize.
Envy is the making Of summer re-
sorts. One goes resorting because
somebody else goes resorting. One
leaves his or her happy home and be-
takes himself or herself to some stuk-
fy, sitting rendezvous because fhe
idea Of staying at home and being
comfortable might be taken as q
confession of lack of wherewithaI.
One who does not care for the
speech of people can conjecture up a
vision of a battle with mosquitoes
at the fashionable watering places.
They can find it in their hearts and
voices TO paraphrase the song of the
sailor on the deck of the tempest-
tossed bark in mid-oeean:
"A strong nor casters blowing. Bill.
Don't you hear it roar now?
20, Lor' how / pities them
Unhappy folks on shore now
Think Of the hot nights, the poor
food. the able bodied mosquitoes and
the rapacious landlords at the in-
land resorts and be happy. Think
also of the fun that is TO be had at
the neighborhood porch party.

Mine Labor
Benefits by Di.
rect Payment
NEW SYSTEM ENABLES OPERA.
TORS TO PROTECT HELPERS
FORMERLY AT MERCY OF
CONTRACT MINERS.

NEW YORK, Nov, 13.-The follow
ing statement is authorized on behalf
of the anthracite coal operators:
Mine laborers are benefting largely
from the rule Of the Anthracite Strike
Commission. requiring that the opera
tors make direct payments to contract
miners helpers. Formerly the miner
was supposed to pay his own Iaborers
who had the coal cut or blasted by him
Under that system the operators had
no way Of knowing the wages earned
by miners laborers, and were there
fore unable to refute the cry Of "star
walton wages"
Now they find that the Iaborer fre.
quently receives for his work, which
requires no skill, from $3.50 to $2I5
a day.
The contract miners laborers often
Jared badly under the old system. The
miner frequently failed to pay him at
all, and as he had no right to look 10
the company for redress, he was help,
less. When he was paid, the saloon
was generally selected as the pay
place, in order that the saloonkeeper
might assist in making change; and It
frequently happened that both the
miner and laborer spent much of their
earnings over the bar before they left
the saloon.
These evils have been done away
with as a result of the directpayment
award, which is now fully in force,
All contract miners. are required TO
furnish, prior to each pay day, state
ment of the amount due from them to
their laborers. The coal company
must deduct that sum from the amount
due the contract miner, and pay it d.
rectly to the laboref.
By this method the larober is sure
Of his money, and the necessity of 60
ing to the saloon is removed. If on
pay day the laborer claims that the
miner has understated the amount due
him. the company holds back the pay
OF both until the discrepancy is adjust.
ed. The company keeps an account Of
the time that the laborer works and is
accordingly able to assist in settling
such dispute, ,..
