because of the general understanding
that the industry can be- assembled
there as cheaply "a at any place in the
United States. IL is believed that
Gary will become the greatest center
for the manufacture OF steel and iron
products in the world. It Is an excel
lent location, directly between the ore
mines Of the Lake Superior region and
the coke and coal regions of Pennsyl-
yania.
IL is evidently the purpose OF the
corporation TO create town like that
which European manufacturers have
developed around the sites Of their
respective works. The great German
steel firm, the Krupps, have such a
town at Essen, Germany. In France

MYERs-RHoNIMUs DUEL RELICS
Shotgun and Pistol Used In Deadly
Fight Given to Sheriff.

Two guns were taken to the sher-
iff's office this afternoon by Coroner
Ralph Folsom and they have been
objects of interest to those who know
their history. One of the weapons
is a 3S Ivers-Johnson pistol with a
long barrel. There is one loaded
shell in the gun and on either side of
the cartridge is an empty shell. The
pistol was the property of Tom My
ers and the missing bullets were sent
at A. d. Rhonimus during their fight
on upper Mckay a month or more
ago. Evidently one of the cartridges
missed fire as such would account
for the loaded shell between the two
empty ones.
The other gun is double barreled
shotgun and II belongs to old man
Rhonimus who is being held for the
action of the grand jury. There is a
shell in one of the barrels and 1t is
now held fast by rust. The gun was
dropped in the snow by Rhonimus
after he had shot Myers, and had
himself been hit by bullet from his
enemy's pistol.

FATHER AND SON DIFFER.
'Pricc Was High" Says Parent;
"Gecse Flew High" Says Son.

Dan p. Smythe arrived home this
morning from Portland and Arling-
ton, where he had been visiting for
the past week or more. Regarding
the report sent out from Arlington to
the effect that the price of geese was
advanced on the arrival of the Raley-
Carter-Smythe party, he said:
"They tried to raise the price on US,
hut they did not realize how we could
shoot. We then went hunting and
Colonel Raley's craftsmanship waS
such that the Arlington market has
never recovered from the bull move
mcnt that set in when we were
through"
In soEe particulars the above diff
fcrs from the statement made here
recently by A. Smythe, mayor OF Arl-
ington. He said that only by a Wig
orous use of his official position was
he able to force the geese merchants
to reduce their prices enough to bring
the game within financial range of the
visitors
