TAKE PITY ON THE
SORROWS OF POOR OLD MAN. "

Footsore and weary, hungry and I'LL
clad. fatherly in appearance. an old
man 81 years of age. appealed TO Cap
tain Austgen of the Hammond police
station late Saturday night for a place
to rest his aching bones and bite to
keep his inwards from falling together.
Il was indeed a pitiable plea and one
that could not be passed over lightly
by the kind hearted officer. and the
poor old man got more than he was
looking for.
He told story which was verified,
that he was a resident OF Bedford Ind
and that he was trying his best to
reach that place. He was formerly in
prosperous circumstances. but unfort-
unate investments and failing health
brought him down.
He was sent to Rochester, s. d. TO
recuperate. but after spending some
time at that place. he found that it
was not agreeing with him so he
started 10 come home to spend the last
few days. He got as far Hammond
and was stranded and his only hope
was TO apply to the police. and it did
not fail him. Captain Austgen sup
pied him with a good supper. and a
good bed. and Sunday morning he was
sent on his way rejoicing with a rail-
read ticket as far as Lowell.

Walter Basne. a blacksmith Of the

at $3.50 Saturday evening. The injuries
will not prove permanent. although
three ribs are said to have been broken

ternal injuries. Basne was attended by
Dr. Chidlaw in the absence of the com
pany's physician. 1t is claimed by the
man that the gates We're not down at
the time Of the accident. though this
statement is strenuously denied by the
gate-man. 1t IS thought by a great
many that the man had attempted to
cross the track in front of the train
in a spirit Of dare-dev:lment and had
misjudged the speed with which it ap-
preached. The accident was witnessed
by hundreds OF Holman street pedes-
trians.

While walking Saturday night
through May street. east OF Calumet

in the employ Of THE LAKE COUNTY
TIMES. was shot in the leg by some
careless marksman. who fled when he
found the result OF his poor aim. The

Immediately felt the bullet penetrate

TO his home in 762 Murray street. The
wound was not dangerous but it will
be some time before he viii be able
to use the leg. The bullet came from
a gun OF twenty-five calibre and was
embedded in the flesh. The matter was
reported 10 the police but the man re-
sponsible for the shooting had evident
~ fed. THE LAKE COUNTY TINES has

Attorney Meyers Charges
LaPorte's Mayor With
Unscrupulousness.
HAS BEEN DISBARRED
Fight Over Franchise Applicants at
Gary Wakes Warm-Each Meet
ing Hotter Than Last.

A sensation was created at the Gary
| town board meeting last Saturday
when Attorney Meyers. representing
the Lake Shore & South Bend inter-
urban, charged Mayor Darrow of La
Porte with being irresponsible, and un-
scrupulous and pointed to the fact
that Mr.. Darrow had been disbarred
at one time for subornation of perjury
The Gary board was holding another
q their traction sessions and the pot
boiled more freely than ever. The
awarding OF the franchises has been
delayed SO long and the rivalry among
those who are seeking the privileges
is so great that much friction has re-
suited and more than once there have
been tilts among those who are after
the prize.
Yesterday Frank n Gavit of Whit
ing and Mayor Darrow Of LaPorte sub
mitted amended franchises which were
read and referred TO l.. L. Bomberger,
the town attorney for an opinion.
Mayor Darrow and Attorney Gavit
talked over the objection to their
franchises with Attorney Bomberger
and just before the meeting was ready
to adjourn they came in and asked
that immediate action be taken.
The board hesitated to do this and
finally decided to take no action until
the question which had already been
referred to the attorney had been passed
upon
1t was finally decided to hold an
adjourned meeting Tuesday, the 25th
in order TO hear the attorneys re
port and take final action on the mat
ter. 1t was during this meeting that
there was a lively tilt between Mayor
Darrow who represents the Air Line
and Attorney Meyers who represents
the Chicago, Lake Shore and South
Bend interurban
Mr.. Meyers made the statement that
all Darrow wanted with the franchise
was the opportunity to advertise the
fact that the Air Line had the fran
chise privileges in Gary and that this
would so long way towards in
nuencing the people to buy stock in
the New York-Chicago line.
Mr.. Meyers was OF the opinion that
the Air Line people were willing to
make any kind of proposition to get
the franchise and that it would be i'm
possible TO operate the line profitably
under the terms of the franchise that
Darrow wanted.
Ihls seemed 70 be the opinion of the
other bidders for the franchise who
have been nettled by what they term
the impossible offers that are being
made by a concern that is not re-
sponsible"
Zach succeeding meeting Is a warm
er one than that which preceded it. +
ana the men who are looking after the /
interests Of their respective companies /
are wondering what the next meeting
will bring out
