Especial to Lake County Timcs.)

Hobart, Ind, August PA man CIV
ing his name as Charles Quick. and
claiming to be a brick mason, applied
at the home Of Mrs. NJ f. Watson
Wednesday evening for a room, stating
that he was going 10 work for Con-
tractor Carpenter the following day.
He was given a room. but Mrs. Wat
son neglected removing her gold watch
and chain which she had in the room
and yesterday morning both roomer
and jewelry were missing.
Mrs. Watson at once notified Mar
shaI Rose and after inquiring at the
passenger depots and finding no trace
OF the fellow, the marshal got a rig
and started toward Hammond.
At Glen Park he was informed that
a party answering his description had
been seen there. After proceeding a
few miles further Quick was over
taken and searched. the watch and
chain found, and he was brought back
to Hobart where, in Justice Mathews
court, he was bound over to the circuit
court in the sum OF $500 bonds. Mar
shall Rose took the prisoner to Crown
Point at once.

had been accustomed to under normal
conditions. He admitted that there
had been a temporary suspension in
the transmission of luxury telegrams'
the kind that man would send
home to his wife announcing his safe
arrival on reaching a hotel.
1t will be a long time before the
branch Offices, regarded as an accom-
modation, are established again in Chi
cago. as the company has found IL can
do the same business nearly with $50
less operators, since the suspension OF
these offices.
The local executive board sent a let,
ter to Graham Taylor OF Chicago Com.
mons. proposing that he undertake to
secure from the Western Union Tele-
graph company access to two monthly
payrolls Of its Chicago Office, with a
view Of ascertaining whether wages
have increased in proportion to the

GIBSON HAS ITS
OWN POSTOFF|CE
Uncle Sam Opens Branch

Gibson, Ind, Aug. 23.-Gibson is now
on the map so far as Uncle sam is con
cerned. At postofflce was established
there a few days ago. and ]. c. Pay
ton was appointed first postmaster of
the place.
The office is In the general Office
rooms Of the Chicago & Indiana South
ern railroad and was established at
the request of the railroad officials.
So far it ranks as fourth class. but
the business done is considerable and
money order department may be in
stalled.
Some surprise has been expressed
that as long as Gibson is within the
limits Of Hammond that the carrier
service was not extended and the busi-
ness done from the Hammond office.
Conditions are such, however, that it
would not be feasible for the free de-
livery service to be operated from the
Hammond office and so until the bust
ness Of the Gibson offices increases
and the transportation facilities i'm
prove. the Gibson office Will probably
be operated Independently.
This makes three Independent post
Offices that are in commission inside the
/ city limits of Hammond. There is one
at Hammond, one at Roby and one al
/ Gibson.
| The commission to serve as post
master came to Mr.. Payton July "a al
| though he did not open the office until
a few days ago. 1t will now be pos
sible to send a letter to Gibson and
/ feel assured that it will reach one OF
/ the residents of Hammond's newest
! suburb.

to cheer for the horse, driver and for
Jasper county. Rensselaer, Boy gave
Little Splan a splendid race and when
the latter went up in the air and lost
ten yards before being brought to the
ground by Meeker, Rensselaer, boy
gained and could not be headed. The
third heat went to little Splan in a
fight all the way through, by feet, with
the Rensselaer, horse second and Vic
torine third. In the fourth heat the
accident happened and Victorine came
home first. In the fifth heat the sur
prise came, with all the horses a bit
tagged. Victorine had the staying
powers and plugged right ahead after
the start and managed to hold the
lead to the finish, although Meeker
tried to end matters in a driving finish,
but could not head off the victor. The
| race was then put off for a finish to-
day.
2;19 Pace Exciting.
The 2:19 pace furnished the greatest
excitement of the day Hammond
earned the glory and the money of
the event, and the race went to the
game daughter of Joe Patchen, owned
by Thomas Swanton of Hammond. and
driven by Ben Hayes. 1t was a case
of breeding coming to the front when
everything looked to be lost The first
heat found Pauline, a pretty little sor-
rel mare by Deck Wright. going like
clockwork and the fight came between
the mare and King Arlington. Leila
Patchen was third, breaking badly on
the first corner. Costerino was fourth.
The second heat was repitition Of
the first, except that Costerino came
in second and Leila Patchen, after a
bad break came like a streak of fire
taking third from Arlington in the
drive. II looked at this point as
though Leila Patchen was going to be
bad actor and that Pauline would
have a walkover. The latter never
lifted her nose in the five heats and
was well liked until in the fourth, wher
she tired. The third heat found the
Hammond horse going better and or
the stretch she challenged Pauline anC
won by several lengths, in a fierce
drive. Thereafter it was an easy thins
for the game mare from Hammond
and the other horses were tired from
the action in the other heats and easily
succumbed. 1t was a case OF BLOOD
telling the story and the Patcher
strain showed all the way through.
