BURGLARS RAID
INDIANA HARBOR
Three Residences Entered
by Thieves, Who Do
Not Secure Much.
WIN. FOX IS GREATEST LOSER
Diamond Ring and Two Watches
Stolen From His Residence
No One Arrested.
CSpecInI to Lake County TImcs.l


Indiana Harbor. Nov. 25.-Three resI~
dences In this city were entered Satur-
day night in the early hours Of the
evening and in one case much valuable
loot was secured. In every case the
parties robbed were absent from tho
house at the time. and 1t is supposed
because of this fact that the work was
done by home talent. The houses en-
tered were those OF William Fox. city
clerk and druggist: oscar George. and
an unoccupied residence on Elm street.
The entrance was gained to the Fox
residence by the opening Of a front.
first floor window. Here every room
was rifed and clothing was piled high
on the floor. There was not a place
where jewels or money could have been
secreted that was not thoroughly
searched. The house cleaning resulted
in the securing OF two watches and a
diamond ring valued at $50 This was
the biggest haul ef the evening. At
the George residence on First street,
the rooms were rined in like manner.
but owing TO the fact that all OF the
valuables had been put in the safe the
thieves were unable TO get any booty.
The gang Of house breakers even
went so far as 10 break into an an
occupied house where two big boxes
had been stored by r II Connolly
preparatory 10 moving in. All Of the
clothes were taken from both Of them.
Anything the thieves didn't want they
threw upon the floor This. however.
did not amount to a great deal. as there
was nothing much that they left be-
hind. The police have no possible clew
to work on as no one saw the escape
from either of the residences and no
suspicious characters were seen about.

TO STRAIGHTEN
RIGHT OF WAY
Grand Trunk Engineers Al
most Finish Work of Lay
ing Out New Line.
DECIDE UPON CHEAP ROUTE
Believed Officials Are in Earnest and
Spring VIII Witness Commence
ment of Grading.

Valparaiso. Nov 6.-(SpeciaI)-
The corps of engineers who have been
making surveys and estimates for the
Strengthening of the Grand Trunk rail
way near here. have just about com
pleted their work. They investigated
three projected routes and are now
nearly through with the cost estimate
of the one which they consider the
most favorable
The line which they lookeupon with
greatest favor at present is combina-
tiOn of the three lines originally pro-
jected and runs from the present po-
sition of the track at a point about
two miles east Of Valparaiso by means
Of a gradual and lengthy curve
through a point about three hundred
feet north Of the Grand Trunk station
here. This line passes through two
houses, the first house north of the
Foster Lumber company's yards and
the home Of W. H Philley, on the
southeast corner Of Franklin ann
Billings streets.
The line from here goes west by south
and crosses the present tracks near
the yard limits post proceeding by
two gradual curves to a point about
five hundred feet west of the inter
locking tower at Loucks' crossing and
thence by almost direct line to a point
near Sedley.
This route, If adopted, will provide
a straighter and a much higher and
more level course than that Of the
present tracks and will eliminate the
steep grade between here and SedIey
and the necessity of a yard engine. AT
present every heavy freight train from
the west requires the assistance of an
extra engine which has to be sent from
Valparaiso to Sedley, causing the loss
of considerable time and causing the
of considerable time and great addi-
tionaI expense.
VIII Build Viaducts.
This proposed road viii cross the
Pennsylvania and the Nickel Plate
rights of way near the tower at
Loucks' crossing by means of over
head bridges.
The change in the course of the road
through here will probably necessitate
the building of a new passenger station
and possibly also new freight depot
If the proposed changes are finally
settled upon, a fact that will depend
upon the cost, the work of construc-
tion will probably be begun early il
the spring.
This is only one of a number of sur
veys that have been made in recent
years. but during the last two or three
years a determined effort seems to have
been made to bring about an immediate
change. An unverified report tha
seems to lend credence to the repor
that work will be begun in the spring
is that all steam shovels that have
been in use west of Griffith have beer
ordered sent to Valparaiso for repairs
and storage for the winter. If WORK
4 is begun next spring II will mean
great deal for Valparaiso as severa
hundred thougand dollars will prob
ably be spent in the city and vicinity
and large amount of labor will be il
demand.
