according to Law.
Especial to Lake County Times,

Gary, Nov. 23.-Attorneys acting for
about sixty landowners of Gary OBJ
tained an injunction from Judge Reiter
of the Lake Superior court restrain
ing the Gary and Western railroad
from blocking every street excepting
three, through the central part of the
city. Work was in progress and sand
was being dumped along the line by
the railroad company the town board
having granted the privilege of vacat-
ing the streets. Attorneys Ballard 81
Stanton and Rodges & Ridgway ap-
peared for the landowners.
The elevation which the railroad con-
templated erecting was like a Chinese
wall which separated entirely the
southern part of the town from the
northern, near the Michigan Central
railroad tracks. The only streets that
were not vacated were Broadway. Vir-
ginia street four blocks east and Madi-
son street four blocks west. The town
board claimed that they published the
notice OF vacation for number of
weeks previous to granting the priyi-
leAe to the company, but the land
ios4vers efafm that they were not
aware of it, If the notices We're pub
lished.
VIII Inture Property.
The Gary and Western railroad Is
building a loop within the city for
the running of a suburban service.
The road comes from Chicago by way
of the Lake Shore right OF way to
the western end of the town and from
that point southernly to Indiana Har-
Dor, thence to Hammond on the old
Lake Shore loop The tracks We're laid
three hundred feet north from the
Michigan Central tracks 1t is the con-
tention of the landowners that the
blocking OF the street means the loss
of considering money through the
depreciation of land values by the cut
ting off of the north from the south
end Of town.
The attorneys claim that there was
a big deal in the granting of the va
eating of the streets. 1t is said that
certain political factions owned land
in the First and Fourth subdivisions
owned by the Gary and Toleston Land
and Improvement association. As the
land was in the right OF way they
profited we'll by the sale to the rail-
road getting in exchange, it is said, a
large sum Of money, and an equal
amount OF land in another section OF
the town. for all this was to make the
way clear for the excavating Of the
said streets
The town board deny this however
The landowners are greatly worked
up over the matter.

John Thompson was twenty-one aud
old for his age. The only thing youth
full about him was his love for Anita
Merrlweather, who was but seventeen
and young for that tender age. Anita's
parents had reluctantly consented to
an engagement, fearing that their
daughter might change her mind be-
fore reaching a marriageable age or
later on ind herself tied to man
whom she would not choose at matu-
rity. But Anita regarded herself al,
ready as at manageable age and
saw no possibility Of ever changing her
mind.

Our Garden.

What?
Not know our garden? The only spot
In the whole wide world where there's
pleasure,
And leisure,
"A treasure
That man might seek with the whole
OF his mind
And never find,
Though he hunted far
From the golden bar
OF the sunset back to the morning star.
Here, where the thrushes spill from
Joyous throats
Their ripping tribute Of melodious
notes,
And where,
Though still the trees
Sway in this April breeze,
Their branches bare,
There's a burst Of life and simmer of
green,
The first faint simmer that's hardly
seen,
And lot
With a glow
That warns the earth
The grass breaks out in burst Of mirth
And a glitter Of laughing sunlight fills
The golden cups Of the daffodils.
Now lift your eyes and see
The almond tree.
Surely old Adam, when with tagging feet
And recollecting signs
Sadly he Jared to meet
His lot, and left the gates Of Paradise;
Surely, he thought, when all in front
was gloom,
OF those irrevocable hours
OF sun and flowers,
And that pink flush Of delicate almond
bloom.
Out and away, where the poplars bound
The edge Of the lawn, there's jolly
sound
0f children's laughter that rattles round
Three little figures frisk together
For JOY Of the sunny April weather:
Craclety-raekety. trip and stumble,
Up to it. on to IT, bump and tumble;
A rout that never becomes a wraigle,
flight. collision and shouts, !. tangle
OF arms ami faces and legs and frocks,
Vi mats ana AAUpvH9 &AA SiAAAAS HUME
And, harll
There's a bark
As the impudent Dandie joins the whirl
With a playful nip for each plump.leg-
ged girl;
But the great majestic st. Bernard
fellow,
In his dignifed robe OF an orange yellow
In his robe Of state
He Is oouched sedate,
And he watches the games Of these
TiOtous Graces
Till they tumble about him,
Aud tug him and out him.
And he lifts his head and he ticks their
faces.
So that's our garden. When next
You're oppressed
And distressed,
And more than usually perplexed
With the cort Of worries that can defy

Drop me line, and come and lie in it.
