GOSTLIN ACCESSORY
TO CRIME? OH, F|E!
Went Into Cahoots With
Burglar to Steal His
Own Chickens.

Postmaster Gostlin used to own
chickens. Today you couldn't even find
a feather on the premises and thereby
hangs a tale. 1t appears that Mrs.
Gostlin finding it difficult to secure
fresh eggs in market determined to
get some chickens of her own and go
out and gather the eggs before they
were too ripe.
Mr.. Gostlin is interested in horses
and although he frowned on the idea
of a chicken farm he said nothing for
the reason that he thought his wife
would soon get tired of taking care of
the birds and that perhaps there would
be several good chicken dinners in the
deal bye and bye.
Mr.. Gostlin has one of the most at
ira ctive yards in Homewood and takes
a great deal of pride in it's appearance
and so when the chickens became over
Industrious in digging up his flower
beds he determined to take some
drastic measures to get rid of the
pests.
"Aha!' Says the Villain
After using one vile after the other
to dispose of the poultry on Mrs.
Gostlin without effect.
Finally a bright idea struck the
to West Hammond and found a Pole
who agreed to come to his house some
evening and steal his chickens. In a
very few days. to the delight of Mr..
Gostlin and to the surprise and sorrow
of Mrs. Gostlin the chickens disap-
peared and were seen no more in that
vicinity
1t happened. however, that Mrs.
Gostlin had occasion, one day, to drive
over in West Hammond to secure
wash woman and as she was passing
the home of one of the residents of the
village she noticed a chicken that had
surprisingly familiar look.
| Closer investigation revealed the fact
that it had one of its toes missing and
Mrs. Gostlin remembered that one of
her chickens had its toe frozen off
during the past winter
There was but one conclusion and
she jumped at it. The pole had stolen
her chickens and she was determined to
have him arrested. She drove to the
police station in West Hammond and
called upon one of the officers to COM
per the return Of her property.
The officer obeyed. the Pole was
taken into custody but not booked. He
is said to have explained in excited
Polish that he had been requested by
Mr.. Gostlin to steal the chickens and
Billy was called up over the phone
and asked to explain.
He was dumbfounded when ne heard
what had happened and at once went
to the police station where he squared
the thing up with the Pole. What
further explanations were made is not
known.

TO RELIEVE Holman STREET.
Rapidly becoming Nuisance on
HammOnds ThOrOughfare

Holman street has been blocked to
such an extent lately by South Chi
cago funeral professions that a move
ment IS on foot to have the latter go
from Hegewisch through West Ham
mond, over Burnham avenue.
A motion to have Burnham avenue
paved and bridges put in Will be pre-
scented to the West Hammond board to-
night and as the majority of citizens
seem in favor of it, the road will prob
ably be macadamized
The South Chicago funeral parties
come from South Chicago by the way
of Hegewisch whence they enter Hob
man street
one half Of Durham avenue is
owned by Cook county and the other
half by the village of West Hammond.
The county is willing to stand halt
the expense but the village thus far
has been backward. The chances are
however. that the ordinance Will be
passed tonight.

TRANSPORTATION FOR
STANDARD STEEL NEAR
Within Two Weeks South
Side Trolly Extension
Will be Complete.

Within two weeks the extension of
the south side trolly line of the Ham
mond, Whiting and East Chicago rail-
way will be completed to the Stand
ard Steel Car works and everything will
be in readiness for the running of the
cars. The work has been pushed with
great rapidity of late and the tracks
and wires have been put in place as
far as Columbia avenue. Now the
work to come will be the laying of the
loop at Columbia avenue and the grad
ing which Will take but a short time.
The company have promised many
changes on this line which taps the
best residential section of Hammond
on the south side, and the working
mems settlement about the car works.
Instead of the broken backed cars now
in operation between East Chicago and
Hammond, dirty and totally inadequate
to the traffic, new and larger coaches
are to be installed. The cars. four in
number. are of the latest and best type
of street car, clean and roomy, and are
even larger than the ones running to
South Chicago. They We're originally
intended for the so-called short line
but were found to be too big to cross
the bridges on that route and are to
be used on the East Chicago STANDARD
Steel Car works line.

FRUIT TREES TRY IT AGAIN.
BY No Means Daunted by Recent
killing Frosts They Blossom
Forth Il Second Tissue.

Dame nature is now getting even
with the weather man. The recent
cold spell suffered in this region at the
time when the blossoms first appeared
on the earlier fruit trees, killed all
prospects for plentiful supply of that
fruit A little coup was planned there
fore by the powers that be. who at
once arrayed themselves on the side of
the inhabitants of this earth who take
pleasure in the consumption OF fruit
In short the story Of the affair is that
many OF the trees whose blossoms were
killed by frost in the earlier part of
the year are again decked ia white
This IS a most unusual occurance and
makes the conditions which have ex-
listed this year still more peculiar A
case of the second effort of trees to
produce fruit is that Of pear tree
belonging TO Mrs. William Teeple Of
Logan street and is attracting no little

New York. June 20.-The threatened
strike of the telegraphers against the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph

much exhilaration over the victory,
IL is quite concession nevertheless.

mitted will be acceptable TO both par
ties. He agrees to meet a committee
Of three. one representative being a
member OF the union now employed by
the company. another to be appointed
by the company and the third to be Sc
lected by the two chosen.
lie also agrees to meet a committee
from members of the union who are
now employed by the company, but

the increase in salaries granted March

the case, he will instruct the manager
Of the city in which the complaint is
made to pay the back salary due.
