COL. B!XBY REPLACED
Staunch Friend of Calumet
Region is Succeeded by
Maj. T. III. Rees.

The people over the entire Calumet
region will regret the fact that Cox
William H. Bixby, chief engineer of the
department of the lakes of the United
States army has been relieved and will
be replaced by Major Thomas H. Rees.
Col William H. Bixby has been the
best friend the Calumet region had in
his insistence that the rivers and har-
bors in this region should have the
amount of attention they merited.
His views along this line were some
what distasteful to the members Of the
Chicago real estate board who have
been antagonizing the projects which
were being doomed by the people in
the cities of Indiana which border the
lake.
It is not known whether Mr.. Bixby
resigned. or whether some of these
Chicago men got his scalp, but it is a
certainty that the Calumet region loses
by the resignation of Col Bixby, a
valued friend.
It was announced yesterday that Mai
Thomas H. Reese of the engineering g
corps has been assigned as Col. Bixby
successor. 1t is said Major. Rees will
assume his new duties Immediately.

William Long was working with an
other man when a chain fell on his head

The can started away from him and
in his efforts to catch it, he fell, and
was quite badly bruised His arm was
hurt quite badly but no bones We're

the men was killed but of course there
was no truth in the story as neither
man will suffer any fatal consequences

C.R. HENDRIX ACQUITTED
Automobile Buffet Propri-
etor Cleared Of Charge
Brought by Cook.

C. R. Hendrix, the proprietor of the
Automobile Buffet in SO South Holman
street was acquitted of the charge pre-
ferred by William Williams. his colored
cook, that he had assaulted him.
The witnesses were all agreed that
the negro had been abusive to Mrs.
Henrdix and has sworn in her pres
ence. They all agreed that Mrs. Hen
dirk called her husband in the emer-
gency and that Mr.. Hendrix did the
proper thing in e1ecting the colored
man from his place.
The only question is one as to
whether or not the negro was drunk al
the time. That did not exactly enter
into the case and so it did not affec;
the final decision.
The case was tried before Judge w
w. Mcmahon and Attorney Joseph Con-
roy represented the defendant. Mr.. Hen
dirk. The decision of the court leaves
no question of the right of Mr.. Hendrix
to throw out his employe in a case OF
the kind.

The sad shooting of the little child,
which 1t is believed was accidental in
spite of the peculiar circumstances, is
without parallel in the county. The
circumstances surrounding the firing
of the fatal shot is still unclear, and

case will be taken up under the per-

It is believed that the death of
young Finerty is the result of the boys

Yesterday Mr.. F. S. Betz took Mr..

ride in his automobile. After they
had been shown the sights of the
metropolis of northern Indiana Mr.. Betz
drove the young couple to Judge Jor-

Mr.. Kelly was not game and so the
automobile drove on with Cupid Betz
very much downcast over the failure
of his effort to have the young couple
united.
When Mr.. Kelly got down town the
news that he had been married spread
over the city with great rapidity and
it was not long before the genial Mr..
Kelly was handing out cigars by the
handful and was periodically replen-
ishing the supply in a nearby drug
store.

joke, however, even if it did cost
him as much for cigars as though the
event had actually been pulled off.
Now the boys say that Mr.. Kelly
got married yesterday.
