SIDING IS A GREAT NUISANCE.

The Wabash railroad siding in Gary,
which has long been laid in the middle
of one Of the principle streets Of the
city Washington street. is becoming a
greater nuisance every day and it is
time that the company had the OBJ
struction removed In the past IT has
been used for the purpose of bringing
construction material Tor buildings on
Broadway to save the hauling by
teams, but as a great part of that
work has been completed, there is no
longer a necessity for the rails to be
blocking the street. The city several
weeks ago ordered the track torn up
but as yet the company has not COM
piled with the order. The Wabash has
also proved an obstacle to the heavy
traffic on Broadway where the street
cars as well as the teams are contin-
ually blocked with the switching, most
of which is done across the main street

LEAGUE OF ONE-LEGGED MEN
WILL ASSIST CRIPPLED BOY
Novel Plain to Give Education to Whit
Lad MANNED for Life by Accident on
Railroad Track.

Railroad Track.
Whiting, Ind, Sept. 9.-John J. Ryan
possesses an indomitable desire to ae-
quire a college education as a compen-
sation for the loss of his legs. DR.. w.
e. Putnam and other friends of Ryan
have started the formation of an or
ganization of one-legged men of Lake
county, to assist him in the pursuit of
learning, as stated in THE TIMES some
time ago.
Ryan lost both legs several months
ago while batting his way on a railroad
from Buffalo to Chicago in search of
work. The plan is to band the one
legged men of the county together and
to ask from each a slight contribution
to carry him through his schooling.
DR.. Putnam, surgeon of the Lake
Shore railroad at Whiting. amputated
the mangled legs and gave Ryan a tenn
porary domicile in his family. Ryan's
cheerfulness and determination to make
up for his loss by obtaining an educa-
ton gained for him host of friends,
and their interest led to the idea of
making the 16 year old lad the bene-
ficiary of an organization of one-legged
men.
