LUCKY LAND DRAWER

Especial to THE T1MEs).

Whiting, Ind, Oct 26.-Several Whit.
ing persons were recently attracted to
South Dakota by the Rosebud land
drawing contest. but not dreaming that
any of them could be fortunate enough
to be one of the 5000 out Of the sew
eral thousand there who would receive
prize farms, the trip was taken merely
as one for pleasure.
Among the party who went from
Whiting was Clarence Moore. of One
Hundred and Eighteenth street and
Central avenue. who accompanied his
father and brother on the trip
Makes an Investment.
When they reached South Dakota
they We're much surprised to see the
large number of people who were like
wise attracted to the place, partly on
account of cheap rates but mainly for
the purpose of registering in an effort
TO draw some of the valuable land
As the cost of registering was onlv
81, Mr.. Moore thouht he would trv his
luck, feeling that he was not risking
much by the investment OF this small
sum, which on the other hand would
perhaps bring results beyond his ex-
pectation.
The party returned home about a
week ago and ever since were care
fully watching the columns of the
daily papers which were printing the
names of the successful drawers.
His Number 1907.
Inc numbers were going we'll up in
the thousands and Clarence was sure
he was going to be left when he re-
ceived word which encouraged linn and
his family very much
when one of the family wenr n
the postoff1ce Saturday evening. they
received letter from Mr.. Clifford
Moore. in which he was informed that
the number 1907 had won for him one
of the 160-acre farms

JOHN POPE BATTLES
WITH THE D rs"
Aged Hammond Spending
His Last Hours on
Cot in Jail.
VICTIM IS NEAR HIS DEATH
Chief of Police Rimbach Is at Loss
to Know What to Do With
His Patient.

John Pope lies in the city jail on the
little cot fighting off what is believed
by the doctor to be his last attack OF
delerium tremons. 1t will be his last
for it is believed that the aged man
can not survive the continuous convul-
sions which are wrecking his old and
emaciated FORM
John Pope is another Hammond man
who is going over the terrible route IL
the foot steps of many other victims of
drink. His struggles are not as ter
rlbie as some of the others because he
has very little strength left. but they
are still terrible to behold
Puzzled With the Case.
Chief of Police Rimbach does not
know what to do with his patient. The
sisters at the hospital say they can not
afford to take in such case for the
reason that they have neither the ac-
commodations or the help which is re-
quired TO look after violent patient
owing to the fact that the city has
failed to provide adequate hospital ia
cilities for sick prisoners, it is neces-
sary for John Pope to lie in the poor
ly ventilated cell in the jail and there
struggle until his life ends.
DR.. H. E. Sharrer was called to at
tend the patient and pronounced his
case dangerous one. He realized that
the sisters in the hospital had their
hands full and could not take care of
such a patient and also deprecated the
fact that the city did not provide hos
pltal facilities for such prisoners.
VIII Try to Get Him There.
He decided to see what he could do
to get the prisoner into the hospital
and in the event of his failure it will |
be necessary to have Mr.. Pope turned
over to the township trustee and have
some arrangements made for his care. |
John Pope was taken to the county |
poor farm some time ago on the verge
II delerium tremens, but his condition |
was improved somewhat and he was
'eleased 1t is believed that he de-
ioerately suicided by going back to |
lrinking and is now paying the penalty. |

FIRST TASTE OF WINTER

The first taste of winter was expert
enced in Lake county yesterday when
a near-snow rain of .03 of an inch fell
while the temperature varied but four
degrees, from 43 to AZ degrees. in the
twenty -four hours. The twenty-four-
miles an-hour wind from the south
west, where snow and cold blasts have
been ra ging, and the mean temperature
OF 45 degrees made the day cold and
dreary. Unsettled conditions prevailed
throughout the west, with snow in
the northwest and rains in the middle
west. Cold temperatures were record
ed northwest and north. Battleford be-
ing the lowest, with 24 degrees above
zero, while San Francisco and Los An

HIGH SCHOOLS IN A
DRAW ON GR|D|RON
Score for Hammond and
Rensselaer, Game Ends
in Tie, 6 to 6.
WILL PLAY A RETURN GAME

guished Themselves Among
Local Players.

Although Hammond was not vic
torious last Saturday She was not
defeated nor her prestige lowered. six
TO six tells the story, but another game
VIII be played between Rensselaer, and
Hammond high school at Renssalae.
me game started with Hammond
kicking off to Rensselaer,. They failed
TO advance the ball and Hammond
gained. Fubling was a large drawback
70 Hammond and the purple and white
lost possession of the ball good many
times on this account. The ball zig
gagged in the field, first in possession
of one side and than the other. The
pail was in Rensselaer, territory most
OF the time during the latter mart of
the first half. Hammond tried nu-
merous times to make a field drop but
the ball went wild or was blocked each
time. The half then ended.
Bitter Contest.
The halves We're 25 and 20 minutes
each and for the whole of the first half
neither team was able to score. In the
hrst ten minutes of the second half
Renssalaer scored a touchdown and
kicked goal. That gave them six points
and 1t began to look rather dark for
the Hammond team considering the fact
that the first half had been so bitterly
contested.
However, within eight minutes of the
end of the game Hammond secured a
touchdown and by kicking goal tied
the score. The Hammond team then
started in the few remaining minutes
OF the play, to rushing down the field
with the ball and If the contest had
lasted two minutes longer the game
would have been won by the Hammond
team on another touchdown.
Hollis Hunter made one of the long
est runs of the game when. he Went
thirty yards down the field but the
very fact that there were no longer
runs is an indication of the splendid |
defense of the opposing team and the
eloseness of the game as a whole.
The work of Ebert, Hammonds left
ackle. and of Murray, Hammond's right |
ackle was excellent Atwood starred |
It end and these three men made some |
great gain through the enemy's lines |
Kennedy at left half was also good.
Walter Sohl was referee while Nor
son of Rensselaer, was umpire. Pro-
essor Hill was field Judge and Farmer
smith of this city, was head linesman.
There was no criticism of the officials
# the game.

QUESTION RAISED
BY SPRING VALLEY
Water Company Demurs to COM
plant OF 3,4O5 Victims OF
the Big Fire
Point Is Urged That the Federal
Court Has No Jurisdiction
in the Case

The Spring Valley water company
filed demurrer yesterday to the suit
which had been instituted by some
3,405 claimants who asked for dam
ages running well into the millions
for the losses they sustained by rea-
son or the fire of April 1906. The
water company attacks the sufhciency
Of the complaint The company fol-
lowed the demurrer with notice OF a
motion to dismiss the suit. The mo-
tion is based on the contention that the
court is without Jurisdiction.
The attorneys for the Spring Valley
have not taken seriously the gigantic
claims OF the multitudinous litigants,
but viii ask the Judge to throw the en-
tire matter out OF court 1t is claimed
that the federal court has no jurisdic-
tion in the matter.
Although announcement has been
who represents the claimants. that suit
would be begun asking for a receiver
for the Spring Valley. no action has
yet been commenced. 1t was also al
legged that Joseph Choate would repre-
sent the claimants in Washington. A
dispatch received last night from New
York quotes Choate as saying that he
is interested in no litigation in which
the Spring Valley water company is in
volved- Choate stated that he repre-
sented certain Insurance. companies in
suits begun by San Francisco fire vic
Tins, but was in no way concerned in
the Spring Valley controversy.
