MAKES SOCIAL CALL
On Whiting Girl and Falls
Writing in a
Fit.

While making a social call on Miss
Nellie Quinn Of Whiting, Harry Ber-
nard of South Chicago, who is en-
ployed as bookkeeper for the South
Chicago Collecting Agency, was sud
denly taken sick. and before the
frightened young lady knew what had
happened, he was writhing in con-
yulsions on the floor.
The young man had been apparently
in good health and spirits all evening.
Shortly after 10 o'clock he decided he
had better return home and he ac-
cordingly made an effort to catch the
car.
He missed 1t, however, and returned
to the home of Miss Quinn to wait for
the next one. 1t was while there that
he was taken with the commissions
DR., B. U. Doolittle of Whiting was
called and with the assistance of five
other men, an effort was made to quiet
the young man.
Finally he succeeded and Bernard
remained at the Quinn home until he
was finally taken to st. Anthony's hos
pital in Chicago. Mr.. and Mrs. Ber
nard, of Madison, Wis, were notified
of the condition Of their son and came
to Whiting to see him before he left
for the hospital.

EXPRESS
THEIR INDIGNATION
Vacation of Clark Road Will
be Hard Nut for Off
Gals to Crack.
COOKED AND PRIMED FOR FRAY
United States Steel Company Will
Have Big Scrap on It's
Hands.

Toleston, Ind, April 16.-(SpeciaIl-
The agitation against tee vac,tior -
the Clark road will not down. In spite
of the efforts of the officials of the
United States Steel company to smooth
the matter over and secure what they
want without fight there are hundreds
OF men in both Calumet and North
townships who are watching the mat
ter carefully and are cooked and primed
Tor a good fight soon as the county
commissioners take up the consideration
of the matter.
The Clark road is one of the most i'm
portant thoroughfares in Lake county
IL extends south from the lake for a
distance of four miles and connects with
the great system of country boulewards
in the heart of the county.
1t is not only the only means of
reaching Clarke station from the south
but it is the only means the farmers
throughout the entire southern part of
the county have Of reaching Lake Mich
igan.
They have taken advantage of this
road to hold picnics and other outings
on the lake shore and it is safe to saw
that protest will be heard from every
farmer in the county If the effort is
made to vacate this road
William Kunert, the trustee of Calu-
met, is in receipts of a great many
communications from people all over
the county who are anxious to know
what is to be done about this road
They have heard that the United
States Steel company acting for the
Chicago, Lake Shore & Eastern rail-
road a subsidiary corporation. has
been agitating the vacating of the
Clark road from Clark to the lake in
order that it will not be necessary to
construct an expensive viaduct over the
yards which the railroad is now build
ing at this place.
One Lake county man, writing to Mr..
kunert, says, Il do not think it is
right for the railroad to ask for the
vacating Of a road that cost Calumet
township thousands of dollars simply
because 1t does not want to build a
viaduct over its yards. This road is
important IT being the only one from
the country districts to the lake, be-
tween Indiana Harbor and Miller"
The writer continues IF the county
commissioners allow the Chicago. Lake
SlioAo * Eastern 10 Vacate the Clark
road 1T will mean that they are willing
to forget the whole northern part of
the county in their efforts to please the
United States Steel corporation"
1t is not known how soon the mat
ter will be considered by the county
commissioners but the opinion seems
to be that there will be an equitable
settlement of the matter and that the
United States Steel company will make
some provision for the crossing of the
yards by viaduct rather than insist
ing on the vacating of the road.

IS RETURNING
One Hundred and One Lots
Sold in Gary to Ball
Club.

There is an encouraging return of
activity in the real estate business in
Gary and Toleston. The most import
ant deal of the week was the sale of
1O1 lots in two blocks at the corner
of Hobart and Main streets in Gary, to
the promoters of the Gary Baseball
club
This crowd of men have already made
arrangements for the land necessary
for their ball park. but they all had
little money to invest and they de-
cided to buy the lots described above.
The deal is simply for the purpose
of speculation, and the promoters Of
the project expect to get rid of the
land as soon as they can do SO at a.
profit.
Ludwig Koepke. through his attor-
nex, George Bardon. sold one lot each
to Thomas E. Knots and G. ]. Bader
Of Whiting. Four other lots were sold
to E. K. Finding of Chicago. The
price paid for the property was $4,000
and 1t was purchased as an invest
ment.
In addition to this, five lots in the
second Oak Park addition were sold
by l. A. Bryan to George Smith for
$4,000. AS spring opens up it is ex-
pected that the sale of realty will be
even more brisk than it is now and
1t is expected to continue throughout
the summer despite the industrial de-
preston that is being felt all over the
country.

MILLER NOW HAS
MOUNTED POLICE
Marshal Klopf Issues Order
and Carries it Out
Himself.

An innovation in police work has
been started by Marshal Edward Klopf
of Miller, in demanding that the police
force, consisting of Patrolman Edward
Klopf, be hereafter mounted In com
pliance with the order therefore, Mr.
Klopf has purchased a big stalwart
horse with which he patrols his beat,
consisting of the entire town, night and
day. The sight of the uniformed of
fcer parading down the main streets
OF the city on his gallant steed has so
awed the natives of the city that they
are as meek as lambs and stand at
all times ready to obey his every COM
mand
Mr. Klopf received his horse Monday
and has spent the fore part of the
week in trying out the animal. Mean
while the officials of the city are about
to arrange an official review of the
mounted force as soon as the spirited
animal can agree with the marshal as
to the proper way to conduct himself
on such occasions and live up to it's
requirements while on duty
Late this afternoon when a number
of the knights of the road" were seen
scurrying through Gary, bound west
ward, they were stopped and questioned
by the local police. They reported
That they had been surprised in an
attack from an attachment of the
United States cavalry and were hasten
ing to lengthen the breach between
themselves and the enemy. Further
investigation showed that the mounted
police force of Miller had driven them
out OF town, and the hos" have re-
solved to scratch Miller off their list
OF supply stations on future tours in
this vicinity

mas proven to be wonderfully success

HUNGRY; BUT ARE
SPOTLESSLY CLEAN
Case of Destitution is Re
ported by Gary Police
Yesterday.
BRAVE WIFE SHOWS METTLE
0verworked Mother Has Six Little
Children and Sick Husband
to Care For.

In spotlessly clean kitchen, six
clean. ragged and hungry children were
being cared for and watched over by a
worried, over-worked mother while the
father, who had been injured in the
Gary mills months ago and had been
out Of work since that time lay help
less in bed, unable to relieve the suf-
fering of his starving family.
This was the worst of the six cases
of restitution with which the Gary DO
lice were compelled to deal yesterday,
and the sight of that perfectly clean
nome and the mother whose activities
under adverse circumstances had made
such cleanliness possible, aroused the
admiration of the police and arrange
ments were at once made to look after
the sufferers.
The story of this family is one of
the saddest that has come out of Gary
in many day. D. Niprncenska came
to Gary about four months ago after
hearing that employment could be Sc
cured there.
He located his family in a house at
the corner of Seventeenth and Mary
land streets and at once secured work
lie had not been employed three days
When he was struck over the head and
was taken home in an unconscious con-
dition.
Since that time he has been confined
TO his bed and the only means Of sun
port for his family has been the work
that his brave little wife could do
when she was not scrubbing her own
Kitchen or taking care of her six little
children and her sick husband.
But when the police entered the home
and saw how bravely she had tried
to keep things together and discovered
that in spite of her brave efforts she
and her children had eaten no food for
three days. the hearts of the officers
melted and they determined to see that
she was properly cared for.
Provisions were also made to look
after the five other families which
were found to be in dire need of as
sistance and they, too, will be taken
care of.

Fall jobbing trade, and to a

the continuance of buyers excur-

at leading Northwestern and South

further gain shown at many South
