$40 LIS. RESTORED
TO HARBOR SERVICE
Committee Named by Boost
ers to Accomplish This
Does Quick Work.

The committee appointed by the
Boosters Commercial club of Indiana
Harbor to confer with the Lake Shore
officials with view of having restored
to Indiana Harbor the service of the
train which, until last Sunday, made
"a stop at the station at $40 a. M on its
way east from Chicago, went up to
Chicago yesterday to meet the railway
men. It took them but very short
while to convince the officials that it
was to the interests of all concerned
was that this morning the stop was made
for the first time since the recent order
disseminating the stop went into effect.
The committee was composed of
Charles z. Fowler, Mayor DeBraie and
w. w Moberly.
Indiana Harbor citizens who have
been in the habit of making use of
this train to go to their work in Gary,
declare that real estate agents of Gary
who desire to compel them to live in
the steel city are at the bottom of the
recent discontinuance of the train at
this point. There are about 100 Indiana
Harborites who have been disconnected
by the order cutting out Indiana Harbor
as a regular stop for the $40 east bound
Lake Shore.
| The Boosters club this morning was
praised on all sides for it's enterprise
in going after this matter and Messrs
omitted in the bestowal of the praise.

THE CIGARS ON HIM

The cigars are on Attorney ]. Glen
Harris. While on a recent visit to a
young woman at Miller, Mr.. Harris
met with a misfortune that, while
there has not yet been any damage
inflicted to his person as yet, he is not
any too optimistic as to the outcome.
The accident happened last Sunday
night and the damage will be irrepar-
able.
AS the trains are only running at
long intervals to Miller, Mr.. Harris
found it necessary to arrive in the city
some time in the evening a little later
than would be desirable to him. In
his haste to get to the house Mr.. Har-
ris found himself INSTRUCTED by a stub
born front gate that refused to omen
under any consideration He pulled
and pushed on it in vain. and in the
meantime said things to himself that
would not have sounded well to one
who might have been waiting for him
within.
With the utmost contempt for the
stubborn gate. Mr.. Harris retreated a
few feet and with commendable agility
and strength cleared the Intervening
obstacle between himself and the
house. And that's where the trouble
began. Just back of the fence which
had Been locked were several squares
| Of freshly laid cement sidewalk, into
which Mr.. Harris landed pelI-meIl. and
before he could recover himself had
made many imprints which aroused all
of the righteous wrath of the owner
of the house and sidewalk.
| The imprint of the foot of the guilty
party can still be seen in the sidewalk,
and will likely be only question of
time until the Gary attorney Will be
captured. AS the owner Of the house
| is said to be measuring the size of
every shoe that enters the premises.
there is likely TO be some interesting
developments in the future.
