HEARS HIS BROTHERS
DEATH OVER WIRE
Telegraph Operator at Gary
Does Not Recognize
the Name.
APPRAISED WITH A SAD SHOCK
Carl Smith, Agent at Wabash Depot,
Called to Hobart for the
Inquest.

Sitting by his telegraph instrument
in the Wabash depot Monday night at
Gary, Carl Smith heard the report of
the terrible accident of the man killed
on the Pennsylvania railroad. Little
did he think that yesterday he would
receive message stating the man who
was ground to pieces under the wheels
of the flyer was no more or less than
that of his own brother.
Yesterday shortly after IL o'clock
Smith received a message from De-
fiance. Ohio. from his parents saying
that his brother, Arthur, had been kill
ed on the Pennsylvania railroad near
Liverpool, Ind, the night before. The
story of the horrible death of the man
the night before now dawned upon
Smith and the shock was great when
he learned that it was his own brother.
Smith left yesterday afternoon for
Hobart, here the inquest over the re-
mains of his brother is being held. He
will accompany the body to Defiance,
Ohio.
Has IN invalid Mother.
So far as could be learned today, it
could not be established just how
Smith met his death. He had just
started to work for the Pennsylvania
about three days before and was sta
toned at Liverpool Monday awaiting
his turn on the switchingAcr 1t is
thought he was walking along the
| tracks near Liverpool when he was
| struck.
Carl Smith, the operator at the Wa.
bash station at Gary, was at home to
spend Thanksgiving day. He saw his
brother at that time and said that he
wished he would not go back to work
at braking- again, for it was only {
matter of time until he would get hurt
His words only came too true
Mrs. Smith. the mother of the de
ceased, is an invalid and is so low i
is not known whether she can with
stand the shock.
Mr.. Smith has many friends at Gar,
and much sympathy is rendered to hin
in his sad bereavement.

ARRANGE FOR LECTURES

The Gary Masonic Social club held
meeting last night at the Gary Hotel
at which time each member was sup
piled with a number of tickets for
the lecture course which is being given
under the auspices of the club.
From the way the tickets are being
disposed of at the present time, shows
conclusively that the entertainments
promise to become very popular.
The first attraction of the lecture
course will be on December 9Th, when
the Oriole Concert company will ap-
pear. There are few attractions in the
lyceum field that have been received
with more warm applause than this
concert company.
Following are the other attractions
of the course:

Feb. 17-Opie Read.
March 6-Lyceum Grand Concert Co.
| The committee last night, who were
appointed some time ago, to look after
securing suitable rooms for the club
made their report and rooms will be
secured later.

Guilty.

Indiana Harbor, Ind. Dec. 2. - AL
of Judge G. z. Reiland that the de-

through lack of evidence. to dismiss
the assault and battery proceedings
brought by Andrew Baroch against Pat

Baroch declared that he was ordered
by Kiloran to pick up a large sheet of
metal, weighing several hundred
pounds. He was given one helper, but
found that the weight was even be-
yond the capacity of their combined
strength. He naturally asked for as
sistance, and was told that he could
not have any more helpers, and ordered
to "get busy" Seeing that a conflict
was bound to follow, Baroch took the
alternative, as he thought, and asked
for his wages Instead of getting these

MORE BLIND P|GGERIE:S
Gary Police Buy Liquor
in Speak Easies With
Ease.

1t is known to the police of Gary
that there are several saloons in the
Patch" in Gary which are supposed
to be closed and have no licenses, and
yet are "speak-easy" places.
A representative of the police de-
partment went into five of these places
yesterday and succeeded in getting
drink in each of them. He found that
both beer and whisky were being sold.
The police will make another investi-
cation in the near future. AID if the
condition is not improved there will be
a number of arrests under the blind
tiger law.
There are very few of the saloons on
the south side which now have licenses
and yet it is understood that practi-
cally all of them have supplies of beer
and whisky on hand to sell to those
who can be trusted
The Gary police do not propose to
tolerate this sort of lawlessness, and
there will be arrests in the very near
future If the practice is not stopped

COMES WITHOUT PAPERS
Fred Winter, Gary Contrac-
tor, Furnishes Bail in
Circuit Court.

Fred Winter, the Gary contractor.
who was arrested in Chicago for the
larceny of a load of tile, has agreed
to be good and will come to Lake coun-
ty Indiana and stand trial without
compelling the authorities to go to the
trouble of getting. out requisition pa
pers.
Yesterday Deputy Sheriff frost was
expecting to go to Chicago to take the
necessary steps to compel Winter to
come to Lake county, when he was in
formed that Winter had gone to Crown
Point and furnished bail there.
This will insure his appearance in
the circuit court here and will avoid
all of the trouble which was exepcted
to extradite him. The case was set
for trial in February.
Winter is said to be a man of con-
siderable means and he is said to have
fine residence in Chicago. The case
has attracted a. great deal of attention
in Gary and the rest of the county

GARY TOWN BOARD
LETS $40 CONTRACT
Gallagher and Williams to
Build Temporary Fire
Station.
THE WORK BEGINS At ONCE
Another Request Is Made of All Rail
roads to Erect Gates in the
City Limits.

The contract was let yesterday after
noon by the town board for the con-
struction of the new fire station, which
will be located at the southwest cor
ner of Seventh avenue and Massachu-
sets street. This property is in the
rear of the Victoria hotel and has
been leased to the city for the tempo
rary station.
The contract price for the work was
ss40 and was the bid offered by GAL
1agher & William. The only other bid
der was Henry Miller. who wanted
S1,150. The contract, which will be
drawn up with Gallagher Williams.
stipulates that the work shall be COM
pleted by the 18th of this month. This
means that the work win have to be
started at once and rushed to compile
ton.
The plans are 50 arranged that the
building can be constructed easily. It
will be 24x40 feet in size and will have
tar roof and tar covering for the
sides. In this station will be kept one
horse. two men and various other
equipment which will be known as the
central station.
| The only other important matter to
be discussed by the board was the re-
ply of the railroads to their request
to have gates placed at all of their
| crossings. because of the accidents
which have resulted from the danger.
The railroad which has been the least
| guilty of this offense and which the
town board intended to be the most
lenient with was the only one to re-
ply. The board will undoubtedly take
further action in an attempt to secure
the safety of the public.

TO BUILD Ten HOUSES
Frank Gavit Will Reduce
the Demand for
Residences.

The plans were completed yesterday
by Architect ]. J. Verplank of Gary for
the construction of ten new houses on
the south side for Frank N. Gavit,
president of the Gary and Interurban
railroad Mr.. Gavit announced that the
construction of the buildings would be
started at once, and that he intended
to have them completed just as soon as
possible.
The buildings will be erected on the
south end on Madison street, between
Twenty-sixth and Twenty seventh
streets. Mr. Gavit owns an entire
block at this place and half of this
block will be filled up with the resi-
dences at once and the other half will
be filled with houses next spring by
The interurban president.
All of the houses to be built will be
constructed of brick and will cost about
$1,000 apiece. This will be a splendid
thing for the south side and will aid
materially in reducing the demand for
residences which is growing every day
and which will not likely be met by
much residence during the winter.
Mr.. Gavit, beside the block In the
south end. owns many other lots in
Gary and he has not made any plans
for them as yet, but he will not dis
pose of his other property, but will hold
it for the purpose of building The
contract for the construction of the
buildings will be let next week

In a Letter to Town Board
Captain FL. S. Norton Tells
Members that Gary Land
Company Is Not Respon-
sible for Conditions.
ATTENTION TO
STREET GAR COMPANY
Says That Delay in Paving Broad
way Is Cause for Unsightly Condi-
tons Existing on That Thorough
fare-Co-0peration, However, Is
Assured.

In a reply to the letter of the Gary
town board, yesterday, concerning the
drifting sand, Captain H S. Norton,
property agent retorted in a way that
suggested What more do you want"
He also took the opportunity to take
shot at the Gary and Interurban,
whom he blames to a certain extent for
the sand accommodating on the streets.
In regard to the drifting sand which
has been menace to Gary for the past
two years, Captain Norton said in the
letter that they had already done ev-
erything that they could in protect
ing the streets and the comfort of the
people by covering the residence prop
erty with black dirt and sowing grass
seed. He also says that in addition
to this that they had built fences to
protect the west side of the first sub
division, extending from Eighth to
Fifth avenue.
Captain Norton Answers Letter.
The Land company stated that it was
| their intention to do everything in
their power to mitigate the nuisance.
| They, however, own the largest strips
of property in the first subdivision and
| it is only within their power to pre-
vent the sand blowing from their lots.
The city suggested building fences in
| front of them but it Is not likely that
the Land company will consent to do
| this:
| The letter written by Captain Nor
| ton is as follows:
The Land Company's Answer.
Receipt is acknowledged of your
letter of the 23d inst. The Gary Land
company is keenly alive to the desira-
bility of preventing the shifting OF
sand within the first subdivision and
the avoidance of the accumulation OF
drifting sands in and along the i'm
proved streets, as well as upon resi-
dence lots. With a view of lessening
this Objectionable feature, necessarily
incident to existing conditions in Gary
the company has to a large extent GOV
cred the residence property with blacl
earth and sown grass seeds of variou!
kinds. In addition to this. with a view
of protecting the first subdivision, tn,
company has built fences on the ives
side, extending from Eighth to Fiftl
avenues.
Take Care of Street Car Line.
From time to time attention ha
been given to the company's vacan
property abutting on Broadway, witt
view of preventing the shifting sand

ban Railway company has complete
the paving of Broadway between tn
tracks, a great deal of the unsightl
condition of Broaday to which you re
condition of Broadway. This is not men
: toned with any critical intention, blu
merely to call your attention to tn
e fact.
In conclusion. permit me to assur
the board of trustees that the Gar
Land company will cooperate for tn
l best appearance in the first subdivi
\ sion. Yours very truly,
