November, the men will be put to
work at once The book when com

RUN WITH ELECTRICITY.
Hammond People Can Go to
Gary by Electricity To
morrow Morning.

Harry Lemon of the Chicago. Lake
Shore & South Bend interurban line,
was in the city this morning and said
that by tomorrow the engines would be
discarded on the line between Ham
mond and Gary and the cars would all
run under electric power.
The traffic on the line between Ham
mond and Gary has already reached
large proportions and it is APPARENT that
the road will be fnncial success from
the strt
The work of double tracking the line
between Hammond and Gary will go on
rapidly and before the summer is over
it is expected the service between the
two cities will be as regular as il Will
ever get.
Everybody who has seen the mag
nifiicent palace cars which are being
installed on the new line are surprised
at their beauty and comfort. 1t is safe
to say that nowhere on an interurban
line, whether it be in Indiana, the home
of the interurban, or in Chicago, has
there been seen such such beautiful
cars.

LAKE COUNTY DAY At
GARY STEEL MILLS
Visitors From Rural Dis
tricts to Be Guests of
the Corporation.
GUIDES SHOW THE WONDERS
Gates Were Thrown Open at l
O'Clock Sightseeing an
Exceptional Treat.

Today is Lake county day at the
greatest steel manufacturing industry
erected in the history of mankind. The
gates Of the mills will be thrown open
to all who desire to inspect the Won
derful sight. which few in the country
have been privileged to see. The liber-
ality of the steel company in allowing
the visitors to swarm through the
works and feast their eyes to their
hearts content, on the mills in course
of construction, is an unprecedented
generosity.
No Specific Program.
There has been no program arranged
for the occasion" said Captain H. S.
Norton, yesterday, "as the main idea
of the visitors seems to be to see the
mills. The gates will be swung open
al l o'clock and the visitors will be
taken through the plant under compe-
tent guides. Each detail and all ques-
tions will be explained by the guides.
The party will be allowed to remain in
the plant as long as they like, and
judging from the interest taken in the
plant, it will be several hours before
the inspection will be over
1t is hard to estimate the number
of people in the country who will take
advantage of the opportunity to see the
mills. This will probably be the last
time that they will be given a chance.
and, realizing this. a big crowd is ex-
pected. AS the idea originated with
the farmers in the south end of the
county, and they seem the most de-
sirous to see the steel mills while in
process of construction, 1T is proba BILE
that they will be in the majority.
MAY HEAR SPEECHES.
Several of the farmers have sug-
gested that several speeches be made
after the inspection, and the speakers
will be provided in case they desire to
carry out this part of the program 1t
is also likely that a part of the day
Will be taken UP in seeing the town
of Gary, as there are many who have
never been to the new steel town Lake
county day is a day that will be re-
memebered for some time by both the
visitors and the cityitself.

Hammond doubt the advisability Of the
Indianapolis breweries interfering in

in the coming elections, in spite of the
opposition of the brewery interests,

CHANGE GOOD
Will Probably Get Kid Her
man Go in This City on
Labor Day.

1t begins to appear now that James
Clabby, the pride of Hammond, will
put on a boxing exhibition with Kid
Herman in Hammond on Labor Day.
Reece Powell. who has been promoting
the affair, says that it begins to look
as though the fight would be pulled
off here.
James Clabby has been making so
much progress of late that the Ham
mond fans are very much interested
to know just what he has developed
into. They know of the reputation of
Kid Herman, who a few years ago
threatened to reach the top of the
ladder in the lightweight class.
He is still pretty good man, and If
James Clabby is able to put one over
on him" he will begin to look like
championship material. There is the
possibility that it will mean Hammond
vs.. Hegewisch in the pugilistic bust
ness.
Takes on Parker.
The fight between Jimmy Clabby and
Walter Parker will take place in the
armory at Racine. Wis. which has a
capacity of 5000 people. 1t is to occur
Aug. 26, and win be one of the most
man has ever taken on.
If he can defeat Walter Parker he
will be proven one of the best men in
the business 1t would appear to a
person who does not know Jimmy
Clabby that he is taking on great
many fights. for a young fellow, in a
short space of time, but Clabby's
friends say that he can eat up two or
three bouts a week and still be hungry
for more.
The Hammond fans are hoping that
the bout between Clabby and Herman
can be arranged in this city. and if it
there will be the largest crowd in at
tendance which ever witnessed a fight
in this city.
Jimmy has just passed IS years of
age and came from Racine last night
to visit his father here. He is look
ing well and his friends gave him a
royal welcome.

FIND EMPTY BUGGY;
HARNESS SLASHED
Unknown Person Abandons
Rig Rented From East
Chicago Liveryman.
HOLDUP OR RUNAWAY, WHICH?
Fine Looking Couple Rent Outfit
From Lewis & Rettig and
Disappear After Accident.

A very mysterious case which may
prove to be anything from holdup to
horse stealing episode occurred on Hoff-
man street. between East Chicago and
Hammond last night and has not yet
been solved by the police in either city.
Last evening at about six o'clock a
we'll dressed and prosperous man ac-
companied by a good looking woman
appeared at the livery barn of Lewis
and Rettig in East Chicago and asked
for a rig.
The man whose name was not learn
led by the liveryman in charge said that
he wanted TO drive to Hammond and
said that he would be back in the
evening. He loked all right to the
Lewis and Rettig employe and so he
let him have one of his best horses and
the rig.
Sees Empty Buggy.
Last night Reece Powell was return
ing from East Chicago where he had
been during the evening when he no.

titled the police and they in turn noti-
fed the man in Carter's livery barn to
go out and bring in the outfit.
The buggy was brought in by one
of the barn employees of Carter & Wells
livery and the rig was claimed by Lewis
and Rettig this morning. The horse
was gone and has not yet been found.
fowei Has Theory.
According to Reece Powell. who
found the rig, 1t looked as though the
horse had been frightened and had
run upon the sidewalk. Whether there
was a runaway and the horse ran upon
the sidewalk and was afterwards re-
lesed from the rig by cutting the har-
ness or whether some one held up the
man and woman and took the horse
away from them is only known by the
man and woman who rented the rig.
The rig was headed towards East
Chicago and the accident or ho1dup
whichever it proves to be occurred on
Hoffman street in Hammond at the
point where the concrete walk ends
Later in the day the horse was picked
up by Charles Hewig in East Chicago
and taken to his barn. 1t was turned
over to Lewis and Rettig this aft
ernoon. The East Chicago liverymen
have no idea of how the accident hap
pened.
