The Union Electric co, and 3. =,

Oct. /, 1909, about equally divided
between Bucks, Ramblers, Fords and
Maxwells. The two-cylinder Buick

$1O50; the new 4-cylinder Ford tour

The county now has about liO cars

The cars are distributed this way:
Abilene 40, Herington IS, Solomon 6,

by the end Of 1909, 200 cars will be
in use in the county. Farmers are
about the best customers now.

HUMAN MONSTROS|TY
CHAINED To FLOOR
Gorilla Like Child Causes
Consultation Among the
Gary Physicians.
HAS A VOICE BUT NO SPEECH
Mother Tells Investigators That Boy
Years Old, Suffered Injury to
Skull When Is Months Old.

A consultation of physicians was held
in Gary yesterday afternoon over what
is considered one of the most peculiar
monstrositfes ever developed in the
region. The boy, who is foreign parent
age and is about years of age, re-
sembles more than anything else in
actions and in looks a gorilla. His
voice is as low as an ordinary mans,
but has never spoken a word in his
life. Instead of speaking as the or
binary human being he growls like an
animal.
The child has never fed itself in it's
life. and whenever the mother is away
for any purpose the child is chained to
the floor to prevent his killing himself
or either of the two other children.
Yesterday morning the baby crawled
over to the human gorilla. and while
the mother was gone 1t whipped the
baby almost into Inconsistencies.
The child is now getting big and
strong physically, so that the mother
who has kept the child in the house
since it's birth will be forced to have
t. sent to some public institution The
pby yesterday while his hands were
free started to pound his ear. and be-
fore he was noticed had the left ear
almost raw. The conference of the
physicians was held to see whether or
not the child could be relieved by an
operation. The mother told them that
the chiId's skull had been severely
injured by a fall when it was only
is months old. The parents of the
child are Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Purpfch

EXTEND WATER SYSTEM
Gary City Supply Pushed

Today.

The construction of the water sys-

it has now reached a stage where it
will be pushed across the Wabash
tracks today and the people in that
section of the city will be supplied
with water service in a few days The
water company has been waiting for
the sewer contractors to break down
the embankment of the Gary and
Western. so that they could put through
their water pipes at the same time.
They have now accomplished this and
are prepared to push the water serv-
ice as far south as Thirteenth street
as soon as possible.
This will make it possible for the
fire department to have a greater lati-
tude in the district in which they can
fight fire with hose. Now the prop
erty owners of Thirteenth street will
have just as much protection as the
property owners in the first sub-di-
vision.

MAKING READY
FOR Mr.. G0MPERS
Gary Federation Will Build
Platform For Speaker
Next Week.
SPEAKS At ELEVEN O'CLOCK
Difference In Opinion Among Labor
Unions as to Propriety of
Gomper's Campaign.
SPEAKS At ELEVEN O'CLOCK

The visit of Mr.. Samuel Gompers to
Gary is being arranged for by the
American Federation of Labor. He is
to arrive in Gary Oct 16 and will get
into the city on the Lake Shore train
at II o'clock.
The Federation of Labor is planning
to build a platform for the speaker
near the Lake Shore depot where he
can talk to the assembled crowds Mr..
Gompers is making all of his own ar
rangements and will simply rely on
the democrats in Gary to get out the
crowd
Don't Think He Should Dictate.
AS the speech is to be at IL o'clock
it is not believed that many of the
Gary workingmen will be able to hear
the speech. Many workingmen are
not particularly interested in Mr. Com
pers anyway since he has come out in
favor of the Bryan ticket, and many of
them believe, with other officers of the
great federation. that Gompers has no
more right to dictate the way they
shall vote than any one else.
Mr. Gompers will not allow the
democrats in Gary to do more than
get out the crowd for the reason that
he wants to work his old game of max
ing the people believe that he is really
a republican gone wrong because the
republicans did not do all he wanted
them to.
But the people of Gary have been
prepared for that statement for they
were shown by Congressman E. D.
Crumpacker in speech that Mr.. Com
pers at Lafayette said positively that
he was not republican.
There is an honest difference of opin-
ion among workingmen as to the adj
visibility of Mr.. Gompers' going over
the country spending the money of the
federation in advancing Bryan's cam
paign.
