up in every possible way by the local
authorities.
This afternoon Deputy Austiss went
to the Guinness farm with a heavy set
stranger, to whom he showed carefully
all the details of the scene of the last
weeks tragedy.
When asked who the visitor was, he
said that the man in the blue coat was
an official, but that he had no hand in
the case. and left the impression that
he was politician to whom courtesy
was shown.
Several hours later it was learned
that the mysterious stranger was C. ].
Smith, one of the Chicago superintend-
ents of the Pinkerton force. A state
ment from a reliable source was that
he told States Attorney Smith that
he had sufficient evidence that Lam
phere set fire to the Guinness house to
covict him
Superintendent Smith was the center
of conference in the states attorney s
office that lasted until a late hour.

cutor Sheriff Shutter, his two depu-
ties. Coroner Mack, and DR.. ]. s. Nc

Prosecutor Boone Threatens
Wholesale Arrests at
Hosford Park.

Wholesale indictments are likely to
wind up the present feud that for the
past ten years has been going on be-
tween all the inhabitants of Hosford
Park, a little settlement several miles
from Gary. Or else those who are left
to tell the sad tale after the courts get
through with them may fall to and kill
each other off in order to make a good
job of the merry war
Prosecuting Attorney David Boone is
the man who is responsible for the
threat and there seems little doubt
that within the next few weeks
or possibly days, the entire population
CT the hamlet will be vending it's way
to Crown Point to tell six of their peers
what they know about it.
Puff VS.. Arnold Last Straw.
The incident that has brought mat
ters to head was the case of Mrs
Mary Puff, who had Jack Arnold ar
rested for assault and battery The
LEGAL Justice recently tired of the bick-
erings and broils of the parties to the
feud, and refused to issue any further
warrants in their behalf The result
was that the cases have been brought
to Gary of late. The crimes with which
the parties to the feud charge each
other embrace trespass, the poisoning
OF each others cattle and numerous
misdemeanors too numerous to men

Justice A. K. Townsley Of Gary, who
has fallen heir to the '1awing" of the
Hosford Park folk, grew tired ofthe
trouble of settlement sooner than did
his predecessor, the local Hosford Park
magistrate. In order to discourage
further chickering's he dismissed the suit
brought by Mrs. Puff against Arnold
All of the parties interested, the prin-
cipals and twenty eight witnesses trail

Brutality Assaults Woman.
The next heard was that Arnold had
gone over to the home of Mrs. Puff
which is on a farm near his place, and
nearly killed her.
He beat, kicked and checked the
woman according to the allegations Of

TO FIGHT VACATION
COMMONWEALTH
Indiana Harbor Citizens
Will Hold Mass Meeting
Monday Night.

Indiana Harbor citizens are greatly
wrought up over the proposed vacation
of Commonwealth as it effects Blocks
II and 25. So deeply do they resent
the action of the city council in pass
ing the resolution vacating the street
without compensation to the city by the
c. L. S. & e. in whose interests the
vacation was made, that mass meet
ing has been called for Monday night to
take place either at Cline's hall or at
the Auditorium. The place of meeting
will most likely be definitely decided
upon today. The meeting is for the
purpose of protesting against the ac-
ton of the city council and forcing the
aldermen to a reconsideration of their
action, before the minutes of the last
meeting are approved.
Mayor DeBrafe's sympathies are with
the citizens and there will be little
difficulty in getting him to veto the
measure, but there is a question
whether his veto will be of sufficient
power to stand out against the deter
mination of those aldermen who favor
the measures. Mayor DeBraie opposed
the resolution from start to finish at
the meeting of the city council last
Monday night while Aldermen Albert
Lewis and E. V. Walton came out es-
pecially strong in its favor.
What the mayor and the citizens
demand is that the railroad company
give some documentary proof that they
will transfer the riparian rights along
the lake shore from Woodbine street
to Lake place to the city in return for
the city's vacation of Commonwealth
avenue. which embraces over nine acres
in its length and breadth.
Lewis Inconsistent.
Alderman Lewis had seen a letter
written by one of the officers of the
company, to this effect However. 1t is
pointed out that Alderman Lewis was
very emphatic in his demand on the
occasion of the same meeting that
tangleable evidence of good faith in the
form of a contract be drawn up. bind

promises to the city in the park matter.
The citizens declare they cannot under
stand the Alderman's inconsistent atti-
ltudes and also they are puzzled over

pREvENrlvEs AND REMEDIES

To grind valve properly secure some
powdered emery, No. 100 Do not use
coarse emery, as it tends to make the
valve seats rough. Place small guam
tity of the emery in a saucer or some
other similar receptacle and add enough
kerosene oil to make a fluid mixture
Then add five to ten drops of lubrlcating
oil to give it body. 1t is mistake to
use too much emery; a few grains with
plenty of kerosene and oil will grind
valve quicker and do better job than
large quantity. In grinding valves
great care must be taken not to allow
any emery powder to get into the CYL
inder itself. To prevent this fasten
piece of ordinary waste to a strong string
and jam the waste into the cylinder,
so that the emery in grinding will fall
into the waste and be drawn out when 1t
is removed. After the waste is in place
put a small amount of the oil and emery
mixture on the bevel face of the valve
and with screwdriver or other suitable
tool grind the valve carefully by rotating
on it's own seat in the cylinder. While
grinding the valve should be frequently
lifted clear of it's seat, the object being
to prevent a grain of emery from scoring
the iron. Ten minutes careful grinding
should be sufficient to seat a valve that
is in fairly good condition. The valve
should then be removed from the cyl
inder and carefully washed in gasoline
and the valve seat wiped out perfectly
clean.

The "old English coach" a 1908 Pope

favorable comment and was the center Of

Experts who have seen this car pro-
nounce it a masterpiece of the body
builders art. The design is refinement
of the latest French model.
The history of the old English coach
is interesting. Briefly told. it was an
early means of travel in Southern Eu-
rope. A coach would accommodate a
family of average number and each coach
was named some simple title, such as
Old Times, Good Luck, Pleasure, etc.
About the same time. in France, a SINH
lar vehicle was introduced, known as the
When Louis XVI came to the throne he
wanted a coach which would be repre-
sentative of his age, and ordered one
built combining the old English idea with
the idea of the French diligence. The
result was a vehicle having the strength
and durability of the old English coach
coupled with the grace and elegance of
the French diligence. The Louis XVI
coach rapidly replaced the old idea in
both countries and became the popular
conveyance.
The Pope-Toledo is a revival of the
Louis XVI design and is said to be the
highest excellence of this very historical

T. III. Tetzluff drove the Pope-Toledo of

The time between the various points

Several stops were made en- route to
take care of tire trouble and broken
springs. Not taking into account the
time the party stopped over night, they
spent 20 hours and "a minutes on the road
including time for meals.
Another party that came in the opposite
direction did not have such a good rec
ord to their credit, having been lost for
hours on the desert. They were some
time without food or water. After spend

posed to an extremely hard rain that
