Der OF buyers were on hand and kept
up sharp fire of bidding that resulted
in the best sale since the market went
off two months ago and notwith-

other horse markets fail 10 snow up in
as favorable light as mere.
Bidding Active.
While the bidding was active the
prices were firm and steady and would
show falling off from the sales of
two months ago of probably $50 on
certain classes of horses. Horses
bought prior to November when the
market was excellent, and held by
feeders are the class alluded to above.
Few of the high class horses were
in evidence Friday and while a good
ly number We're sold, about IS in az,
they were made up of business
chunks, farm animals and southern
horses. When summed up the sale
was very good for declining market

former sale by a few head. The fol-

Parkside was the scene of serious
accident yesterday afternoon in which
two people were badly hurt. Henry
Henry Beardslee. who was driving a
grocery wagon had just turned the
corner of Seventy-fifth street and
W oodlawn avenue when his wagon
collided with aother delivery wagon in
charge of John Miller, the result was
that both wagons were overturned and
one of the horses was most Instantly
killed. When the rubbish had been
cleared away, Miller was picked UP
unconscious and Beardslee was unable
to move. having fractured his collar
bone. Both the young men were re-
moved to the hospital where they are
being cared for.
| The horses death was caused by the
shaft from one of the wagons running
into 1t.
| Within a few minutes a large crowd
gathered and released the other horses
| from the broken wagon and attended TO
the injured men.
| Just how the accident occurred has
not yet been determined as both of the
drivers refuse to discuss the matter.

INDIANA HARBOR
is JOLLYING ITSELF
Indications Are That Times
Will Pick UP Much
Very Shortly.
SUPT. LEES IS CONSERVATIVE
Additional Men Will Be Taken on
in the Magic City Some Time
This Week.

Indiana Harbor has cause to rejoice
over the bright outlook for the future
of the Inland Steel mills and present
improved conditions.
The construction work that was
dropped last October when the hard
times" struck the country. has been re-
sumed today. including the men at
work on the new structures, there are
employed at the big plant 1000 men,
which Is about twice as many as We're
working there two months ago.
superintendent Lees declared this
morning that there would be additional
men taken on this week, which will
still further increase the working force
but just what number he was expecting
to hire, he would not state.
The fact that the work has been re-
sumed on the vast improvements be-
gun last summer, the Indiana Harbor-
ties argue, speaks volumes for the fu-
ture and must indicate that the steel
company has reason to believe that
times will soon pick up, as of course
it is not to the interest of any large
concern to erect valuable buildings and
install expensive machinery to merely
lie idle. superintendent Lees, how
ever, Is conservative to a degree, in
accordance with the policy of the In
land people, and is not making any
loud talk of what the company ex-
poets or has in view The work in
progress, however. speaks for itself
The improvements under way are
most extensive, including a mammoth
boiler house, pump house, new con
tinuous' mill and a blooming mill.
The buildings represent a vast outlay
and when completed will make room
for a considerably larger force than
has ever been employed at the big
plant.
The resumption OF work on these
buildings was begun three of four
weeks ago, but so quietly that nobody
realized what important operations
were in the wind, nor augured any
thing from it. Gradually however, the
force was increased, until now there is
a swarm of workmen employed on the
buildings and there is every prospect
that the work will be pushed to com
pletion at an early date.

BURGLARS MAKE HAUL.
Enter Burnside Home and Steal $500
Worth of VaIuabIes.

Burglars yesterday evening entered
the home of Arthur Hefton in Burnside,
getting away with jewelry and silver
ware amounting to over $500. While the
occupants of the house were sleeping
the burglars entered through a rear
window in the basement, and going
into the sideboard relieved it of all
valuables.
Yesterday Mr.. Hefton stated that his
loss would undoubtedly reach above
$500. Some pieces stolen were gifts
that money could not cover.
The police have started an investi-
cation, but so far no clew has been
found to the thieves identity.
