cured in the proper manner and with
the demonstrators majority of sixty
still unimpaired, it is hard to see how
the remonstrance can be overthrown.
They Want to Be Fair.
The county commissioners have
shown every indication of their desire
to be fair in the matter and have given
both sides every chance to make their
cases. 1t is not believed, however, that
the attorneys for the saloonkeepers
will be allowed to prolong the sessions
of the commissioners indefinitely and
as most of their important points at
issue have already been settled it is
expected that the commissioners will
take a vote on the remonstrance in
the near future.
Yesterday saw the end of the third
day of the greatest fight of it's kind
that has ever been carried on in this
part of the state where the prohibit
tionists have just begun their activi-
ties.
Adjourn TIL 1 O'clock.
The contestants on both sides were
was decided to adjourn until l o'clock
today, when the fight was resumed.
The auditors office, which is usually
large enough for the meetings of the
county commissioners, was filled to
overlooking. and the crowds so inter
fered with the work of the office that
it was finally found necessary to ad-
journ to a large room in another part
of the courthouse.
Among the leaders in the anti saloon
movement who were questioned by the
county commissioners, were w. S. Gal
lagher of Toleston and H. w. Shafer
of Ross. There was nothing in their
testimony that would support the claim
of the liquor dealers attorneys that the
names on the remonstrance had been
secured by Misrepresentation and moth
ing that proved detrimental to the anti
saloon forces.
Looks Black for Them.
1t is now generally conceded that
the saloons in Calumet township are
doomed unless the attorneys for the
sa1oonkeepers spring some unexpected
coup. 1t is believed that they would
have done this long before If they had
had anything up their sleeves, and that
is the reason why the demonstrators
are jubilant.
The report was circulated in Gary to
day that the county commissioners had
promised NJ. E. Gallon. the attorney
| for the Gary Saloonkeepers' associa-
ton that, providing he secured enough
names to a counter remonstrance, they
would not take action on the remon-
| STRANGE which is now before them.
Arrange for Further Fight.
| It is understood. in view of this fact
that Gallon is circulating the petit
ton and is securing the signatures of
practically everybody he meets
While 1t is a we'll known fact that
counter petition would not affect the
one already filed, 1t is understood that
the purpose of the new petition is to
demonstrate the fact that the first re-
monstrance does not represent the will
of the majority of the residents OF
| Calumet township and on these repre-
sents fight will be made in the upper
courts to defeat the law in this par
! ticular case.

Cares for It's Hogs.


coming from Chicago and Hammond in
the evening generally have the pleas
ure (?) of waiting or side track in
that town, while an Erie stock train
loaded with hogs and cattle are given
the right of way. Werily the Erie takes
good care of its passengers. that is
takes such good care of them that they
would rather send their hog trains in
front of their passenger accommoda-
4ions, but probably the officials have
a good reason for this, for If they sent
their passengers ahead, the stock train
would be very liable to collide with
the rear end of the passenger coach
Meanwhile the passengers sit and grit
their teeth for they can just see those
hogs give them the merry "ha! ha!' as
they go grunting by. o! for that Gary
street car line, then~-vale Erie.
