VICIOUS FIRE HORSE
ATTACKS A FIREMAN
William j. Frazier of Gary
Has a Narrow Escape
Yesterday Afternoon.
FINALLY MAKES HIS ESCAPE
Animal Makes Last Effort to Injure
Him as He Jumps Out Of
Its Way.
FINALLY MAKES HIS ESCAPE

One of the firemen at the Gary sta
tion yesterday afternoon had a narrow
escape from being killed in the stall
of one of the horses recently pur-
chased. The fireman, William j. Fra
zier, was in the stall at the time pet
ting the horse, when suddenly the ami
NAL became angry, set back its ears
and began paving at Frazier.
The latter happened to be in the rear
corner of the stall at the time, so that
when he attempted to make his es-
cape he found that he had been cor
nered. The remainder of the firemen
heard the noise and rushed over to
where Frazier was, but the horse was
only angered the more by their pres
ence. Finally, however, as the horse
rearer on its hind legs, Frazier slipped
by it and hurled himself over the side
of the adjoining stall.
Before Frazier could get over the
high partition, however, the animal bit
at the fireman, tearing a hole in billy
goat" fashion out of the rear of his
trousers. The bite did not injure Mr.
Frazier aside from running his clothes
The actions of the animal were entire
ly unlocked for as it had previously
appeared very gentle. Chief FeeIey
said that he was glad the animal hao
little life in him and that the boys
would not take any chances in the fu.
ture.

SELL OUT THEIR
THEATRICAL VENTURE
Messrs. Shine and Dietel
Make Nice Profit on
Theater.

Bailiff Frank Shine and William
Dietel, who recently started a moving
picture show in the Standard Steel Car
district, have sold out to Charles Nc
Coy of East Chicago for $3.50.
The project, which was started by
the Hammbnd men, has been a success
from the very starte and yet they were
offered such a good price for their
business that they decided to sell out.
The Family theater was opened under
it's new management last evening and
one of the forms of entertainment was
a pie-eating contest, in which there
were a score of the residents of this
district engaged.
1t is said that when the announce
ment was made that there would be a
pie-eating contest nearly all of the
residents of this district volunteered
to be a part of the show
The prize for the man who could eat
a pie the quickest was only 10 cents
but then the pie itself was a consid-

TOLESTON
DADS GIVE
EXTENSION
Chicago, Lake Shore and
South Bend Interurban Is
Enjoined by the Federal
Court at Indianapolis To-
day.
Crimes, bureau at state Capitol.)

(Times' Bureau at State Capitol.)
indianapolis, Ind, Dec 22.-The Penn
sylvania railroad secured a temporary
injunction against the Chicago, Lake
Shore & south Bend Interurban road to-
day to prevent the crossing of tracks at
Fourth street i'm To1eston. The hearing
on the permanent injunction is set for
Dec. 26 in the federal court.
The ToIIestOn town board held a very
important meeting last evening, at
which the Chicago, Lake Shore & South
Bend Electric Railway company was
granted an extension of fifteen days in
which to complete the spur from the
main line to TolIeston, and in this man.
ner provide another entrance from Toll
lesion into Gary.
The officials of the Chicago, Lake
Shore & South Bend line have been do
ing all in their power to hurry the
work of constructing the Tolleston
branch and have had crews working
night and day in an effort to complete
the spur by Jan. 1, the stipulated time.
Reason for Extension.
Owing to the fact that the Wabash
railroad is opposing the crossing of its
tracks, north of Tolleston, however, the
prospects that the line will be actually
opened on Jan. l are not very bright,
and it was for this veason that an ex-
| tension of fifteen days was requested.
The request of the South Shore line
was granted and Christ Borman and
Edward Behnke voted for the exten-
sion. William Gallagher voted against
| it and is said to be in sympathy with
the Gary & Interurban line, which does
not approve of the fact that the fran
chise Of the Chicago. Lake Shore &
South Bend line in Tolleston is exclu-
sive for fiye years and will prevent the
Air Line; with which it is affiliated
from going through the city during
| that time.
/ Some Opposition Voiced.
There was some opposition among the
people of Tolleston to the extension OF
the time limit of the franchise, but this
too, is believed to have been fomnted
by the same disgruntled parties.
The representative of Michigan City
gas company appeared before the Toll
lston town board and asked that it be
granted a franchise in that town. The
members of the town board did not like
the clause which gave them three years
in whic hto begin offering public SER
vice, and so they rejected the franchise
Attorney K. K. Knapp. representing
the Gary Heat, Light and Water com.
pany also appeared before the board
and stated that he would like a fran
chise, and in view of the fact that hi
promised service in the near future tht
members of the town board looked will
favor on his Petition.
J. S. Beetler, a representative of tn,
Chicago Fire Apparatus company, ap
J, peared and offered to sell some chemi
cal equipment for the fire department
which is to be organized in the nea
future.
The two chemical outfits which will
be purchased will be the beginning o

COUNCIL MEMBERS
MEET WITH P. 0. MEN
Take UP Question of Re-
numbering Residences of
Hammond Last Night.
CARRIERS WANT THEIR SYSTEM
Postofice Employees Will Endeavor to
Interest Citizens In
Their Plan.

The street and alley committee of
the Hammond city council met with a
committee, composed of postoffice en-
pIoyes last evening, and talked over
dences of the city.
Peter ]. Lyons. the city engineer, and
John Kane, Walter Hammond and
John Kaptur, representing the city
council, met with Will Lynch, Marion
E. Zouvers, Eugene Turner, Martin
Frame, Albert Sourbeer and Frank
Robinson, representing the postoffice
department.
The proposition which was put up to
council by Uncle Sans employees was
first that the present system fo num-
bering be retained and that no change
be made. Secondly, If a change must
be made then make the state line and
the Grand Calumet river the base of
the new system and adopt the block
system now in vogue in some parts of
Chicago by which each block is given
100 numbers.
p. o. Men Go ON Record.
The postoffice employees went on rec
ord as being opposed to the plan to
make Gostlin street and Calumet ave-
nue. the basis for the change. Peter
Lyons stated that these streets had
been taken as the base of the number
ing system for the reason that they
were both located on section lines and
both ran in a direct north and south
or an east and west direction.
The objection made to the plan of
the postoffice employees was that the
numbers would run up too high in the
vicinity of Gibson If the state line was
| made the dividing line between the
numbers named east and those named
west.
An efcrt viii be made to Interest
| the citizens of Hammond in the plan
of the postoffice employees for number
ing the city and they hope that they
may yet induce the city officials to see
! that their plan is the best.

KNOCKED DOWN
TO BEREOLOS BROS.
Central Block Goes Under
the Hammond This Aft
ernoon on Third Bid.
P.W. MEYN IS THE AUCTIONEER
LeGrand T. Meyer and Giles Warner
Are the Other Bidders on
Building.

The Central block, one of the histor-
ic buildings of Hammond and the prop
erty of NJ. NJ. Towle, was sold under
the hammer In the office of the Lake
County Savings and Trust company
this afternoon to Nick BereOIos for
S1S,1OO.
The auctiOning of this property was
one of the most impressive transac-
tions that has ever taken place in
Hammond. The sale of the property
Lake County Savings and Trust COM
pany.
Peter w. Meyn acted as the auction
eer and was eminently fair in his ef
fort to get the biggest price possible
for the property. Attorney Johannes
Kopelke, the attorney for the receiver
for the Towle estate, explained the
circumstances under which the prop
erty would have to be sold.
He stated to the dozen or more per-
sons who had come to bid on the prop
erty that it was free from all liens
and that the terms of the sale would
have to be one-third down, one-third
in year and one-third in two years.
Peter Meyn then repeated the terms
under which the property would be
sold. He called for bids and LeGrand
T. Meyer bid $4,000, the appraisers
estimate of it's value.
After urging the bidders to raise the
prices Giles Warner bid $4,000. His bio
was raised after long wait by At
torney W. j. Winery, who was bid
ding for Nick Bereolos, and who of
fered $18.100.
After that there was fifteen minutes
in which Peter Meyn urged the bid
ders to raise their bids and in which
the covetous bidders bit their lips and
wondered whether they had better of
fer more than the well-known proprie
tor of the Maine hotel.
Finally after offering the bargain
once, twice and the third times. it was
sold for s1S,100. Mr.. Bereolos was re
quired to pay 81 900 down on the build
ing to bind the bargain.

Gary Steel Company Is to

The information comes to The Times
that the Panhandle railroad is to con-
tract extensive yards and shops at
HartsdaIe, three miles northwest of
Crown Point, and that grading has al
ready begun.
There is more than ordinary signifl-
canoe in this move. 1t is understood

The report came to Hammond yester-
day that the actual work of laying out
the yards and shops had begun. The
surveys have all been made and the

denied at Logansport whens the phone
was used to verify the report.
The new coke ovens of the United

Joliet where they could be most easily
reached from the Indiana and Illinois
coal fields and yet where the coke
could be most easily distributed to the

The story above appeared in a Chi
cago paper today and has been a source
of much mystery to those who have
been trying to set iseormatien about
the alleged suicide.
A telephone query to the police sta
ton named resulted in a statement,
made by the desk sergeant, that no such
occurrence had taken place there last
night. He declared that a Chicago
man had suicided in that fashion six
months ago.
When asked to give a line on the
story, the city editor of the paper in
which the story was published, de-
clared that the tale had been clipped
from an earlier edition of another pa
per. Inquiry at st. Elizabeth's hospital
made the mystery more battling than
ever, for the Sister Secretary said that
no man had been brought to st. Eliza
beths hospital last night under those
circumstances.
1t develops later that a man named
August Sherhorn was employed in the
dry goods department of Ruhstadt's
store several weeks ago, but that he,
after working a week. left suddenly
one Saturday night without drawing
his pay. He returned for it the sue
ceeding Thursday. however, and then
left again.
The Hammond police know nothing
of the man and his name is not in the
directory.

FRANCHISE SURE
FOR |. c. RAILROAD
Council Committee Decides
to Act Favorably on
Kensington Permit.
TERMS ARE NOT YET DECIDED
Whether Demand for Electrifcation
Of Terminal Will Be Made
Is Question.

The Illinois Central railroad will be
given a franchise for it's Kensington
and Eastern branch, which it started to
build in defiance of the city, but the
terms of the bargain are yet to be ar
ranged. The principal concessions de-
mand in return for the franchise is
the reduction of the fare from South
Chicago and Kensington to the central
part of the city.
The prospect is that there will be a
lively tussle between the aldermen and
the railroad officials over the length of
the grant. The railroad wants a fran
chise for fifty years, the usual period
of permit to steam railroad to cross
city streets. The aldermen who are
dealing with the proposition as a local
transportation project are inclined to
impose limit of twenty years, to
which street railway franchises are re-
stricted by law.
The draft of the ordinance grant
ing a franchise was completed by the
city councils Committee on local trans
portation yesterday with the excep-
tion of incorporating the period of the
grant and the compensation to the
city. These and other matters apper-
tanning to public policy will be dis
cussed at a meeting to be called with
in fortnight by Chairman Foreman.
Terms Not Decided.
Whether any demand for the electrii-
cation of the Illinois Central terminal
in exchange for the branch road fran
chise will be made is a question. AL
dermen who once held that the Ken
sington franchise should be used as a
club to force electrification of the sub
urban service have cooled off percepti-
bly, and now opine that a reduction OF
fares is all that will be asked.

sh, ssh. First definite news was
given out today. Yep! fact alright.
Nothing definite known about 1T yet,
only that it is to be the finest depot
In Hammond.
1t is absolutely denied that the pres
ent so-called depot will be preserved IN
alcohol. 1t may be bought up by the
Hammond Historical society and kept
as a curiosity to show human endur-
ance and a railroad companys concep-
tion of depot way back in the twen-
tieth century.
The geed news. which, by the way,
jibes well With the holiday spirit. came
in answer to a question that every
Hammond newspaper man asks Captain
Downing nAs inctively when he meets
the agent.
The Captain and G. Washington.
The captain answered the question
in as off-hand manner as though it
had been ordained ages ago that Ham
mond really would get a new depot
The reporter naturally lost his balance
TO some extent when he heard the ques-
tion answered in the affirmative for
once in his life, and upon first inclina
ton was inclined to get the captain
to repeat the statement before a no.
tary public Upon second thought, he
remembered that this would be fearful
~ bad taste, as it might appear that
the captains word had been doubted.
M l.
while not blood relatives. are never
theless related to each other by the
fact that they tell the truth.
From the manner in which the cap
tain delivered the information, 1t could
readily be taken that the matter had
been deliberated upon in the upper cir
cles and that the captain had been let
in on it. 1t could also be easily dis
cerned that if the guardian of the
present depot had his way about it
Hammond would get that depot by St
Patricks day, 1909.
Spending 100000 on Bridge.
But" explained the captain, you
must take into consideration that the
Monon is spending at the present time
100000 on its new bridge over the
Calumet river, and it may easily cost
100000 more than that 1t is reason
ably safe to say that Hammond will
get its new depot by 1910, and l would
not say that ground for it will not be
broken in 1909.
The site on which our present
freight depot stands, between Sibles
and Fayette streets, would form ar
ideal one. That would give US encUgf
room to lay a driveway around the
station and also take US into a nei gh-
borhood where other nice buildings
stand. The freight depot can easily bt
moved farther south. where the team
tracks are now located"
Mr.. Downing did not enter into any
discussions as TO what will happen t
the present depot
