An attempt to wreck the Pennsyl-

Sunday morning was made in North
Anderson.
The engineer of the train discovered
an obstruction on the track at a sharp
curxe and hit it, but the train was not
derailed. Investigation showed that
two cross ties had been placed on
the rails and had been braced, but the
locomotive knocked them around so
that they fell between the rails. The
train was made up of baggage and
mail cars, one day coach and three
sleepers and nearly all passengers.were
bound for Chicago.

Whose was the hand that sprinkled

that Brown just missed by the narrow

reach first. Incidentally the Cubs won

Yesterday.


The Gary Commercials went to La

&C to the full innings on account of
the rain which came UP late in the aft
ernoon.
The feature of the game was the
work of the Gary battery. Pierce of
Chicago was the pitcher and is new
man on the-team. He succeeded in
striking out 5 men.
That the Gary team did not win is
attributed to the fact that the infield
was not up to standard. The batting
was also at fault and this contributed
to the defeated of the Gary men,.
The team will play at Joliet next
Sunday. In the meantime the team
hopes to secure the right to use a

tice.

Are Present.

Lowell, Ind. May 1S.-(Special)-
There's no flies on the Three Creek
township, in southern Lake county,
when it comes to politics-especially
republican politics, and their motto is
to get into the game early. AS per
previous notice. the republicans of the
Three Creek township met at the opera
house In Lowell Saturday night to
perfect a republican club and to hold
a short live feast, and, despite the bad
roads and the farmers having had their
first good days work for a number OF
days. there was big crowd out. The
meeting was harmonious and enthu-
siastic. Besides all the local polite
ians there were present County Chair
man Richard Schaaf. Fred Crumpacker,
Judge Reider and Mr.. Shanklin OF
Hammond: Mr.. Mickey of East Chi
cago; Mat Brown, of Eagle Creek; Al
bert Mack. Charles Johnson. Herbert
Johnes and A Bibler of Crown Point.
Sheriff Fred Carter, democratic can
didate for sheriff, who has a habit OF
attending republican love feasts, was
| absent. Hon. S. G. Dwyer presided
over the meeting. Practical talke, de-
void of spread agleism. were made
by Messrs. Kleiver, Reider. Mickey,
Schaaf and Shanklin. and were good
even for the democrats present to think
over. Mr.. Mickey, who was fresh from
attending the deep waterways confer
ence at Washington, brought good tid-
| ings. The speakers were enthusiastic
| ally applauded.
| At the close of the speaking those
who had not joined the club at pre-
vious meeting were invited to do so.
| and with very few exceptions (prin-
cipally democrats) every one joined
the club, thus obligating themselves
to stand pat for the entire republican
ticket The list of members is esti-
mated at something like 200 and it is
| expected to swell the list to several
| hundred by the time the campaign
opens. The South End of Lake county,
that always rolls up a big republican
majority, will put up campaign this
year that will astonish the North End
and will wrap up the biggest packages
of voters that 1t ever has. At a meet

NINE FACE The TRAPS
An Interesting Match Was
Held at Sharpshooters
Yesterday.

The Hammond Gun club gave pre-
liminary opening shoot at the club
grounds in Sharpshooters' park Sunday
afternoon which was fairly we'll at
tended, nine shooters facing the trap.
Some very good scores were made con-
sidering that the boys are somewhat
out of practice, not having done any
trap shooting since last November.
The wonder of the afternoon was
Master Arthur Becker, only IL years
old, who stepped up before the trap
with his little 20 gauge Allen and Hop
kins gun and cracked eleven birds out
of a possible twenty five. This was
his first experience at trap shooting
and at this rate of going he will soon
be able to teach his father, ]. c. Becker,
thing or two about trap shooting.

MANY MEN EMPLOYED
Free Employment Agency
Doing Good Work
in Gary.

Superintendent Edgar harrington of
the free employments agency, reports
that he is continually putting men on
to work, most of whom are skilled la
borers There seems to be as great a
demand for skilled workmen as there
ever has been in the city and nearly
all who have been applied in nearly
every kind of work have been success
full. There are also many common ia
borers being put to work daily and
at the present time seems to be mostly
from the railroads who are doing a
great amount of construction work
about Gary. Fifteen foreigners with
families were given work Friday on the
Lake Shore and South Bend Interurban
Saturday still more were put on and
in the near future harrington expects
a call for hundred men.
