STREET CARS START
SOON IN GARY
Cars Are Expected to Ar
rive in the Steel City
on Wednesday.
IMPORTANT EPOCH IN GARY
Conductors Have Been Engaged To
Report for Duty on Thurs
day of This Week.

Gary is due for another big celebra-
week. The occasion is not the holding
of another big convention or barbecue,
however but is just a little surprise
party which is scheduled to be pulled
off by the Gary Interurban. The an
nouncement was made today by Presi-
dent ]. D. Price of the Cooperative
Construction company and w. c. Phil
lips of LaPorte. who is to be the SUI
perintendent of the local line, who
are in Gary today that street cars
would be running on Broadway some
time this week.
When seen in town and asked the
customary ques tions in regard to the
progress of the operations, Mr.. Prices
reply was, Cheer up, street cars will
soon be running" The news when
spread about the city, caused no end
of excitement and the dubious bust
ness men who long ago had given up
all semblence of the forlorn hope
which they had chung to, were visibly
shocked and agreeably surprised
The sight of street car plying up
and down Broadway this week will be
another of the many wonderful events
which will happen.
1t is hard to realize that after the
many months of alternating work
wrangling and litigation that the line
will actually be in operation and the
long trips from the northern to the
southern extremity Of tn Getty will no
longer be done by the shoe leather
route as of yore. The beginning of the
operation of the street cars is one of
the most important events in the his
tory of the city, and is an epoch in it's
growth.
The cars for the line, which have
been In course of construction at Dan
vile. were shipped to Gary today and
they are expected to arrive here Wed
nesday, barring any unforeseen delays
The force of conductors and motormen
which have been secured have received
notification to report for duty Thurs
day morning. Among them are Rob
ert Law, of this city. and several from
LaPorte, who have been secured.
When asked If a definite date had
been set for the operation of the cars,
President Frank Gavit said that he was
not prepared to state. He was aware
of the fact that the cars had been
shipped. but owing to the uncertainties
in shipping, would not say that the
cars would be here ready for operation
by Wednesday. 1t was his belief that
the cars would be running by Monday
at the latest and that they would prob
ably be given tryout on the road this
week.
Two cars will be operated to start
with on one of the tracks. The cars
will meet midway on Rroaduav ard
will switch off to the second track
where they will pass The crossings

weight champion of the west was in
Window Park yesterday visiting
friends. Osborn, although going on his
forty eighth year, says that he believes
he could show some of the middle
weights a few points on the game.
When asked if there was a possibility
of him ever returning to the ring. he
replied in the negative, saying that
once out always out for him, as he was
not like some of the hasbeens to keep
on trying to make good after they
themselves know they are down and out.
Mr.. Osborn is now engaged in the
cattle raising business at Imperial,
Neb, where he owns and maintains a
large ranch. This he said was where
the bulk of his savings went after he
left the ring.
Mr. Osborn shipped in large herd
of cattle in to the stock yards and
came along with them to see that they
were properly cared for. While in
Windsor Fark he was the guest of
George Fox at the Oaks hotel, Seventy

POLITICIAN CAPTURES
WOULD Be MURDERER
w. Fl. Kliver Surprises a
Bad Negro at Gary
Today.
SHOTS FIRED IN ALTERATION
Dean Ross Is Bound to Lake Superior
Court In One Thousand
Dollars Bonds.

Gary's building commissioner, w. H.
Kliver, who is also the republican
nominee for the office of joint repre-
sentative, proved himself the hero this
morning when after witnessing an at
tempt at murder, he took after the
man who did the shooting, and after
a long chase. captured him.
Mr.. Kliver was standing near the
corner of Fourteenth and Washington
streets. when he saw one colored man
approach another and begin a heated
conversation.
The men We're afterwards found to
be Dean Ross and Charles White
White finally said to Ross, You are
not going to get mad about 1t, are
you?" referring to some trouble they
had had over a girl whom they both
knew.
Without word Ross pulled out a re-
volver and fired at White AS soon as
White saw Ross reach for his gun, he
ran away, and the angry negro fired
six shots after the fleeing man.
None of them took effect SO far as
Kliver knew, but he decided that
bad niger is indeed a bad thing
to have around and so he at once took
after the man who had done the
shooting.
He knew that the negro's revolver
was empty, and so he did not fear
| that. The chase was a long one and
the negro ran in the directio of Miller.
Finally Kliver caught up to him and
laid hands on him.
He took Ross gun away from him
and found that the negro had reloaded
it while on the run. He then for the
first time realized his danger when
just before the capture was effected.
| the negro pointed the revolver at Mr..
Kliver, but had it knocked out Of his
| hands.
Ross was taken to the police station,
where he was turned over to the au-
thorities. There was a preliminary
hearing before Judge Patrick L. Fitz-
| gerald and the prisoner was bound
over to the Lake Superior court under
$1,000 bonds

weight he had to take heroic measures

before. The fast of more than twenty
