OPEN NEAR BEER PLACE
Syndicate in Gary Will
Conduct Former Tim
norman Stand

The saloon and restaurant, which was
run in Gary for the past two years
under the proprietorship of A. Zim-
norman, was sold by the latter yester-
day through Attorney George Barden
to Theodore Binzen. The consideration
is not known. The saloon has been
closed since its license expired seevral
months ago, and the proprietor, Mr..
Zimmerman, opened up a saloon in
a wet territory at Miller
1t was understood in Gary yesterday
that the property was purchased by Mr..
Binzen for a syndicate, composed of
James Cahill, a former bartender in the
Binzenhof buffet, and a Mr. Sassalin,
who is also said to have been a Gary
bartender.
The above purchasers of the we'll
known place intend to open the place
at once, where they will dispose of
near beer, like most Of the other sa
looms of the city have done, and in
which they have found considerable
profit Mr. Zimmerman viii remain
at Miller, where he has found a profta-
Bile location, many of his old friends
visiting him at that place from Gary.

DESIRE IMPROVEMENTS
South Siders in Gary Will
Ask Town Board for
Water and Sewage.

Gary residents of the district south
of Twenty-second street are complain
ing of the inadequate water supply and
sewerage facilities given them. AS this
IS the cause Of much sickness among
them they are determined to take the
matter up with the town board.
Beyond the street mentioned there
are no water mains in operation and
likewise the sewerage system has not
been extended to that part of the city.
On account of these two things, due
principally to the impure water sup
ply, considerable sickness in the way
of malaria, typhoid, scarlet and other
fevers have been quite prevalent.
An endeavor will be made to remedy
the existing defects. and it is thought
the town board will be able to offer a
solution of the trouble In the mean
time sickness due from these causes
continue, and the approach Of hot
weather with these conditions to be
faced it augurs a heavy mortality
among the children.

FR|ENDO OF JUDGE GARY
RESIGNS HIS POSITION
R. 3. Campbell Out From
E., J. & E. Railroad
Management.

Apropos of the reorganization of the
road General Manager r. B. Camp
bell of the E, j. & E. railroad has re-
signed.
Mr. Campbell has held this position
since 1902, when the company was re-
organized. He is a close friend of
Judge Ebert II. Gary and he repre-
sented the interests of the United
States Steel company in the manage
ment of the railroad. He was made
general manager, simultaneous with the
election of A F. Banks to the presi-
dency.
Mr.. Campbell early in his career as a
railroad man was manager Of the Bal
timore & Ohio. 1t was while there that
he became closely associated with
Judge Gary, who is a relative of his.
The B. & o. went into the hands of
the receiver and after the change Mr..
Campbell became superintendent of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
His resignation will go into effect at
once in order that he may devote his
entire time to the affairs of the Joliet
Steel Car company. of which he is the
president The office which he held will
be abolished.-Joliet Republican.

NAL disposed of, decided that the hour
had arrived. He had not the heart to
shoot Sip himself, so he requested Ser
geant Quinlan to perform the task,
which Mr.. Quinlan aceommodatingly
did. Had the shooting been postponed
until later in the day, when the wind
changed to the northeast it is alto
gether likely that Sergeant would have
weakened in his determination to have
Skip dispatched.
While both Sergeant and Mrs. Bowen
mourn Skip's loss, they are convinced
that they did wise thing in having
him killed, before he had bitten any
body, as they greatly feared he might
do had he been permitted to live out
his natural life. Skip will be buried
with honors.

skip" A HEAT VICTIM


East Chicago. July 3.-The change
in the weather last veening came just
a few hours too late to save the live of
Skip. the thoroughbred English Beagle
hound, owned by Sergeant Charlie
Bowen.
The doy had been great pet of Mr..
and Mrs. Bowen, who had owned him
ever since he was puppy, nine years
ago. He was the only English beagle
in town and was worth $3.50.
The dog was getting old and a bit
crotehety and the hot weather told on
his disposition. The unwonted heat of
yesterday seemed to irritate him and
Sergeant Bowmen. who had for the
past few months been trying to make
UP his mind to have the faithful ami

DRIVE TWO
FROM GARY
G. A. Burk Moves to Leba-
non to Shield His Wife
From Black Hand Threats
Husband Gives Up Pc
sition.

c. A. Burk, general manager of the
Metropolitan Insurance company in
Gary, has resigned his position and
moved, with his wife, to Lebanon, Ind,
the chief reason being, according to
friends and employees of the office, that
his wife had received black hand Lex
ters. which preyed upon their minds
until they felt unsafe to remain here
longer.
The letter sent to Mrs Burk was
the one referred to in yesterday
TIMES, where the recipient was asked
to meet party at Eleventh avenue and
and Broadway at stated time, for
which no reason was signed. This
letter was turned over to the Gary po-
lice, who in place of Mrs Burk waited
at the prescribed spot, but failed to
find any one in the vicinity that looked
suspicious.
Did Not Ask for Money.
! Although no attempt was made to
harm Mrs. Bruk, both she and her hus-
band were worried over the possible
danger until they thought it best to
leave the city. Mr.. Burk has consid-
cred this action for some time and when
/ the opportunity presented itself to GO
to Lebanon he grapsed it Immediately
The peculiar phase of the Burk let
ter is that the writer has made the as
sertion that they had plenty of money
/ to back up their demands. Evidently
they did not desire to extort money
from their victim, but had another pur-
pose in view. No one has ventured tc
say what this might have been.
Think Crazy Man Responsible.
Judging from the outcome of al
| these missives one would be led to be
lieve that Chief Martins theory tina
the letters were a bluff was about right
but as he said, it is just as well to TAX,
them seriously. The authorities ais,
believe that this is the work of al
insane man, who would not ventur
to carry out the threat.

When the fire was at it's height a line
