the pocket of a coat at his home, more
than a mile away.
john Roeder, the father, says his son
had bat one pistol, and that the weapon
found by his side 10 the Lewiston psrloI
with one chamber empty did not belong
to him. The Lsvistons deny that they

ing yesterday in the Panhandle section
OF northwest Texss after the hottest
day of the year, snd cold wave Is in
the wske of the hail and wind storms
which were general Thursday night

The Hub Clothing Store company
is pushing a big alteration sale that
they say will live long in the memory
of the public. They propose also that
1t shall be the talk OF Hammond and
vicinity The Hub has been located
at the same number for the past six
teen years. Many times during that
period the question of moving into
larger quarters has been considered,
but Mr.. Stieglitz. the proprietor, has
elected to lease the old quarters where
he has become so well known. But re-
Gently more space became a necessity
and he was fortunate in securing the
store-room adjoining him on the north
which for a time will give him the
required space in which to more sat
isfactorily serve his trade. Mr.. Stieg-
litz stands high as a merchant who
give all customers a square DEAL and
for this reason we say, don't fail to
call and take advantage of this sale.
A. Cohen. his manager and right hand
man, says 1t is to be the biggest ever.

At STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis. Ind, March 26.-The
story has gone out that Elan Neal, in
ternal revenue collector for this dis
trfct, has been appointed commissioner
of internal revenue for the government
at salary of $4,000 a year, and 1t has
been printed as fact by numerous pa
pers throughout the state. The story
says that the appointment was made
at the recommendation of Senator
Beveridge, and one would think. to
read the story, that 1t was all settled.
The fact Is that nothing of the kind
has been done. It is true that~there
has been some talk of Meals appoint
ment to that place, but nothing defin-
ite has been announced Meals term
as internal revenue collector for this
district, expires within the next few
months, and it is possible, of course.
that he may be given the higher posi-
ton, but no such announcement has
been given out. Meals record as col
lector has been good, and there are
many friends of his In this and other
states who believe he would make a
good commissioner.
Neal is one of the several federal Of
fee holders in Indiana whose terms
will soon expire and whose places will
have to be filed by Senator Beveridge.
It Is understood that the senator Will
not make any appointments.

in Gary.

E. D. Griffith, one of the Oldest Gary
contractors. who has built some of the
biggest buildings in the city, has left
Gary it is said, because of business
failure and most acute financial en-
barrassment. Mr.. Griffith disappeared
from the city nearly a week ago, and
his whereabouts are unknown at the
present time.
One attorney, Clarence Bretsch, has
claims against the ex-contractor
amounting to about $500, and his few
possessions in this city will be at
tached at. once. Among other things
Mr.. Griffith left a concrete mixer and
few other articles of little value
as tokens Of his former presence in this
city It Is not known what the total
outstanding claims are against Griffith,
but it will amount to a large figure.
Among the big buildings which Mr.
Griffith built IN this city were the Du-
Betz and the Farvoid buildings on
Broadway. near Seventh avenue, and
the Sax building on Fifth avenue near
Virginia street. He also erected many
smaller houses and buildings in the
city. Several small jobs have been
completed recently by Mr.. Griffith. and
he Immediately left the city without
paying for the material which was
used in the construction. 1t is also
said that he owes several Of his labor
ers.
The suits to attach what remains in
Gary of his personal effects and equip
ment have already been filed in court.

THE STORY FADES AWAY
Wolf Lake Murder Turns
Out to Be a Mere
BraWl.

The wild and highly colored report
that there had been a murder over on
the west side of Wolf lake was untrue.
The facts of the case are that Al
Burns shot at his male cook while re-
clining on cot to which he has been
confined on account of illness.
One report is that the cook was shot
through the face, the bullet penetrating
both cheeks, another that the shot
grazed his head and the third that he
was shot at, but not hit
Those who live in the neighborhood
say that Burns is too sick to be moved,
but that he will be taken away Tues
day. It is also said that the cook has
disappeared suddenly and may not ap-
pear to prosecute his former employer
At any rate the affair was merely in
the nature of q brawI. Burns is al
legged to have kept a blind pig in his
resort, and the Illinois police are max
ing an investigation along these lines

fit by the new assessment law, promul-

being in part such special assess
ments shall be levied in proportion to
the value of said lands or lots ex-
elusive of the value Of improvements
thereon as the same are assessed for
