TAKE Up MATTER
OF STREET PAVING

Improvements.
Improvements.
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

Crown Point, Ind, March 3.-At the
meeting of the town board the matter
of street paving was taken up, and re-
ports have issued from the sanctum
sanctorum that the streets Of Crown
Point will be curbed and paved in their
entirety during the coming summer,
the material to be used being macad-
am The question was taken up at
great length, as the board realizes
that something will have to be done to
relieve the disgraceful and unsightly
appearance Of some of the towns thor
oughfares which not only reflects upon
the officials themselves but the en-
tire population of the town, at the same
time being a material drawback to the
rise in property values.
With the passing of the three mile
township act, governing the free gravel
road building the roads in town can
not be built on that plan. as Main,
Joliet and Court streets were done last
year, and it is now up to the property
owners to foot the bills. This will en-
tall great deal of hardship upon many
who are already burdened with paying
for improvements. but there seems to
be no other way out of it and the trus-
tees. although blameless, will have to
bear the burden of the remonstrances.
An adjourned meeting will be held on
March Is to discuss the paving mat
ter further as the trustees are anxious
to have the opinion of the citizens OF
Crown Point on the matter One OF
the first requisites of of a residence
town is good streets. and with the ex-
ception of two streets in town the re-
mainder are Inc the worst possible con-
! dition. One thing is sure. the resi-
dents have been taught a lesson in
street building in the example of the
old black paving. and no matter what
material is selected the contractor Sc
curing the job will have to deliver the
/ goods on the next lob.

SAYS HE'S GLAD TO Be
TAKEN OUT OF COLD
Members of Posse, Composed of
Judge Westigreen, John Johnson
and Charles Nelson, Stumble Onto
Stolen Booty, Containing of Eigh-
ty-Five Pounds of Copper Wire.

Harry Phillips. fugitive from justice,
and former well -known Chicago at
torney, failed to elude the vigilant
search made for him by the Miller
posse and this morning is again lodged
safely in Jail He was discovered this
morning at place called Dock Siding.
three miles east of Miller
Those who came upon Phillips were
Judge William Westigreen, John John
son and Charles Nelson. They found
the man huddled up in a dug-out in a
sand pit owned by Judge Westigreen,
attempting to keep warm and with little
to eat. He made no resistance to the
members of the posse when they ap-
preached him. even stating that he was
glad to be taken in out of the cold,
where he had suffered greatly during
the night.
Doubt as 10 Accomplish.
Marshal Edward Klopf refused this
morning to state whether or not the
eX-attorney had confessed. but 1t is
thought that he will do so because of
the clear cases which the state has
against him. 1t may be that he has
already made a clean breast of the
whole matter. The hearing of Phillips
will be held this morning before Judge
Westigreen and he will be bound over
to the superior court. Prosecuting At
torney Greenwaid will go to Miller
this morning where he will have charge
of the hearing.
If Phillips had an accomplice in get
ting out of Jail, no trace of them could
be found al the time that Phillips was
found by the posse. 1t seems certain,
however. that he was aided in the jail
delivery and that those who aided him
are members Of gang of depredators.
Find Missing Copper Wire.
Incidentally while several members
of the posse of ten men were securing
the country in search of Phillips they
came to an old house in the basement
of which they found eighty five pounds
| Of copper wire and seventeen telegraph
/ instruments that We're stolen from the
Lake Shore depot a month ago when
that place was broken into. The prop
erty will be returned to the company
but there is little chance that the
| thieves will be caught. It is not be-
4 Iieved that Phillips has any knowledge

age OF taxation allowed in a town for

With an assessed valuation in the
city of over ten million dollars, the in

This building would in all probability

The building which Will be erected will
be of the same type as the Emerson

at Indianapolis lobbying for the pass
age of the school bill as it means much
for this city. The bill passed the legis-

by the governor because of some tech
nical error. This error was then cor
rected and the bill was again passed
through the Legislature. Yesterday it
