SLAUGHTER WILL
BEGIN NEXT WEEK
Valuable or NonValuable,
Dogs Will Be Slain IN
less Muzzled.

Next week the annual slaughter of
dogs will begin. The people have been
warned for several weeks, and the
weather is now so warm that 1t is i'm
perittive that all dogs be muzzled to
safeguard the community.
Last year there was some difficult
with the owners of valuable dogs be-
cause they thought they could trifie
with the police in regard to the mat
ter.
After several valuable dogs had been
shot, and it was seen that the police
were no respectors of persons, nearly
all of the dogs in the city were muzzled.
It is expected that several examples
will have to be set to the people of the
community this year before they Will
again come to the realization that 1t
is the duty of the police to shoot all
dogs whose owners do not comply with
the law.
The police maintain that they do not
find any pleasure in killing dogs, but it
is hard to convince people to the con-
| trary

PROPOSED
RACE EXC|TES
ATTENTION

There are no new developments in
the proposed race between the automo-
bile driven by Irving Betz and that
driven by Mr.. c. H. Stewart. The race
was the talk of the town last night,
and the city was divided between those
who thought that Betz could win and
those who favored Stewart.
Mr.. Betz stated yesterday that one
condition Of the race that he would
insist upon was that Mr.. Stewart
should ride in his car during the race.
Mr.. Stewart, it is believed. will make
good on his promise to make the race,
and he is expected to put up the mon
ey as soon as he gets around to it. He
was out of the city this afternoon and
could not be interviewed regarding the

There may be some difficulty about
the stakeholder. Stewart wants to put

WILL COST 100000
EMPLOY 5000 MEN
Two Manufacturing Concerns Will
Be Operated in Connection With
Indiana Steel Mills-Larger By so
Per Cent Than Biggest of It's Kind
in the World.

Since the announcement of the loca-
ton of the gigantic tin and sheet
works at the Gary plant of the Indiana
Steel company, information of more
reliable source reached THE TIMES Of
fee today, which not only confirms the
report issued in the Iron Age, but gives
further credence that the two new
manufacturing plants are to be located
at Gary.
The cost of the two plans will reach
the neighborhood of 100000, and
they will employ jointly between 4.40O
and 5000 men. BY locating these great
plants at Gary, the steel corporation
will have an abundant supply of raw
material on hand from the steel works
for western shipments and will be ad-
vantageously located as to the market.
The Gary plant. when completed. will
be 60 per cent larger than any other
plant in the world When the new
sheet and tin works are finally located
here. it is said that the tin and sheet
works in the Elwood district will be
abandoned This is due to the lack of
shipping facilities and the cost Of OBJ
tanning their raw material.
Largest Plant of Kind in World.
The direct information that THE
TIMES is able to give to its readers fol-
lows:
Two great additions to the finish
ing mills to be located at the new
steel town of Gary. Ind, are being
/ planned by the steel corporation. an
nouncement of which came from the
| general offices of the corporation IN
New York yesterday. The additions
are for a tin plate plant equipped with
| fifty mills, or the largest plant of the
kind in the world by go per cent, and
plant of fifty mills for the rolling
| of steel sheets, which IS also to be
the largest of any Of its kind.
The two plants, it is stated. will BIZ
operated by the American Sheet & Tir
Plate company and will represent frs
of the lighter finished steel plants tina
will be added to the equipment at Gary
| The largest sheet steel plant thus IA
is the Vandergrift works which has
thirty mills, and has held a SINH
lar position in the sheet steel trade
Both are steel corporation plants"

AMELIA
THEN WENT
TO The JAIL

One of the most unruly women that
ever appeared before a local justice is
Mrs. Amelia Orchen. who wen to jail
for twenty-five days rather than per-
nit her husband to pay her fine
Mrs. Orchen and John Gilda got into
a neighborhood fight and in the meele
John called Mrs. Orchen some mean
names that were not becoming to a gen.
tleman. He pleaded guilty to the
cahrge and was fined $3.50.
He Immediately turned around and
had warrant sworn out for the arrest
of Mrs. Orchen on the charge of using
profane and obscene language. The
case came to trial late yesterday after
noon and Mrs. Orchen was found guilty.
WOman's Wrath Terrible.
She was fined $2205 and was about
the madest woman that ever appeared
in the court room. She shook her fist
at everybody in the room and called
them every name she could lay her
! tongue to-
Finally when her husband, who owns
considerable property, prepared to pay
her fine, she refused to permit him to
do so and said she would go to jail
first.
She was taken to Crown Point last
night and will have to stay there for
twenty-five days unless she relents and
permits her husband to pay her fine
1t is thought that he will make ar
rangements today to get her out OF
| jail.

them is a pillow and some warm blank
cts.

GHASES A HEN IS
KICKED BY HORSE
Especial to THE TINES. }

Lowell, July 10.-Chasing a hen in
an attempt TO catch it, resulted in a
probable fatal accident to Charles
Buckley, a wealthy farmer living
southeast of Lowell
1t was Thursday afternoon when Mr.
Buckley attempted to put his hands
on a particular hen which he thought
he had cornered in the barn. He
chased it from place to place, and in
his eage-ness he stumbled, falling di-
rectly under the hoofs OF one of his
horses. The animal, frightened by
this. kicked him a vicious blow on the
skull fracturing 1t and laying his brain
bare.
The terrible accident indirectly
caused by so trivial an act. has shocked
his many friends here. Few dare hope
that he will recover since he has been
50 badly injured, but all hope that he
may escape with his life.
