AIR LINZ:
FOLK ARE
STIRRING
Officers of Concern Now
Operating in Gary in
Hammond Looking Into
Operating in Gary and
End.

The Officers of the Chicago New York
Air Line. who are back of the Gary &
Interurban line, which Is now opera
ting in Gary and has a franchise into
Hammond over Sibley street, were in
Tolleston yesterday looking into the
progress of the work.
In the party was A. c. Miller, the
president of the air line J. d. Price.
the president of the Cooperative Con-
struction company, which has built the
air line road and is building the Gary
& Interurban line, and party of fifteen
stockholders of the Chicag New York
Air Line company.
It was reported that the work has
progressed to a point a mile and half
west of Main street in Tolleston and
that it viii be completed to the Clark
road in two weeks.
A matter of considerable significance
is the fact that the Chicago New York
Air line people are advertising the fact
that the Gary & Interurban line is the
western extention of the so-caIled Hot
Air" line and that by this means the
company expects to get into Chicago
The meeting yesterday was held in
the Offices of the Boreman exchange
and there We're fifteen stockholders OF
the Chicago-New York Air Line com
pany present who were enthused over
the progress that is being made towards
Hammond.

WORKMAN
FINDS BURIED
JUG Of WINE

Harry Paine, a workingman, employ
ed in the work of excavating the sand
from under Ruhstadt's store, yesterday
struck his shovel against d hard OBJ
ject and discovered that he had found
two gallons Of old wine.
When the bottle was opened the cork
jumped several feet into the air. Those
who We're permitted to sample the wine
say that it is excellent. The wine was
In a two gallon jug, and the Jug was
set in an old rusted water bucket.
No one has any idea how long that
wine has been in the ground, and the
fact that it was buried six or seven feet
under the surface of the ground shows
that it was there for long time
There is one story afioat that at one
time an old miser occupied the ground
upon which the Towle building is To-
Gated and that ever since his death
there has been an intermittent search
for his horde.
With these stories for az inspiration,
it is said. that the workingmen are
making the dirt fly.

One Dead, Two Dangerously Hurt
While West Hammond NuptiaI
Guests Make Merry
WANzER'S
WOUND IS
HEALING

George Williams. the negro who was
shot by Delbert Wanzer near oscar
Plegemans barber shop, is today re-
ported to be doing well and his recov-
cry, barring unforeseen complications
seems certain.
There are now new developments in
the case. Wanzer is still in jail and
his hands is healing as well as could
be expected, considering the serious
ness of the wound.
The date of the preliminary hearing
has not vet been set, but it is expect
ed that it will be soon. The state
has a large number of witnesses. and
it is thought that it will be a mere
matter of formality to bind the prisoner
over
However, when it comes to the trial
of the case 1t is thought that the ex-
tenuating circumstances of the assault
may be taken into consideration and
that Wanzer may not receive as heavy
a punishment as would ordinarily be
given for erie of the kind with which
he is charged

ARE
GETTING
FESTIVE

1t is rumored about the city that an
effort may be made in West Hammond
to start the fight game there again
now that the matter has been allowed
to cool down for a while.
The town, awhile back. became SO no.
torious as a fight center that the Chi
cago officials and those of Cook coun-
" decided they could not let the mat
ter so any further.
Consequently. the last fight sched-
uled there was stopped before it had
begun and that ended matters for a
time. Now the fight fans are getting
little less squeamish.
They want to see another milling
and they are going to arrange the mat
ter If Chicago and Cook county will
only let them alone. Jimmy Clabby
has been in the city for some time re-
Gently, and it Is rumore that the local
sports would get another chance to see
the Hammnd boy in the ring.
Carl Anderson is also in the city
ready for any good fight that should
happen TO come along. ana 10 all ap.
pearances the time is about ripe foi

After several years of delay the
ponderous machinery of the United
States federal court in Hammond was
set in motion today with a whirl which
meant business
Judge A. B. Anderson and his retinue
arrived this noon, the veniremen hav-
ing arrived earlier in the day. The in
dications at noon today were that there
would be work in the federal court
for possibly week, and cases that
have heretofore been col 'nued were
called today.
BY coincidence the first case to be
tried involved a contract for the feder-
al building in which the case is being
tried.
The case is that of the Champion
Iron company against the Title Guar
anty and Surety company and Win
chester and Cullen. The Champion
Iron company of Ohio sues for s3,500,
due them on the contract for struc-
tural and ornamental iron used in the
building. but the surety company and
the contractors answer delay in deliv-
cry OF the material, owing to which
the United States govtrnment compelled
them to pay penalty. The case may

gineer at Fault.

Attorney G. C. White has brought
suit in the superior court today against
the Michigan Central railroad for the
recovery of damages 10 the extent of
$4,000 which he alleges is due the es-
tate of Thomas Y stafford the Ham

east-bound train when, as passenger
from New Buffalo. he stepped off from
a west-bound train at Hammond.
". \. Buchanan is the administrator
Of the estate, and it IS in his name that
the action has been brought. The death

The complaint states that stanford

MEETS END
IN CROSSING
ACCIDENT
Patrick McGrath Killed on
Monon, Presumably by
Being Struck by Train
"Hurdy" Thought Re-
sponsible for the Death.

A second crossing accident in less
than a week claimed the life of Patrick
McGrath last night at the Monon rail-
roads Russell street crossing. While
there We're no eye-witnesses to the
accident it is thought that McGrath
was struck by the Monon Hurdy," a
train composed of an engine and q
caboose, and used to take the workmen
back and forth from the South Ham
mond yards. This train arrives at the
station ait o'clock and returns at about
6:15 There had been no other train.
and it is figured that the dead man must
have been struck by the north bound
"hurdy."
The manner and place in which he
was found gave rise to several theories
as to how lie met his death. He was
found face downward, about nine feet
east of the Monon track. Beside him
lay his dinner pail. He was bleeding
from a cut at the temple and minor
bruise on the side of the head.
Gives Rise to Speculation.
The fact that he was found so far
away from the track and his dinner
pail in good order beside him led TO
the belief at first that he might have
met with foul play but later blood
was found which pointed the way from
the track to where he lay. It is thought
that te train hit him and that he reeled
| back and fell. Neidow's ambulance was
summoned and the inquest was held at
the morgue today. While the funeral
arrangements had not been made this
noon it is thought that Mr.. MeGrath
will be buried tomorrow afternoon at
Oak Hill cemetery.
The death of Pat McGrath spread
rapidly through the business district
| last evening. and the manner in which
| the old mans end came aroused much
sympathy.
Was Typical Irishman.
| Pat McGrath was an Irishman with
typical irish characteristics. His ma
tive wit. his good nature. and his
| honesty made him friends all over the
city. His stauneh republican faith was
! unquestioned
Pat McGrath was 72 years old. He
was born on the "ould sod" but he
came TO this country more than fifty
years ago. He settled in Missouri,
where his first wife died about forty
two years ago Later he moved to
Kouts Ind. where he married Miss
Burk, his second wife. who died about
sixteen years ago, in Hammond.
In this country he put in his time as
railroader. and was considered a very
good trackman. As such he laid aside
little wealth, some of which he spent
in making two trips to the old country.
He was the father of seven children.
Mrs. II. Younglove of Valparaiso, hav-
ing been daughter by the first wife.
The other six by the second wife are:
Mary, Pat Michael William. James and
Leo. For u number Of years he lived
, alone in his house at us Clinton street.
Mr.. McGrath was on his way home
from work at the Standard steel Car
works when he met with his fatal ac-
cident.
