BREWERY
GETS BIG
HOLDINGS
Last Obstacle to Erection
of $125,OOO Brewery Re-
moved Last Night by Pas
sage of Franchise. by the
Village Board.

The last obstacle to the erection of
West HammOnd's $125,O0O brewery,
which will ultimately involve an outlay
of $25O,OO was removed yesterday aft
ernOon when the West Hammond board
passed a franchise which gives the
Hammond Brewing company the right
to cross PIummer avenue with a side
track, which will make the plant ac-
cessabie by rail.
This has been the one thing which
has held up the construction of the
plant. The directors of the Hammond
Brewing company did not feel that they
could go ahead with the construction
of the plant until the switching ia
cilities had been provided for.
Has Valuable Real Estate.
The Hammond Brewing company.
which was formerly the Crown Point
Brewing company of Crown Point, has
been adding to its realty holdings un-
til it now has purchased over s1O.-
600 worth of real estate.
The holdings of the company are in
West Hammond. They are bounded by
the Michigan Central railroad right
of-way on the north, by Lincoln avenue
on. the east, by State street on the
south and by Freeland avenue on the
west. The company is now arranging
the purchase of a piece of property
a the northwest corner of State street
and Freeland avenue for a bottIing
works
Bids VIII Now BE Opened.
The bids on the construction of the
new brewery have been waiting TO be
opened for three weeks, but the delay
in getting the franchise for the switch
has resulted in their being left un-
opened all of this time.
For this reason the contractors who
bid on this job will be given a day or
two in which to make any alteration in
their bids they think advisable and
then the bids will be opened and the
contract let.
There is now no reason for delay
and It is expected that the new brew
cry will be constructed before the sum
mer is over.

Special to TIE T1MEs.)

Crown Point, Ind, Jan. 2O.-"Aunt''
Susan Clark, as she was Familiarity
known to hundreds of her friends in

of the early pioneers Of Lake county.

early age with her father and mother,
Mr.. and Mrs Henry Wells, in the

after Solon Robinson the first white

is A HEROIC
ATTENDANT
Effort Made to Keep Brave
Rescue a Secret, But It
Is Divulged.


While in deIiriurn, which Is sup
posed to have been brought on by ex-
eessive drinking, Mike sanya of East
Chicago ran TO the window on the
fourth floor of st. Margaret's hospital,
to which he had been taken. ana tried
to jump out.
One of the sisters in the hospital,
a real heroine who prefers that her
name be not mentioned, saw what the
man was about to do, and rushing to
the foot and held him.
1t was one of the most miraculous
rescues that was ever recorded in this
region. OF course, the brave sister was
unable to draw the man back into the
building. as he weighs in the neigh
borhood of $50 pounds. but she held on
with all her might and called for help.
HerOism of a Brave Sister.
One of the other sisters in the hos
pital and the porter heard her screams
and came to the rescue. Together they
managed to haul the poor foreigner
back into the building and saved his
life.
DR.. A. G. Schlicker of East Chicago.
who attended the man. says that the
delirium was brought on by excessive
drinking, but it is also fact. worthy
of note. that the man was injured at
the plant of the United States Metals
Refining company about two weeks ago
and the accident is believed to have
something to do with his mental con-
dition.
After sanya had been rescued he
turned on his rescuers in his violent
delirium and would have done them
bodily harm if it had not been that
they were able to overpower him.
City Poorly Equipped.
Owing to the fact that there is no
ward in the hospital where violent
prisoners ca nbe taken care of and the
equipment of the Hammond police de-
partment is SO below that of the FIRE
department that there is no police hos
pital, in which the patient could be
even temporarily cared for, it was
found necessary for the Hammond po-
lice to turn Sanya back to the East
| Chicago police.
He is now being kept in the East
| Chicago police station, in one Of the
! cells there. He is under the care of
3, DR.. Schlicker. and if it develops that
his physical and mental break down
was due TO drink instead of the blow
he received on the head at the United
States Metals Refining company's plant
he may recover without having to be
sent to the insane asylum
| He has brother John Sanya. in
East Chicago, who has some property
and who is paying for the care of the
patient until his mental condition i'm
proves.
Brave Sisters shun Notoriety..
The incident in the hospital hap
pened two days ago. and would proba-
bly, never have been made public IL
the sisters had had their way. It only
leaked out through some of the doc
tors and hospital attendants This,
however, is but an instance of the pres
erce Of mind. self-sacrifce and heroism
of those who have given their lives to
| help the sick and suffering.

DYNAMITE
WAS ON FIRE
Thrilling Scenes at Rescue
Of Trapped Workmen
Excite South Side.

A shocking catastrophe, in which
it is believed that over fifty men lost
their lives, took place on the south
side this morning, when dynamite
explosion occurred at the Seventy
first sreet tunnel crib, now in course
of construction.
The terrible accident happened
about o'clock and the cause of the
explosion and dynamite fire is not
known. Fully 100 men were work
ing in and on the crib at the time
and as the trembling structure quiv-
cred those on the curb jumped into
the icy waters of the lake to escape
the flames. The tug G. z. Morford
rescued over thirty men, but there
are over fifty missing, and it Is be-
lieved that they are all drowned. The
reports of the catastrophe were
highly exaggerated and reports were
spread that 500 had lost their lives.
Relatives of the dead fiocked to the
narrowing scene, and it is one of the
worst things that ever happened on
the south side. The flames of the
burning crib could be seen from
Hammond's shore line. The George
W. Jackson company is building the
crib.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 20-The fight
over the question of whether Gary
shall have a court has reached the
acute stage. Representative Garrard
of vincennes has introduced in the
house a bill providing for an addi-
tionel superior judge at Hammond, and
Representative Kliver has introduced
bill for a superior court at Gary
Efforts have been made ever since
the session opened to get the two war
ring factions of Lake county together
on this court proposition, but they
seem to be as far apart now as ever,
and it will be up to the legislature to
settle it. All hands admit that Lake
county should have additional court fa-
cilities. but Gary says the new court
should be located in that city The
Hammond people say that the bust
ness of the superior court at Ham
mond has increased to such an extent
as to make an additional court neces-
sary. Then the Gary people come back
at them and declare that this increase
of business in Gary business and that
it shows that Gary should have court
of its own.
Scarcely a day passes that some kind
of delegation from Lake county does
not drop in to see how the thing is
going. The Gary people are sore be-
cause the Hammond people had their
bill introduced in the house by rep
resentative from the extreme southern
part of the state, and the Hammond
people go back at them by saying that
1t only shows the entire state is inter
ested in having IN additional court at
Hammond.
1t is likely that the house commit
tee will make reports on the two bills
within the next few days.
