UNCLE SAM
CLOSES
FOR BUILDING
Inspector Rathbone Of Pos
tai Service and Agent Hall
Come to an Agreement
Present Postof1ce Site
Entirely Too Small.

The deal has practically been closed
by the government with Colonel saw
age of Joliet through his local agent,
Harry Hall for the construction of a
new building on the corner of Sixth
avenue and Massachusetts street to be
occupied by the Gary postoffice
Although the papers have not been
signed the Inspector, r. B. Rathbone
and Mr.. Hall have come to an agree
ment as to the style of the building
and the price, and it is believed that
the arrangements will be contaminated
this week
The present quarters in the Gary
building have been found inadequate
in size and the change to larger quar-
tiers in the near future has become i'm
peritive. Consequently negotiations
were entered into with various prop
erty owners for locations, and the idea
of having a building erected for that
purpose seemed the most feasible plan
to the authorities.
The property owned by Colonel Saw
age is located on the southwest corner
and was being held for the purpose of
erecting a building just as soon as a
suitable tenant could be secured. The
building proposed for the postofice is
a one-store brick structure with sky
lights al the top and plenty of light
and air.
The present postofhce quarters are
already found TO be too small for the
proper handling of the mails accord
ing TO Postmaster J. W. Call. BY the
time that the present lease expires the
room will be entirely inadequate and
it will be imperative that they move.
The volume of mail handled in the To-
cal office has increased to a far greater
extent than it was thought it would
when the office was recently moved.
The convenience of the new location
for the business men of the city in
case the Savage proposition is ac-
cepted, makes that acceptable to them.

who for many years was a resident of

police station last night and related
sade tale Ae woe.
About a year ago Mr. and Mrs. Ger

they went into business. opening a

sell out About month later phy-
sleians recommended that he go to Hot
Springs, Ark. Gerba. thinking that
this would benefit him. took the adj
vice Of the doctors and left for Hot
Springs, leaving his wife in Indiana
Harbor where she kept boarders.
After Gerba had reached Arkansas
his wife wrote him frequently, telling
him how lonesome she was and hop
ing he would soon be able to return.
Finally these letters began to decrease
in number and about four weeks ago
IHSS ceased coming altogether.
Gerba thinking the situation rather
queer and becoming worried, returned
to Indiana Harbor When he alighted
from the train he went straight to
the house where he had left his wife
and was Mortified to find the cottage
vacant Upon inquiring among the
neighbors Gerba was informed that his
wife had left Indiana Harbor three
days before with Roumanian. Nick
Burke, who had been a boarder at their
home.
The awful shock. together with the
poor health. was almost more than
Gerba could stand. but he vowed to To-
cate the couple. and he has. according
to his story last night. succeeded in this
endeavor. 1t was just a week a go that
Gerba returned and yesterday he To-
Gated his wife with Nick Burke living
at 1900 johnson street, Chicago. At the
local police station last night Gerba
seemed much exercised over the affair
and says his intentions are to have
them both arrested.

for the stained glass windows which

arrived, and work on the edifice is be-
ing rushed forward as rapidly as pos

the finishing touches. which will trans
form the handsome church into a hab-
liable house of worship
The structure is a handsome one. and
will cost when completed in the neigh

pletion is looked for within two or
three weeks at farthest.
The seats and the organ are already
in place, and almost all of the furni-
tur ehas arrived. The balance is ar
irving daily and the pulpit will be re-
ceived within a few days The floors
and trim are OF hardwood, which fea-
ture adds materially to the dignity of
the interior. The organ is an ex-
pensive one, and while not pipe organ,
is of such construction that it can be
transformed into a pipe organ at any
time that it may be desired to have
the change made.
Work on the structure began some
five or six months ago, and has pro-
ceeded rapidly. barring the delay caused
by the failure to get the windows. f.

PLUCKY WILD ASS ABOARD
SHIP DIES FROM KICKING
Beast Hammers Himself to Death ir
Storm at Sea While Being
Transferred from London
to New York

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-By misdi-
rected persistency a wild ass, destined
for the Bronx zoo, kicked himself to
death on board the steamship Mesabe
during two days storm.
The ass had been an inmate Of the
London zoo for several years, and a
few months ago was sold to the local
zoo. While being taken on board the
Mesabe the ass cheered himselef by
kicking three porters and a long
shoreman into the East End of Lon
don. December a storm arose-so
did the ass, and he did not stop kicking
while the storm lasted. He kicked a
hole in the rear of his stall, and then
t'-rned around and kicked hole in
the front. Then he kicked holes
through the sides, and when his gall
liant spirit fed he was engaged in a
vigorous effort to kick his way through
three steel decks to the engine room
and kick the boilers overheard. The
chief engineer feared he would succeed.
During his spree the ass kicked with
one foot, with two feet and with the
three feet. AS the ship rolled he some
times fell, but he never missed kick.
He could kick equally we'll from any
position. After the first day of cease
less kicking the passengers began to
make bets on which would go first, the
ass or the ship. In the end the ship
won, for after forty-eight hours of
steady hammering the ass died.
