NETlIE CARRIED RAZOR
Cutting scrape Will Result
in Wenches Having to
Leave Gary.

The details of the cutting scrape,
mentioned in THE TIMES last Thursday.
among the colored woman, was brought
to light yesterday in the arrest Of two
co1ored wencheg, Maude Clark and her
mother, Nettie Clark. The victim Of
the cutting scrape was Lillian Cole
man, who claims that she has been so
seriously damaged with razors that she
was unable to swear out warrant.
Miss Coleman also avowed< before the
justice of the peace who gave her the
warrant that Nettie Clark, like the
great majority Of her colored brethren,
is never found without a razor in her
possession and is never known to hest
tate long when she has occasion to
bring it into play. This last stabbing
and cutting ARRAY is thought to be the
last of series Of unpleasant affairs in
which she has been a principal.
The trial of the parties, who were
arrested by officer Juric, Will be held
this morning and it is likely that the
two women Will either be sent to the
Crown Point jail or sent out of town
at once. Both mother and daughter
have an unenviable reputation in the
city and the police are determined to
haveSnos more trouble with them -in@the
future.

ENG[EHARDT
SELLS MORE LOTS
One of Largest Sales Made
Recently in Gary Con-
Guided Yesterday.
DELAWARE ST. PROPERTY SOLD
Real Estate Men Feel Much Encour-
aged at~the Prospects of Ac-
tivity in Market.

T. w. Englehardt, president of the
South Broadway Land company, is still
busy on his south side property and
has disposed of another large batch OF
lots on the corner of Ridge road and
Delaware street There were twenty
five lots in all and were sold to Cuff
fin and Mauzy OF the Phillips build
ing, Gary. The consideration was not
given.
The lots are all located on Delaware
street. and are considered choice resi-
dence lots. The streets have already
been improved and considerable build
ing will probably be started in this VI
entity in the near future Mr.. Engle-
hardt has himself started the con-
struction of four new houses in this
locality. He is also receiving bids for
the construction of store building al
1.-The corner of Ridge road and rBoad-
away.
The sale yesterday was one OF tns
largest that has been made recently
and Mr.. Englehardt feels much en-
| couraged over the prospects. In add
ton to these lots Englehardt sold
number of others which was recorded
| in THE TINES a few days ago.

been doing the talking and spreading
the rumors of questionable tactics in
the passage Of the bill have been in
vtted to appear at this hearing and
make good what they have said, and
that those who are under fire will be
there to take their own part. The list
is said to include several officials of
some Of the state institutions, who will
be asked TO prove what they have been
saying.
Hot Message Expected.
It is believed that If Governor Mar
shall finds as a result Of this hearing
that there was anything crooked or
questionable in the manipulation and
passage Of the Linton court bill he viii
veto it with a singing message on the
ground. that If a bill IS a good bill 1t
can be passed by fair and honorable
means and that questionable methods
are not necessary to pass it,
There is also a belief that If the
governor finds it necessary to veto the
Linton bill he will go farther and make
a searching investigation Of the meth
DDS that were used in the passage OF
the Hammond and Gary bills. and If
he finds anything to substantiate tbs
/ rumors that there was wholesale trad
ing and dealing and manipulation tc
secure their passage. he may use the
ak on them also. So it looks like the
next day or two are going to be pretty
lively around the governors office, ant
that the court bills passed at this SEES
sion are to be given a big scare II they
are not killed absolutely by the gov
ernors veto.
So far as is known Governor Mar
shall has not consulted with ANYONE
as to what should be done with any 0
the court bills. He is merely taking
his own way to find out all about then
and to make up his mind from what h
learns.

The complaint recites the whole
story OF the difficulties between Will

on the part OF Feuer to eject Smith,
how Smith resisted and held on to the

MAY Be TALL SPLIT IN
SENATE OVER COUNTY OPTION
Same Old Plan of Doing Nothing Characterzes thePro
ceedings in the House at Indianapolis
Yesterday

bill 1t is believed Mcdowell will vote
against it. Mcdowell, who represents
Sullivan county in the senate, intro
duced a bill for the separation of
Greene and Sullivan counties and the
creation of a circuit court in each coun-
ty. At the same time Bland intro
duced a bill to create a new superior
court at Linton and Sullivan. Bland
succeeded in getting his bill reported
out of the committee early and had 1t
passed in a hurry. The same commit
tee made a report killing McDowelPs
bill. This made Mcdowell sore And
now there is no telling what he will
do on the liquor bill.
So there is no way to forecast the re-
suit in the senate. The parties are
split on the proposition and it does not
look like they will ever be able to get
together on anything.
Senator Orndorf has again been de-
luged with letters from his constitu-
| ents in Huntington county asking him
to vote against the repeal OF the
county option law. Yesterday he re-
ceived about forty. Wednesday he re-
ceived forty-nine and Tuesday forty

Representative Elliotts bill which, Il
passed, would allow the New York
Air Line railroad to acquire by lease

railroad between Gary and LaPort,
was advanced to engrossment- Th'
Air Line is building a line from Soutl
Bend to Chicago and wishes to acquire
this peace of track, which now owned
by another company, and is seeking t
do so by lease rather than by purchase
So Elliott introduced a bill to CIV

Streets impossible.

Owing to the rain yesterday after
noon the streets and sidewalks of
Gary were almost impossible and the
street department were put to work
to clear off the snow and slush at
the crossings as fast as they were
able AS 1t was it was impossible to
cross the street without getting ones
feet wet and there were few who
ventured out during the day unless
they were compelled to. The street de-
partment will have the crossings in
good condition today.

The members of the Gary school
board met yesterday and considered
the matter of securing q colored teach
er. who is competent to teach the stu
dents in the new colored school, which

secure one who will be fitted for the
responsibilities of the position. It has
also been suggested that it would be
good plan to advertise for some one

Gates Erected.

The gates, which the Michigan Cen
traI have been erecting at their Broad
way crossing, are now completed and
the tower for the operator has been
erected. The gates will prove a great
protection to the public and prevent
accidents in the future, which have
happened so often at the crossing in
the past. The gates on the Michigan

erected in the city and it is to be hoped
that they will be followed by other
