NO ACTION IS
TAKEN ON GRANT
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

East Chicago, April 3.-After consid-
ering the Calumet Traction companys
proposed franchise from o'clock
in the evening until IL o'clock, the
East Chicago common council. which
was in session last night as a commit
tee of the whole, adjourned without
having taken any definite action.
Although the council is favorably
disposed toward the project. there were
enough points in the proposed fran
chise, which needed pruning. The
council members could not rech an
unanimous decision regarding the
route to be taken, this being one of
the largest stumbling blocks for a
thorough understanding.
All the councilmen were present with
the exception of Messrs. Andrew O'Girr
and Wleklinski.

SHERIFF GRANT
NABBED HIM
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Crown Point, Ind, April 3.-Sherin
Grant caught a negro in the act of
cutting the telegraph wires between
here and Schererville last evening and
this morning he was hailed before a
local magistrate and received a sen
tence of thirty days Many consider
that this is too light a sentence for
the miscreant, as he was either crazy
or had some evil intention in cutting
the communication between Chicago
and this place. as there was no evil
dence that he intended to steal the
copper wire. The authorities were
notified at this place and took the SEA
Panhandle and caught their game
near Schererville. What the real mo-
tive Of the culprit was is unknown, but
It is the opinion Of many that a pos
sible robbery or the planning of one
was in the air at the time.

SCHOOL BOYS FIND
BODY OF FOREIGNER
Joseph Rocyoutek Found
Dead in Swamp Yester-
day Morning.
Especial to THE T1mEs.l J

East Chicago. April 3.-Two young
boys. Mark Evans and Earl Spauld-
ing, both of Forsyth avenue, yesterday
morning made a ghastly discovery in
a swamp near the Calumet river and
just west Of the canal while out hunt
ing frogs. They waded out some dis
tance into the slough when they no
ticed what appeared to be the body of
a man, lying face downward over a
muskrat mound. The boys approached
close enough TO be convinced that the
man was dead, and then hastened to
East Chicago to notify the police. The
body was identified yesterday after
noon as that of Joe Pocyontek, an EN-
ploye Of the Block Pollock company
Chief Higgins dispatched Sergeant
Charlie Bowen and officer John La
zarak to the spot described by the
boys and the latter upon finding the
body OF the dead man, notified Free
man Fife, the East Chicago under
taker, to take care Of it. The dead
mans face was buried in the mud, and
his condition indicates that he was
smothered to death.
The body had evidently lain where it
was found for some days. The de-
scription as furnished by Undertaken
Fife served to solve the mystery as
to the dead mans identity.

THERE IS A REASON.

A few facts may be of interest
to advertisers and readers of The
Times. This paper yesterday
printed nearly ffty-fve columns,
or LOO inches of advertising,
more advertising than was printed
in all other daily papers in Lake
county put together. The paper
itself was as large as all the other
daily papers in Lake County put
together. 1t had a circulation over
five times greater than all the
other daily papers in Lake county
put together. 1t printed more
news than all the other daily pa
pers in Lake county put together.
incidentally, entirely unsolicited,
The Times yesterday, by mail, by
telephone and by carrier, added A
new names to its subscription list,
not counting an increase of $50 in
street sales. These are bald state
ments Of facts for advertisers to
ponder over. There is a reason.

More Forest Reserve Troubles.

A committee representing the residents of Cuba, N M.. and vi cinity and was headed by E. A. Miera. the wellknown sheepman and speaker of the last legislative house. has been in conference here with the officials of the forest ser- vice district headquarters relative to the proposed withdrawal of a considsiderable area around Cuba from the national forest there. The Sandoval county people desire some 150,000 acres eliminated in that locality on the ground that there is an insufficient stand of timber on part of the area to war rant it's inclusion in the reserve and that the number of residents in certain parts of the tract is so great that the timber will all be used in the course of few years at all events.
