COMMISSIONERS HAVE
 FUN ON THEIR OUTINGS
Interesting Tales Told on Their Return
 from Fishing and Hunting.

Thursdav's Hartford rourant had the following interesting tale:
 Broiled skate a la Potter squirrel pie a la Scoville and roasted coon Ia Walter Garde is the tempting menu which Gen. Heman O. Averill, commits sioner on domestic animals. has select ed for a dinner to be given Labor Com missioner William H. Scoville, Dairy Commissioner Hubert F.. Potter and Deputy Dairy Commissioner Tyler F. Cruttenden.
 The above named men, with the ex- ception of Mir Scoville, went fishing on the sound off Crescent Beach a few days ago at the invitation of Deputy Commissioner Cruttenden- They hired fisherman to sail them out to the fishing grounds in his boat and on the way there Commissioner Potter made wager that he would catch the first fish. The wager was taken up. though not without some misgivinRs, for many stories of MT. Potter's skill as Ash ern1an had been heard in the office of the dairy commissioners at the capi- tol.
 His usual luck was not with him this time however. for the deputy com missioner caught the first fish-a fine sea bass. Then the boatman hauled in a skate. sometimes called an old maid, because. General AVer1H nalVely explained. it is nos earthly good. His explanation was greeted with sup pressed giggles by the two young wom- en in the office. hut this did not phase the general bit.
 The skate was thrown disdainfully aside. A few minutes later Commis- sioner Potter began to brighten up, and. tugging furiously on his line, ex- claimed: I've got a good one" With his customary skill he hauled the fish carefully to the surface of the water and there was the old skate. dangling head downward from his hook AS if ashamed to look the the commissioner in the face. the fish hung its head, for it had been hooked through the tail!
 Along about the same time that this episode was taking place on the sound Labor Commissioner Scovile went hunting down the river He had not gone far into the woods when he spied big gray squirrel sitting up coyly on the limb of a tree. He took aim and blazed away. The squirrel did not move. Then he blazed away again and again, but still the squirrel did not move. Then he decided to climb the tree and put some salt on it's tail This he was able to do without difficulty. for the squirrel was stuffed with paper.

She Was the Ghost.

The following peculiar ghost story is taken from the recently published duiary of Sir Mountstuart GrsTit Duff:
 "A certain lady and her family hired a place in Scotland which was haunt ed by the ghost of a woman who was to be seen constantly at night wander ing through the rooms and passages. When the family arrived the lady was much struck with the place, and said I must have been here before. for I know this place so well. only there ought to be two rooms here, and there Is only one.' The agent replied that within few weeks. the owner had caused a partition to be taken down and made the two rooms into one.
 Still the lady was puzzled at her Knowledge of the place, till she remem- bered that it was a house she used to go to in her dreams. Well some time passed, and the agent was up at the house again, when the lady complain cd that one part of the. contract had not been fulfilled.
 They had hired a. house and a ghost for the. summer. and no ghost had she seen @ The. agent replied: Of course not. because you are the ghost: we recognized you sthe moment we saw yOif'

CREENEvILLE MAN IS MISSING
Peter Kendall as been Away for Nearly Two Weeks
 Family Unable to Locate Him.

there had been no appearance of the missing man in that city, and all further efforts to find hiv have been unavailing.
 Mir Kendall was employed as a print CT at the United States Finishing com pany's plant. and his reputation was that of a steady and reliable workman. His habits were good, and no reason is known which would cause him to dis appear. His family consists of a wife and four children.
 About a year ago he was i'll. receiv- ing treatment at the Baclxus hospital. 1t is thought that this illness may have caused mental trouble, which might ac- count for his sudden departure. He has a mother living in Scotland, and it is thought he may possibly have de- cided to cross the water.

Do YOU

Candidates for Gary's New
Superior Court, if She
Gets One, Are Beginning
to Shy Their Casters Into

With its usual confidence Gary Is
banking ON getting the superior court
in Gary to such an extent that there
has already been several names men
toned as the possible selection by
Governor Marshall for the position of
superior court judge should Gary be
fortunate enough 10 win the prize.
There have been three of the leading
democratic lawyers of the city men,
toned for the place, none of which
however. have become an avowed can
didate, owing 10 the uncertainty of Sc
curing the court. Those who have been
suggested are Ora l. Wildermuth, w
II. Fitzgerald and Harvey Curtis.
Mr.. Wildermuth has been one of the
most active political workers in the
city, and during the last democratic
county convention, which was held in
this city. he acted as permanent chair
man of the convention He, together
with Mr.. Curtis and Mr.. Fitzgerald,
were active members of the demo-
cratic club of Gary. which had charge
of the recent campaign in this city.
Although there is no assurance that
Gary will receive a court, the poll
ticians of the city take a great deal
of interest in specializing as to who

FOUR ACCIDENTS OCCUR
WITHIN THREE HOURS
Employees More or Less
Painfully Injured at
Inland Steel Mills.
KEEPS ONE PHYSICIAN BUSY
Robert s. Brady of Indiana Harbor
Has Eyesight Badly
Injured.
KEEPS ONE PHYSICIAN BUSY
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Indiana Harbor, Ind. Jan. 21.-Dr.
Robert Ansley, physician in this city
for the Inland Steel company, was
somewhat busy yesterday morning
when. within a period of three hours.
four accidents were reported to him
as occurring at the local mill. Three
of the injured men are Americans and,
while the accidents are not fatal in
every case, they are very painful and
may cause an illness of several days.
At $50 a. M. yesterday morning Mike
Stany, a foreigner residing on Deodar
street, slipped on a piece of steel and
fell, striking his head against pile of
sheet iron standing near. A deep
cash. almost nine inches in length, re-
suited. and Stanys terrified companions
rushed him to the physicians office.
A trail of blood followed their foot
steps. Dr. Ansley found that the wound
was not fatal and inserted eight
stitches, removing the man to st. Mar
garet's hospital for careful nursing.
w. r. McQuellan, who resides at 1920
Elm street, was struck in the mouth by
a piece of steel and his lower lip bad
ly lacerated. while John Evans, an en-
ploye of the mill, severed one of the
large veins of his right arm while cut
ting down an iron pack. Probably the
most serious accident of all was that
in which Robert S. Brady, of this city
had the sight of his right eye injured
by the splashing of molten metal. The
eyelid and flesh were badly burned
and the physician declared that the eye
would be permanently blind An I'M
| fortunate feature of the accident was
that Brady had the other eye injured
in a similar accident several years ago
and while the sight is not totally de.
stroyed it is badly impaired and it is
! impossible for the unfortunate mill
man to discern objects at any dis
! lance.

Sixty men died IN the great
disaster at the intermediate crib. two
miles out in Lake Michigan, yester
day. Forty eight bodies have been re-
covered and it is known that many
others are beneath the surface of the
lake. All the rescued have been tabu-
lated. The sixty are unaccount-
ed for. There is no hope that they
might have escaped. Exact identified
tion will probably never be made of
many of the bodies, for most of them
are headless. burned and dismembered.
They are all in Murphys morgue in
South Chicago. The missing. are re-
garded as dead, since all the rescued are
accounted for and there is no place
about the scene of the holocaust where
man who has not yet been saved can
survive.

CROWN POINT IS BUSY
Court Boomers at the Hub
After Continuous"
Pretty Hard.

Crown Point, Ind, Jan. 21.-As a
called meeting of the Crown Points
Business Mems association, held on
Tuesday evening, Jan. 10, 1909, the fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, The business of the Lake
circuit court has become so congested,
by reason of the increase of popula-
ton and the industrial development of
thi scounty, that said court is over a
year behind in the trial of causes, and
the rights of litigants are thereby
jeopardized, and frequently serious loss
occurs to parties whose property is in
volved in litigation, and
Whereas. The court house has been
reconstructed at an expense of over
one hundred thousand dollars and the
county jail is in course of reconstruc-
ton, at an expense of sixty thousand
dollars. and the old constitutional court
of the county is therefore placed in a
position to fully administer justice to
the people, If given the time required
to that end and
Whereas, The county seat is the place
where the major portion of all the
litigation now arising in the county
should property be tried, and the en-
vironments of the Lake circuit court
are such that many litigants prefer to
have their cases filed in this court and
the Lake circuit court is in a position
to conduct it's business most economi-
caIy to the taxpayers, there be it
Resolved that in the interest of the
people and the taxpayers we heartily
favor the proposition to make Lake
county an independent judicial court
and to make the sessions of the circuit
court practically continuous through
out the year except the summer va
cation, and we petition the present
generally assembly to enact a law te
that effect And be it further
Resolved that a copy of this resolu-
ton be mailed to each member of tbs
general assembly.
