STORM HITS GARY HARD

The storm which struck Gary yes
terday afternoon, about ) o'clock was
one Of the most violent which the city
has had for some time. The wind and
hail, which hit the city with great
force at this time. did considerable
damage to trees, windows and shacks.
1t was reported on South Broadway
that large number of the temporary
shacks which had been constructed to
house the foreigners and some of the
white people. had been blown down.
There was no one reported hurt. al
though considerable inconvenience
was experienced. Among the windows
which were blown in were those in
the office Of Joseph Frost, contractor.

The first services in the new Cath

MARATHON WILL Be RUN
New Course Will Be De

Are Bought.

In spite of the fact that the bridge
over the Little Calumet river at Broad
way has been torn out and the course
for the Marathon race to Hobart will
have to abandoned, Chairman Sam Sax
of the general arrangements committee
says that the race will be run lust
the same, as the prizes have been pur-
chased and he wants to give them
away to some one
The course will now have TO be
changed and it may be possible that
the race will be run up and down
Broadway from Fifth avenue to the
Pennsylvania tracks. The spectators
would then be able to follow the
racers from the time they started until
the finish and would be of much more
interest to them. As far as the racers
are concerned, however, the pavement
will not be as desirable to race on as
the country roads for the distance of
fifteen miles
The length of Broadway from Fourth
avenue to the Pennsylvania tracks. the
paved portion, is nearly two miles,
which would make the round trip near
~ four miles. It would only be neces-
sary to run up and down the street a
little over three times to make the ne
cessary fifteen miles.

OWNERS
WERE KICKING
Bedlam Reigned on Gary's Principal
ThOrOughfare, But Town Board
Decides to Call Halt on the
Little Fellows and Community
Approves.

After passing an ordinance licens-
ing the FIVE and ten-cent theaters in
Gary, the town trustees yesterday
passed another ordinance making the
operation of more than one theater in
a city block outside of the fire linn
it's and the erection Of another theater
within the fire limits. prohibitive.
This means that Broadway can never
have more than seven five and ten
cent theaters and that before any 9th
err company can locate in this city it
Will be necessary to purchase one of
the theaters now in operation.
The object of the ordinance was to
preent the city being over-run with
multitude of nickelodeums and to pro-
tect the property holders along the
street. who are not only bothered with
the noise connected with the theaters
but whose insurance rates have been
doubled many times over by the build
ing of these theaters.
AS the fire limits Is the most desir-
able part of the city within which to
operate a theater, it is not believed
that there will be any more places of
amusement of this character located in
the city. The fire limits include
Broadway, its entire length, and the
desirable portions of Washington and
Massachusetts street. If theaters are
to be erected outside of this pre-
scribed territory there must be but
one in a block.
The passage of this ordinance by the
town board was the best possible favor
that they could have conferred upon
the present managers of theaters. The
ordinance is. in effect, an exclusive
franchise for the operation Of these
theaters and assures them that they
will have the field to themselves, for
the present at least

PIONEER PASSES AWAY

Settlers.
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Whiting, Ind. April THE death of
Mrs. Mary O'Neil, which occurred at
her home in One Hundred and Tween
ty-first street, was a surprise TO Whit
ing people in general.
Mrs. O'Neil was an old resident of
Whiting. moving here from Cleveland
in pioneer days and locating in what
was then known as Oklahoma. When
this place was bought up by the Stand
ard Oil company she moved to Whit
ing proper. where she has since re-
sided. practically alone. her husband
having met his fate several years ago
at the Pennsylvania crossing.
The immediate cause of her death is
thought to have been dropsy, together
with old age.
The funeral will in all probability be
held from the Sacred Heart church to-
morrow morning and it is thought the
interment will be at Hammond.
Mrs O'Neil is survived only by an
adopted daughter. who was also her
niece. Mrs. Nellie Ames of Chicago.

has in the project.
"On the Humboldt river, eight
miles from Lovelock, 10000 acres
of fertile land in the Humboldt
basin is being reclaimed, and at
the present time over 100 teams
are engaged in developing the soil.
The finances are being furnished by
J. ]. King, the cattle man, and Will
liam Pitt.
AT Wells, 10000 acres have been
secured by a concern known as the
Pacific Reclamation company, which
is financed by New York capital
lists, who have placed their personal
checks for 100000 in the treasury
to carry out the work.
The cream of the land subject
to reclamation, lies in southern Ne
vada. Not long ago four young
men secured section of land and
after sinking an artesian well Sc
cured a flow of water sufficient for
irrigating their property. A few
days ago they were offered 500 an
acre for the section, and refused tc
sell. This is just an example of the
prices offered by investors. The de-
mand for southern California lands
has exceeded the supply and now
the people are turning their eye:
toward Nevada, which in a year II
