There was great excitement between
the friends of the rivals for the ring.

Bridget Germans chances for a time
looked slim. as the voting went far
ahead in favor of Mics Anna Flack But
Miss German was game and in last

friends lined up and inside of fifteen
minutes had not only filled IN the mar
gain. but far outstepped her friend
the enemy in the race John McGan,
who is himself a contestant for hon
ors in the mems contest forgot about
his own cause, and waded in to fight
for Miss German. and it was really his
good work in behalf Of the popular
little Irish girl which counted in the
final roundup.

cult court at Valparaiso tomorrow.
Henry X. Steis of South Bend acting
as special judge in the hearing
Last Saturday a party of fifteen en-
gineers and witnesses in the case
headed by Randall W. Burns and At
torney Frank B. Patee of Crown Point
came to Gary in automobiles and
tramped over about six miles of the
territory acected by the construction

Attorneys F. b. Pattee and Randall
w. Burns are appearing for the pc
titioners. The demonstrators are rep
resented by a large number of at.
torneys of Hammond. Gary and Val
paraiso and 1t is said the case will bt
hotly contested. The plan is to con
struct dam in the river at a point
east of Tolleston near Black Oal
which is the high point in the river
between its source and the outlet. The
ditch will then follow the course Of
the river to its source. At a poin
near Dune Park a new channel will b,
cut from the river to Lake Michigan
and with the dam at Black Oak the
water flow of the water from each di
rection will be reversed and the wa
ters will be emptied into Lake Michi
gan at Dune Park.
| Attorney Frank B. Pattee in talking
| to a TINES representative last Satur
day evening said he had cause to be
lieve that the remonstrance can b.
amicably settled. If this is the cas-
the work on the big ditch will b.
