ROSS MAN
CLEARED IN COURT
Charles Shields Not Guilty
of Highway Rob
berry.

Joseph Conroy has just returned
from Crown Point, where he has been
defending Charles Shields. charged with
with highway robbery. The complain
ing witness was Andrew Brundzo, who
claims he was robbed by Shields.
Conroy sprung coup when he hailed
a stranger into court and said, This
man didn't hold you up did he" Brund-

Gated at the time he was robbed. said:
Yes. it is" and that alone proved that
Brundzo was unable to identify his
alleged hold-up.
The case went to the jury and it
was not more than ten minutes in
rendering a verdict of not guilty. The
people of Ross were greatly interested
and there were large number of wit
nesses on both sides.

New security issues on the part of

numerous than anticipated so far this

Of Industrial companies interviewed

would be small. They based their ar

sary However, the majority of the
Industrial companies are operating on
the average basis of So per cent of

FOR YOUR HEALTH'S SAKE
FEEDING BABIES.

1t Is not only during the sum-
mer months that great care
should be taken in feeding the
babies. Many infants are killed
every year by overfeeding and
more by wrong feeding. There
are many mothers who make a
practice of bringing their babies
to the table and giving them a
little of this and little Of that
and the other-meat, vegetables,
pie, pickles, or whatever may be
on the table.
These are all articles Of diet to
which the little stomach is not &C
customed, nor is it capable of ia
king care of them. The result is
that the baby sickens, often dies,
and the death certificates usually
show as a cause diarrhea, dysen-
terry, cholera infantum, summer
complaint, convuIsions, brain fe-
yer, etc, but all these are only
names that are used for the re-
suit of poisoning with improper
food.
So, don't oVerfeed the babies;
don't give them rich food, meats,
gravles, pastries, cake, etc, nor a
great variety. The simpler the
food the better Keep up the daily
bath until it becomes a fixed hab-
It, and give them all the fresh air
and sunshine possible.

Passage of Gary and Inter

in City and Is Not Ap-
proved by Others.
NOT AN EXCEPTIONAL
FRANCHISE FOR CITY
Plenty of Street Car Company Pro-
moters Say That Any Company
Would Willingly Grant Same Con-
cessions to Get Franchise That
Gary G Interurban Did.

The passage of the Gary & Interur-
ban franchise by the Hammond city
council last Tuesday evening has been
received with mingled feeling Of ap-
proval and disapproval by the various
interests in Hammond. ON the whole.
it seems that the company is welcome.
not because il is the Gary & Interur-
ban. but because Hammond wants in
terurbans from all directions. The
business men in the business district
are happiest over the assurance that
an additional line has been added.
There is. of course a difference Of
opinion as to the desirability of the
local line and the interurban using
the State street route and the loop,
and the probabilities are that the ma
jority would have welcomed a work
ing agreement between the two com
panies, but since there seemed to be
not even a remote possibility for this
they are satished with The next best
way out. 1t is not probably that the
East Sibley street people will carry
their fight any farther. The franchise
now awaits the signature Of the mayor.

There are few councIlmen who will

/ it is the only thing they can say in
view of the fact that they voted for it
but it is by no means an exceptional

/ this day and age of franchises it has
nothing in it that any company would

street car men and many interurban
promoters who will saw so. Even the
provision compelling the company to

SAY WORK IS TO
BEGIN RIGHT AWAY
Gary and Interurban Rail
road Will Try to Get
Tolleston Franchise.
MAY GO FURTHER NORTH
If Tolleston Excludes Interurban,
Company Says 1t Will Be
the Loser.

That the Gary & Interurban railroad
time in beginning the construction of
the line between Hammond and Gary,
is shown by the fact that this morn
ing an engineer arrived on the scene
to look over the ground and make the
necessary surveys.
AS the spring is already pretty well
advanced. it will be necessary for the
officials of the company to begin at
once to make preparations for the
building of the line. if it is to be com
pIeted within the stipulated time.
The next thing that will be neces-
sary for the company to do is to Sc
cure a franchise in Tolleston. 1t is un-
derstood that the people of Tolleston
have already had a change of heart
and that they are now in favor of
permitting a line which connects the
heart of Gary with the heart of Ham
mond pass through that town.
May Force Change of Route.
If the town of Tolleston turns down
the Gary & Interurban line, this com
| pany will be forced to run into Ham
mond over Fifth avenue. This route
would be a direct one, but 1t cuts In
| two some valuable acreage which may
| in the future be the location of a large
| industry. OF course, the extension OF
Fifth avenue through to Gibson, which
is in Hammond, would give the re-
gion its greatest east and west thor
oughfare. 1t would be a direct con
nection between the heart of Ham
mond and the heart of Gary and man!
people argue that the natural location
of the factory district in this interven
ing territory is north Of the river an,
way
| The people of Tolleston will decid
the question for themselves. Franl
/ Gavit, one Of the cher promoters Q
the Gary & Interurban line, says tha
IL makes little difference what the peo
pie of Tolleston do. If they adopt
policy of excluding interurban line
those lines will run farther north an
that district, according to Mr.. Gavi
will be the loser.
When the Chicago, Lake Shore
South Bend line secured a franchise i
Tolleston 1t had clause tnserte
which made the town of Tollesto
agree not to permit any other line I
enter that city for a period of hv
years.
Mr.. Gavit says this contract ca
never be enforced.
