Lincoln owing to his resemblance to
the martyred war president, became
engaged in an alteration Saturday
with Jno. Beattie, the agent for Swift
and Co. in ]. W. Anderson's grocery.
The alteration led to fsticuffs and
the fsticuffs to the arrest of both belli-
gerents, they being released later on
bail with the understanding that they
appear tomorrow before Mayor Schliek-
er to answer to the charge of assault.
The trouble arose over the 'increas-
ed cost of living" Beattie insisting that
the farmer was responsible for the
high price of meats and other food
stuffs. while SWEETS, who is a farmer at
tributed it to beef trust and other
combinations of capitalists.
The argument waxed hot and hotter
and Reattie finally became so incensed,
that he took a punch at Abe who Is

MATERIAL.
ARRIVING
ON GROUND

This morning the first material ar
rived on the grounds for the erection
of the $50 houses which the American
Sheet Steel and Tin Plate company of
the United States Steel corporation is
to build for the employees of its Gary
mills which are now in the courst of
construction
Location Selected.
A large portion of the material which
will be- shipped daily from now on will
be cement as the entire million dollar
contract specifies that eac hhouse shall
be of concrete construction. These
homes are to be located north of Fifth
avenue and will be situated on Monroe,
Jackson and Van Buren, street.
Architect Creighton of Pittsburg,
who designed the structures for the
company, has made an inspection of the
grounds and has assigned the location
for each of the structures.
For several days past Building Com
missioner Kliver and City Engineer
Melton have been inspecting some of
the plans submitted by the company
and 1t is expected that some of the first
permits will be issued today or tomor-
row.
These houses" said the commits
sioner, Are certainly going to be
beauties. They are fire proof and from
an examination of the plans l can see
that they are to be superior to any OF
the present homes in Gary. These
houses will evidently range in cos
from $4,000 to $4,000.
VIII Not Bar Unions.
The first plans submitted to the city
officials are for buildings known a:
terraces. They will be located on the
corner lots and will be Two stories II
height containing three, four and fv'
room apartments. Otherwise the homes
are TO be separate buildings.
1t was reported that non union car
penters would be employed to build thu
homes.
That report is untrue declared
prominent official of the steel corpora
ton this morning. The union carpent
crs are to be employed on thes
houses"

CAUSES SOME
NEW ANXIETY

Anxiety begins to cloud the brows
of the democratic statesmen of Gary
in connection with the appointment of
the city judgeship. Both factions of
the democracy are sharpening their
axes and Mayor Knots sits up nights
thinking how he can prevent his power
from splitting should an unfavorable
appointment be made by the governor
1t was the intention of the chief exc
cutive to give the governor merry
chase should a man not after his own
heart be elevated to the Gary bench.
Several ways had been devised to
Illustrate the governor but these have
all evaporated and the latest one that
has passed into the ethereal gloom to
have the council abolish the judgeship
in case an anti-Knotts man be exalted.
thus depriving the appointee of the
honors intended for him.
Some young legal buck has looked
UP the law on the subject and has noti-
fed the faithful that 1t will now be too
late for the council to abolish the
council to abolish the judgeship. The
statutes specifically state that the
council. if 1t wants to abolish the
judgeship, must do SO at least more
than ninety days before election. Thus
if the Gary council wants to be rid of
the judgeship it may do so with ap-
propriate dignity but it will not take
effect until January 1. 1914
Now the council cannot abolish the
| judgeship in this instance because 1t
does not exist as yet and the statutes
further specify that act of abolition
shall effect the present incumbent who
shall serve out his complete term.
Therefore as the Office will not exist
until the census returns elevate Gary
| into city of the fourth class and as
| the appointment is then to be made, the
council If 1t is so minded will be able
to exercise its perogative of abolition
but 1T will not affect the Forthcoming
appointee and will bear only on the
Judge to be elected in November 1913
Peterson And Ibach In 1t.
