Nagel Lighting System Of Hammond, is
now in durance vile in the city bastile
as a result of provoking one assault
and engaging in another.
The encounter is said to have follow
ed a period of intoxicaton. Sam
uel Skufakiss swore out the war
rant in the case of provoke and Frank
r. Jones charges Nagel with assault.
Jones recently closed a deal for the
purchase of the Nagel Lighting sys-
tenn. One of the terms Of The purchase
was that Nagel was to pay all of the
number of checks last night in favor of
the men but to have Withdrawn his
funds from the bank this morning.
This precipitated the trouble. His
attitude towards Slxufakiss was such
as to warrant his swearing out a war
rant charging provoke and in the case
of Jones. NageI is alleged to have stab
bed him with file. The file injured

When Nagel was finally arrested ny

| GET REWARD
Current Report on Streets
That Mayor Becker Is to
Make New Board Appoint
ments; Davis and Schloer
to Be Supplanted.

That John l. Rohde and Thos. Swan
ton are to supplant Jacob Schloer and
Peter Davis, respectively. on the board
of public works was report that was
current today although unauthorized
by the people most interested. The re-
port follows on the heels of the one
that changes are to be made IN the per-
sonnel of the board.
Mayor Becker would not commit him
self today other than to say that he
is contemplate ting making a change.
Even if there is to be a change, he
said, ut would not be made within a
day or two, as the old board will first
make it's annual report.
Mayor Becker regretted that the re-
FORT should have gotten out before he
could talk the matter over with the
old board a thing which he very much
desired. because of the good relation
between himself and his board.
John L. Rohde is a former chairman
of the board of public works. and con-
sequently is a man of experience. He
has a large following in the city OF
Hammond, and this will be greatly
pleased by his selection. Thomas
Swanton, former candidate for mayor
in the republican primaries, is no less
| popular with his constituency. He re-
| fused absolutely to discuss the posi-
! bility of his selection saying that he
knew no more about it than his Gues-
! toner.

BUY SOME
H0H Man
ST. FRONTAGE

One of the largest deals in real es-
tate that has been made IN some time
was consummated yesterday when
Gostlin. Meyn & Co. purchased $50 feet
of Holman street frontage on the east
side of the street and fronting on the
river from d. A. Young.
The consideration is not known. Tie
property is valuable for store and
warehouse purposes, and as a location
for Email industries. 1t IS understood
that the company will soon commence
the erection of su ostantial building
on the property for a wholesale gro
Gerry house.
The property consists of an acre and
a half of land, and the Wilcox street
frontage is to be used for small indus
tries. The property is accessible by a
side track from the Michigan Central
railroad This makes it exceedingly
valuable.
d. A. Young is the son of the found :
er of Hammond who laid out the first
subdivision here. He expects to re-
invest the money in a business enter
prise with which he is connected 1t
was Young who recently sold the build :
| ing. on State street. which was occupied
| by c. t. Baker to Gostlin, Meyn G. Co,
who afterwards sold il to Judge ". s.
Reiter
| Gostlin, Meyn & Co, acting for ]. w
| Konicke of Hammond, bought twenty
eight lots near the corner of Gostiir
! street and Calumet avenue from John

| The same firm sold fifty feet on Cal
umet avenue to Nicholas Landvogt and
| fifty feet on Webster avenue to John
Keller. A number of smaller sales
makes the real estate activity of tho
week rather notable.
