ELK LODGE KEEPS
KINDEL' S GROVE
Foresters Abandon August
II AS Date For Their
Picnic.

BY the flip of coin which turned
tail" up, the Elk lodge retained Kin
dePs grove for it's picnic on Aug. 18th.
BY the same token with heads down,
the Court Luers, c. o. F., gracefully
gives way to the 1lks. In this manner
the committees from each of the two
lodges decided as to who shall have the
grove for the 18th of next month. Each
of the committees believed itself en-
titled to the grove for the 17th. but
each respected the others firm convic-
tion. There was a misunderstanding
somewhere. and as one side had to give
in the committees resorted to the old
sportsman's method of Tipping coin.
George Hanlon chose heads for the
Foresters and Attorney John A. Gavit
chose tails" Captain Hanlon tipped
the coin, and the controversy was set
tied as amieably as had been prom
ised
Both organizations were eager for
the day. In the first place it is the
best day OF the week. An earlier week
would not be very feasible, because
of the lateness. After the 18th the
knight Teplars conclave, the county
fair and the Labor day picnic will be
due.
Captain Hanlon said this morning
that he was not ready to make any
announcement just now as to when
the Foresters will hold their picnic.

have been under other circumstances
DR.. Goodrich is said to have been on
his way to st. Margaret's hospital, but
did not finish the trip on his motor
cycle, instead Fleischauer invited him
into the machine and took the doctor

quite so fortunate. He sustained sew

A misunderstanding of each other
as to the side of the street on which
they would pass each other led to the
collision. DR.. Goodrich was struck

made against him by the Gary Evening

He says that he can do nothing
further in the way of building the ap-
proaches until Contractor Croweu gets
his shanties and machinery out of the
way. He says that it is impossible

ditions.

take him more than three weeks to do

ton to j. NJ. Bradford. the most notable
deal in business property. there have
been a number of sales in residential
property.
J. S. Blackmun & Co. have had an es-
pecially good month during July con-
sidering the fact that the weather has
been so hot that there has been very
little interest taken in real estate
THE TINES story of the building i'm
provements that are contemplated on
Holman street, between the Michigan
Central tracks and the river, fur
nished the sensation of the week in
realty circles.
There are indications of a building
boom in the city. in view of the fact
that labor difficulties have been set
tied and the investors and contractors
now have an idea of what they can
count on.
The following property was sold
within the last ten days by J. s. Black
nun & Co.:
Two lots on Chicago avenue, near
Columbia. were sold to Jas. H Ramey.
Three lots on Chicago avenue be-
tween Hickory and Ash, sold to S.

INSPECTOR
TAKES Up THE
SITUATION

The first tangible result that has
been accomplished by the agitation for
better mail service came when Inspec-
tor OF the Railway Mail Service Boaz
came to Hammond yesterday and be-
gan an investigation of the situation
here.
He got a schedule of all of the mail
trains from the east and west and the
north and south, and with this data
he expects TO make a study of the sit
uation and finally make his recommen-
daaions.
It Is understood that it is Boaz'
idea that the railway trains should
be used wherever possible in improving
the inter-city service, and then the
rest may be handled by the interur-
ban cars.
For instance, the fact is pointed out
that the service on the Michigan Cen
trail railroad between Hammond and
Gary is very good and there is no rea-
son why there should not be a fire.

East Chicago, July 23.-A mob of
between four and five hundred in
furiated men made a demonstration
before the residence of Father Paul
Bogner pastor of the Hungarian
Catholic church, Holy Trinity, in
Oklahoma Thursday, during which
threats were made to kill the priest.
The trouble arose during the after
noon when a committee from
benevolent society connected with
the church, and which intends giving
a dance tonight, waited upon Father
Bogner and demanded some money
belonging to the organization, and
the society emblems, which the priest
had in his keeping.
The Priest refused to give up the
property until the society had made a
settlement for two funerals for which
ather Bogner had advanced the money

ONE BEST
JOKE Of WEEK
COMES OUT

The best joke of the silly season is
a letter which was received from A.
r. Walton of st. Louis, Mo-. who wrote
TO Secretary E. F. Johnston in some
thing like the following strain:
'Will locate automobile factory in
your city. Must have ten acres of
ground and will expect the people of
Hammond to subscribe for 100000
worth of common s5o,oo0 worth of
preferred stock. Wire your answer
Johnston wrote to him and stated
that the people of Hammond were not
in the habit of investing S250,000 in a
proposition without knowing some
thing about it.
One of Johnston's friends suggested
that he should have wired Walton as
follows: I'VE accept your proposition;
what is it?"

BUSINESS MEN PLEASED
OVER THEIR PROSPECTS

1t is understood that the business
men on North Holman street are de-
veloping considerable pride as a result
of the discovery of the fact that in
the neighborhood of 100000 will be
spent on improvements on this street
in the next year two.
Some time ago the proposition came
up of having electric arches placed
over the street n the same manner as
they have been erected on South Hoh-
man street and State street.
According to Charles Stewart nearly
all of the property owners on the
street agreed to pay the necessary cost.
but nothing was done about the matter.
1t is thought that this would do a great
deal toward attracting business to this
section of the business district.
