FARMER FINDS
HIMSELF RICH
Ernest Buse of Tolleston Closes q
Deal Yesterday in Whiting For
a Neat Forty Thousand

acres OF land, southwest of Tolleston,
are involved in the transaction.
LOCATION IN TOLESTON.
The property is located near the
corner of the Clark road and twenty
fifth street in Tolleston. about mile
and a quarter from the built UP portion
of that suburb of Gary. There are 55
acres in one piece and 33 in another.
Bernstine represented himself and
Joseph Smith, Bernard Berancik and
Jooseph Goodman: all of Chicago. The
purchasers expect to subdivide part of
the property at once and put 1t on the
market.
There was not much money involved
in the transaction as was first reported
and the selling price was greatly ex-
agerated. Buse, however, has made a
good deal and will be independent for
life. He is one OF the old residents OF
Toleston and his neighbors are con-
graduating him on his good forune.
Buse has not decided yet what he will
do However he thinks he will buy a
small farm and spend the rest of his
days in the enjoyment of the fortune
which he was able to get out of his
Toleston property.

SYSTEM
NOT ENTIRE
SUCCESS
American Maize Products
Concern Is, However,
Striving Faithfully to
Remedy Defect in New
Filtration Plan.

The sewage filtration plant in con-
nection with the American Maize Prod
ucts plant at Roby, which was expect
ed to be perfect in the way of purify
ing the waste water that goes into
Lake Michigan, is said to be not as
satisfactory it was expected to be.
The filtration plant is being used to
some extent, but not on as large a
scale as was originally planned. In
stead the company has adopted an aux
iliary method. which is aimed to make
up for the deficiency of the sewage
filter. The outlet of the plant into
the lake has been extended for a
length of 800 feet. and lies twelve feet
below the surface of the water In
that way the waste water carrying the
grain offal is somewhat diluted
DR.. w. D. Weis, secretary of the
board of health, when asked about the
present status of filtration did not put
his o. X. on the system, but was will
Ing to give due credit for the com
pany's efforts. DR.. Weis is of the opin-
ion that the unsanitary possibilities
in the waste coming from the plant
have been over-estimated. He is, how
ever, still insisting that the company
continue to bend every effort to filter
its waste water as much as possible.

friends and when they sobered up they
decided to let the matter drop.

Attention to Monoplanes
and Biplanes = Expects to

Frank Cooley, one of Hammonds s
most ardent automobile enthusiasts, is
said by his friends to entertain plans
to enter the aviation field. Mr.. Cooley
himself has said very little about the
matter, but those know his love for
the intricacies of machinery, and have
heard him discuss aeroplanes, BIZ
planes, monoplanes, dirigible balloons
and other types of air-crafts, would
not be surprised to see him steering
one of these himself one of these days.

time in his Overland touring car. does
It not so much for the speed that ne
can get out of the machine-for he is
not a speed maniac-as for the pleas
ure he gets out of running the ma
chine for the pleasure there is in
knowing that the machine runs per-
fectly.
He is student of locomotive ma
chinery, especially types which are
aimed to make for speed. With such a
taste it is but logical that his mind
should turn from the automobile to
the higher achievement-the aircraft
While the aviation meets are on in
Chicago it is a safe bet TO say that
Frank Cooley will be there to acquaini
himself with the detail of the sport.

Ernest Buse of Tolleston today
finds himself a rich man as a result
of the building Of Gary. Forty years
ago he took over his fathers farm
estate in Tolleston never dreaming
that it would some day be near one
of the greatest steel producing
centers in the world Last Saturday
he sold it to Louis Bernstine of Chi
cago for $3.50. an acre or for $39, 800.
1t is another of the romances of
the real estate in the Calumet dis
trict in Indiana. 1t is another case
of the winning of a fabulous fortune
from land that is too impoverished
for successful farming and which
has only been made valuable by the
industrial progress of this locality.
Buse was represented by Attorney
George B. Sheerer of Hammond and
Berstine was represented by Attorney

HAMMOND
MAN WOULD
USE FORCE
Ex- Sheriff G. III. Fredrichs
Wants to See the Seaman
Road Built at Once. Would
Deputize Citizens to Pre-
vent Interference.

Charles Friedericks is of the opinion
that something should be done by the
people of Crown Point and Gary to
force the building of the Seaman line
between those cities
While Charles Friederichs is Ham
mond man, he is interested in a great
deal of Crown Point property, and to-
gether with the rest of the business
men of Crown Point would like to sec
the road built at once.
Friederichs says that the only way
to meet the tactics that have been en-
ployed by Mayor Thos. E. Knots of
Gary, in the interests of the Gary &
Interurban line in which he used the
police force to prevent the construc-
tion of the Seaman line from the
bridge over the Little Calumet river
southwark. is to use force
Would Deputize Hundreds.
Friederichs says that he would like
to see hundreds of citizens in Gary
and Crown Point deputized by Sheriff
Thos. Grant that If the Gary police
force again attempts to prevent the
laying of rails it could be opposed by a
similar force
Friederichs was informed that the
matter is still in the courts and is in
statu quo and, although no injunction
has been issued restraining the Gary
police from interfering with the con-
struction of the line the courts will
decide one way another later on.
Just what Friederichs will do is not
known until he makes an investigation
as to the matter and learns just what
is the legal status of the case Suffice
it to say that he wants to see the road
built at once and is willing to see
Knots policemen opposed by a force
of deputy sheriffs strong enough te
prevent Knots from blocking the
building of the line any longer
