representing Mary c. Milteer, the wife
Of Alfred D. Milteer deceased. formerly
well known as a Gary merchant and
real estate dealer asks $4,000 damage
from the city of Gary and the Gary IN
terurban railroad
Milteers death is alleged to have oc-
CURED in July. 1907 when he was riding
in an outomo bile from which he was
thrown when the driver attempted to
avoid pile of brick and depression
in the street
A1feeer sufTsrcd from a fracture OF
two ribs which pierced his lungs and
caused his death. The accident is said
to be due to the fact that the piles of
brick and the failure to pave the street
between and on either side of the
tracks necessitated the driving of the
machine to one side and caused the ac-
cident.
Leaves Eight Children
Milteer us survived by a wife and
eight children who are dependent upon
him for support. The children are Al
ton, Mary, Nellie, Catherine, Floyd.
Minnie, Arthur and Emory
The complaint is lengthy one and
recites that the present company took
over the franchise of the Gary and
Interurban Railway Co. from Frank
Gavit. The company's responsibility
lies in the fact that it had agreed to
pave portion of Broadway throughout
its entire length.

F. s. BETz
CAUGHT
No FISH

F. s. Betz' Saturday fishing trip did
not-pan out very we'll. In fact, the trip
did not end in fishing excursion at
all. Mr.. Betz and his party had expect
edit to go to Auburn, Ind. and then take
an automobile trip of forty miles to
the fishing grounds, but the roads were
so bad that it was impossible to run a
machine through the mud and after the
arrival at Auburn it was found advis-
able to return.
1t was expected that had Mr.. Betz
been able to make the trip to the lake
where he intended to fish it would have
been necessary for him to cut a hole
in the Ice before he could have dropped
In line
However, the Hammond instrument
manufacturer, has not given up the
idea OF going fishing aand at the first
good opportunity he will steal off again
and attempt to secure the members of
the finny tribe.

HOT Time AT
CONVENTION
Lawrence Becker's Candi-
dacy Attracts Some Lit
tie Attention.

Indianapolis, Ind, April 25.-Tom
Taggart's followers and campaign
managers declare that they have at
least 1,100 delegates to the Demo-
cratic state convention on whom they
can depend to support Taggart and
to knock the Governors plan to have
the convention nominate a candidate
for Senator.
They say they have at least a
thousand in addition to what they
may get in Marion county, and they
are figuring that Marion county will
be practically solid for Taggart and
against the Governor.
THEY WON'T ADMIT 1T.
The anti-Taggart people do not ad-
NIT that this is a correct statement of
the situation, though many of them are
afraid that Taggart has them beaten.
A few days ago calculations were
made here which showed that the gov
ernor's plan would probably be adopt
ed by the lconvention by very close
vote. the majority being placed at nine
out of the total OF 1747 delegates. But
since then several changes have been
made in the line up, and it appears now
from a careful study of the figures that
Taggart will win.
REVISED FIGURES OUT.
The revised figures give the vote as
S57 in favor of the plan and $50 against
