Lemick told of how on the night of
May 18th. he in company with Sam

Wohonovich told him that II he would
go over to Rebrecca's house and kill
him he would release him from a $3.50
board bill which he owned him. The
liquor crazed foreigner hastily dress

escape.

BIG DEMAND FOR HIM.
Undoubtedly there would be heavy
demand for Roosevelt in all parts Of
the state. and it would be a difficult
matter to SO place him as to satisfy
everybody. From the present talk it
seems more than likely that If he
comes to Indiana to make speeches he
will stay a week. 1t is figured here
that he would make one speech in lake
county, one at South Bend. one at Fort
Wayne, one at Richmond one at Terre
Haute. one at Indianapolis and one at
Evansville. 1t would be possible for
him to speak at South Bend and In
Lake county one afternoon and night;
Fort Wayne and Richmond one after
noon and night; Indianapolis and Terre
Haute one afternoon and night. If he
were to remain in the state for a whole
week this would leave nearly nalf of
the total tine to be filled, and it is
hard to tell just now where he would
make the rest o his speeches.
Nothing has been heard of the mat
ter at Republican state headquarters.
The report came through press re-
ports which are said to have had their
foundation on word sent from Europe
BY correspondent for one of the large
newspapers of this country.
Everybody recognizes the tremend-
Gus influence which Roosevelt would
be able to exert on the Indiana stu
alton If he should decide to come in
and make speeches for the tilket this
fall Nothing that could be done by
the Republicans would throw the
Democrats into such utter confusion
as an invasion of the state by the
former president. One of the leading
Democrats of the state, a man who is

EXODUS Of
sQlJATTERs
MAY ISL.

May first will be a great moving day
in Gary. One hundred and thirty
families living in one section of the
city were served with notice to move
yesterday afternoon. this being the big
feature of moving day in Gary. This
will involve approximately 500 per-
sons.
The notices referred to were served
by the Gary land company on the ten
ants of shacks which have been oe-
cupying territory in the first subdivi-
sion west of Broadway and immediate
~ south of the South Shore line tracks.
These people have been occupying this
property as squaters ever since Gary
was started, upon condition that they
were to move on a five day notice No
rental has been charved for the occu-
pancy for the property.
The purpose of this action on the
part of the Land company is for the
Identification of the city as these

visitors notice upon entering the town
from the railroads in that vicinity and
it gives them bad impression of the
city, making 1t look like Gary was still
in the primeval state OF a western
mining town.
Move Southwark.
This action was considered last fall
by the company but they decided that
they would not work a hardship upon
the tenants in driving them out of
their homes in the winter time es-
pecially when residences were scarce.
Now there are plenty of places where
they may be houses and they will be
in better position to endure their
temporary dfscomforture until they can
obtain more suitable quarters.
All of the shacks in this locality are
owned by the individuals and 1t is
likely that most of them will trans
port their houses as well as their
household furniture when it comes
time to move, SO that the procession

the least. Some of them may again
find place in which they can squat
until they are driven out. but it is be-
lieved that most of them will find
permanent houses in which to live
The Land company has given the
squatters until May first in which to
move after which all of the remaining
shacks will be razeG and the land
