The snow storm last night was one
of the most peculiar that have ever
been experienced in this locality. In
stead of coming down in fluffy fakes,
1t did the night before, the snow
resembled No. bird shot and the high
wind gave it such velocity that 1t
seemed almost like a bombardment
The storm continued practically all
night, and this morning there was IN
the neighborhood of. two inches OF
crystal shrapnel on the ground Later
in the evening the weather moderated
and a little rain fell. This froze and
q heavy crust was formed, which cas-
lily bore the weight of the human body
Last nights phenomenon is explain
ed by the following theory: The condf-
tons necessary were a moderation OF
the temperature to about the freez-
ing point. warm upper current of air
and cold lower current

STORY OF THEIR LOCATION

dent of the Chicago Title and Trust
company; David Money. director of
the Chicago Title and Trust company;
George E. Rfckcords formerly presi-
dent OF the Security Title and Trust
company, but now prominently identi-
fed with the Chicago Title and Trust
company.
During the past year the Chicago
Title and Trust company has had a
large force of men employed at the
county recorders office making COM
plete set of abstracts for the firm. At
first it was thought they would be
used for the Chicago offices. but it
later developed that they would locate
in Lake county. The books are now
nearly completed and the company
will be ready for business about the
tinct offices will be operated, one at
Gary and one at Crown Point. The
manager of the Crown Point office has
not as yet been named.
The reason OF locating the main Of
fee In Gary, according to President
Marriott, is because this city is easily
reached by railroad and interurban by
all the surrounding cities, including
Hammond. Whiting. East Chicago, In
| diana Harbor, Hobart. Miller and Toll
/ lesion.
| The location of the office at Gary
will be a great boon to the lawyers
and real estate men. of the surround
| ing cities. who will be welcome to
come to the local office where they can
/ have free access to the indices and
pIats in order to ascertain the owner
ships of property and judgments due
any person with whom they are deal
ing. This alone will save the real es-
tate man and lawyer q days trip to
| Crown Point what In Gary can be ac-
complished in few minutes.
Another feature of the concern will
| be to establish free messenger serv-
ice between Gary and the county seat.
The company will be glad to serve any
lawyer or real estate dealer or any
person interested in the way Of fling
deeds and other papers with the re-
corder at Crown Point.

East Chicago, Ind, Jan. 5.-The fash
ionable event of the year in club life
in this city took place yesterday, when
Mrs August Johnson's handsome rosi-
dence was thrown open for the New

est and most brilliant ever given by
the reading club and YVES an altogether
enjoyable, as we'll a very elegant
affair
The reading club had invited 125
guests to participate with the members
in the function, which has grown to
be an annual one with it. and even the
blustery day failed to have the effect
of keeping any perceptible number in
doors. The large company had been
invited for different hours. part of the
guests being asked for from to 8
o'clock, some from to H. and the re-
mainder to o'clock. Aside from
the fact that a delayed train caused
the orchestra to be an hour late. the
earlier guests missing this feature of
the event altogether, there was moth
ing that could have been desired, which
was wanting to make the reception an
unqualified success In every particular
Even in this emergency there were
club members who could provide mu-
sic. which they did during the interval
before the orchestra arrived. The lat
ter included a harp and violin, and rem
dered delightful music throughout all
but the first hour of the reception.
The Johnson home had been decor
ated with pink carnations and ferns
and was aglow with light and warmth
SO that to those within the increasing
inclemency of the weather as the fat
ernoon wore on, was not apparent. The
receiving line, which was composed OF
Mrs. Johnson and the members of the

COUNTY
SPELLING
CONTEST
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

Crown Point. Ind. Jan. 5.-Arrange-
ments and preparations are being made
to launch the spelling contest idea
upon the schools of the county. the ac-
count of which was given exclusively
In these columns some time ago. Prizes
and medals will be awarded to the va
rious grades, schools and high schools
winning in the progressive competi-
ton. The grand finale, which will take
place some time in April, when the best
school teams will complete. for ortho-
graphical honors, is expected to vie
with the county oratorical contest in
popularity. The principle reason for
the interest taken in the new,
old idea, recently revived by
the board of education. is to create a
better class of spoilers in the grammer
grades of the county than has been
turned out the past, and the spelling
contest idea has been created for this
purpose alone.

SNOW STORM ONE. OF MOST
PECULIAR THAT FELL HERE

The condensation, of course, takes
place in the clouds and form rain.
Ordinarily 1T would be cold enough
to crystalize the water and form snow.
but the warm upper current prevented
this. and the precipitation took the
form of rain until it reached the lower

is responsible for the fact that the size
Of the pellets was not larger. The
wind split them into smaller pieces
and they fell in fairly uniform size
The formation of these little ice balls
is not unlike the formation of hail
