CROWN PT.
Big Acreage to Be Taken
Into Corporation Touch
ing Proposed Street Car
Line; Beautiful Park Is
in Prospect.

Crown Point, inu., March 26.-The
staid and classic county seat of Lake
county has the annexitis and has 1t
badly.
Leading Crown Point business and
professional men believe that the only
way to curve it is to take in u goodly
bit of acreage extending to ne road
running east and west. south of the
fair grounds.
Options have been received on the
tract of land just north of the fair
grounds, consisting of forty acres OF
timber, owned by a Logansport syn
dieate, and it will be put on the market
as soon as the deal is closed.
The town board is considering the
proposition of taking in the fair
ground acreage tract, just north of the
Logansport syndicate,s land THIS will
extend the corporation line nearly half
a mile.
Many leading Crown Point men want
to see the whole tract turned into q
park and there would be none prettier
anywhere. A street car franchise has
already been granted for line to the
south side of the fair grounds. and
cement walks will be laid to that point.
The spirit of annexation extension
and improve enlent. which is sweeping
over Lake county. has touched county
seat pride to the core and a new and
more beautiful Crown Point will un-
doubtedly result

that vicinity. The firemen were called
and responded in short order. but OF.
account of the combustfble nature of
the hay, the blaze was stubborn one
to fight, and two hours was consumed
before the fire was gotten under con-
troll.
Most of the hay was badly damaged
by fire and water ana it is doubtful If
any of it can be used for feeding pur-
poses. The loss to the Schroeder con-
cern is considerable, estimated at s3.500.
This makes the third fire for this
business concern. large elevator being
burned several years ago, and another
hay barn and its contents was destroyed
a few years previous to this.
The firemen, working against heavy
odds, are to be congratulated in the
manner in which the blaze was gotten
under control, more than two-thirds of
the bales of hay being saved, but in a
burned and water-soalSed condition

that the writ of supersedeas in the
case of the Northern Indiana Gas &
Electric company VS.. the city of Ham

No date for this hearing has been set
It IS not known when the court will

or two, and it may be several months
It may be years.
In the meantime the writ prevents
the city from doing anything in the
way of granting a new lighting con-
tract until the matter is settled.
The case was appealed to the su-
preme court following an adverse de-
cision in Judge Bakers federal court
at Goshen. 1t is the latest develop
ment in the fight that has been waged
between the city of Hammond and the
Northern Indiana Gas and Electric Co

GREAT COP
Dan Healey, Aged II, Comes
in Contact With a New
Kind of Detective.

Twentieth century civilization, the
Golden Rule and the teachings of the
brotherhood of man were given a
severe setback last night by an Erie
railroad officer, who, laying aside all
feelings of humanity, arrested a
beardless youth with a broken arm
and made him spend the night in
Jail because the young fellow wanted
to go back to his mother in order that
she might nurse him.
The name of the Erie detective is
McMurray. Whether it was by such
continued coarse work or not, at any
rate his company has given him the
title of lieutenant. 1t might be inter-
esting to learn whether the Erie rail-
road is really soulless corporation
that would condone such conduct by
one OF its underlings.

DR.. Bell Won't Run.

In a final forlorn effort on the part of
a number of Gary republicans to secure
some one to make the race for state
senator against Frank Gavit, they went
to the bedside of DR. T. E. Bell of Ham
mond and tried their best to induce him
to make the race.
DR.. Bell. who Is not yet able to leave
his bed. informed his visitors that 1t is
entirely out of the question for him to
think of making the race. His health
alone was a sufficient reason for hsm
to decline to accept the support of his
Gary friends This leaves the field to
Frank Gavit. and it is understood that
the Gary men now realize the futility Of
securing any other candidate to make
the race.

But There is no Truth

One of the widest and wooliest
stories that ever was circulated in
Hammond and which is now found
to have gained general circulation in
the cities around Hammond is that
the state line has been discovered to
be 500 or 600 feet east Of the place
where it is generally supposed to be.
The story has been told and retold
in Hammond In all seriousness. Sew
