Man
IS BADLY INJURED
Alex Hazlett Falls From
scaffold at Chicago
Heights.
Especial to THE TINES J

Robertsdale, Ind, April 1S-People
of this place were shocked on Saturday
to learn of serious accident which be-
fell Alex Hazlett on Saturday.
Mr.. Hazlett, who is a boilermaker by
trade, had been working for the
Kennicott Co. at Chicago Heights,
while work was slack at the Standard
Oil Co. On Saturday he was working
on the new Inter Ocean plant. which is
being erected at Chicago Heights. when
a scaffold upon which eh was working
gave away, and he was thrown to the
ground. In the accident he had his
wrist broken, and two ribs broken. His
condition is very serious. for it is re-
ported that his ribs were pushed into
his lungs.
He was removed to the Hahnemanu
hospital in Chicago where he is now
confined.
Much sympathy is felt for the family
for they have been having considerable
bad luck this winter. their little son
Wesley. having been suffering for sew
eral weeks with pneumonia.
The Hazletts are old residents o1
RoBertsdale where both Mr.. and Mrs
Hazlett were raised, and owing to theil
popularity the news of the accident
spread rapidly.

new Taper block has begun. The Sec
ond story of the old building is being
rapidly torn out and will soon be ready

build a $4,000 residence on her Hob
man street frontage at the corner of
Highland and Holman streets. next
spring. 1t will be remembered that

Euclid avenue of Hammond. Mrs.
Huehn purchased her lot from the
South Homewood addition syndicate
and has seventy five feet of frontage

EAST CHICAGO FILES
ITS REMOhSTRA
Thirty Eight Hundred Votes
Secured Protesting
Annexation.
THE VOTE is OVERWHELMING
Four Annexation Matters Are Now
Filed In The Lake County
Courts.
The VOTE is OVERWHELMING

The city of East Chicago filed its
remonstrance against the annexation of
that city by Gary in the Lake circuit
court at Crown Point today. A num-
ber OF the signatures which might have
been questioned were stricken from
the remonsrtance. This left in the
reighborhood of $500 signatures which
Is away above the two-thirds required
and is nearly equal to the vote that
was cast at the last election.
1t will thus be seen that overwhelm-
ing remonstrances have been secured
against the annexation of Whiting by
East Chicago, against the anexation of
Hamn ond by East Chicago and against
the annexation of East Chicago by
Other less important anexaticn mat
ters TO come up In the courts and in
which remonstrances were secured is
the annexation of Miller by the city of
Gary and the annexation of TOlleston
by the city of Gary.
Five Matters in Courts.
That makes it apparent that there
are FIVE annexation matters now in the
courts, and when Hammond files its
remonstrance against annexation by
| Gary there will be six annexation mat
ters up for adjudication in the courts.
! The only case in which there is be-

of Tolleston by Gary.

1t is understood that the annexation

OF THE
CASES TO COME
UP TO-DAY

The first of the Lake county annex
alton cases to come up will be the op
position of the town of Tolieston to
annexation by the city of Gary, which
will be tried in the Lake superior court
this afternoon at 1880 p. m.
The attorneys representing both sides
will be on hand and Hodges & Ridgley,
who are representing tht Toleston re-
monstrators expect to make out a case
against Gary.
The outcome of this case will be Of
interest in view of the fact that the
procedure in this case will have to be
followed by all of the other towns and
cities in the region which are oppos-
ing annexation by neighboring cities.
1t is expected that Tolleston will at
tempt to show that it will not be to
the interests of that town to be an
nexed to Gary and further that it will
be positive injury to the residents
of that locality to tie up with the new
steel city at this time.

GARY MAN
CAN'T GET
HIS COSTS

A restraining order was issued from
the Lake Superior court by Judge Vir-
gil S. Reiter this morning restraining
Eliza beth Haley and Frank d. Prest,
Hammond justice of the peace. from
paying over $32 and costs, amounting
to a total of $41.o5.
The action was brought by Samuel
Rynerson of Gary. who is a switchman
employed by the Elgin, Joliet g. East
ern railroad. Mrs. Elizabeth Haley is
a boarding house keeper and she claim
ed that Rynerson owed her board bill
of s32.
She brought proceedings in Judge
Prest's court to garnishee the wages
of Rynerson to recover the amount
which she claimed is due. Judgment
was rendered in Judge Prest's court
and costs amounted to s41-05.
1t is claimed in the petition for a re-
straining order that this Judgment was
secured Illegally, in view of the fact
that Judge Prest does not have juris-
diction outside of North township and
that he had no right TO summon a de-
fendant from Gary. The action was
brought for the purpose of preventing
Judge Prest from paying over the
amount of the Judgment, which had
been secured from the railroad, to Mrs
Haley.

SITUATION rs
UNCHANGED

While the relation between the Chi
cago Telephone company and electri-
cal workers union, local $50. remains
unchanged on the labor question, there
was nothing apparent today that would
tend to show different status in a
few days.
1t IS understood that committee OF
those interested as telephone subscrib-
ers in the new Taper building will go
before the central labor bodies who
have voted their moral support to the
$50 men and address them upon the
question. and point out the hardship
that is being worked on an innocent
public just because there is a misunder-
standing between the telephone compa-
ny and certain linemen.
