Many Candidates for Offices
of Justices of Peace and
Constables.
THOSE Who ARE RUNNING
More Excitement Promised For the
Township Than For County
Convention.

With the North township primaries
on the sixth OF May and the convention
on the seventh the interest in town
ship politics is growing stronger ev-
cry day. There is no doubt that there
will be a good1y lot of candidate to
elect from and the party leaders are
hopeful that from the list good clean
lot of men will be selected.
There are three candidates for the
Office of jutice of the peace from Ham
mond and each office has constable
who will come up for denomination.
Justice Frank d. Prest will make the
race again and Charles Merryweather.
from his office will make the race for
constable. Edward p. Ames will also
be in the race again and Julius Taus-
sig will run for contable. Hugo F.
Kaske of Munster will make the race
from that town. In view of the fact
that justices of the peace have juris-
diction over the entire township, Kaske
holds forth at the Standard Steel Car
district and John Huber, from his office,
fCsOntfnued on Pare Eight.)

FIREBUGS

No Fewer Than Thirty Fires

Indiana Harbor, April 23.-Thirty
fires have occurred here in a few
months and apparently not alarmed
by the activity of the police and of
the fire department in bringing to
justice two fire bugs, or men who are
suspected of being entitled to the
appellation, the industry of the busy
bug has not abated.
Early this morning another in
cendiary fire occurred, in connection
with which one arrest has already
been made and anothe ris impending.
The fire was in the saloon of ePte

times, has been mentioned for the

race B. c. Moon of Kokomo is the
only other avowed candidate, and he
is said to have only a following in
his own county.
To all appearances A. F. Knots
chances of getting the democratic
nomination appear to be pretty slim.
and he is now looked upon as a man
without party. The man who will
finally be prevailed upon to make
the race is Attorney John B. Peter
son of Crown Point.
To all appearances Lake county,
which has hitherto been neglected by
the democrats. is to be made the bat
tleground of the coming campaign.
The democrats over the state realize
that number of the offices on the
state ticket were lost through the
poor management of the party in
Lake county They are not going to
let that happen again. and further
more they hav decided to give Lake
county place on the state ticket.
which they estimate will be worth
a great many votes to them in the
coming campaign.

Late Judge Booths win probated.

The will of the late ]. o. Booth was
probated last Saturday. The entire
property was left to the wife during
her life time and after her death to
be equally divided between the three
children and their natural heirs.
Robert Booth and R. A. Booth, broth
ers Of the deceased, and ]. M. Hook
EFT, a brother-in-law, are appointed
executors without bonds. The will
was made on December 16, 1890
James c. Morse, j. c. Campbell and
C. X. Chandler are witnesses. The
estate is very valuable. Some Of 1t
is located in Portland, considerable
amount in Seattle, some in Douglas
county, and quite an amount in
Grants Pass. The real value OF the
property is hard to estimate, but
from the best information we can get
1t runs somewhere between $3.50, 900
and 100000.
The will would have been probated
before but the heirs expected to find
later one. 1t will be noticed that
the will is dated more than 19 years
ago.

fact that Miss Doran did not lose her
thumb entirely Is due only TO the
dullness Of the hatchet.
