Tonight the first political activity of
the coming campaign will be seen in the
selection of delegates to the republi-

GORMAN
ROAD To
Be DONE

After being on trial in the Lake supe
rior court for four days the German
road case from North township was
finally wished yesterday when the jury
returned a verdict for two of the ap
pealants. William Diedelow was
awarded $500 damages and William
Hartman was awarded s25 damages.
The case was holly contested and the
cost of the trial must have been equal
to the total amount of the damages
awarded. The jurors went out and
viewed the property, that they could
determine for themselves just what
the damages should be.
The awarding of the damages re-
moves the last obstacle to the building
of the road.

MYSTERY
IN COKEES
FLIGHT

An air of deepest mystery surrounds
the strange disappearance of a Gary
man by the name of Alfred Cokel, and
the local police have been asked to as
sist in finding some trace of him
Cokel formerly lived at 1913 Wash
ington street and was employed In the
local steel mills. About three weeks
ago he left his boarding house dressed
in his working clothes, and with his
bucket. and since that time nothing
has been seen or heard of him. His
friends have made many inquiries about
him, and thought that he would return
each day, but when after three weeks
he failed to put in his appearance. they
became alarmed and notified the police
Cokel is single and is about &c years
old He is a French Canadian by birth.
and has been in Gary about fur
months. The police of the surrounding
towns have been asked to assist IN
locating him.

which occasioned considerable surprise,
the race started almost Immediately for
the vacated Office by two of Gary's at
torneys. These are Joseph ellis and
Clyde Hunter. Both men were busy to-
day going over the city, building up
their fences for the fight.
ellis, who has been consistent re-
publican and one of the most popular
young men in the city, was accredited
with being the first one to make the an
nouncement and he lost no time this
morning in starting an active campaign.
He feels that the young lawyers are en-
titled to the office, not only because of
the fact that they would be in posi-
ton to devote more of their time to the
work, but because the young men of the
city are entitled to recognition by some
public office.
Clyde Hunter, though young man
also, has been regarded as one of the
wild horses of the republican party in
the city and has been one of its most
ardent workers. 1t is said that Hunter
had been partially promised the office
of city attorney by some OF the political
powers during the last election in case
the republicans are successful. He is
also said to be working hard this morn
ing.
1t is not expected that the appoint
ment will be made by Prosecutor
Charles Greenwald for the present
owing to the fact that he is too deep in
politics at the present time to give the
matter much attention. It is probable
hat Attorney Hodges will be induced to
keep on with the work for a few days
at least before his successor is selected.
