Bugs Abroad in Gary.

A bartender employed in Bormann's
saloon, Tenth and Broadway, went into
Greek restaurant a few days ago. one
located on Tenth avenue, and ordered
three porkchops. When the victuals
arrived the gentleman of the bar found
three fried cockroaches adhering to
the pork and he declined to accept the
dish When he went to go out the
proprietor demanded payment. which
the customer refused. The host said
that pork was too high to be given
away, even though the little bugs got
mixed with it, 1t is understood that
the matter will come in Justice HUI
ber's court in a few days and the jur
list will have to render a decision.

Especial to THE TINES


Indianapolis, August 6.-James L.
Reach, the Potato King, and Demo-
cratic leader in Marion county. is in
revolt against Thomas Taggart. and
is making argument against Demo-
cratic campaign thunder. Mr. Reach,
moreover. is making a strong argu-
ment. In recent interview. printed in
an indianapolis paper, Mr.. Reach
serves notice that he is out of touch
with Democrats. and that he will not
abide by the dictates OF present Demo-
cratic leadership in Indiana.
Needless to say, the detection of Mr.
Reach is a serious blow to the Tag
CART machine in Marion county 1t
means Republican success in the coun-
ty, and in the Seventh district For
Mr.. Reach not only is in earnest in his
desire to preserve the present good
times, but he is active in opposing
calamitities wherever he finds them,
And Reach, when active, is a formida
BILE political factor.

platform; not since Democratic CON

LITTLE REALTY
ACTIVITY


There has been little activity in real
estate circles In Hammond this week.
A number of small sales have been
made by the leading real estate deal
ers of the city, but no deals of any
consequence have been reported.
1t is believed that the quiet market
is due to the fact that this is the dull
summer season and that this fall will
see a revival of interest in realty cir
cles.
number of scattered sales are re-
ported and few houses have been
sold, but outside of that there were no
transfers of Importance. Dave Love

to complete his own house on Waltham

To Start Theater.

Charles w. Van Sickle is planning to
start a five cent theater on Morton

has secured a good location there and
will at once commence the remodeling
of the room which he has rented. Van
Sickle is already the owner of a thea
ter on West State street which is prov
ing a paying investment. He believes
that a theater in East Hammond will
pay and he will have one in operation
there about the LIST of September.
