Some Time.

storm last night put the street cars on
the South Shore line out of commission n
for q couple of hours. and something
went wrong again after the service had
been restored, which resulted in snut-
ting down the power for several hours
this morning. The seat of the trouble
was at the Michigan City power house,
where the big machinery was de-
moralized.
During the evening the telephone
service was utterly demoralized for a
short while and the electric lights, both
on street and house circuits, were ex-
ringuished throughout the city. This
happened twice during the storm. A

when the city was plunged once more
into darkness. The lights were again
restored however after the wrost of the
storm had subsidized. and did not fail
again after that. A meeting of the
Civic League at the City Hall was
broken up when the lights went cut
but after they were restored the meet

larly loud crashes and brilliant cleo
trical flashes. served to frighten the
residents of the city, and a number Of
house holders thought their houses had
been struck. No damage was however
reported although the heavy showers
of the past few days have flooded many

KROGMAN VERDICT

cisions, Though.

Coroner E. NJ. Shanklin today gave
three verdicts in connection with three
sudden deaths in Hammond last week.
In the cases of Charles L. Flemming
and William G. Muir, the two Gibson
railroad men who were crushed be-
tween two cars. his verdict was that
they were killed accidentally, while the
sudden death of John Pleitner who
was found dead in his home in Clinton

the Erie railroad. just south of Ham

reached this week

nections with every railway in Lake
county.
The first of the small factories to
locate in the vicinity is the Gary Bolt
and Screw company. This industry
will be by no means a small one. but
relatively speaking 1t will be as it
will employ 1000 hands whereas the
corporations half dozen subsidiaries
will each give work from 5000 to a.
900 men.
Homes Needed First.
1t is said that not only have the
sites been set aside, but score of ap-
plications are already in for the land.
Only the lack of homes deters the steel
corporation from selling the land at
once. At the present time there are
not enough homes in Gary to take care
of the corporations own employees and
the admitting of new Industries would
only make matters worse.
