Gary Court Fight; Proctor

The Cary Hammond court fight has

The fight between the cities of Gary

Holman 81.
SEWER IS
CLEANED

John F. Kuhlman. street commission
er, has Just completed the big job of
cleaning the Holman street sewer. The
and cost $3.50.
This is the first time that the sew
er. which is four feet in diameter. has
been cleaned in the twelve years that
it has stood and 1t is probable that 1t
will stand much longer before it will
have to be cleaned again. The district
cleaned extended from Clinton street
to the Calumet river. An average
depth of sand of eighteen inches was
found in the sewer and n same places
the sand was two feet deep.
Much of the cause for the condition
just remedied was found in hidden
dams which had been left by the con-
tractors at the time the sewer was
built These dams prevented the flow
of the sand and We're not discovered
until John Kuhlman put his street
cleaners to work The dams were orig
backing up while the sewer was under
construction. but in the course of time
prevented the sand to flow freely. This
is matter that is remedied for the fu-
ture
The process of cleaning the sewer is
of necessity slow one. It is found to
be superior. however, to the one that is
in use in many other cities. The ma
chine used for the cleaning of the sew
ers is one that was invented and
patented by John Kuhlman. 1t is being
successfully used in other cities.

FATALITIES IN 1911.

years old. at $50 o'clock this morning
following his injuries in a peculiar ac-
cident in the rear of the Derby theater

Young Walsh was employed by the
Gary Coal company as teamster. He
was assigned to deliver a consignment
of coal to the Derby theater. and 1t was
in the alley in the rear of the playhouse
that he met with the injuries that
caused his death.
1t appears that the wagon in making
a curved turn Titled to one side To
save 1T from topping over Walsh and
another man tried to support 1t and
shove it back to lis original position.
However, the load was too great and
the big bulk crashed down on the un-
fortunate man. crushing his hips. He
was removed to the Mercy hospital,
where he passed away.
The unfortunate young man lived at
the coal company's yards. He was
identified with the Roman Catholic
church. 1t is probable that the team

rangements. The body will be shipped

GET THEIR
PLANS READY

That the Indiana Association of
Councilmen is determined to fight the
mayors combine of the state to fin
ish is shown by the fact that every
member of the association has been
asked to go to Indianapolis and stay
as long as his finances will permit.
It is hoped that a large majority of
the councilmen VIII be able to remain
in Indianapolis at least fifteen days.
During this time it is believed that
enough of a sentiment in favor of linn
iting the power of the mayor be
aroused to make "A deep impression on
the legislature.
In Lake county there are three rev.
oiutions against the mayors of as many
cities. Two are against democratic
mayors and one is against repub-
lican mayor. These revolutions are the
result of the excessive power that has
been given to the mayors of cities and
which the councilnen hope to limit.
President Henry Whitaker and Sec
retary Conrad Markmueller will go to
Indianapolis tonight to marshal their
forces. meeting is scheduled for
