July 81, beginning at 10 a. m
Two subjects are TO be considered
First, general appropriations Tor the

gress not having fixed the basis OF

Under the privilege it has been
predicted that he would undoubtedly
recommend that the legislature take
action with reference to the social
clubs of the state He objects TO

PRECAUTIONS
AGAINST DOGS
Especial to THE TIMES. J

Crown Point. Ind, June 27.-Crown
Point residents who value their pet
dogs are taking particular care of them
during the hot weather, since the agi-
tation against allowing them to run at
large was started. One good way to
avoid the necessity of a muzzle is to
keep your pet dog tied up at home,
with plenty of cold water and access to
a cool place. With these directions
followed out there Is little danger from
a dogs attack, but the safest way is
to resort to the muzzle during the hot
test days. The town authorities should
see to 1t that all homeless and owner
less dogs should either be muzzled or
disposed of in the most humane manner
possible The necessary precautions
taken in time may be the means Of
avoiding all the terrible consequences
and suits from a mad dogs attack.

HURT PICNIC
Especial to THE TIMES. }

Indiana Harbor, June 27-Two Incl
dents combiped to put a damper on the
festivities of the odd Fellows at the
picnic given by the Indiana Harbor
lodge at Hudson Lake. One was the
wea Their and the other was a fact that
a man was drowned in the lake near
where they were encamped. The man
drowned was not, however, one of their
number, being c. p. World of South
Bend. He was out the lake in a
boat and leaned over in the act of
drinking from a bottle, when he lost
his balance and fell over the side of
the boat. He was some distance from
the shore and 1t was impossible to save
him.
AS for the weather. threatening as
it had been continuously from the day
before. il did not prevent over 500 loyal
Odd Fellows, their families and friends
from taking a chance on 1t. It rained
almost necessarily all day. the longest
intermission being of about a half
hours duration. But the picnickers
managed TO keep under cover in the
pavilion most of the time.
They were determined to let moth

did. and they kept surprisingly wood

discomforts.
