Constable julius Taussig took pos
session of the Orpheum theatre this
afternoon shortly after 10 o'clock. and
refuses to permit Lessee James Wing
field to stage any more OF his book
ings until some back rent is paid.
William Fl. Gostlin. one of the own
ers of the theatre. said that he had
given the lessee notice that he would
have to pay up his, rent or loose posses
sion OF the house.
He claims that he has sent repeated
notices to Wingaeld and that no fur
ther payments have been made. He
feels that q business proposition
he was justified in the action he has
taken
Attorney James X. Stinson. who rep
resents Wingfield, gave out a state
ment today in which he said. 1T is true
that Lessee Wingfseld is in arrears In
his rent. This is due to the fact that
the theatrical business has not been
good for the past two years and also
to the fact that in the summer months
a theatre is always dead loss to the
lessee.
Theatres all over the country are in
arrears in their rent at this time of
the year, but they usually manage to
get square with the lessor before the
holiday season
Mr.. Stinson went on to say that he
did not know what would be the out
come OF the present tangle. He said
that he expected to hear from Wing
field before evening and that It is
possible arrangements would be made
to pay the rent. He intimated. how
ever, that Wingfeld was very much
put out at the turn affairs had taken
and that it is possible that he will
throw up his lease.
Manager St Clair is. of course, mere
Fly acting as the manager OF the house
and has nothing 10 do with the pay
ment Of the. rent He stated, how
ever. that in the event the house i
closed under the present circuna-
stances that rome but independent
1essees could take over the lease ans
| that. it would mean that Hammont
would no longer get the high grade

News Is Confirmed
The news that the land has been
purchased was confirmed by General
superintendent J. z. Dickson of the
Chicago offices of the road. 1t is ex-
Epected that a public announcement of
the purchase and the details of the
plan TO enlarge the yard facilities. OF

he made public from the New York Of
fices of the road by its president with
in the next few days.
1t is not knowp who were the agents
who negotiated the deal for the reason
that extreme pains were taken by them
TO keep the matter quiet It is hinted.
however. that the deal was negotiated
by Crown Point men with the aid OF
Hammond real estate men.
Mystery Is Clear.
It is known that Charles Daugherty
and Frank Meeker, together with a
number OF associates. have purchased
a large amount of acreage north of
Crown Point, but they never made
statement as to what was their pbr-
pose in buying the property. and the
deal has been involved in more or less
mystery ever since it was purchased
1t mas Deen Known .lcl some SiH4c
that the Erie yards in Hammond are
too small to accommodate the business.
| The yards only have capacity of l.
! zoo cars. and it is said that twice the
J capacity is needed. Some time back
negotiations were opened for the rur-
chase of the Kniekerbocker farm souts,
of Hammond for yard purposes, but
the deal fell through
Buys 500 Acres.
The fact was recently announced
that the Erie railroad had purchased
land in the vicinity of Highlands for
the purpose of building a coal storage
, warehouse that was eventually to take
the place of the ones in hammond
This fact, together with the develop
meat that the railroad has purchased
$50 acres OF land north OF crown Point.
leads unouestionahly to the belief that
the Erie railorad officials have decided
to abandon the Hammond Yards. shops
and coal storage warehouses.
Growth Probable.
I. This will mean the loss to the city
OF an important industry. but the fact
Hammond will be able to have a large

Mar Patterson Takes Interest in Leaven.
worth Furniture and Hardware Co.

Mar Patterson, who has been contin-
uously connected with various Leaven-
worth mercantile houses for the past
eight years as salesman, has decided to
go into business for himself and has
bought an interest in the Leavenworth
Furniture and Hardware Company, one
of our solid and prosperous establish
ments, and will have charge of the
hardware end of the business, a branch
with which his long experience has
made him familiar.
Mr.. Patterson worked short time
for the Leavenworth Mercantile Com
pany, and quit that position to take
employment with the King Company,
which firm he served for about three
years. When that concern went out
of business Mr.. Patterson went with the
Moore Company, and when that COM
pany was merged with the LID. Store
Company he continued to hold down
the hardware end until that company
disposed of its business to the present
proprietors OF the Mutual Mercantile
Company last fall, and resigned his place
with the Mutual company on the 18th
Of this month to join forces with the
company above named.
Perhaps no man in Leavenworth has
a wider acquaintance or larger circle
of friends. He is obliging, courteous
and square, the three most important
qualifications necessary for the success
full business man. He will be a most
valuable addition to the firm he joins.
Mr.. Patterson left for Portland last
Tuesday. After visiting friends and
attending to some business at his old
home in Oregon he will return March
to assume his new position as man.
