DICK MUCH HAS
GROWN NO LESS
Gary Council Instructs City
Attorney to Dismiss SUI
preme Court Action.

Doughty old Richard Much, the
Prince of Clark road. is giving the
United States Steel corporation it's
moneys worth in its efforts to GUST
him from the few acres he holds. His
tract is entirely surrounded by corpora
tion property and until Much vacates
the land the lake end of Clark road will
have to be kept opened up which will
mean that the steel corporation will
be seriously delayed In its work of
extending the big s35.o00-car capacity
railroad yards.
Council Aids Him.
Last night by vote of four to two
the Gary common council voted to in
struct the city attorney to have the
suit of the City~of Gary VS.. Much dis
missed from the supreme court. Some
years ago Much won the suit in the
circuit court and then a tax payer in
the name of the city appealed it to the
upper court where 1t now stands. The
effect of the dismissal will be that
Much will retain his land for the time
being or until new custer action is
brought against him.
Knots Disagree Here.
Last night Alderman Rowley and
Feuer voted against the resolution
while Aldermen Gfson SimfaSko, Sly
manski and Baukus voted for 1t. A. F.
Knots of Hammond, attorney for
Much, was present at the council meet
ing. Mayor T. E. Knots opposes Much
Originally it is said that Much paid
Sc 900 for the acres and building and
that the steel company will buy him
out at $4,000. 1t is said that he wants
$40, 600. His land is located along the
each and is very popular as a fishing
and bathing resort. Until he moves
Clark road will have to be opened
through the vast maze of railway
tracks.
Much Is Fighter.
Much's few acres are not in Gary and
they constitute a principaiity entirely
surrounded by Gary hut not under it's
Jurisdiction. Three years ago a pomp-
Gus sergeant of the Gary police depart
ment marched a squad up to Much's
dominions and proceeded to give him
orders. The prince responded by
throwing the sergeant out of the win
dow and then ordered his squad to step
out of the principality into the city of
Gary. And they did.

Councilman Thomas Dugan lead the
session in favor of giving the contract
to w. F. Brunt, and Councilman Pask-
witt also appeared to be in favor of
the Hammond contractor. Councilman
Burton did not commit himself, but
Buszkowski went on record against
taking the contract away from David
son as long as he was the lowest bidder.
The principal argument against
Davidson was an allegation that the
work could not be done in first class
order at his figure. He was also crit
icsed for the Indiana oulevard paw
ing, a contract let to him by the county
Mr.. Davidson said today: II don't
see why the councilmen would want to
give the contract to higher idder
when I can give bonds to do salts

on the Indiana boulevard. Wen, 1 have

COMSTOCK, NAME
OF new HOTEL
COMMERCIAL CLUB HAS RE-
ouEsTED NORTHWESTERN MI.
TuAL INVESTMENT CO. TO
NAME NEW HOTEL coMsTock,
EXTENSION ENDORSED.

Two important matters were con-
sidered at a special meeting or the
Moorhead Commercial club held last
night and proper action was taken on
both OF them.
One was the selection OF q name for
the fireproof hotel building which is
in course of construction by the North
western Mutual Investment Co. Of
Fargo. AS announced In this depart
ment two days ago 1t appeared that
the name, The Comstock not only
looked good to the bushes. men OF
the city and citizens In general, but
II was perfectly acceptable to the con-
structing company and to John T. Ma
honey the lessee and manager.
Following number of short adj
dresses on the naming Of the hotel,
which principally tributes to the Hon.
g. g. Comstock and recognitions of
public services that gentleman had
performed for the city, and the ex-
preston of the hope that Mr. Comstock
would not be averse to the use Of his
name for the new hotel, In which he
has so much interest and an important
factor in establishing the enterprise,
the club unanimously decided to rec
commend that the builders adopt that
name for the hotel. 1t was the desire
of everybody interested that the hotel
be given a distinctive name and at the
same time q name appropriate and
uncommon.
Trolley Lines to DiIworth.
Then the matter OF the proposed ex-
tension OF the Moorhead loops of the
Fargo and Moorhead Street Railway
Co. to Dilworth was taken up. Fol-
lowing its introduction by L. A. Hun
toon, the president, the members Of
the club were briefly addressed by
s. @. Comstock, who said in substance
that he was strongly in favor Of any
move which will lead to greater com
mercial activity In the Red river val
ley and he believed the extension of
the street railway is along the right
lines and 1t ought to be encouraged.
Moorheads pushing out must be to-
wards the east, the city had gone
as for west as 1t could.
Leslie Welter moved that the club
go on record as being favorable to
the granting OF a reasonable extension
Of franchise or whatever rights and
privileges the constructing company
may require. The motion was carried
A committee of Ave
headed by Mr.. Comstock, was appoint
ed TO confer with the Fargo club, then
in session, and advise the latter OF the
action OF the club.

GIRL SCARED
OUT OF WITS

Darlington, NJ. D.. Oct. ia young
lady whose name is Sauther, came In
of the branch from McCluslxy, being
on her way to her home at Anamoose
Whether physically Ill, or confused
mentally, or both. Is q question.
She went TO the Kirkwood. left her
grip and wraps, including her hat, but
the activities of big hosiery were too
much for her, and she wandered out
onto the street, minus even her hat
She was taken In hand by kindly la
dies, but no amount Of persuasion
would induce her to even return to
the hotel for her belongings or to pay
her bill.
She did not claim that any unpIeas-
ant incident was responsible for her
actions, but was Just AFRAID to mingie
with so many people. She was taken
TO the west bound 500 about ii and
absolutely insisted on one of the Car
rtngton ladies who had befriended her
going to Anamoose with her, but when
on the train she was placed with
other parties bound for Anamoose and
after the train was in motion consent
ed to the Darlington lady leaving
her.
She was in rather pitiful condition.
and her case was indeed most pecu-
liar one. The excitement OF travel and
the change from home seemed to be
too much for her mental poise. She
was literally frightened out Of all
reason, but did not claim that she
had been mistreated in any manner.
She claimed to be a school teacher
and possessed q a high school educa-

LATER FAIR DATES.

Bowdon. N. D.. Oct. ITO The Fo-
rum: Just word to express my APP
probation and approval OF your edi-
torial of Oct. II, referring to slater
fair date" wish. as practical stock
man, to particularly commend this
point. AS possible exhibitor there
is everything in favor OF such later
date. The month OF October and even
November, the early part, are noted.
as you say, for nice weather. We
usually have an indian summer period
that 10 ideal fair weather. Thissis also
the time OF the year the average farm
er who is not a financier, In that he Ia
having money readily at hand all the
year around, would be able and appre-
ciate little vacation, as against the
usual time OF our fair when they are
at the tail-end OF the pocketbook
But II applies equally as well to the
exhibitor Of stock who may also be In
the same class. TO show In July he
has to overcome the very apt condi-
ton of shortage of feed during the
spring months. Whereas now his
stock has had the advantage OF all
summers pasture and the plentiful
feed of later summer when grains and
roots are abundant, to use to At his
stock at the least expense.
There are so many reasons and adj
vantages that should encourage a bet
ter fair FOR q later date and particu-
larry October that they are too nurn~
erous to mention.
Let this state get down 70 common
sense and hold their fair every year
at Fargo. that Is the natural place Tor
II. Any one that ships stock TO Grand
Forks can do 80 without transfer TO
Fargo. but can not as eaaily 10 to
Grand Forks az he would to Fargo
from other points.
Personally can not see what bene-
fit Grand Forks gets out DC thus keep
