ST. JOHN TO It
Petition for Election Is Now
Filed With the County
Officers.
Especial to THE TIMEs)

Crown Point, August S--The pro-
posed incorporation of Scherervifle for
which petition was presented to the
board of county commissioners yester-
day will contain eight square miles of
territory according to the plan that has
ben filed with the county auditor. 1t
was expected today that the commits
sioners would order an election to be
held one day in the week beginning
August goth.
The territory in the proposed in
corporation comprises sections four.
five. eight seventeen. nine, ten, sixteen
and fifteen. BY this arrangement
Hartsdale with its valuable railroad
property comes within the corporation.
1t was because of this valuable prop
erty which Griffith tried to annex, that
the movement for Incorporation was
begun in Schererville. There is said to
be little opposition to the town gov
ernment and the proba biIities are that
when the election is held the latter
part of this month that it will carry
by a safe majority.

ELKS FIND ALLEN
TOLD TRUE STORY
Lodge Will Assist Hatless
and Coatless Stranger
Held by Police.

Upon investigation of the character
of Charles Diedrich Allen who was ar
rested at the Erie depot by officer Malo
Sunday it was found out that he is
member of an Elks lodge in Michigan,
highly respected and in good standing
with that order
Allen was first arrested when he was
found wandering hatless and coatless
in front of the Erie depot by officer
Malo. Acting peculiarly and showing
signs of insanity he was brought to the
police station. Word has been received
whereby some of his friends will place
him in a hospital until sufficiently re-
covered for his release
Allen tells a story to the effect that
he was going to West Baden and had a
ticket for that place when he was put
off the train at Hammond Here he
found himself without funds and un-
able to get any money he sold his hat
and coat. When he left Chicago he
also had. two grips which he also
claims are missing. His suit case will
be telegraphed for and the railroad
ticket will a be located, so the local
authorities will be able to send him
down to West Baden whence he was
headed.
Allen has all the appearance of a
business man and is very smart and
witty.

H. WEIS
GETS KO[B
DRUG STORE

Bidding $4,000 more than the next
highest bidder; Harry Weis last night
purchased the stock of the Kolb drug
store and today took possession
There were only two other bidders
William c. Norris bid $3.50 and Vern
Summers bid $1,000. weis bid was
ss.5oo. weis said today that he was
prepared TO go even higher if it was
necessary.
The state street druggist is now the
owner of two stores and expects to run
them both. The East State street store
is overstocked while the Holman street
store is under stocked. SO there will
be enough stock for both stores
The State street location is not as de-
sirable as Weis thought it ought to be
and this accounts for his anxiety to get
the Kolb place. He does not buy the
lease on the Kolb store but claims to
have made satisfactory arrangements
with Anton T. Taper for the renting
of the store.
The lease will not permit the new
owner to put in soda fountain but
Weis said today that he did not care to
bother with that

Money flowed from the treasury of

to be to spend all of the money that it

ing a special election.
Two Trustees BlameIess.
In justice to Paul Kamaradt and
John Giczewski it should be stated that
they were not present at the meeting
owing to the fact that they had not re-
ceived the proper notification
Those who were responsible for the
actions last evening are. Henry Fritche.
Henry c. Peters. John Murray and
Joseph Okray. The faithlessness OF
two of these trustees to their trust may
be shown by the fact that John Murray
and Joseph Okray signed the petition
asking that the city election be called
and then proceeded, by their vote in
the board meeting, to make 1T inns
possible to hold the election until next
October.
Paul Kamaradt and John Giczewski
must be relieved of this responsibility
for the reason that they were not prop
erly notified and could not be present
at the meeting to uphold their action
in also signing the petition.

ton met last evening to denounce the
action of Fritche. Peters, Murray and

In the eyes of the people of West
Hammond the village board has proven
itself entirely unworthy of the public
confidence. 1t has been thoroughly dis
credited in the public estimation by its
action last Saturday in adjourning un-
til Oct. 1, to avoid setting the date for
the city election, is condemned on all
sides.
The members of the board were too
small to put aside personal considera-
tions IN the interests of the city. Con-
seque&ly they resorted to the cheap
est trick Imaginable to prevent their
retirement from office.
Without a word of warning they
passed a resolution adjourning until
Oct. /. This step was taken to prevent
them from being inundated to set the
date for the city election.
Not only did they vote for two
months vacation but they voted them
selves two months pay in advance and
then voted to pay Judge Frank Green
$50 a month to look after the business
that they propose to wilfully neglect
during the next two months.

Everything that was done at the

city of West Hammond to Dolton.
The contract for this work was let
