DE[VES IN
HISTORY
Famous Tolleston Gun Club
Preserves and Tragedies
of the Marsh Are Detailed
by Otto Borman, Then a
Boy, Who Witnessed Acts.

Not every member of the Lake
County club, formerly the old Tolles-
ton Gun club knows its bloody history
score of years ago the marshes and
sand dunes of Gary were the scene OF
many a pitched conflict between the
club watchmen and resident trappers.
Some of the old time history was told
last night by Otto Borman. president
of Lakewoods park who was boy liv-
ing in Tolleston and was an eye wit
ness of the exciting times of the early
nineties.
Rich Men start Trouble.
THE site of the Lake County Coun-
try club" said Mr.. Bormann, was the
site of the gun club. This club was
composed of a number of rich men
from Chicago and viNnity and they
maintained preserves there in the big
marshes where they built dams. and in
other ways kept the marshes fit
place for the breeding of wild ducks
and geese which they hunted
Ponching starts Trouble.
at it would naturally be supposed.
these preserves were looked upon with
some little greed by the people who
lived in the vicinity and poaching was
a very common thing. In order to pro-
tect the game, the members of the club
hired what were known DULLES to
watch the preserves, and their orders
were to shoot any one who was found
on the premises. The poachers got
holder and holder. and finally matters
came to a bloody head.
.'Al LOCKER, a young man, moved out
from Chicago and settled near the pre-
serves. He saw wild game there. and
he took his gun and went hunting
Two of the DULLES discovered him. and
they told him that If he ever set foot
on the preserves again, they would
shoot him In his tracks. LOCKER, who
was a crack shot and a man without
fear was not ready to fight at that time
but advised the DULLES that he would
meet them at any time and at any place
they might mention.

Driftwood which had collected against
the fiashboards extended up the river a
quarter of a mile above the power sta
ton in Vernon Sunday, and the water
In the lake was therefore drawn OFF to
give opportunity for clearing away the
accumula ton, After the boards were
cleared the driftwood was sent over the
dam. A fire engine was sent to the
Hinsdale side of the river Sunday after
noon to pump out the houseboat owned
by John Manley and DIR. Il, S. Bowen.
The boat had been tied close to the
shore and when the water went down 1t
was in the mud and tilted at an angle of
about As degrees. When the water rose
the boat remained in the mud and was
flooded, After about two hours OF
pumping the houseboat arose to the sur
face and was cleaned out.
That the Boston & Maine Railroad
company does not intend to build a rail-
road on the New Hampshire side OF the
river from South Vernon to Brattleboro
this fall Is apparent from the fact that
the quarters occupied by the engineering
corps in the Market building on Elliot
street the past summer have been given
up, The furniture was moved out Tues
day and the rooms were closed. 1t Is
understood that more OF the engineering
affairs will be conducted from the Boston
Office under a contemplated reorganiza =
ton. While many have been unable to
see why the company should pay over
s1OO, 900 for a right of way on the New
Hampshire side without intending to
build there, 1t has been the belief of
those In close touch with the railroad
situation that there was little likelihood
of the proposed line being. built on that
side of the river this year, If at all, and
the closing of the headquarters strength
. ems their opinion.

TRAIN DISPATCHERS MEET.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

OF arranging meeting places was turn
ed over to an employe especially desig-
mated for that undertaking. Thus was
patching. 1t is said that the first
railroad signal in the world was used
on the Newcastle and Frenchtown rail
road in Delaware in 1882
1t was sort of time-bali affair. AT
each station. which was visible from the
next station. there was large pole
erected, and with a pulley arrangement
large hoop and-canvas ball could ne
raised flag fashion When train started
from the terminus the ball on the termi-
nal pole was raised to the top of the pole
and those at the succeeding stations were
elevated to half staff. As the train left
each succeeding station the ball at the
station was raised to the top of the pole
In making timetable a schedule
board is used. This board is so ruled
as to show the distance between termi-
nails and the hours at which trains ought
to depart from one and arrive al the
other. system of strings and pins Is
used, the strings stretching from one
terminal to another. and the time is so
adjusted as to allow fast running por-
lions of the line where conditions are
favorable to good time. and a slow
schedule where traffic conditions, grades
and other considerations make fast time
impossible. The principal roads change
their schedules about twice a year. and
it costs one eastern road nearly $4,000
to print the timetables used by the op-
Grating force alone, to say nothing of the
other thousands of dollars expended for
the printing and distribution OF time
tables for the public.

SHIPPING OYSTER SHELLS.
Big Pile at Eleventh Street Wharf
RAPIDLY Disappearing.

The big pile Of oyster shells, repre-
senting many thousands of bushels of
bivalves that were shucked at the
18th street wharf market in the last
three months OF the season, is rapid
ly disappearing under the assaults of
Capt. Roam and his men. who are
loading them on lighters to be taken
to Alexandria to be crushed, at Bry-
ants mill, into chicken food. Already
dozen big scowloads Of the
shells have been taken to Alexandria
from the 18th street wharf. but a
small mountain of the shells still re-
mains in the rear of the fishhouses on
the lower side Of the pier, and ii will
take the greater part of the summer
to move the pile to the mill at Alex
andria. Formerly these shells were
sold to oyster men who shipped them
in vessels to the oyster producing sec
lions of the lower Potomac and had
them scattered over depleted oyster
beds to make the beds again produce
tive. but for the past two years the
bulk of the shells have gone to the
Alexandra mill to be made into an
egg producer.

SENATE TO CONSIDER
PUBLICITY MEASURE
House Bill, With Drastic
Amendment, FavorabIy Re-
ported by Committee.

The bill providing for publicity of
campaign contributions before cleo
tons. passed by the House. was yester-
day ordered favorably reported to the
Senate by the Senate committee on
privileges and elections. The Senate
committee. however, amended the bill
in primary elections, making 1T neces-
sary to publish the contributions be-
fore the primary elections take place.
The House bill covered only the actual
elections of representatives in Congress.
The committee also added an amendment
making the bill cover elections of senators
as we'll as representatives.
Under existing law publicity of cam
paign contributions is provided for, but
publication is made after the elections
have taken place. The present bill is the
result of considerable agitation through
out the country
Drastic Measure.
The bill as reported to the Senate will
be drastic. In a number of the south
ern states, died-in-the-wool democratic
states. the elections are settled at the
primaries. and the amendments offered
by the Senate committee will cover these
primaries.
When the bill was in the House there
was considerable opposition to the extern
sion of the provisions of the measure to
cover primary elections, and this opposi-
ton is also to be found among southern
democrats of the Senate However, 1t is
believed that this opposition will be less
strongly manifested from now on, and
that the bill when enacted into law will
cover primary elections.
The great variety OF primary election
laws in the states has made 1t diff
cult task to draft bill which will cover
all the conditions 1t is believed by the
majority members of the committee. how
ever, that this has been accomplished.
Provisions of the Bill.
The bill provides that the treasurer of
every political committee shall not more
than fifteen days and not less than ten days
next before an election at which senators
and representatives in Congress are to be
elected In two or more states. file in the
office of the secretary Of the Senate and
the clerk of the House of Representatives
at Washington, D. c.. an itemized detail
ed statement. and on each third day
thereafter until such election said treas
urer shall file a supplemental itemized de-
tailed statement.
Each statement shall be full and com
plete, and shall be signed and sworn to
by the treasurer.
II shall also be the duty of said treas
urer to file a similar statement within
thirty days after such election. The
statements SO filed shall be preserved by
him for fifteen months and shall be a
part of the public records of his Office
and shall be open to public inspection.
