10 MILE RACE
WILL BE RUN
Liungstrem, Queal and
Rainss on Monday Night.

Articles of agreement have been
signed for a big ten-mile running
race to be held In tho Auditorium
Monday night between Ltungstrom,
Queal and Raines. A match with
these celebrities contesting has been
urged for months past. There will
be several preliminary races.
With three entered it ia
hardly possible to have a discourag-
ing end such as occurred at the last
race between Raines and Sullivan,
when the Woodbridger became i'll.
A three-cornered match almost al
ways makes a good race. Some live
ly sprinting should be seen in thia
one.

Incidents The defense was represented

ed. He spoke of the murder as a cold

that has been made out against Davis.
Davis attorney tried to plead for TIE

was that he is probably insane.

was DR.. Spence c. Dickerson.

BOARD
MUST CALL
ELECTION

Another body blow was administered
the discredited and obstreperous VII
lage board of West Hammond this
morning when Judge Carnes of the
Cook county circuit court inundated the
board to call an election forthwith for
the purpose of electing city officials
To attempt further TO defy the
wishes of the West Hammond voters
and taxpayers by delaying the cleo
ton means a Jerking up for contempt
of court, and at last the mis-governed
people of West Hammond are begin
ming to see daylight after having
fioundered around for years in the po-
htical slime.
Only last week the taxpayers secured
an Injunction against the trageous
Interstate Electrical company and the
board who were trying TO foist hold
up franchise upon the village.
Burthe political pirates and pillag-
ers are not ready to be separated from
the good thing they had these many
years without a fight to the last This
is evidenced by the most recent act of
the village board, which last Friday
voted to pay out of the city treasury
the law firm of Atwood, Pease & Loucks
to defend the board in the mandamus
proceeding for its in-eXcusable delay
in calling the city election. The de-
cision of the court this morning has
clearly shown the board to be in the
wrong and the taxpayers do not pro-
pose to be held up for the legal fee to
protect the board. Ignatz Mankowski
the village clerk. who is with the tax
payers. said this morning that he
would refuse to issue a warrant for the
legal fee. and unless the village board
goes into it's private pocket for the
amount another mandamus suit may
result compelling the village clerk to
sign the warrant
Nor is the Interstate Electrical Co
auite satisfied with the blow it received
last week, when the court enjoined 1t
in the franchise matter Its secretary
has informed the village clerk that the
company proposes to compel him
through the courts to sign the warrant
for ss25, which il claims for the plans
and specifications drawn up by its own

HEAVY MAINS sunk
IN CALUMET RIVER
Man Will Be Sent Under the
River to Discover IF
There Be Any Leaks.

Several tons of chains were required
yesterday to sink the 36-inch water
mains in the Grand Calumet river near
the Columbia bridge. The mains which
were laid by the Great Lakes Dredge &
Dock company, were placed twenty six
feet below the surface of the water.
and because they were sealed at both
ends so that they were air tight float
ed on the water until weighted down
BY the chains
The sealing of the mains served two
purposes, first that of laying the pipes
evenly without a break and secondly
to exclude the filth and germ carry
ing water from the pipes which will
eventually be connected with direct
line to the pumping station. At first it
was planned to sink the high pipe which
extended clear across the river by OPEN
ing one end and pumping clear city
of the air and the weight of the wat
er would have sunk the pipe evenly.
The least break in the joints would.
however. have spoiled the job. and this
could not have been discovered with
water in the pipes Accordingly the
mains were left sealed and were sunk
with the chains. A man viii be sent
through the pipes to look for leaks
and flaws. and if any are found the
work will have to be done over again
