MAN KILLS
HIMSELF

am going to end 1t ALL" and with
these words on his lips Andrew Bren-
men sent bullet crashing through his
brain at the boarding house of Mrs B.
Conners at Tolleston, about lis this
afternoon.
Mrs. Corners keeps a boarding house
at Borman boulevard near Fourth ave
nue. Recently she was divorced from
her husband, and later when Bremen
came to board with her she made his
acquaintance and the couple became
quite intimate with her.
This noon Mrs. Conners and Bremen
were heard in a quarrel and. leaving
her, he said, Il will end it all" where
he went to his room and put a revolver
TO his head, death resulting almost in
stantly.
The exact trouble is not known. but
1t Is said to be over a love affair be-
tween the two.
Bremen was discharged from the
Gary police force about two weeks ago
because he had been drinking heavily
for the past three months.
Bremen is 35 years old and was we'll
known in Gary and Tolleston where
he has lived for the past three years
and was a single man.

OF STREET
IS ASSURED

The widening of State street east of
Oakley avenue now seems an assured
fact. canvass of the property own
ers has been made and almost without
exception they favor the project.
State street property owners are
among the most progressive in the city.
They have seen values rise so rapidly
in the past few years that the street
will unquestionably be one of the best
business streets in the city in little
while.
But most of the development has
been confined to that portion of the
street between the Nickel Plate tracks
and Oakley avenue. The problern Is TO
make that development continue
farther east.
The widening of the street seems to
offer the best solution of the problem.
A merchant who has his place of busi-
ness on a. wide street with side walk
wide enough to accommodate the
pedestrians and yet afford them a view
of his windows has the better of the
business man whose store is located on
such narrow street that only a few
can see his wares.
Look for Big Development.
1t is confidently believed that as
soon as the street is widened and paved
that there will be remarkable develop
ment along the whole street The mer-
chants who want to cater to the great
east side, which contains three -fourths
of the population of Hammond, will To-
cate on state street
More property owners are signifying
their approval of the project every day
B. f. Bunde and E. A. Bunde are the
latest to boost the project. Others are
falling in line and the time is now ripe
for the circulation of the petition in
favor of the project.
State street is proving that its prop
erty owners can work in harmony in
favor of a great public Improvement,
1t is proving that its business men are
progressive; that they are able to look
into the future instead of concerning
themselves with only the present.
A big meeting of the property own
ers on this street is to be held in the
near future. At this meeting arrange
ments will be made to go before the
city officials with their project and
secure their sanction.

The cause for the action remains 3
