Gary Has a Claim.

Then there is Bill Kunert of Tol1es-
ton. who has the ear of the repub-
licans of Lake county. Bill thought
he ought to have had the nomination
several other occasions. but he
stepped aside for party reasons. Bill
has determined to enter this race and
stick for the big show and he hopes
to have Calumet and Hobart townships
with him.
Disputing Kunert's claim to these
delegations is Theodore Binzen of Gary.
Binzen has always been hard party
workers and believes that the work he
has done for the party in Calumet
township entities him to the office.
George Blocki has started a cam
paign for the nomination. George has
a great many friends over the county
as a result of his work as deputy sheriff
and expects to cut some figure when
the time comes.
How many other candidates will rise
| up and claim the support of their par
| ty seems to depend largely upon the
weather. At least the republicans will
| have a likely lot to pick from and the
| fight will be a hot one.
Austgen Is Mentioned.
| On the democratic side there are not
so many candidates. Fred Carter. the
| only man who has been elected to this
office on the democratic ticket, is too
busy with his many interests to think
| of the nomination. At least that is the
| way he talks. A man who is good
enough to win this office from the re-
publicans is able to make more money
out of politics than the office would
| pay, according to Carter's friends.

DASH INSPIRED CONFIDENCE.

Yesterday morning he engaged an
automobile and with two local young
women started out for time. Nothing
was too good for the girls. the chauf-
feur or any one else Holland came in
contact with. 1t was common for him
to tip the walters in the road houses he
visited with so cents on every round of
drinks.
The very dash with which he speN
money inspired con- ffde nee in his vic
tins, and they never dreamed of aues-
tioning his honesty. He visited Reed s
lake and victimized one man there. Lat
er he visited resorts to the north and
south of the city. Some of the checks
he wrote were drawn on a Hammond
bank and some on ST. Louis bank.
To cap the climax of generosity Hol-
land went to a department store and
purchased dresses for his two women
friends. giving one of the bogus checks
in payment
The man who went such a swift
pace in short a time was not well dress
ed and those who did not come iun-
der the spell of his spending ewonder
that others were duped. He wore a
brown coat and black trousers and was
of medium build and complexion.

two thousand dollars have been sub
scribed to the building fund by h
citizens. Besides this S~helbyville has
promised to stand by the trustees TIL
