only thing that could be done for him
was to remove him to a warmer
climate.
In fact this poor stage hand fell
among friends here In Hammond who
looked after him up until the very
time of his death. Clayton had been
employed as chauffeur by NJ. NJ. Towle
Jr., who treated him with every con-
sideration.
Towle found Clayton detected and
sick one day. several weeks ago, and
sent him to the hospital where he paid
all of his expenses. DR.. Kelly donated
his services He stayed there several
weeks and was discharged very much
improved in health.
Later he went back to the hospital
and suffered a relapse. Mort Towle
was called to his bedside Just before
his death. Clayton was delirious most
of the time and nothing could be learn
ed of his relatives.
Neither Towle nor Doctor Kelly be-
lieve that Clayton died of poisoning.
They admit, however that 1t is within
the realm of possibilities that he died
in this manner.

There is still trouble for the Bull

was supposed TO be the hot bed of Bull
Mooseism in Indiana. Early in the
year the Republicans of Wayne county
nominated a county ticket composed
largely of men who were in favor OF the
nomination of Roosevelt for President.
Later when Roosevelt brought forth
the Bull Moose party a number of
Wayne county followers Insisted on
nominating a separate county ticket In
opposition to the ticket which they had
helped to nominate earlier in the sea

ton. The Roosevelt Republican nomf-

BRIDGE IS
NOW ASSURED

The Forsyth avenue bridge over the
canal In East Chicago is practically as
sured. The members of the county
council which body met yesterday in
Crown Point have individually agreed
to make the appropriation for this
structure and today the councilmen
visited the Twin Cities to look over the
ground and size up the situation as to
the necessity for two other bridges. one
at 151st and the other at 141st streets
and the canal.
This visit was the result OF a sug-
gestion by Mayor Schlieker and C. l..
Kirk who with about thirty other citi-
zens from Hammond. Whiting. Indiana
Harbor and East Chicago went to
Crown Point to use their influence and
contribute the weight of their argu-
ments as TO the urgent need of the
bridges.
The councilmen arrived at Calumet
over the C. i. & S. soon after 10 o'clock.
where they were met by automobiles
belonging to Mayor Schlieker. w. B.
Van Horne, c. L. Kirk. Abe Ottenheim-
er and Judge Walter l. Riley. About
twenty-five citizens from the various
towns interested met the county Off
cials and accompanied them in the ma
chimes to the points where the bridges
are in contemplation.
1t has been suggested that a small
appropriation be made at once to cover
the cost of drawing up the plans for
the two additional bridges, provided the
council favors the bridges. and that a
special meeting of the council be held
soon after the opening of the new year,
to vote the large appropriation.
The councilmen were in town only a
short while after which they were
taken BY auto TO the poor farm where
they had an appointment for twelve
o'clock.

Carl Bolander, who was the first one
that attended the fair, to return, states
that the Morrison county exhibit is as
good as the average exhibit.
He states that the exhibits in them
selves are very good but that it is i'm
possible to try and have an exhibit
that will compare with that Of other
counties that expend at least $500 on
the arrangement and decoration Of the
booth and who hire expert designers to
do the decorating for the small sum of

Morrison county to be expended in
