SERVICE

The property owners of Burnham.
West Hammond and West State street
met last evening for the purpose of
taking UP the question of opening
Burnham avenue and providing a street
car service between the two cities.
The fact was made known that the
franchise of the Eastern Illinois Trae-
ton company has expired and the sug
geStion was made that the Gary & In
terurban railroad be induced to build
I. line TO Burnham and Hegewisch-
The opinion seemed 10 he that it
would be preferable for the Hammond.
Whiting and East Chicago railroad to
build, If ID could be induced to do SO.
for the reason that ii would give su-
perior connections with Chicago.
Joseph Weis was made chairman Of
the meeting. Dr. J. T. clark explained
the purpose of the project. Richard
Zimmerman of West Hammond and W.
Fl. Murnan of Burnham made remarks.
Mr.. weis made the suggestion that
the chair appoinS committees from
West state street West Hammond and
Burnham to work out solution of the
problem. Peter Lyons said that some
action Ought to be taken at once.
on the motion of Or. J. T. Clark tine
chair appointed c. W. Whitney of
Burnham Richard Zimmerman of West
Hammond and Or. Clark of Hammond
to take the matter up further and call

BATTLE OF BALLOTS
ON At PRIMARIES

Promptly at o'clock this after
noon the republican party's primary
election machinery was set in motion
all over Lake county and IN scores of
precincts voters gathered TO express
their choice for offices the county
ticket The balloting will end at =. s
O'Clock and from that time until morn
ing It will require some expeditions
figuring to determine what candidates
VIII be thrown into the convention.
The hottest fight on the county tickl
et developed in the shrievalty race, for
which three aspirants covet the plum.
These are Henry Whitaker and Fred
Friedley of Hammond and William
Kunert OF Gary. Each man claims VIC
tory this afternoon; but the race will
probably not end until tomorrow aft
ernoon, when the county convention
meets at Grown Point There are any
number of rumors Of deals in which
votes are TO be traded or by the sew
ersi candidates, but in their face they
are not reliable.
Quite an interesting fight on the
question of representative comes up
also this afternoon. Gary has two can
didates. Widholm and Quillen, while
Center township has William Newton
for a favorite son and the latter will
cut big figure in the vote outside OF
the cities. where. outside of East Chi
cago, his strength is rather problem
atfcal. The race between Glover and
Johnson for recorder Is horse race
and the las. lap will have to be reeled
of before a winner is returned. The

HEAL TIL OFFICER
KILLS SECOND DOG
DR.. w. D. Weis Sacrifices
Animal in the Interest of
Public Health.

DR. w. y. Weis last night sacrificed
a valuable dog TO insure protection to
his neighbors animals against rabies,
with which he feared his dog was suf-
fering. The head was sent TO the state
laboratory today for examination.
This is the second dog that the Ham
mond physician has had to kill within
the past year, the first having had un-
mistakeable signs of hydrophobia.
while the second one showed strong
symptoms. Where the animals be-
came inocculated is mystery to him.
The dog which tod to be killed last
night was a handsome animal, cross
between a st, Bernard and collie.
and has been pet in the household for
three years.
Several days ago the animal showed
signs of illness. 1t was very irritable.
and on one occasion when a younger
dog belonging to DIR. Weis and a cat
tried to play with the sick it snapped
at them. but it could not be definitely
established whether they were actually
bitten. They will be carefully watched
in the future for any signs OF rabies.

ANOTHER
LINE TO
LINK CITIES

Gary. Hammond and East Chicago
which are now connected by South
Bend with one intefurban route, the

time be linked with that city by an
other route, the air Hne and its MUIR
dock line connections from LaPorte to
South Bend, may also be connected
with Eau Claire and Dowagfc, Mich. via
South Bend.
Both passenger and freight service
are planned, the cars using the tracks
of the Benton Harbor & st. Joseph
Railway Company from Eau Clair to
Dowagiac. The new service will be
possible with the closing OF three
mile gap from Berrfen Springs to Eau
Claire. for which surveys are now be-
ing made. This line is planned as an
extension of the Chicago, South Bend

heard from him last Wednesday from
kensington, Hi.
He says that on the day he was
missed he found himself in box car in
kensington, suffering with severe
head wound. Under what conditions
he was struck and how lie came to be
placed ir the cars he says he does not
know. which leads to the belief that
he met with foul play.
Dewel came to Hammond more than
a week ago on business He intended
to go home via Gary and it was at the
latter place that he was last seen. The
police in the various Lake county cities
were called upon TO assist in the search
for Dewel.

Officials of the Gary Land company
today stated that as yet no plans had

that Virginia street may be opened up
