May START
INJUNCTION
PROCEEDINGS

1t Is possible that one of the con-
tractors who put in a bid on the sew
er for Wentworth avenue, West Ham
mond. will start proceedings to enjoin
the building of it on the grounds that
the contract was not let to the lowest
bidder.
One peculiar thing about the deal is
the fact that Charles Lavene the father
of the Lavene Bros, who got the con-
tract. is one of the most active oppon-
ents of the action of the board.
Charles Lavene also figured on the
job and was beaten out by his SON. He
told friend yesterday that he would
start Injunction proceedings to prevent
the deal from going through

had blocked the crossing at Holman
street about $40 last night for nearly
an hour. This is on the Wabash spur
leading into the. Reid Murdoch plant

cident might have occurred.
Another report came in this morn
ing that the Terminal also blocked

pulled up a string of cars and left them
standing on the crossing This Is the
third time in the past few months that
the Terminal has violated the ordi-

From siekiy youth to health.
wealth and honor is the history of
Michigans present governor, Chase
Osborne. He has just been in the
iimeight because of his fight for state
primaries to select the peoples choice
for president. As boy he was handi-
capped in every way and his success
Is all the more to his credit 1t was
because of poor health that he left his
home and spent two years in the ten
virgin forests Of Michigan. He lived
throughout the period in the open and
scarcely saw a white man during the
time. He not only won back his health
but paved the way to his wealth, for
1t was during the months spent here
that he discovered and secured title to
certain mines which gave him his start
financially. During his years gov
ernor he has stood for the people OF his
state against the interests, and has put
through some very important measures.
He has been suggested vice presi-
