DYER TAKES STEPS
TO PUNISH MONON
Business Men Will Boycott
Railroad in Favor of the
Michigan Central.
Especial to THE TrMEs.)s

Dyer, Ind, July 9.-Business men
and patrons here of the Monon are In
censed at the railroad because the
company at the first of the month
eliminated Dyer stopping place
for the early passenger train. which
heretofore stopped every Wednesday
morning at Dyer at $40.
The early Wednesday morning stop
was a big acomodation particularly to
the business men, 1T afforded them a
good opportunity to get to Chicago
early for a days business but now that
this accommodation is taken away, the
business men intend to retaliate by
having their merchandise shipped over
the Michigan Central and by going to
Chicago over the Michigan Central cut
off and the Erie via Griffith.
The Dyer people have not forgotten
the deal they recently received at the
hands of the Monon, on the occasion
of the St. Josephs chuch corner stone
laying in Hammond, when the COM
pany refused to run a special train as
far as Cedar Lake FOR the accomoda- l.
tfon of about three hundred people
Owing to this the visitors had to re-
turn home when the celebration was at
it's height.
The Dyer business men are more de-
termined than ever to get an interur-
ban railway through town. and the
officials OF the town board are given
to understand. that the Monon is no,
to receive any favors from the town
trustees.

When an effort was made to lease
the Carleton hotel to other persons in
order to get an increase in rent from
the tenants. Mr.. and Mrs Nee, began
looking about for new hotel property.
The Groman- -Muenich building would
be ideal for the purpose. 1t is tho ony
thoroughly fire proof building in the
city. 1t would have the lightest. airiest
rooms in town.
1t is proposed to install a passenger
and freight elevator. The building
has an ideal location for hotel. 1t is
near the business district, near the de-
pots and yet removed from the noise
and smoke of the railroads.
With the Mees. who are the best
known hotel people in the state. at the
head of the venture its popularity
would be insured from the first.

amount of cocaine disposed of In

It, but since Chief Austgen has placed
ban on the drug coke iends have
made themselves scarce.
