LOTS OF THRILLS
Extra Heats Required for State
Fair Races.
Mississippi Belle Fell Over
Backwards.

The feature of Wednesdays racing
occurred in the third heat of the Ply
pace when Joe Umbra, who had fin
ished third on the other two heats,
nosed out ahead of c. d. Nj. in a hard
drive on the home stretch, after c. D.
M. had already won two heats and had
apparently the third safely put away.
In the Pill pace May E. Pick, the ia
vorite, won easily, but there was a
great race for third money between
Captain H. and joachim, which was set
tied in the third heat by Captain H.
coming in second. Mississippi Belle
caused some excitement during the
scoring for the first heat, by rearing
up and falling over backwards, appar-
emily landing on her driver, A. NJ
knight. Knight. however, was not in
jured. The horse was held down until
he could be free of his harness, and
then taken to the stables and hitched
to another bike. He finished fifth in
the next two heats, and when he be-
came fractions. while scoring for the
third, was drawn.
The three-year-old trot was won by
Liza Belle. Lady W. gave her a brush
in the first heat, but was not able to
out-foot her.
In the four and one-half furlongs
running Britten showed himself length
ahead of Lady Tuck after Lady Tuck
had surrendered first place to him at
the Quarter-pole and had retaken it at
the last turn.
Old Pepper Dick proved himself still
full of spice in the half-mile running.
Before the word was given starting
them off, he received little considera-
ton, all attention centering around
Sandy Brook and Newsboy. Sandy
Brook finished bad, while it was News
boys race from the start up to the
place where it counted-the wire.
When Newsboy got to the wire he
found Old Pepper Dick already there.
The old horse wobbled a lot in getting
there, but he got there just the same,
and even while he was webbing he was
going too fast for Newsboy to gain the
necessary half-length.
The summary of yesterdays races is:

February 25, 1919.
ITO the County Assessor:
The state board of tax commission
ers wishes to inform you that at dis
trict meetings held at twelve differ
ent places in the state. beginning on
February IL, at Hammond. and ending
on February 81, at Bedford, to which
meetings every county was invited 20
send it's taxing officers, and at all of
which meetings there was a good at
tendance. and at some of them a very
large attendance, it has been agreed,
without dissenting voice. that at the
approaching assessment, all classes of
personal property shall be assessed at
it's full cash value, and that to equalize
it with the assessment of real estate. 25
per cent shall then be deducted. thus in
effect assessing personal property of
every kind at rs per cent of its actual
cash or market value.
I'm view of this fact, it is incumbent
upon us to inform you that we will ex-
pect you to see that personal property
in your county is SO assessed this year.
This will, beyond dispute equalize the
assessment of all personal property.
and officers with whom we have con-
suited, approach an equalization of the
assessment of personal property as near
Ily as we can make it with the present
assessment of real estate, and this as

Mr.. Carter had been in poor health
for many months. A week ago he was
taken with pneumonia, and to this. to-

due. He was IS years old and had been
a resident of this place most of his life.
Besides a widow, he is survived by

borhood, but in the last fortnight
there has been a good fall of snow
over the winter wheat belt proper. and
there is abundant reason to hope that
when the growing season appears in
the warm days of the spring 1t will
afford promise of a good crop. In the
stock market latterfy attack has been
concentrated upon the shares of the in
active and newly created Industrial Sc
curities and this quarter was obvious
ly the point that was least capable of
defence. Not all the new industrial
promotions that have lately been
brought out were those of over pi-
ta1ized companies, but many of them
were. Good will in more than one re-
cent instance has been placed at an
absurd figure and the stocks concerned
have been weakly held In the last
two years a large number of these
stocks have also enjoyed a great and
undoubtedly manipulated advance.
They have fallen as rapidly as they
have advanced and probably no great
err amount of money has been made or
lost by any one in the operation as a
whole.

ASKS TIMES TO HELP
IN SEARCH FOR HEIR

Somewhere In Indiana, possibly in
Lake county, are heirs to large sum
of money in an Ohio estate. ALA q.
Angler. an attorney in Bellevue, o., is
trying to locate Gussie French Pierce.
or her heirs. and has written to THE
TIMES for aid in finding his parties as
he is interested in the settlement of
the estate
In his statement to THE TIMES, At
torney Angler says:
All Trace Seems Lost.
"Gussie French was formerly a resi-
dent of gainesville. O., and married a
man by the name of Pierce a good
many year ago. The old residents of
gainesville say that Gussie French
was beautiful girl and one of the
bellies of the town at the time of her
marriage to Pierce These old resi-
dents state that they are sure Mr.. and
Mrs. Pierce went to Indiana to live.

NO COAL
SHORTAGE
IN THE CITY

Thanks to a mild winter the coal
shortage which harassed Hammond
dealers early this winter has disap-
peared entirely. and there is now a
plentiful supply of fuel of both an
thracite and bituminous coal in sight
for the balance of the season
There is some probability that the
price may be cut on coal after May list
although none of the local dealers
would predict this definitely
According to AL Fisher of the Ahlborrl
Coal Co, there are in the neighbor-
hood of 800 to 400 cars OF hard coal in
the Erie yards in Hammond awaiting
transportation to Chicago and the west.
He says his company is we'll supplied
with coal, although the chestnut size
is still the hardest to get
by and by said Mr.. Fisher after
the price on chestnut coal has gone
still higher. people will come to the
conclusion that they can use the other
grades of hard coal just as we'll That
will equalize the demand and viii help
the situation all around"
The Beckman supply company says
it has all the coal it needs for it's GUS
toners ]. J. Dibos & Son say they have
an over-supply and that they will not
be bothered with a shortage again
this season.
Downey & Portz stated this morning
/, that their bins are so full that they
had to refuse one car of hard coal this
morning. The East Hammond Coal Co.
too, is well supplied, according to a
statement from Bash Walker this
morning
