the alarm at once and by the time the
volunteer fire department responded
the flames had gained considerable
headway
Fearing that the flames would eat

Sibley Street Awaits the
Outcome of Clash With
Much Interest.

Alderman John PascaIly and Martin
Linz, well known Hammond men, are
furnishing excitment a plenty for Sib-

game that is now nearing a climax.
In the battle of wits Linz is so far
the hero and length in the lead. He
started with a bad handicap and ran
a hard race.
1t Started This Way.
John Pascally quite recently built a
one-story tailor shop between the
Baptist church and Martins home.
The lot being his and there would
have been no cause for anyone object
ing had not John planted his little
brick shop right on the sidewalk thus
aggravating Martin who considered it
detriment to his property and the
street.
In striking about for a solution Linz
had the lots surveyed and was happy
to find that Pascally had built on two
inches of his property. Martin states
that the tailor will have the pleasure
of lifting his brick shop over where
1t belongs or her will know why.
