GARY DEMOCRATS
EYE POSTMASTERSHIP

Several Gary democrats have their
eye on the Gary postmastership despite
the fact that Postmaster John w. Cali s
second term doesn't expire for nearly
four years. The job pays $4,000.
1t is understood that Martin Gill, late
candidate for sheriff. and a well known
democrat has a petition out for the
place. 1t will be presented to Con-
gressman- elect John B. Peterson, Rev.
A. c. Mayo, Bill Cain. Henry Price and
others are willing to sacrifice them
selves and hold down the postmaster
ship.
However. inasmuch as Mr.. Call is a
veteran of the civil war and went to
the front and fought for four years, 1t
is not believed that DIR. Wilson viii re-
woke his commission when he becomes
president.
Several other Gary democrats say
that they will seek Jobs from Mr.. Pet
erson just to see where they stand
with him. and the present indications
are that the Crown Point statesman
will have a hard time staving off the
greedy pie counter dangerous attach
ed to the Knots gang.

WHO FIRED THE SHOT?

of shattered plate glass window in
the Gallagher Williams Hardware
store in the Knots building. The COM
pany claims that the glass was shat
tered by a policemans bullet. w. L.
Cole of Tolleston received similar
bill.
1t seems that some weeks ago the
elder Cole had his son Norman arrest
ed. The latter broke away from the
police patrol and the father and the
policemen pursued the fleeing lad
Somebody fired shot-the cops claim
they didnt-and the bullet narrowly
missed young Cole and several other
