CAN'T KEEP
GARY FROM
GROWING

Brains are working overtime in
Gary, and that the builders and archi-
tects of the city will devise means
whereby the new housing law will act
as no deterrent to the building Doom
in the steel city is the conclusion OF
Capt. H. S. Norton.
Capt. Norton, who is head of the
Gary Land ompany of the steel cor
poration. sees the continuance of the
building of the two-story two-apart-
nent houses and the larger apartment
houses by selling As instead of 80 feet
frontage lots This cannot be done on
the older streets very we'll, but In Fill
more, Pierce and Buchanan streets a
buyer must at least take a lot and a
half.
| Ingenious planning and wider lots
| will serve to check the avage of this
housing act.
Ten Indiana legislatures could Mt
keep Gary from growing" Is the way
one contractor put it.

OH. NO! THE
JUDGE WAS
NOT SHOT

Rumors that Judge William Waster-
gren of Miller had been shot and killed
during the night gave the Miller tele-
phone exchange operator more bust
ness THAI she had in six months time.
Scores of long-distance calls came
from the Gary police. and
friends of the judge in Gary. There
were also calls from,other parts of the
county. The Judge couldn't be To-
Gated. and the Miller operator said that
she had heard nothing of his cashing
in.
How Rumor Started.
Today 1t developed that the Judge was
kidding" some friends in Miller last
night. He showed them a scar on his
right arm. Here is where 1 got shot
at the battle of Antietam," his honor
is declared to have said. From this
the story became m~agnihed, and by
the time the yarn reached Gary its
substance was that the Judge was now
~twanging a harp in heaven.

A Small Fire.

Yesterday morning about Z o'clock
fire was discovered in the ]. B. Bax-
ter home. 1925 west Bank street.
The fire started from an overheated
stove pipe which was close to the
wall, and had run along the wall
and reached nearly to the roof. One
of the neighbors near the Baxter
home happened to be passing and
with the help of two boys and the
neighbor the shingles were torn off
and water thrown on the fire, ex-
tinguishing it in short order. Luck
lily 1t was discovered when 1t was,
for in a very few minutes more it
would no doubt have been beyond
control. The fire department was
not called out as the prompt work

4 BOONE FARMER Is FINED

Considerable excitement has been
manifested by few farmers who re-
side in the vicinity of Webster City
and also some of the stock buyers
over the fact that private detect
i've, supposedly working for one of
the railroads, has been compiling a
list of men who have been shipping
hogs from farms where hey know
other hogs were sick with cholera.
The railroads have not been treated
fairly in this proposition, they
claim, as shippers would ship, hogs
they were uncertain of and when
the hogs died would try and make
the transportation company pay for
them. With this going on, people
are not using pork as much as for
merly, as it is impossible to tell
what they are getting. The major
1ty of the meat markets are doing
the best they can by buying packing
.ouse meat which has been inspect
ed several times, but even this does
not satisfy the average buyer.
Whole nerds of some times as high
as three hundred hogs have been
lost this summer by the dreaded
cholera and it seems impossible 20
stop 1T. 1t is reported that one man
in the north part of Boone county
who shipped two carloads of hogs
when he had cholera on the place,
WAS Caught and fined $500 for do
ing 1t. If this be true, shippers
should be given heavy fines where
they know there is danger of chol-
era developing among the hogs ship
ped. If this has been going on in
this part of the county we hope the
parties will be caus.t and made to
suffer the penalty.

WILLIAMS MAN
BADLY POUNDED
Ed Jones Knocked Down With Shov-
Ell by Jack sallee and Unmerci-
fully Beaten.

Ed Jones was in the city today
conferring with County Attorney
Henderson in regard to an encounter
with Jack Sallee. Both parties re-
side in Williams where Sallee is a
plumber. 1t seems that in joking
manner Jones had made some re-
marks about Sallee and when
Jones was going home Friday even
ing Saleee met him in the street and
hit him with shovel Jones was
knocked down and after he was
down Sallee pounded his face into a
Jelly. Jones was taken at once to
doctor where an examination was
made and it was found that the
bones were broke in one arm, his
scalp badly cut and ribs might be
cracked. Sallee at once skipped out
and has not been heard from since.
Parties In Williams who are ac-
quainted with the case say that it
was an exceptionally brutal attack.
as Sallee is very large man, stand
ing over six feet. The authorities
will try and apprehend the assail-
ant and bring him into court.

AN AID Club FOR
WEBSTER CITY
H. G.. Greene Of Fort Dodge in The
City to Interest Business Men
in the Project.

H. G. Greene of Fort Dodge is in
the city today to seq if it Is not
possible to interest the business
men of this city in organizing an
Ad Club" He is secretary Of the
Fort Dodge club and they wish to
help organize club in this city.
The idea of the club is continual
boost for the city and instructions
in the ways of personal advertising.
The Town Criers of Waterloo have
in fact made Waterloo what she is
today, one of the best known cities
in the state of Iowa. This club in
no. way conflicts with commercial
leagues and is great addition to
any city. 1t is hoped that Mr..
Greene's mission to Webster City
will not be failure as this place
has the facilities and only needs the
advertising to let the people of the
middle west understand what re-
sources this city has. Mr.. Greene
will no doubt have talk with many
of the business men of the city and
more will be heard later in regard
to organizing such club.

While Mr.. Wilson has computed
his message, which will embrace not
only summary of the proposals
made by John Lind and the reply Of
the Huerta government, but state
ment of the policy to be followed by
the United States, administration
officials were mt as to TIE
course that would be pursued. They
pointed significantly, however, to
the Latin-American statement issu-
ed by President Wilson during the
first fortnight of his administration
and declared it would be the basis Of
what he would have to say on Tues
day.

from the Galena district in western
Chihuahua yesterday, Gen. Francis
co Villas revolutionists are i'll
treating women in each town they
occupy, and have carried several
girls into captivity. Also they have
robbed the few Americans in that
section of horses, wagons and
money. ....a
Villas main force is reported to
be in Carmen ranch, about thirty
miles west of Gallego station on the
Mexican National railroad. In the
march from Ascension the revolu-
tionists passed through the valleys
formerly occupied by the Mormon
settlers, most of whom have aban-
doned that region.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 25.-Be-
sides Great Britain, France and ia
pan, practically all the South Amer
lean countries are lending their sup
port to the efforts of the United
States to bring about peaceful set
tlement Of the Mexican revolution.
Unless satisfactory overtures are
made by the Huerta government be-
fore Tuesday, President Wilson will
proclaim in person in message to
both branches of congress the prin-
ciple that only constitutional gov
ernment can be recognized in Mex
ico- He also will outline the sug-
gestions of the United States for the
elimination of Huerta and the es-
tablishment of legally constituted
administration in the southern re-
public.
That the United States is backed
by world wide sentiment in it's
peace policy is conceded in diploma
tic circles here. Tangible evidences
