FAMOUS CARR CASE TO
BE TRIED ON MONDAY

The defendants in the case
prominent people. Mrs. Jessie Philbin
is the wife of judge of the New
York supreme court; Mrs. Nettie Ty-
ler's husband is Washington attor-
Tey and Miss Daisy Holiday is also
well known socially. All are heirs of
William Holiday, who is said to have
bought the tract of land from Ewing
Brothers. formerly Indian traders, who
got the land from the red men in
trade. 1t is said that the land was
procured from them in 1886 at con-
sideration of $12 or less for the whole.
When Gary was born and the pail of
commercialism was spread over the
Calumet district. Mrs. Carr was resid-
ing on the drifting sands near tho
beach, giving fish dinners to hunting
parties. 1t then that the defend
ants in the present pending case came
to assert their claim
Mrs. Carr came to the land in 1876
and bases her claim on the allegation
that 1t was a verbal gift to her from
"a man named Bingham, who claimed
to be the owner before that time.
Since then she has continuously resid-
ed there and believes that she can es-
tablish her right by her long occupa-
ton. Should Mrs. Carr win both of
the suits. she will be one of the Ameri-
can millionaires.
Mrs. Cars case will be handled at
Michigan City by p. E. Kelly. of this

@He is very proud she managed to whisper
"That's it. his pride, and that is why wish you to

"I've tried to think of a way to
give him hand; but it's no easy
thing. He's prouder than Lucifer."
AS the two partners reached the
entrance to their Offices they
were overtaken by Jacob Adams,
who had grown gray as local
representative of one Of the great
marine insurance companies.
These three had long been warm
friends.
"Now that Pericles is back
said he with a smile, maybe
you'll change your mind about
the Andes business, John Laysan.
Five minutes afterward Pericles
was saying to Adams, @My answer
is the same that my partner made
a month ago. The Andes may be
lying in an easy position, as you
say, the chances may be hundred
to one in favor of saving her; but
/ wouldn't think Of going down
into the South Seas on no cure,
no pay contract. wouldn't touch

company has paid on her as total
loss. You're out sixty thousand
dollars, and my advice is not to
throw good money after bad.
Those are treacherous waters.
Perhaps we are talking now about
a ship that's at the bottom of the
sea-"
@Oh, Pericles, l forgot to warn
you," said Laysan as Adams left
them. 4When you meet the Com
modore say nothing to him about
the Andes. It's an obsession with
him. He has an idea she might
be saved. He'll talk for hours
about it. A good many think he's
bit cracked on the subject
AT the end of that crowded day
the partners had another talk
about William Thornton, and that
evening saw Pericles standing at
the door of small white cottage
on the brow of Russian Hill. As
he lifted the knocker he paused to
look at the Commodore's former he

castle. During the day he had lea

@No, William" she answered,
and then, reading Pericles' troubled
thoughts, she said that she felt
tired and asked to be excused.
@My prayers will be with you al
ways" she said as she kissed him
goodnight, and it was given to him
to understand what she meant.
@You said nothing to her about

shake Of his head that he had not a

In that moment William Thorn

Pericles as it had not been that
morning. He seemed withered,
wilted like the violets he wore in
his lapel. Abby Thornton's words
came back to him, Its easy
enough to begin anew in the morn
ing Of life; yet hard, hard thing
in the evening"" Still Pericles was
committed to his plan. This man
had to be helped!
With a sudden directness char
acteristic of all he did, and yet a
delicacy and finesse that no trained
diplomat could have excelled, he
put his proposal to the Commo-
dore. And, 10! as he unfolded
what was in his mind he saw Will
lam Thornton's form straighten in
his chair, his shoulders square, his
chin come up and out, as with the
impulse of youthful daring, and
his eyes glow with interest! He
made him feel there was way of
beginning anew; made him un-
derstand that friendship was not
an empty thing, but a real, vital
quality of life; imbued him with
his own enthusiasm of youth.
@Not word, Commodore,
please" Pericles said at the end
when the old man tried to thank
him.

AS white already has signifed a will

Although wolgast lost the decision
to white over the ten-round route, at

in all sections OF the country. Coast
promoters want him to meet Joe Xiv
