also invaded by a vicious element OF
lawless individuals who took advan-
tage OF tho situation. but who had no
real connection with tne strike.
Sentiment in Hammond was divided
One element openly sided with the
strikers and announced their intention
OF establishing their cause by force.
The other element saw in the IN
bridled actions of the invaders a
menace to the town and to all prop
srty rights.
The situation became so grave That
at meeting held at the residence of
Charles Griffin a decision was reached
to arm and drill a picked company of
citizens for the protection OF life and
property.
Street mobs were congregating daily

others to plan the wrecking of trains.

to all authority made 1t apparent that

and the element OF citizens VINO re-
scented the invasion of the town by
outsiders had grown to such proper

Probably the greatest service 20 the
community was Gostlin's influence IN
an effort TO make Hammond something
more than a factory town. It was he
who conceived and urged the carrying

One little Hammond laddie heard of

said. When the youngster was four
years of age. his mother took him to
Florida TO escape the rigor of the
damp blasts OF Lake Michigan. Mr.
and Mrs. Gostlin happened to be in the
same city. Unknown to his mother
the kiddie collected the papers sent by
his father and would take them out in
the street and sell them a la newsboy
fashion. Mr.. Gostlin met him one day
on the street and heard the childish

THE PERSONAL SIDE OF
THE LATE W. H. GOSTuN
Anecdotes Told Of Hammond Pioneer Who Never Was Too
Busy TO Attend to the Little Things, Busy as He Was.

In 1907 when the panic broke out
Messrs. Gostiin. Turner and Betz were
travelling abroad. Alarmed by the re-
ports coming from the United States.
Gostlin and Turner hurried back. The
boat trip across the Atlantic was be-
coming monotonous and time began to
hang heavy on the hands OF the two
Hammond men, so they resumed the
game which they had played for years
Kidding each other on the quiet"
About three days out from New
York. Gostlin whispered 1t about that
there was diamond smuggler aboard
ship. The more mysteriously he hint
ed II. the more readily he was heliev-
ed. When his little seed of suspicion
had taken root he gave it name. and
he named it Turner. Then he settle i
back to see it grow. He told of it
later at a reception that was given in
honor of him and Turner by the Elks
of which lodge both were members.
when we landed. about a dozen of
the ship passengers. tipped Turner or
to the customs officials" said Gostlin.
relating some travel experiences after
the cigars were lit. "and it's the God 5
truth. in their search for smuggled
diamonds. they stripped him to the
pelt"

The second crisis came to Hammond
wnen the G. H Hammond company was
absorbed by the National Packing
company, and abandoned the Ham
mond plant. Practically every person
in Hammond in those days earned his
living either directly or indirectly in
the slaughter house"
Homes had been built, business en-
terprises had grown up and the town
had risen around the packing industry.
All of the outstanding personalities of
the early days-the Towles. K. H Bell.
j. M. wanner and others-came to
Hammond with the meat industry.
So the announcement that Hammond
was going to lose its one industry
meant that II something was not done
that Hammond would become a de-
serted city. In this emergency William
II. Gostlin again came to the front.
He called to his council sucn men as
A. NJ. Turner. Peter w. Meyn, William
F. Bridge, Joseph G. Ibach, Thomas
Hammond and others, and together
they planned the industrial rehabilita-
ton of the city
A bonus of $4,000 was paid to the
w. B. Conkey company. one of $4,000
to the Simplex Railway Appliance com
pany and Reid Murdoch company and
other concerns. such as the F. s. Betz
company, were located
Gostlfn put in a number of the best
years of his life in this desperate and
remarkably successful effort to keep
Hammond on the map. 1t was his en-
thusiasm. his determination, his iron
will that accomplished almost unbe-
lfevably results.
Later on when an attempt was made
to prevent the w. B. Conkey company
from operating and a big bully stood
in front OF the plant intimidating
those who got off from the street car
to work in the plant
Gostlin ordered the man away. He
refused to move, and, although he was
nearly twice the size of the indomita-
BILE Billy. the Hammond man with one
sled ge-hammer blow knocked him cold
and later the strike was called off,

AS Lake county began to be factor
in state politics and the need Of proper
representation at the state capital be-
came apparent. Gostlin was elected
senator. He at once took up the mat
ter of securing a superior court for
Hammond.
At that time the idea of having two
courts in one county was unheard Of.
But Gostlin's personality and his per-
sistence won, and Hammond was made
the seat of the first Superior court in
Indiana. court Of concurrent juris-
diction with the Circuit court at Crown
Point.

To DECIDE STATUS
!. OF MILK IN COURT
OF RECORD TO-DAY

Is or is not milk a ''farm pro-
dCct?" is a question which in effect
Judge Kirke Monroe, of the court Of
record will be called upon to decide
today. The question has been put
up to Judge Monroe by virtue of an
appeal from the arrest of milk man
named Howell, in the city for not
having proper license as dairy
man, or for selling milk without a
license. Mr.. Howell contends that
milk is farm product" and as such
is not liable to taxation. The city
contends that milk is milk, and ped
ding business should be taxed, hence
proceedings we're instituted when
Mr.. Howell hesitated about taking
out the license as required by law.
Mr.. Howell appealed, and the court
will pass upon the feature of the
question which is in doubt, and which
is expressed in the above interroga-
tory.
Chief of Police Frank D. Sanders,
as head of the police department and
as the officer prosecuting all
charges, has been summoned to APP
pear and answer writ before Judge
Monroe, who of course, is consider
ing the matter in chambers as the
term of court ended some time ago.

looking forward to the show with
much interest and will probably at

the first chance. During the district
convention, to take place at DeFun-
lax Nov. 17r18, it will be exhibited

eral hundred who are expected to at
tend the convention.
In the detail of the picture, the
sovereign commander, G. NJ. Fraser,
at Omaha, Neb., and other notable
officers of the order are shown, all of
which will be interesting to all good
Woodmen, and w. o. w. day will
probably be declared at the movie
house which will have the reel.

B. Sheppard for the Northern District of
Florida, yesterday. ordering the Ameri-
can schooner Emma Harvey to be sold
at public outcry. before the door Of the
postoffice, at noon on November 3, by
United States Marshal James B. Perkins.

who towed the derelict schooner into
port bottom up. No sign of life was
found on board. and nothing was heard

claim, for he contended that the owner
agreed to pay him for the salvage, after
wards refusing, when II was discovered

the true owner of the vessel

CANNING FACTORY
PREPARING MANY
KINDS OF SEA FOOD

Many kinds of sea foods are be-
ing canned and put on the market
by the new canning factory which
Frank Welles has opened on Palafox
wharf. Up to date the canning of
chowder, fish flakes, shrimp and the
ike has been very successful, but a
new idea was launched during the
past few days when a "deviled fish"
product has been successfully pre-
pared. This highly seasoned and ap-
petizing dainty was offered by Mr..
Welles to number of friends yester-
day, and the samples were pro-
nounced highly satisfactory. Mr..
Welles announces that he will label
this as quoted above, and expects to
do a big business along this line inn
mediatelJ.
The fish is cooked and seasoned
and Irish potatoes, onions, etc, in
wholesome quantities tend to make up
can filled with very edible pro-
duct.
Pensacola bay shrimp in large
quantities have also been canned
there during the past few days.
Shrimp in the open market is bring
ing top-notch prices at present and it
is not difficult to get five cents for
all offered in New Orleans, f. 0. b.
Pensacola. This attractive price
causes many hundred pounds to be
furnished in that line and the can
ming has thus far been on limited
scale.
Fish flakes, for sandwiches, is the
name of another product which has
been successfully timed, samples of
which were offered yesterday. This
product, with the canned shrimp,
chowder and the "deviled fish, are
ready for the market.
Another product which will prob
ably form an output of the local fac
tory in short order, although now in
an experimental stage, is ssrdined
cigar fish, a species found in mex
haustible quantities in this place. Mr..
Welles said that up to the present
time complete arrangements for
this product had not been made,
but he anticipates no trouble in plac-
ing very toothsome edible once all
things are prepared in this line.
Mr.. Welles told shrimp fisherman
yesterday that he was in the market
for all the shrimp he could get, and
will use all such shrimp either in the
canning factory or work up the trade
which has already been started on a
limited scale, of sending the Pensa-
cola bay product in the frozen state
to New Orleans and other markets.
A large force of workmen are now
employed in the canning factory and
already plans are being made for an
enlargement of the plant to fill de-
mands.
