Hunter’s Paradise to Be Platted Into Town Lots.

Orders were given Monday to plat 1,700 acres belonging to the Tolleston Gun club, of Chicago, near Gary, into 16,000 city lots. The land, originally purchased for |17,000, is now, through the building of Gary, valued at $2,000,000. It is owned by wealthy Chicagoans and was at one time a hunting paradise. Many bloody battles were fought between club watchmen and poachers. Five lives were lost in this way. The big club house was in bygone days the scene of brilliant social gatherings from Chicago at spring and fall shootings. Wolves, pelicans and wildcats were shot in the perserves in former days.
