EXPECT POWDER FACTORY ON KANALLY PURCHASE.

People at Wheatfleld Have Little Doubt That Laud and Right-Of-Way Was Purchased for That Purpose. While no definite information has been acquired, it is generally believed that the land in the northwest corner of Kankakee township, purchased by Attorney M. V. Kanally, of Chicago, will be used for the building of a large powder manufacturing industry. In all. Mr. Kanally purchased about 1,700 acres of land and a right-of-way for a railroad leading from both the C. 4k E. J. and the Three Eye roads to the tract where it is presumed the factory will be located. TheVact that the land was all purchased on the quiet, that large prices were paidand that no one seemed to realize what was happening until Mr. Kanally had secured all the land he needed for the purpose to which it will be put, confirms the idea that a factory of Borne kind will be built. Since the purpose is guarded as a close secret, there is not much conjecture to go. on, although a Rensselaer gentleman who was in that part of the county last week, says he learned that there is not much doubt but the purchase was made for the purpose of erecting a powder mill for the Dupont Powder Co., now located at Miller, Ind. That company is said to have orders far in excess of its output and that it can not grow on account of the high price of land there and also because of the prejudice existing there against the company where several explosions have occurred in recent years. It is said that the mill to be established in Jasper county will employ from 500 to 700 people, and that the factory will be built on the lines of the most modern powder mill in the world, making an explosion practically impossible. If the plan is carried* out as our informant believes it will be, a town of four or .five thousand people will spring up. It will be only about three miles from Wheatfleld. /

O. O. HAMMERTON DIED IN ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO.

Former Mall Clerk Went South for Health Three, Weeks Ago—Body Will Be Brought Here for Burial. The sad word was received by relatives here today., that Oran Oliver Hammerton, better known here by the name of Tim, had died this Monday morning, at Roswell, New Mexico, where he had gone”only about tT.ree weeks ago for his health. The body will be shipped from Roswell tomorrow , and will probably reach here Thursday. Mrs. Hammerton went to the south with her husband and will accompany the remains here, having asked that some member of the family meet her that day to Chicago. Mr. Hammerton was a railway mail clerk for about ten years. He resigned his position about a year ago and moved to a farm he had purchased near New Troy, Mich. He decided to go to New Mexico, believing Jthat that climate would prove beneficial to his health. Just what was the trouble with him seemed to baffle the physicians. He had some lung -trouble but not enough, fs is believed, to have caused death. His wife is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Tttllis. They have no children. Mr. Hammerton was about 34 years of age, being the next older than Lemuel Hammerton. His other brothers a?e Westey, George and Temple. There are also four sisters, namely, Mrs. Nellie Manahan, Mrs. A 1 Witham, Mrs. Hester Cripps and Miss Eva Hammerton. The Hammerton family has been sadly afflicted within recent months. The father, Elias Hammerton died, and Ross Manahan, the promising son of Mrs. Nellie Manahan, passed away following an operation for appendicitis. The funeral arrangements have not been completed, but the burial will probably not take place before Saturday or Sunday. -—7
