Lafayette to Have a New Factory—E. J. Fogarty at Head.

E. J. Fogarty, warden of the penitentiary at Michigan City, according to a Lafayette dispatch, will resign his office to become the head of a new binder twine and cordage factory. The Lafayette Chamber of Commerce and the Lafayette Development Co, have been campaigning for funds for the past month and a new factory building to cost $35,000 is to be built for the binder twine and cordage plant. The factory will employ 100 men the first year and inside of five years will employ 500 men, according to the dispatch. It is believed that John B. Faulkner, editor of the Michigan City Dispatch, will succeed Fogarty as warden.
