TO DEFINE STATE LANDS

Chief Clerk Hers Spent Several Days in Kankakee Swamp , Region. Jerome Hers, chief clerk in the land department in the office oF the auditor of state, has Teturned from several days spent in the Kankakee region, where hd' went to investigate further claims of the state concerning drained lands. An effort is being made by the state to establish correct property lines for farms which came down to the edge of the swamp before the marsh lands were drained, and to obtain a record of lands to which the state is said to have title under the swamp lands law. A number of persons whose land formerly abutted on the swamp have extended their boundary fences since the drainage, and one of the problems is to ascertain just how much of the state’s lands have thus been fenced in. Suits to quiet title to such lands will be filed when the data are completed.—lndianapolis News.

RABIES PATIENT LEAVES

Complains State Did Not Furnish Him With Spending Money. Indianapolis, Ind., August 12. —The state board of health has lost another of its rabies patients. James Jenkins, fifty-six years old, of North Vernon, left Thursday night, declining to remain for the rest of the treatment, which would require one more week. His complaint was that the board did not supply him with spending money, while paying his board and room rent and supplying the treatment from the state fund. Jenkins’ case was progressing nicely. The head of another dog killed in North Vernon has been found by the pathological laboratory of the board to contain rabies germs. No data were supplied as to whether the dog had bitten any other animals or any persons. The head of a dog killed in Brightwood also was examined, but no rabies germs were found. The dog bit some children in Brightwood when they sought to play with it. A head from Dillsboro was found to contain germs, but no history of the case was given. Another head showing absence of germs was received from Rensselaer. A head sent from Paoli was in such a state of decomposition as to make examination impossible.

NOW WORTH MILLIONS

Tolleston Gun Club’s Preserve Industrial Center. Gary, Ind., Aug. 14.—As a result of.the industrial growth of Gary the property of the Tolleston Gun Club, now used by the Lake Country Club, has greatly increased in value the last few years and land which was once part of a great game preserve containing 3,400 acres will soon be part of a city. Traditions of the early days of the Tolleston Country Club are many and include the story of the resentment of the people against the efforts of Chicago society people to prevent poaching on the land. The Chicago members of the club hired watchmen to stop the poaching in 1890 and the feeling they caused resulted in several deaths. The watchmen were known to the residents as “bullies” and were held in the greatest contempt by hunters who persisted in trespassing in spite of their efforts. Al Looker, a Chicago man who was noted for his ability with a revolver, settled in a cabin in what is now Gary. He was warned to stay off the preserve, but defied the guards. Two of them found him playing pool at John Hargin’s roadhouse in Tolleston one night and attempted to arrest him. One of she guards pushed Looker against the wall and was shot through the heart by Looker. The other guard attempted to shoot Looker, but was too slow, and Looker killed him. A number of sympathetic members of the community surrounded Looker and escorted him home. He was later surrendered to , the sheriff of Lake county and was acquitted when tried for murder. A brother of one of the guards resigned his position on the Chicago police force and followed Looker to Kansas City where the two fought a duel in the street. Looker killed the former policeman. Looker then went to

Seattle, married- and afterward settled in Alaska. The trouble between the poachers and guards continued. One of the guards was found in the mud with his feet in the air several days after Looker killed two of his companions. The man had been shot and his body propped up ip sight of theroad. In one pitched battle’ between guards and farmers, four farmers were shot. This affair created so much feeling that the club became less aggressive and the trouble ceased. It is said that Theodore P. Shonts, John W. Drake and other wealthy men still retain their membership in the gun club. Those who are istill members will profit when the land is sold, for it is now worth millions. Z

In fact the all-day service may be installed as soon as the business circuit is metered. TRADES FOR COAL BUSI- ’ NESS.
