GARY HOLDS

First Gary Political Event Proves to be a Decided Success. HAMMOND MEN Tom Knotts Likely President of Town Board While Oliver Holmes Will be Town Clerk. Gary, Ind., July 29.--The first corporate election of Gary is now a part of its rapidly growing history. On Saturday the formal election was held giving the city its first officers The polls opened at 6 o'clock and the forty-nine votes, that being the total number cast, came in slowly during the whole day. The election board consisted of John E. Sears, L. A. Bryan and John Stewart. Following the closing of the polls at about 5 o'clock, there being no more votes offered, the board proceeded to count the votes, Messrs Caldwell, Walsh and Holmes checking. The result of the election was as follows: Millard A. Caldtrustee from the first ward; Thomas E. Knotts, trustee from the second ward, and John E. Sears, trus tee from the third ward; treasurer, Louis A. Bryan, and clerk, C. O. Holmes. Mr. Caldwell is a young man form erly from Terre Haute and now working with the steel corporation. Mr. Knotts is well known as the man who held down Hammond's lid, and Mr. Sears as well as Mr. Bryan is a resident of South Gary. Mr. Bryan has been justice of the peace for eight years, the last term being a hold-over term. The new clerk, C. O. Holmes took the election quite seriously having been a member of the Hammond Recentral committee from his ward. He has left no stone unturnto get himself acquainted with the residents of Gary and on election day worked as if the success of the republican party of Indiana were at stake. The elected officers hold until 1910 and while their salary now is a mere bagatelle, by the time their term of office expires, it will likely amount to "something in the hand whilst." The officers were promptly sworn in following their receipt of the cerfrom the election board and a report of the election was filed at Crown Point this morning. The town board, consisting of the three trustees meet this evening to begin their work. PONY BALKS; CLEARS SIX-FOOT DITCH.

Th pony was slightly injured and the rig damaged. Mr. Perrine and his nephew assistLewis in righting the rig. The three people who had the experience with the balking pony live in ValWill Play Three Games With Grays.

A QUIET SUNDAY IN THE COUNTRY,

ECTION

CHOSEN

TAKE NO CHANCES. There seemed to be a policeman looking out of every corner of the Monon depot last night as one of the Sunday excursions came through Hammond on the way back from Cedar Lake. The crowds on the train were either cowed or much more respectable than the usual lot for they seemed disinclined to even leave the cars as they usually do. The police are evidently taking no chances with the Cedar Lake hoodANOTHER STREET CAR SCRAPE. The street car conductors are havtheir troubles these days. YesCarl Kluck, who was intoximade such a disturbance that the conductor found it necessary to put him off the car. He did so and the man tried to start a fight. The affair occurred at 119th street and Schrage avenue where the Whiting police soon caused the arrest of the disturber. He is being held for trial at Whiting. HORSE AND BUGGY STOLEN. A horse and buggy were stolen from A. H. Smith last night at Crete, Ill., and the local authorities have been advised of the theft. The outfit ought to be easy to locate as the probabilities are that it has not been driven very far. The horse is black, 20 years old and is swayback. The buggy is an old one and looks as though the body was black once upon a time, while the gear was red. The chief of police is waiting for information about the horse and buggy. TWO CHILDREN DEAD.

SINGERS RETURN HOME PRAISE ST. PAUL HOSPITALITY

Several Thousand German Singers Enjoy themselves from WednesUntil Saturday. The German singing fest which took place at St. Paul last week closed on Saturday night. Hammond had a strong delegation there and most of it is expected to be in Hamagain today. A St. Paul paper said that "music was in the air continuously" while the singers were there. The depot on Thursday all day long rsounded with the joyful strains of the local brass band as it welcomed the invisitors. Every arrangement went off witha hitch and great credit is due to those in charge. The baggage of the visitors was looked after by the members of the local societies. The saengerfest information bureau staon the main floor of the dedid inestimable good and through its efforts no confusion resulted. The members of each society as they filed into the depot were informed as to their hotels and given other useful information. A feature of the arrivals was the display of unique banners and and accounterments carried by many of the singers. Many of the singers wore white caps, others white coats, some carried canes, others umbrellas, but there was no attempt at uniformity in dress. The Hammond saengerbund wore white caps. Many of the singers carried old fashioned German windhorns slung to their belts, and these relics of the good old hunting days attracted considerable attention. Others carried steins, but for that matter the local board was capable of furnishing an unlimited supply of these useful instrumnts. One society carried as its mascot a stuffed cat set on a pole and holda fish in its mouth. Many of the women marched in the parade along with their husbands and sons, but most of them preferred to walk on the sidewalks or ride to headquarFORESTER'S PICNIC. Special to Lake County Times.

Sweeney returned from Muslake district, in Canada, where he has been spending his vacation for the last month. He was surto hear that Deputy ProsectuMeeker had threatened to have him arrested for authorizing the use of a sein to remove fish from Cedar Lake. The charge was not that the fish warden used a sein to remove the unfish from the river but that bass, pickerel and other game fish were not thrown back into the lake as should have been done. Instead the warden and his friends are alto have selected the choicest game fish of the haul for their own personal use.

This is the height of the season at the summer resorts and the hotels are crowded to utmost of their capacity and the numerous cottages are filled. T. E. Bell's cottage at Fon-du-Lac is the scene of many lithouse parties and the new launch is very popular. Rev. and Mrs. Jones are enjoying an outing at the Dells in Wisconsin and the Gromans are also there. B. L. P. Bell and family are having a good time at Winnebago. The Reiters and sevother Hammond people are spending many pleasant days at Sylvan Lake in Michigan. Thursday the regetta opens with "Venetian Night" at Macataw and Ottawa Beach and Tuesday Saugatuck will have a general illumination, and Waukazoo is to have a street fair two evenings this week. A number of our people will go over to attend some of these festivities. The Hammond people have dePeacock, Mich., and have gone farther north. South Haven comes in for a great many week-end parties and Sunday saw several people from here there. St. Joe and Benton Harbor still have a prominent place on the list of popular resorts and each week finds some of our young people there. The mid-season festivities are in full swing at Paw Paw Lake and we have representatives there--indeed Hammond is well represented at til the resorts. All Very Well, But The water has a charm for most people and the warm summer months take so many of our people to the reon Lake Michigan and the other big lakes and the smaller lakes are very popular too for they afford the same advantages for fishing, swimbathing and boating that the large ones do. The impression that might be gained from this is that Hammond and surrounding towns are deserted but such is not the case.

One who owns a touring car can look back from his position at the wheel and say without fear of contradiction to the happy family group in the tonneau: "I guess this is good enough for us." And why shouldn't it be?
