Gary News

Dr. Walsh is expected to return this evening. Contractor Moe has practically completed the brick work on the building he is erecting for Mr. Dellachleea. south of the Wabash on Broadway. The additional supply of school seats ordered by the board of education arrived today and will be Installed In time for school to open on Monday. M. A. Caldwell, the company's storekeeper and trustee from the r.rst ward. Is somewhat under the weather, owing to a bad cold contracted while on his Christmas visit. Several of the watchmen on the north side had an encounter with a couple of suspicious characters last evening. All the parties emptied their guns, but on account of the Intense darkness no harm was done. When the watchmen began to shoot the others took to their heels and no further trace of them could be found. Nash & Dowdla are rushing the concrete work on the ninety-six lnh main sewer where the sewer strikes the new channel of the river. Several large engines are pumping day and night to keep out the water and carload after carload of crushed rock and cement are being hauled in daily for the large bore. The mildness of the weather is proving a great Incentive to work and all of the contractors are pushing their work to the utmost, knowing full well that every day is possibly the last for some time. The men who are putting In concrete in the different parts of the work cover up their work every evening so as to avoid its freezing in case the weather should turn colder. Edward Jewell, treasurer of the board of education, is busier than ever these days. Ho has added reason for hustling and tells you proudly of the thirteen-pound girl that camo the Sunday before Christmas. Mrs. Jewell is doing well. They have but recently moved into the home lately purchased. It faces on Washington street in South Gary and has a pleasant outlook toward the Hobart road. , Dr. Templin, who recently located here from Hartford City, is reaping the reward that ' comts from careful attention to his work. During the absence of the other doctors, Messrs. Jones and Walsh, he has been kept very busy. Last evening lie was called to the home of a Hungarian family near the Pratt hotel. This morning the doctor announced that Gary has another young lady and the mother is doing nicely. Fllnk, who has been at work on the north side for a few days, returned to the Cook county hospital this morning. He came from there here, having been under treatment for some eight weeks for asthma. While trying to get to the doctor's ofnee last evening he nearly suffocated and was found by the postmaster, who chanced to lie passing. The latter took the man to the police station and sent for the doctor. Flink's home Is in New York, but he was employed in Fort Wayne prior to going to Chicago. Fred Gastel of Hammond and his youngest son spent this afternoon here. Fred was one of the ilrst men to do any work here, being the man who 'drove the first wells here before any one had moved In. He remarked upon the great change that had taken place and could hardly believe until shown the wells he had driven, that this was the place where lie had come last spring into a vast wilderness of swamps and sandhills. Nothing was to be seen, but here and there a stake set up by the first engineers and when Fred walked down to where the center of Broadway and Fifth avenue, then in a small slough, and had his picture taken with the Knotts brothers, he felt Just a little skeptical about the large city and the steel mills. Mr. Goff of the Indiana Harbor Lumber and Coal company attended to business interests here this afternoon. His firm will sell lumber only now since the Supply company has opened up for business. The rule established long ago that whenever any firm who established themselves permanently should become ready to begin business any men or firms in the same line of business in temporary locations must either close up or seek permanent places, is now being put In force. It is a wise precaution for it would hardly be fair to ask the man who has invested his money in or is paying rent for a permanent location, to compete with some little jobber who is paying no rent and is out nothing comparatively speaking, in the way of investment. Many of those who have had and now have concessions, have made handsome profits from their ventures without any risk beyond their time. STONY JLSLAND.
