I Albert, Bormann of Hobart, came over this afternoon for a short visit. He and his brother Otto, are pushing the erection of their building at Tenth avenue and Broadway.

The strike situation on the several different lines of work Is much the same as It has been for several days. "Work on the plant site continues unhindered as well on a large part of the work on the town site, the strikes affecting but certain parts of the work on the contracts on the town site. In fact a large number of the people here know nothing of there being a strike on at any part of the work, showing how little it is really felt, save by thoso directly Involved. Attorney Heart Is just now patting Mmself on the back so to speak, and Incidentally two Italians who were tried on a charge of being drunk have been released, the verdict which the Jury brought in having been set aside. Luke and Steve Kobloch were arrested Saturday evening and put in Jail, the charge being drunkenness. Charles Flagg of Prosecutor Boone's office at Hammond, came over yesterday morning to assist Attorney Barden in the handling of the cases. "When the case of the Kobloch brothers was called, their attorney, Gus Heart, asked for a jury and agreed to the taking of six men. Six men were brought in and the trial proceeded, no defense being made whatever. The jury were charged by Judge Fitzgerald and within three minutes brought in a verdict of guilty assessing the fine at $1 and costs. Then Attorney Heart took advantage of tho part of the statute which denies a man on trial on a criminal charge the right to waive tho number of Jurors who shall sit on his case, it being mandatory that twelve jurors be called. The prisoners were declared free after Judgo Fitzgerald set aside the verdict. The attorneys in charge of the prosecution ara of the firm belief that they will never be caught napping again.

Watson says each of his wives cleaned the wallpaper a short time before she became ill and died. The paper has been examined by chemists, and Is found to contain a virulent poison.
