Melo Shertovich was arrested last right by tha police of the South Chicago station In connection with the murder' early Wednesday morning: of Charles Lindey at Ninetieth street and the strand.

Thomas O'Connell of Indiana Harbor stopped off here between trains this morning. Morris Kahn of Indiana Harbor has begun to ship in his stock of goods which he will install in his new store building at Seventh avenue and Broadway. The people of Miller have all of their preliminary work incidental to Incorporation so well in hand that they have decided to submit their matter to the board of county commissioners at its next regular meeting. At the regular shoot held yesterday by the officers the first change in the holding of the medals among the officers took place that has happened for several months. Chambers now carries the cold medal and Chief Martin the silver one. J. A. Brennan of Philadelphia came on this morning to push the work of letting the contract for his building at the corner of Sixth avenue and Broadway. The plans call for an elegant building, to cost about $15,000. Mr. Brennan already has several applicants for the building at handsome figures. Gust Landberg, the excavating contractor who has moved a large part of the dirt on the town site during the winter and spring, expects to complete his present contracts and move to new fields within a short time. He has moved several of the largest hills on the site. The large clam shell that has been standing to the west of Broadway, Just south of Fifth avenue for nearly a month, was moved over on the east side of Broadway this afternoon to remove from the Gary Building company's site at the corner of Broadway and Fifth avenue some of the sand that was dumped there when the machine went through there the first time. Schillinger brothers who have the contract for the erection of the building are pushing the work rapidly. Hatch & Son of Goshen, Ind., are pushing their contract for the building of the gravel road west Into Gary quite rapidly. A large part of the cutting and grading has been done and they expect to begin to spread gravel at an early date. Gary is enjoying the unusual benefit of having Hobart township build a mile of gravel oad into her territory. The contract had been let for the road some time prior to the annexation to Gary of the three sections of land that formerly belonged to Hobart township. The line of the Gary & Western railroad, a belt road that is to connect ttte north and south sides of Gary and thus afford the loop line for suburban service from Chicago, Is being surveyed. The route of the double track road will be Just north of the Mlchl- j gan Central line until it crosses Broadway and the loop will then swerve to the north in a curve until it taps the Lake Shore and Indiana Harbor lines. The plan calls for an hourly suburban service from Chicago through Hammond and other towns lalAnc that linft to darv and hack bv way of Indiana Harbor and South Chicago. Stanislaw Przbysz, a saloonkeeper in Washington street, just south of the Michigan Central tracks, was the victim a few days ago of sharp workers in drafts, the game netting them some over a hundred dollars, he being out that much besides protest fees on the draft. A draft had been sent from Wickett, Meier & Booth, a firm of Chicago attorneys, to F. A. Stuckum, another local saloonkeeper. The draft never reached Struckum, but turned up in the hands of a stranger who had at cashed at Przybysz's place. In the meantime the payment had been stopped on the draft at the bank on account of its having been missed, and when it turned up at the bank, was of course, no good. It came back to Przybysz and he had to take back the paper he cashed for the stranger. He is looking for the stranger and is taking very much to heart his loss. FIRST EMPLOYMENT AGENCY B.
