GIBSON TO '.GET ? , YAHDSjHHD SHOPS Old Rumor That Division Headquarters of M. C. Will go There, Revived
The rumors from Michigan Central's yards eating of them
regarding the moving City of the Michigan and shops, and the loat Gibson, are so per-
GLIDOENITES WHIP LONE JUNK DEALER Claim He Tormented Them by Blocking Road and Punishment Was Done.
railroad men have gento consider the thing as
istent. that rally comj
Settled.
Today the matter was discussed Ly
employes connected wiui tne roaa ana
they stated that the division headquarters were to lie located here, too.
It is sai'd that the railroad is great-
1- cramped for quarters at Michigan
City and that steps would have to be
taken at once, to relieve the congestion.
Of course the matter is being kept
very quiet by trie railroad omciais wno usually keep these things in cold stor
age until tnty nave completed au oi
their -plans.
It is apparent, however, that the t
Michigan Central contemplates this
change and that Hammond is to have
what will practically amount to another great industry before another year passes by.
All of the switching, freight and pas
senger crews will be compelled to live here and the employes of the shops will also have to become Hammond citizens.
Gibson will bo the headquarters of
two great railway systems and is destined to become one of the most important sections of Hammond.
The loss to Michigan City will be
quite a mow to trie town, iney win
have to accept the inevitable, however,
and the vigorous denials which always
follow the publication of the story that the, Michigan Central shops are to
leave will soon cease.
MILLERS PEOPLE HOUELECflOH Assert Their Right to Spend Their Taxes and Incorporation Resulted.
An incident not down on the itinerary of the Glidden automobilists occurred two miles south of Michigan City when an autoists and a Michigan City junk dealer got into a fracas, which resulted in the peddler receiving painful injuries. A party of five autoists suspected of being implicated in the affair, were apprehended at Valparaiso about noon. The man in charge of the party gave his name as O. W. Jay of St. Mary's. O. He denied knowledge of the assault and the rarty was allowed to go on its way after being detained about an hour. M. Allanson, the junk dealer, bears
visible evidence of rough handling. lie
was driving south on Franklin street, when one of the big cars came up behind him. Allanson declares lie did not hear or see the machine. There are others who say that Allanson knew the car was behind him and drove crosswise of the road to torment the autoists. The driver of the car brought his machine up alongside the wagon and snatching the whip out of Allanson's hand gave the Junk man some severe cuts across the face bringing
i blood from his nose and cutting deep I gashes in his flesh, Thowing the whip j at Allanson the party drove on. Allanj son complained that he was badly hurt
and was assisted back to the city by people who drove up and saw hfs predicament.
As a result of the action of the citizens of the village of Millers in rising up and asserting action of the citizens of the village
of Millers in rising up and asserting their rights to the taxes which have been expended in other parts of the county, and which culminated in the incorporation of the village on June 13. last, the village election was held yesterday and the following officers were elected. For trustee of the first ward. John Carr; of the second, Gustavo Anderson; of the third, Patrick Malone. Mike Zeylor was elected secretary and treasurer and the board will hold a meeting in the near future and elect a president.

Ortt & Towle have made such j great progress in their store on Hon- i man street that they have found it necessary to divide the business and ,' do part of it In one place and the rest in another. , For this purpose they have decided ; to open an establishment on the sec- I ond lloor of the Hammond building ! where they will handle women's shoes i
exel usi viMy. The new store will be modern and
up-to-date in every particular and the lirm will carry there the linest line of women's shoes in the city. The old store will be retained for thu sale of men's shoes and a larger stock will be carried than ever. The removal (of tle stock of women's shoes to the new quarters will make this
possible. j
Miss Kitti; Reilley will have a suite
of rooms net to this store and there
will bo an opening between the two
so that the customers lrom one store can go to the other and make what purchases they desire.
The plan of having stores of this
kind on the second floor cf a business
block is unique and it is doubtful if there is a parallel anywhere in the
country hereabout.
The plan has proven a great suc
cess in tne case at juiss i;euiey, noweven, and Mr. Ortt, who lias alreadywon tho patronage and confidence of the people, will probably do a thriv
ing business in his new quarters.

u onc is Doing pusneu on tne c nicago. Lake Shore & South Bend electric line.
i he track westward from Broadway is already laid and the poles are up.

operation. A steam engine, however,
will be used in place of electric mo

inis through electric line will cross
Broadway just south of the Lake Shore tracks and will follow the Lake Shore
all the way to Porter, where it will
cross that railroader at an elevation.
From Porter to Michigan City the line
is direct, and after passing through
Michigan City the line runs directly
east to South Bend. Westward from
j Gary the line runs parallel to and : north of Fifth avenue due west to East Chicago. It crosses the Calumet southeast of Grasselll and is elevated to j go over the Pennsylvania and Wabash 'tracks. From Hammond the lines goes j straight west on a private right of way
to the Illinois state line. There it
meets the railroad which is being built by the Illinois Central and leased to
the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend
for fifty years.
The power house of the new line Is
under construction at Michigan City
and it is expected that it will be com
pleted by April 1, next year, by which time nearly the entire line between
South Bend and Kensington will be
ready for operation.

HERMAN CASE STILL ON.
Judge Frost is listening today to the
evidence in the case of Edna Pearl Her
man vs. Idward C. Herman, charged with wife abandonment. Quite a crowd
was present in the court room to
listen to the rather spicy testimony
submitted on both sides. Attorney J
K. Stinson represented the defendant
and the plaintiff's interests were con
served by Prosecuting Attorney Boone The case will probably be concludes
late this afternoon when it is likely his honor will take the evidence under advisement for a day or so before deciding It. As considerable time was taken up In the discussion of minor details the court found it necessary several times to call a halt In the proceedings long enough to suggest that he did not care to hear irrelevant testimony.

Or. Dougal of Keith, who was made an honorary member of the Aberdeen society in 1795, had a reputation for bluntness. A talkative woman went to him one day and said to him: "Doctor, what is the matter with my tongue?" "Just needin a rest," he replied, shortly. On another day a patient went to him and complained: "I have a deal to suffer with my eyes, doctor," whereupon he answered: "Better suffer with them than without."

most unique picture, when playing, his skirts tucked up, with his two small boys and their little friends. Tennis, too, has been a great favorite with the minister, while he is also very much devoted to horseback riding. These last two accomplishments are rather rare among orientals.
