FROM NEIGHBORING TOWN AND CITY
crown point news I Buyers Plentiful; Horses Absent. Buyers were plentiful at the horse sale yeBterday but the usual number of farmers and horses were conspicuous by their absence. Probably not over twenty horses changed handsd urIng the entire day and most of the interest was centered on a bunch of mules that a traveling dealer brought to town for sale or trade. No accidents were reported and the July sale, as customary, passed into history as being one of the smallest of the year's monthly sales.

More About That Meet. The Chicago Daily News of last evening has the following to say about the proposed automobile races to be held on the Crown Point. Lowell and Orchard Grove course, and while it contains nothing that has not been already reported In these columns, it shows that the interest in the affair has not waned in the city end of the line and their desire seems to be as great as the Lake county people to bring the event to a successful termination. "Through his ally in Crown Point, Harold Wheeler, Chairman Gunther has
been advised that the petition that is being circulated among the farmers living along the course has met with great favor and that already it is a lengthy document. Wheeler declares that th little town of Lowell, 1,800 inhabitants, is all worked up over the race, and that every voter in the town has put his name to the paper asking Governor Hanly to order out the militia to guard the course. "With this string of Lowell signatures attached to it, the petition is being circulated around the course, which is twenty miles in length. The farmers are signing it without a single protest. Wheeler says, and if their views have any weight with the governor and It is thought they will the course part of the race is as good as secured. "Advices from the east state that the powers that be in the American Automobile association are well pleased with the idea of sending the Thompson cup race out west, and the Chicago Automobile club is credited with a bit of enterprise in being the first to make application for the contest. It is suggested that A. G. Batehelder of the A. A. A. racing board, that the Chicago Automobile club work in harmony with the Indiana State Automobile association and the car manufacturers of the Iloosier state, which would give the local people a powerful lever at the state capitol. "Chairman Gunther expects to have the petition In hand for the next step inside of a week, when plans will be made to bring it before Governor Hanly for his consideration."
T.OWELL. Andrew Balrd, a well known and prominent farmer, died at his home i Eagle Creek township Monday night. Mrs. H. S. Barr of Crown Point, accompanied by her aunt.

Clifford Clark, who works in Chicago, is at his home here, nursing an accident to two fingers which he had hurt in a planning mill a few days ago. Guy Brownell is carrying one of his hands in a bandage on account of a gathering on it. Blackberries are getting ripe and the woods are full of pickers. The indications are that there will be a plentiful crop. A number of farmers have begun cutting their oat crop, which with their
hay crop that has been delayed on account of unsettled weather, makes them a very busy people.
Arrives In Gary. E. C. Thomas, who comes from the East, has been hired as chief chemist of the Indiana Steel Company and arrived in the new steel city last night. He begins work today and he and his wife wi!l live in the Gary hotel until they are able to find a house.

Case Is Postponed. The famous Huddleson case, in which the Gary Land Company sought to evict Chrales Huddleson and his wife from the Land Company's residence in the first subdivision, came up for trial
in Judge Westergreen's justice court
in Miller today and was postponed for
week.
This particular case is one in which
the six watchmen employed by the Land company were arrested for tresspass by Huddleson after they had removed his furniture.
The case was postponed on account
of the sickness of Huddleson's wife. It is understood that Huddleson filed an application for an injunction in

spending several weeks with friends and relatives In the eastern part of the state, returned home yesterday. His
daughter, Emily, who was with him

Wants to Stop Race. To offset the good news from Chicago concerning the automobile races, It is said that a south county farmer has started a petition, which, however, is meeting with poor success, to get signers against allowing the proposed course to be used for that day and race. It is certainly showing a lack of public spiritedness to attempt to circulate a petition against an event which seems to be in favor with the entire community, and it is to be hoped
that the rumored petition will meet
the fate It deserves. No great harm can come to the roads and the farmers wil certainly rest and enjoy one day's good sport and as there is nothing against them oral side of the af
fair any objection to holding it on our
country roads cannot be considered in any other light than that of a per
sonal lack of interest in the commun
lty's welfare and a pure piece of con
trariness.
Experiencing Much Trouble. Miss Lizzie Shubert. a young lady
working ror t will Meeh tamlly on Main street, is experiencing a great
