CROWN POINT NEWS County Jail Is Full, i With sixty-seven prisoners in the county bastlle, the present enlargement and improvement on that property does not seem any too large, and will not any more than meet with the requirements of the present number of prisoners. Lake county has grown in crime as well as in other things and probably in another few years a further enlargement of the jail will be necessary. The walls of the present building certainly look dungeon like, and it will take more than any ordinary 'cracksman to enter or get out. The structure still has begun to arrive and the operations that Have been delayed on the building for a week or so are in full swing now and each day makes a noticeable advance toward the building's completion. Calfax Lodge, F. and A. M., initiated three new members Into their order last night. Those who took the entered apprentice degree were: Joseph H. Cohen, John Dailly and Joe Rudloph. Two more candidates are in line for the third degree, namely Andrew Neuman and John Wise. There Is nothing new to report concerning the actual building of the frnwn Trlnt-Garv street car line. The commencement of operations is prob :ably delayed by the state of the money ' market, and the promoters of the project do not seem to be in any hurry to build the line. The failure of the : cnmmlstoners to annex the section of country south of Gary, to the river, will materially delav the game, as this has been the bone of contention, the pro moters falling to come to a. satis "factory agreement at the Gary end Of line. From all appearances nothing further -will transpire in-the matter "before next spring when Crown 'Point . ers hope to see the operation.s .of build lng the line will be tinder way. . The Crown Point Gun club will hold their rcsrular weekly shoot at their grounds, . west of town, tomorrow af ternoon.
