(Special The Times.) Toleston, Ind., Dec. 4. Not only are

there signs of a big real estate boom in Gary alone this winter, but all indi

cations point to the fact that in Gary's

sister town, Toleston, will be a mecca

for real estate transactions from this

time on.

During the past two days several

deals of importance have been consum

mated by the Borman-Waldron, real es

tate dealers, of Toleston. Yesterday

afternoon Mr. Borman closed a land deal wherein he purchased fifteen acres

of land on Fifteenth avenue, between

Chicago and Center avenues. The price

being paid was $1,450 per acre, mak

ing the total consideration of $21,7500.

The tract of land was purchased in

acreage from Mr. H. C. Lentz of Chi

cago. It will be subdivided at once and

the lots will be put on the market ear

ly in spring, when the owners expect

a ready sale.

Wilt Make Iftce Front. Messrs. Borman and Waldron pur

chased the property Just for specula

tion, and have already had several good offers made on the acreage at

a nice pront. but It Is their Intention

to hold their recent purchase and dls

posetof it in lots. Other sales made by the company are as follows: A seven

ty-two foot front by 231 foot deep lot on Borman boulevard and Grace street to Mrs. Ida M. Stebbins of Chicago. It

is the intention of Mrs. Stabbins early

in spring to erect two two-story brick stores and two cottages fronting on

Grace street, which will be for rent

when completed.

Another sale of two lots on Gracs

street was made to Miss Fanny Hitch

cock of South Dakota, who will build

a two-story trick store bul'd'ng and

cottag-3 on the property at once. It is the intention of Miss Hitihcock to start a home bakery in the new building when completed, and for temvorary

quarters she has rented the basement

under the Toleston hotel and wil

launch into the bakery business at

once.

An effort will be made to cater only

to the best trade, and it is thought tha

she will cecure patronage from the

Gary h-itols and restaurants in home made bakery goods. Other Deals Are Mmli.

Other deals of less importance have

been made of late by other real es

tate deali.-s in Toleston and the general

tendency points that from now on the real estate market promises to become

very active in Toleston. ; One of the chief causes for this, it 1

said, is on account of the completion of the Chicago, Lake Shore & South

Bend interurban, which will have cars

in operation by the 1st of January. Thl

is saia oy real estate men to do more

for the increasing in value of real cs

iaie in xoieston man any other rea son and cause a demand for the prop

ertles.

There are many ways to communicate with a person in a distant town. But the tele-

the

Ph

one is

quickest, most

satisfying arid it equals in value a personal visit. CHICAGO TELEPHONE COMPANY

over to the Lake circuit court at Crown Point. According to his own story, he served two years in the Tennessee state prison for grand larceny, and was later sent up to serve from two to four years for stealing a horse from John D. Rockefeller, the oil king, which was valued at $600. Having served two years in the Ohio penitentiary he got into a fight with his cell mate and almost killed him and consequently an additional sentence was placed on him. The police will make inquiries to learn whether the fellow is wanted elsewhere.

THE HAMMOND DiSTILLINO CO. daily CAPAcrry ao,ooo QAULONa

Ignorance of the law excuses no one, and it was demonstrated in a Gary

court that it may lead a man into deep water from which it will be hard to swim out. ' George Lusk was up for provocation yesterday and explained to the court that he did not know what the term provocation meant; that his wrongful act consisted of nothing more than merely pointing a revolver at Lucy Puryer, with whom he had been keeping company. Lucy Puryer was the plaintiff in the suit, who charged the prisoner with provocation. When he innocently stated to the court that he did not know what the term provocation meant and that he had merely pointed a revolver at her, the court and everybody in the room sat up and took notice. He was searched for a weapon, which was found on his person, and when asked to tell his story, said that he had served three, terms in the penitentiary. Realizing what sort of a character the court had to deal with, Lusk was placed under $1,000 bond and bound
