You have just nine more days in which to make the selection. Nothing would jplelse Gary saloonkeepers any more than to have Santa Claus drop a year's liquor license in their stockings. Gary contractors have certainly had a season of glorious weather, and are hoping it will last for a few more months.

From this he rallied so that he was able to walk about his home unattended, until two weeks ago, when he began to fail slowly. Sunday his condition became rapidly worse.

Gary's $45,000 City Ball Bond Issue Brings Record Bids as Compared With Other Lake County Cities; Capital Han Gets Them. BUILDING TO BEGIN EARLYJEXT SPUING Town Board Holds Regular Meeting Yesterday Afternoon A. F. Knotts Gets Extension of Time on 'ContractCity Treasurer's Surety Is Raised to One Hundred Thousand Dollars. What is thought to be the best bid for a bond issue ever received by a city in Lake county was that received by the town board of Gary yesterday on Its 45,000 issue. The successful bidder proved to be J. F. Wild of Indianapolis, whose bid on the 4 per cent bonds was accepted. The premium he offered was $1,840.50.The bidding for the bonds was very heated and bankers from all parts of the state came to Gary yesterday in an attempt to purchase the bonds. Those who bid were E. C. Simpson, First National Bank of Gary; E. M. Campbell & Co., of Indianapolis; Miller, Adams & Co., of Indianapolis; Thomas J. Elliott & Sons, of Elkhart. The city regards the sale of the bonds as the best that lias been made by any city in the county up to this time. The bonds of the city of Gary not only sold at par, hut on the 4 per cent issue they were given a premium of ?1,840.50 on ten-year bonds. The bidding of all the bankers present, however, hovered closely around the figure of the successful bidder, so that up to the last -moment they were not certain who would be awarded purchase. BeKia limildingr Next Fall. The $45,000 bond Issue which was made by the city yesterday is for the construction of the new city hall which will be built in the spring. The plans for the city hall have now been drawn up by the architect and have been accepted by the city. The city has given up the idea of constructing the building this fall, however, and will defer the construction until next spring. They thought it advisable, however, to have the money on hand when they are ready to build. The only other business transacted by the board was the extension of time granted to Attorney A. F. Knotts, of the Gary Construction company, for the construction of Fifteenth avenue, Massachusetts street and Jefferson street. He was granted an extension until August 1, as the board decided that they were in no hurry for the streets. City Treasurer L. A. Bryan will also be asked to Increase his bond to $100,000. The treasurer is expected to provide a bond to the extent of double the amount of money which Is likely to be In the treasury at any one time. Recently this amount was $30,U00, so that the bond should have been at least $60,000. CAT AND DOG SHOW IN CHICAGO. Chicago, 111., Dec. 16.

The first night they apent In Fisherman Fred Berg's house at Xavanaugh, a point on the line of the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend line, where .it crosses the Calumet river west of Gary.

ignt was spent in revelry. Berets man about 50 or SO years old, and some time Ago his place was raided ixs a blind pig and a quantity of liquor confiscated. It is understood that the girls have visited the place before. GIRLS SEEK ADVEKTTRES. It was the wild npirit of adventure which impelled the two Hammond girls to leave their homes and 'go to live with the fisherman in his houseboat on the river. Annie . Schmidt, who lives on Hoffman street, has the reputation of being a wild girl. It is .believed by the police that it was she who led the other girl astray. She is known to associate with other girls, well known to the police, and is believed to have been responsible for the downfall of the little brown-haired, blue-eyed girl who was her companion In the escapade. It is not at all unusual to hear of boys running away to become Indian fighters, but for two 16 year old girls to engage in such an escapade is very unusual. And they went the limit in playing "cowboy girl." They not only hunted out a secluded spot in the woods, but they secured the proper dress and carried real revolvers which shoot real bullets. CARRIED OUTFIT IX SLIT CASE. The girls are believed to have left home Monday afternoon. They carried a suitcase with them In which they had the two "cowbox girl" costumes. When they arrived at the lone fisherman's houseboat they at once changed their clothes and put on the brown woolen skirts and the woolen shirtwaists, bandana handkerchiefs were placed about their necks and the broad-brimmed hats were adjusted. If a stranger had met the girls on a lonely country road, there is little doabt that he would suspect he was about to be held up. The girls epent the first day roaming about the woods and secured their meals from the fisherman. Monday evening they had a hilarious time over the bottles of beer and whisky which were always available. GIRLS ARE BROUGHT BACK HOME. Tuesday night, however, the two humiliated girls were confronted by Captain Bunde and Officer Han ion and were taken back to Hammond. The discovery of the hiding place of the two girls was brought about by the mother of one of them, who reported their disappearance to the- police. Some one tipped off the fact that they had gone to Fisherman Berg's place at Kavanaugh. The anxious mother awaited the . return of her daughter and last night learned the full particulars of the girl's adventure. The girls and their parents were ordered to appear in the city court this morning and explain the adventure of Monday night and Tuesday. On the promise of the parents that the girls would be compelled to behave In the future, they were released. INDIANA HARBOR I. 0. T. M. ELECT OFFICERS FOR 1909.
