NOW

Winter Wi n ds Will Soon Be Blowing1 Do not wait until the snow impedes travel before placing your order for your winter coal. Why wait until it will be practically impossible for us to make prompt delivery on account of the drifts?. Another thing we say now what we have said before the price may advance and we will be forced to charge you more money. We have always carried the very best grades of both hard and soft coal and Scranton has always had our best trade.

HGRATE IS ARRESTED

Two Men Employed at the Standard Oil Plant Get Into Court.

(Special to The Times.)

In another week from today everyone in Gary will know just how much they got strung. Eggs In the local market have reached a figure at which only a. desperate and reckless man will order 'era scrambled. In all cases of doubt an uncertainty in buying your Christmas presents consult the suggestions of the advertisers in The Times. There are quite a number of people in Gary that no matter how well a person who has once fallen is getting along are always out with their little hammers. The Gary merchants are preparing for a great rush next week, but whether they will get it remains to be seen. The time is also growing shorter for the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend

in tneir struggle to reach Tolleston by Jan. 1. Jts just as well for you to begin now in making out a list of resolutions for Jan. 1st you don't intend to keep. "What has become of all the blind pigs in Gary? Isn't Jt about time for another raid? There are lots of people in Gary that, owing to the fact that they had to buy Christmas presents, will have to give up the idea of eating turkey. It's just as- well to have the snow shovel for you can never tell when one of them 're "northeasters" is liable to blow In. Officer Gus Newman has been so lonesome of late because he has no lawsuits to attend that he is actually growing thin. Turkeys in the windows of the Gary markets are not as fat, but they cost just as much. The fellow who bought his girl a nice piece of jewelry at Baldwin's, 660 Broadway, proved he was a wise "Rube."

GAEY BEIEFS.

The stores of Gary are doinsr their

Christmas window trimming and decorating and Broadway presents a very pretty effect. The difference between

the present metropolitan aspect and the street one year ago is very striking. Architct Walter Hudson yesterday pleaded guilty to the charge of trespass preferred against him hv Mr.

Rawles, the proprietor of the Rawles'

bhoe company. Mr. Hudson paid the fine assessed by Justice Townsley. Shoe Sale on now. See the R. & Sz. Attorney Clarence Bretsch was in ammond yesterday on legal business. Robert McHie, Hollls Hunter, Fred Ebert and Floyd Murray of Hammond saw the basket ball game yesterday played by the Gary high school on the latters grounds. They were there for the purpose of sizing up the strength of the teams. Mrs. Charles Quinn and daughter, Elizabeth, were the guests of Chicago friends today. Miss Caroline Culvert left yesterday morning for Indianapojis, where she will be the guest of friends for a few days. The last night of the Ladies' Guild rummage sale at the Paine building will take place tonight. Cut prices on Rubber Ware at the R. & Sz. Co., Fifth avenue. tf The Eagles held their election of officers last night in the I. O. O. F. hall for the ensuing year. The Gary merchants are preparing for a heavy business during the next week. For some unknown reason business for this time of the year has been very dull, but the business men are preparing for a busy time next week. Attorney Woodholm made a business trip to Chicago yesterday. C. W. Rothe of the Armour & Co. packing company was in Gary yesterday inspecting their new cold storage plant in Gary, which will be opened for business about Jan. 1.

BUSINESS MEN BORED BY CALENDER CRAZE.

"Please sir, have you any calenders?"

Whiting, Ind., Dec 19. Joseph LlV t, , I , . I . l ZLa .:J Iocal business men at least a hundred

on Thursday on the charge of assault and battery. Beenka was later released on $25 bonds to appear before Judge Jones this evening to answer the charges. The trouble between the two men was caused by trouble which started while both were employed at the Standard Oil company. Brezina had secured a position for Beenka at the Standard and had also loaned him his tools to work with. While Beenka was working with the tools another party stole them from him. Brezina compelled Beenka to pay for the tools, making an allowance every pay day. This seemed to be hard for Beenka to part with the money each pay day, and, although Brezina had befriended him, he grew to hate him, and finally committed the attack which will compel him to . appear in court. Brezina thinks "gratitude" an appro

times daily. The inquiries are directed from groups of two, three and four school-children who seem to make a practice of visiting every business man in the city likely to have any artistic souvenirs. The stock of calendars in East Chicago this year is exceptionally plentiful, as well as artistic, most of the business houses giving away as souvenirs the well-known art calendars of the Osborne company. The "panic" of last year does not seem to have affected the generosity of these merchants, for the inquiries of the school-children, bent on securing the largest collection of calendars, are usually rewarded by the gift requested. Just the same, the persistence of the youngsters is getting to be quite a bore to the business men of the city, who declare that if the children place their collections of calendars on the walls of their homes there will be no cal lfor paperhangers during the conj

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind.. Dec. 19.-The prompt action of Officer Rybecki of the East Chicago police department, last evening saved the life of Mrs. Sarah Westtendt, of South Bend, who was on her way from Hammond to Gary, where she intended visiting relatives. Mrs. Westendt had come from Hammond over the H-, W. & E. C. line, Intending

to board the Gary bound "South Shore"

cars at the Olcott avenue crossing. A

run-away horse, attached to a heavy

coal wagon, approached the cr just as

she was about to board the car and

had not the local officer grasped the bridal of the Infuriated animal and swerved Its course by several feet, the

woman would have been crushed to

death. In fact, passersby were as

tonlshed when they saw that the woman was alive and unhurt and were loud

in their commendation of the officer's

presence of mind.

The wagon and team was one belonging to Flack Bros., who maintain

a coal and grain business on Todd ave

nue. The team was left standing outside th epoetoffice building while the

driver collected mail, and were prob

ably frightened by a passing Harbor

car. Breaking into a fast pace, the animals headed stright for the large

Gary car. The officer's strength was not sufficient to swing the heavy wagon entirely away from the car and the platform step was grazed and broken by the wheels. One end of the wagon was badly broken, while, strange to say, the horses escaped uninjured. The harness 'outfit was also badly damaged by the tugging and pulling of the frantic brutes.

OFFICIAL GJUTT SOLVE II

(Special to Thb Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Dec. 19. East

Chicago again comes into the limelight of postal inspection by the visit of

Deputy Inspector J. M. Woltz of Lo-

gansport, yesterday. Mr. Woltz has

traced to the local office a registered letter which was lost several months ago in transmission between Chicago and East Chicago. Its departure from Chicago was recorded and the receipt of the registration also appears on the local records, but the letter was never delivered and nothing can be found tending to show what. has become of it. Mr. Woltz believes that the letter was lost between the local depots and the postofflce and lays none of the blame on members of the local postoffice force. The letter was one sent from Chicago last September to Miss P. La Chance, who was a guest at the home of Mayor and Mrs. De Briae of Magoun avenue during that month. Aside from some valuable memorandums, the letter contained $5 In currency, and Miss La Chance reported that the missive never reached her. The matter has been in abeyance in the postal department at Chicago for several weeks, but Ir. Woltz only received his assignment last week. He is unable to make any satisfactory explanation for the letter's disappearance, and Its value will doubtly be- guarantee dto Miss La Chance by the federal teed to Miss La Chance by the federal
