Gary City Fathers Meet for Last Time in Minnesota Block.
The closing scenes of the legislature
at Indianapolis were adequately de
scribed last nfght by President Knotts
upon his return from Indianapolis,
where he himself met with a misfor
tune that probably would never have
been made public had he been able to
change his clothes before his friends
at the Denison hotel saw his condition
"No, your suspicions are all wrong; for at the time it happened Mr. Knotts
could walk a' six-inch plank as easy as any of the rest of us and it was purely an accident. It happened "thusly." The president of the town board of Gary and her most energetic and effective legislator for the superior court, was hurrying to catch a Monon train to return home that evening. Tumble Into Hidden Hole. About a block distant he caught eight of a car on another streeet that would materially assist him in reaching the depot in tim'e to catch the train homeward. He was hurrying along as fast as his gear and wind would permit to catch that car. Just as he was about to cross the street to be on the right side to stop it, his foot struck
" ana rapidly ascended while his head and shoulders were sunk in a fcur-foot excavation which was partly filled with water. In the meantime his suitcase had taken wings and finally alighted in a school house yard about sixty feet distant. The excavation had been made for a new car track which the streeet car company was laying on that street and was hidden in the darkness. Mr. Knotts gave up the idea of trying to catch that train and returned to the hotel. All efforts not to reveal his condition, as said before, were in vain and for the next few hours he was the subject of the most unmerciful jests.
The Gary town board met yesterday for the last time In the Quarters
in the Minnesota block, and so much
sentiment was there about the meet
ing that little business was transact
ed, even with President Knotts hark
In the chair after a long absence.
The city clerk's office and the rec
ords and equipment thereof will be
movea 10 tne bank building on Broadway today. The citv treasurer hns
already moved Its office, and the city business will be in full swing at that place, beginning today.
At the meeting: of the town hnaH
yesterday, a large amount of bills were gone over by the board, and some of them were allowed and others were held up for investigation. It was de.
cided to hold a special meeting some
time this week for the pumose of tak
ing some action on street assessments
ana oiner important business.
It is likely that at the sneolal moot.
ing of the board to be held this week the matter of acceDtinar the
ports of the city officials will be taken
up ana some action taken. It is planned by the city to publish their annual
reports just as soon as thev can he ex
amined by the town board. This will be the first official record of the town administration since Gary was incorporated. The book will probably prove very Interesting to those who have been watching the growth of the city for the past few months.

session of the legislature at Indianapolis, it will be by no means synonynius with having any yellow feeling
whatsoever. The citizens of Gary entered into the court fight determined to win. It might be said that, Gary being a new city, they had everything against them. All through the session of the legislature Messrs. T. E. Knotts and George E. Manlove and other Garv ritlnc
went to lobby for a Gary court, labored
incessantly. At times it looked verydark indeed but this made them work all the harder. In the end all the court bills were defeated. Gary. Hammond and Crown Point, and Lake county must do the best they can until some future time when conditions ix.ni
relieved.
Take Defeat Gracefully. "It was no disgrace to loose" ti,..'.
the way the citizens of Garv feel nht
the situation. "We put up a magnificent fight and we lost." That is the sentiment that is heard evervwher ir,
Gary since the legislature adjourned. All credit must be given to those who
worKeu ror the court in Garv.

The deal has been pending for some
time past as Mr. Cole wished to secure a suitable location in Tolleston to
Mart in me uvery Duslness on an extensive scale. Plans are now being prepared for larsre additions to ti
present stables and it is Mr. Cole's intention to have one of the finest liveries and auto garages in Tolleston or Gary. The former Hecker livery is
located on Martha street in Tolleston. The present building will be moved to the rear and a new building will be
erected as soon as possible. Not onlv
will Mr. Cole go into the livery business but he will deal In automobiles and he will have them for hire, having
headquarters at both Tolleston and
Gary in the future. Bum ien Ilut-k

The friendship of Damon on t

friendship of E. J. Buffington, president of the Illinois Steel company. and Jackson K. Dering, vice president .nH
general manager of the nrir. ot
company, when the latter rnrnnmii.n
went Into the hands of a receiver last week.
The two men were bovhonri fr,on
and colege chums and their friendship had long endured. Everv snmmor
several years they have taken long vacations together, hunting ta v,,
I O nailing In northern woods.

This Beautiful Baby Carriage, only $6.75 which is considerably less than cost. The former price was $15. It is expensively upholstered and built in an expensive manner and on modern lines. It is a Carriage that is good enough for any man and one that the young mother will never be ashamed of, on the contrary she will take pleasure in it. It will last a long time and always be in style, and it will be a question of time when the little baby will commend the judgment of the mother. The Carriage is offered as a leader. It is but one of theattractions o f o u r March Furniture Sale. We have big bargains all along the line. Come early and see them.
