Copy Local Postoffice Robbery. Carrying out the modus operandi of the recent robbery at the postofflce here, to the minutest detail, the safeblowers that successfully plundered the safe of F. C. Brown, who runs a cigar store at Thirty-first street, Chicago, are thought by several Crown Pointers to be the ones implicated In the local deal. In both cases strong charges of nltrigycerlne were used, wet blankets to muffle the sound were also used, and as thought in the local robbery, three men turned1 the trick that netted them in the neighborhood of $300. They made a successful get-away, using an automobile and left enough evidence to show that they were skipping around the country pulling off their safe cracking stunts. It is reported that Mrs. Lenora Hart has recently purchased the Ward prop erty on the corner of Court and South streets for a consideration of $3,000 and will make extensive improvements on the place and property in the near future. The lot is ideally located and is one of the choice residence proper ties to be transferred during the last month. The diplomacy board of the several committees arranging for the automobile races over the Crown Point course next June, held an important meeting at the court house assembly room last evening and made substantial plans and arrangements, along their line for the successful conclusion of the race. Everything is progressing in first class shape all along the line and the sue cess of the big event is now assured. The town seems to be divided against itself in regard to the street paving proposition and the angles that the question assumes would take a mighty wise mathmatician to solve. Some want paving if they can get it free. some want it if they can only get a chance to pay for it, while the main kick comes from the people who have paid for paving once, and are now paying on the free township roads and still are asked to dig up on the special ' assessment plan of improvement. Then others are satisfied to wallow in the mud. There is some talk of removing the old iron fence railing around the court house square, the question of which was advocated in these columns some time ago. While not wishing to deprive the users of the same, of a hitching place, it is the opinion of many that the fence is an eye-sore and an absolute and antedated contrivance that the appearance of the square and the benefit to the pavemen could be materially helped. Dr. Charles Tinkham. Herman Lehman and N. Bieker have been appointed by the town board as viewers, over the roads and properties along the interurban right-of-way in the town of Crown Point. It is reported that little Ruth Allman has been taken to a Chicago hospital to submit to an operation. The friends of the family and little girl In question are hoping for a successful operation and speedy recovery. It is said the Harts on South street will add another automobile to tneir garage this summer. Mrs. Cora A. Lincoln is quite sick at her home on Court street and under the doctor's care. Frank Daily is visiting relatives in town. William Nicholson is confined to his home with the grippe. Eight couples is about the average number to secure marriage licenses here per day. We prophecy that it won't be long before Crown Point and Gary people are "gettin' up" trolley parties to visit each other. New readers are being added to The Times in Crown Point each day, without doing any "bugle blowing'' for them either. Some one's stray cow has been on mighty depredations lately to the sorrow of many a well kept lawn in Crown Point. Count your bossies, please. ROBERTSDALE. Rev.

WHITING NEWS

Death of Allen Biggs. The death of Allen Biggs, which occurred at St. Margaret's hospital after an illness of only two weeks with pyenia, was, indeed, a great shock to the Whiting people. Mr. Biggs was formerly a resident of Woodvllle, Ind., near Valparaiso, where his mother and other relatives now reside. About two years ago he was married to Miss Gardner of this city, and has since resided in Whiting, with the exception of a few months of which they resided on Houston avenue. South Chicago. The body was brought over from Hammond and taken to the Gardner home in New York avenue and John street, where the couple had lived since moving back from South Chicago, about two months ago. Mr. Biggs, who was 27 years old, was universally popular. His funeral, which will be held tomorrow (Friday), will be attended by many Valparaiso people. The interment will be at Oak Hill cemetery, Hammond. Fortnightly Club. The regular meeting of the Fortnightly club was held at the home of Mrs. Sam Campbell of Pennsylvania avenue with one of the largest attendance the club have had this year. The subject of the program for the evening, "The Trend of Our National Life in Woman's Realm," was, indeed, an excellent one, and under this head several papers were read. The first paper, which was to be read, was "Woman in the Profession," by Mrs. Joseph Allen, but she failed to respond. The next on the program, "The Wage-Earning Woman," by Mrs. W. A. Tipton, brought forth a lengthy and able discussion. Mrs. Charles D. Davidson gave the next paper on "Woman as a Political Factor." This paper brought up several good points in the woman's favor, and the subject was discussed liberally by the members present, and the majority decided that women as a political factor would be invaluable if she were once given the opportunity to show what she could do. The last paper of the evening was by Miss Lila Schoeneman, president of the club, on "Our American Girls." The paper was excellent, and was, indeed, appreciated by all in attendance. Arrangements were made for the annual banquet of the club, which is to be held on April 17. The members will go to. Chicago in the afternoon. At 5 o'clock an excellent dinner will be served at the Palmer House, which will be liberally interspersed with toasts, which the members are preparing.
