"It will not be. necessary for us to serve you. the voice stated, "if you will agree to be here on time." . 'It will not be necessary for us to wanted In these cases, for I don't know anything about them," protested Brennan. "Well, if you won't agree to come we will have to serve you," the man In the sheriff's office replied. "Now," said Brennan, "I am quite positive that I am not the right one but If you are sure I will agree to be in Crown Point on the proper day." , - Still doubtful as, to whether or not he was the person wanted, Mr. Brennan arose early one morning and wended his way to the interurban station where he ; started for , Hammond. ' After arriving there still lingered a vestige of a doubt in his mind that he could not possibly be the man wanted to come before the grand Jury so that as a last chance before making the final plunge to Crown Point he dicided to communicate with the sheriff's office at Crown Poln. V A I very brief investigation at this time showed that John Brennan of Gary was not wanted but that the summons was for. a Brennan residing in Tolles-

Mr. Mannix took the precaution to have circulated in Gary what was really acounter petition against. a remonstrance in the form of withdrawal cards. These were placed in the principal business houses in the city and all of the patrons of these places, were asked to sign them. In thjsifianner It is said that over half. of. the voters have declared themeelTes against a contin-j ued dry spell in Gary as well as protecting Fiemselves In case It is found that they have signed the document through misrepresentation.
