A. teams and the Lion store and Homewood fives played on Cox's alleys last night proved to be the most exciting games rolled during the tournament.

Many were disappointed when they arrived at the alleys to find that they could not possibly get close enough to witness the games. About 8 o'clock the teams entered and made their way through the crowd to the players' benches. From the time the first ball was rolled down the alley, every man's eye was centered upon the bowlers. The crowd went wild at times when the games became so close that It required perfect bowling to win put. ". . The Simplex team won first prise in the tournament and stood head - and shoulders above any other contesting team. Ill last night's contest with the II. A.

GREAT WISCONSIN LAND OPENING

350.0OO Acres In Sawyer County, Wlconsln, Heleaaed for Settlement.

f&50 TO f20 PER ACHE AND EASY TERMS. Tielding to" the urgent and unceasing demands of homeseekers, the lumber interests have at last released for settlement an enormous acreage of rich undeveloped land in the heart of Wisconsin's great dairying and big cropproducing section. The American Immigration Company of Chippewa Falls, Wis., has secured this great body of land and is offering remarkable inducements to settlers and Investors. The land is equal in productive power to land that commands $100 to $150 per acre in Iowa. Illinois or Ohio. The company is selling off this land at the remarkably low valuation of $6.50 to $20

per acre. The terms are one-fourth to onethird cash and the balance in ten years. This is an opportunity unparalleled In recent years. A man with a few hundred dollars and a determination to win can get one of these splendid farms and be independent in a few years. There Is timber to be cleared away, but much of it is valuable hardwood, which can be turned into money at the nearby sawmills. The timber can thus be made to pay for the land and provide lumber for farm buildings and fences. Settlers In the Round Lake country have the advantages of ?ood markets, railroad facilities, telephone and mail service, schools, churches and good neighbors. It is a country of abundant rainfall and the purest of water. Hundreds are headed for the Round Ike country. Sawyer County, determined to get a fresh start in a new country, where every man has a "ground floor opportunity."

team score. N-

In losing three games the H. A. A.

team was forced to roll another three

game series with the Homewoods, the

two teams being tied for second place.

After the regular games had been disposed of and the awarding of the prizes had been settled, the H. A. A. and Homewoods lined up for the roll off for second, place. Again the crowd became restless and cheers rang out for both teams. Some of the players were nervous at the start of the contest, but toward the end, when every pin

counted, the men settled down and roll

ed the best they knew how. The Home-

woods won out in the first game, but

the other two went to tne H. A. A.

five and they were given second place.

The Lion store and Homewood fives contest was both Interesting and excit

ing, all three games ending with a close score. Conkey's high score of 228 won the $5 prize awarded the man rolling the highest score during the tourna

ment.

The tournament held on Cox's alleys

was a success, and it did more to es tablish Interest among the local bow

lers than any other bowli.ig event ever pulled off in Hammond. All business men are Interested in the -sport, and the alleys at Cox's are kept busy at all times. Mr. Cox stated today that he

expected to start a two-man bowling

John Brennan, agent of the Inde

pendent Brewing company, came very nrar being killed this morning in a

moat unusual manner. That he es

caped without a scratch is little more

than good luck.

In placing one of' the heavy iron

beams on the interior of the old part

of the Tapper block the ironworkers shoved it against the front wall of the building, and then after making a place

for it 'to rest hammered it to make it the proper length.

The result wag that a piece of orna

mental stone on the adjoining bull ling was jarred loose and fell to the sidewalk. John Brennan happened to Le walking by and the heavy stone brushed his shoulder and' missed hitting him bj not more than an inch.

The accident was one that would

not have happened once in a lifetime.

and outside of the fact that the ornamental stone will have to be replaced there was little damage done.

"Mr. IX Gring purchased the plant

Mr. Pratt went on to say that Mr. Gring has had a great deal of experience in the business, and it is possible that he will decide to continue the operation of the plant. The suggestion was made to him that in view of the fact th at most of Mr.

It is expected that the building operations which have been delayed on account of the unseasonable weather will will take on a renewed activity as a result of the appearance of the sun and the disappearance of the rain. On nearly all of the buildings in the

; city that were in the course of coni struction, the bad weather has delayed

operations. It was impossible to work on either the inside or the outside of the new court house. The work on the Tapper building was suspended for a couple of days in spite of the fact that the building is under roof. The work on residences and flat buildings was greatly delayed, and it is possible that building operations In the city have been delayed for

two weeks as a result of the rain. Contractors say that the farmers are not the only losers as- a result of the cold weather and rain.

of the six trustees will be divided, 4

to 2 in favor of the people's ticket against the independent democrats. The

Illinois law, however, takes the contest for the office of village clerk out of the hands of the board and puts it

into the hands of the county court. The

people's ticket in the trustee contest

enjoys an unusual advantage, in that

John Giczewski, a candidate on the

people's ticket, is already a member of

the incumbent board and can vote to succeed himself. Threat and Intimidation. Members of the independent party say that threats and intimidations have been made by followers of the people's party to the village board in order to assure a favorable vote tomorrow night for the candidates of the people's ticket.

The West Hammond village election i

was held a week ago y yesterday and was unusual in that the Australian ballot contained the name of only the candidates on the independent ticket, the naffes of the candidates on the people's ticket and citizens' ticket having been omitted because they failed to make the proper returns after the primaries had been held. Finneran denied the report that he

has withdraw his contest. Finne

said to a Times reporter this morn

"You may say for me that I am going

to see this thing through. I have not decided to drop the contest, and I don't propose to do so." A report had been circulated was to the effect that Martin Finneran had decided to withdraw and permit Ignatz Mankowski become the clerk of the village of West Hammond. This would

also have meant the eelctlon of Paul Kamradt, John Goxewski and Joe Okray. The fight in West Hammond over the election is growing more bitter every day. There are charges and counter charges made against the leaders on both sides, and both sides seem determined to have it out with the other.

Elks acted as pall bearers and others marched "iiv a body ahead of the hearse from the house to the depot.

POLICE ENFORCE RULE The police are now enforcing the regulation that all automobiles must stop on the right side of 'the street. This rule is being enforced by the po

lice officers, and when a machine is !

stopped on the left side of the street the owner is ordered to turn it around. The traffic on Hammond streets has become so great that it is now necessaryifo eniorce this order. For instance, if a man is going north on Hohman street he cannot pull over to the left side of the street' and stop his car without turning it so that it will

bp pointing southward. The theory is-that when a man starts his car he cither goes ahead with the stream. of traffic on the right hand side of the street or turns around and finds himself in the stream of traffic on the other side of the road.

About nineteen years ago she married Ketcham in this city. Mr. Ketcham was then employed on the Monon railroad, but he now holds a responsible position with the Indiana Harbor railroad. Mrs. Ketcham, whose maiden name was Annie Irion, had many friends in this city. She had many fine Qualities and a generosity of spirit
