PETEE MM-LEn DEAD. .' The remains of Peter Miller, an old time resident of this place, were brought here for burial in the Crown Point cemetery yesterday morning, arriving on the Pennsylvania railroad. The deceased died from pneumonia in a Chicago hospital on Monday. The family lived in Crown Point several years ago and Mr. Miller, who was about 40 yers of age at the time of his death, was well known by many Crown Point residents. The deceased had a brother living in Valparaiso. His mother was burled here several years Ago.

TOWN BOARD MEETS. The town board met for their regular monthly meeting last evening and transacted a great deal of business. The letting of the East street and North street curbs was again postponed on GREAT WISCONSIN ! LAND OPENING 150,000 Acres In Sawyer Ooaaty, Wisconsin, Released for Settlement. .50 TO S20 PER ACRE AND EAST TERMS. Yielding to' the urgent and unceasing demands of homeseekers, the lumber Interests have at last released for settlement an enormous acreage f rich undeveloped land in the heart of Wisconsin's erreat dairying and bis cropproducing section. The American Immigration Company of Chippewa Falls. AVis., has s'ecured this great body or land and is offering remarkable inducements to settlers and investors. The land la equal in productive , power to land that commands $100 to 1150 per acre in Iowa. Illinois or Ohio. The company is selling off this land at the re markably 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 the 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 Lako 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 Lake country. Sawyer County, determined to get a fresh start In a new country. where evefy man has a "ground floor opportunity."

account of faulty bids being received and the failure of several contractors to bid on the work on account of the improbability of disposing of the bonds, a law being in effect that property owners could not be compelled to pay for curbing put in separately or at any other time than when' the street paving was done and under the same contract. The town health off leer, was ordered to investigate and compell all property owners who are using the Bezor ditch for sewerage purposes to stop the practice or be fined according to the law governing the same.

Property owners in arrears for water tax were ordered notified and the water supply cut off unless amounts due were paid. The usual number of bills were allowed and paid before the board's adjournment. The Bridgeport Knockers, a new baseball organization In Crown Point, played the Koch's Colts on July 4, and trimmed the latter team by the score of 28 to 9. The bridgeport -aggregation are after a game with the Business Men's team and indications are that a match will be arranged In the near future. The strength of each team is nearly identical and a good game Is assured the baseball fans should a contest be arranged. It begins to look as If North and East street property owners will be up against the proposition of letting their own contracts for street curbing as Individuals as the law recently discovered does not give the town officials the power to order the .work done, making the property owners responsible for payment, with this condition to be met It is a hard matter to get a contractor to bid on the work, unless he can be sure of his pay at the end of the work and although It is quite evident that there would be very little trouble in getting pay for the work, there is a loop hole for the property owners to crawl out ' anl the law could not compel them to pay for the improvement. Possibly a petition or an individually signed contract with the property owners for the work would lessen the degree of uncertainly in the minds of the contractors as to thia chance of their being reimbursed for the work. Architect Beers, of Chicago, transacted business In Crown Point yesterday. Rev. W. F., Hovis returned to his

SHUTS OUT ALL CORPORATION FUNDS Indianapolis, July 5. The finance commltte of the Republican state committee, at Is first campaign meeting, decided today not to accept contributions t the republican campaign fund from corporations. "We realize," said State Chairman Lee, "that the question of funds is a serious one. We do not expect to raise a large fund. In fact, we do not believe it will take a large amount of money to run the campaign. "The state committee this year started even, and it hopes by bare-legged and shivering economy to break even at the end."

POLITICIANS PULLING ALL GnRV WIRES

A brand new angle has arisen In the forth coming ordinance to add two new members to the Gary city council. As a result Tolleston may get only one alderman Instead of two. J tint m Few K now About It. The new developments have made the "olleston aspirants all the more anxious and over night there has arisen a couple of statesmen in the south end of Gary who would wear the municipal toga. By the time this story is read this evening it can be safely conjectured that. the crop will grow like a new mushroom and that when the sun sets Mayor Knotts will be target of a dozen anxious gentlemen who are willing to uplift the common people and wear the burdensome Hi of alderman. Bat Jot Walt a Minute. It has been thought all along that the council could name the two aldermen from Tolleston. The figures were to the effect that one would be a democrat and the other a republican. Where ever the councilmen come' from the chances are that each will represent different political parties. Frank Borman adn Walter Gibson were the democratic and WTllliam Kunert and August Hecker the republican aspirants from Tolleston. Until yesterday the frame up looked like Kunert and Borman but now this will

And she wouldn't if the kidneys were well. Doan's Kidney Pills make well kidneys. Here is a Hammond woman who endorses this claim: Mrs. Maggie Heckelman, 414 Truman avenue, Hammond, Ind., says: "For years I suffered from kidney disease and a lameness across my loins. At times I had severe attacks of backache and there was a dull, dragging down pain through my kidneys. My back was weak and in the morning when I got up, I felt so tired and languid that I could hardly begin my housework. Whenever I caught cold. It 'settled on my kidneys and made my condition worse. One day a friend advised me to try Doan's Krvlney Pills and I accordingly got a box at Summer's Pharmacy. I found prompt relief and I continued to Improve until cured. I am now enjoying good health." (Statement given March 4, 1907.) A SECOND STATEMENT. On Feb. 19, 1910, when Mrs. Heckelman was Interviewed, she said: "I still think highly of Doan's Kidney Pills.

probably be changed. Some 6f the councilmen have now become imbued with the idea that one regular alderman is enough for Tolleston an dthat the alderman-at-large should come from the "south end of Gary. The minute these thoughts were caught by telepathic processes Frank Zawadzki, Fourteenth and Broadway, who was the democratic candidate for city treasurer last fall entered the ring and he and his friends Immediately besieged the councilmen. The especial objects of the Zawadzki boomers were Walsh, Castleman, Siemasko and Szymanski, the four south end fathers

What promises have ben made cannot be learned but It Is understood that Zawadzki will have strong backing when the time comes. ' Then Ilaukun Geta Bony. The minute that Anthony Baukus, the contractor, received word at his residence. Sixteenth and Madison, that emissaries of Zawadzki were abroad trying to corral the aldermanship he

got busy. He began a systematic gum! shoe campaign and tried to keep his doings quiet but his democratic rival was kept informed on every move he made. Baukus is a republican and dabbled much in politics last fall. He considers that he is entitled to the job of coun-cilman-at-large and Zawadzki will have a hard run to beat him. Pole va. Lithuanian. Zawadzki is the king of Gary Poles. Before he came to Gary he was a detective on the staff of the chief of police of Chicago. He knows the game of polities from A. to Z ,and his repeated election as a general director of the National Polish Alliance makes him a figure known all over the country as far as Polish affairs go. Baukus, on the other hand, is a Lithuanian and is a leader among his own country men. But the Poles outnumber the Lithuanians ten to one in Gary. The Poles now have two representatives in the council and if either Zawadzki or Baukus climb Into the ship of state it will be six of one and a half dozen of the other. There Is a close racial band between the two peoploples. The Preaent Posnlbllfttea. It can safely be depended upon that the council will carry out Its program to have each of the two aldermen to be be appointed from different parties. Therefore, if Kunert is made the Tolleston representative Zawadzki who is a democrat, will undoubtedly b'e the alderman-at-large. If either Borman or Gibson, the Tolleston democrats. Is named as the alderman from that district, then the sun will, no doubt, shine on Baukus.

cupy the Bonsor property he was acting under Ballard's advice in the matter. Attorney White then charges that Ballard was In contempt of the Federal court and deliberately betrayed the rights of his client in moving into the house and by his alleged opposition to the sale of the property. White further charges that Ballard presented to Referee Bowers what purported to be a trustees report signed by Otto Borman and sworn to by Otto Borman before Homer M. Stanton setting forth that Borman, as trustee, had

received a certain amount of rent for

the real estate. Bowers is said to have telephoned to Borman and enquired as to whether he had collected the rent from Ballard and Borman denied that he had received the rent and that he had made an acknowledgement of the trustee's report before a notary According to White's letter to the

grievance committee. Atorney Stanton aferwards deniei Borman's acknowledgement and said that if his name was signed to the report it was a forgery. White further charges that Ballard appeared in Bowers court and attempted to deceive the court by filing a motion purporting to be a prayer of Borman's when Ballard was no longer the attorney for Borman. Says He Kept Money. The charges that John Jackson of Hobart makes against Ballard are that he retained Ballard to bring ejectment proceedings gainst R. B. Jensen and to start suit against him to collect J150 rent. It is claimed that Jensen entered into a compromise, of which Jackson knew nothing, by which he agreed to pay Ballard $75 .and all of the accrued costs in the case. It is stated that this agreement was made. Jensen now claims that he has paid the $75. to "Ballard as well as the costs in the case and that Ballard refuses to make any settlement with Jackson upon this collection. The costs, it is

claimed, still stand as a lien upon the property. Jackson asks that the Bar Association thoroughly investigate this matter. Charsril Exceaxtve FeeaT Adam Szuharowicz claims that he made a loan through certain Gary attorneys for $1,500 to cover some liens that were on his Gary property. He charges that Ballard suggested that he act as his attorney in disbursing this money."

Szubartowlcz agred and in the transaction he charges that Ballard included $150 for attorney's fees when he had not agreed to pay fhat sum. He claims that Ballard never told him that he had Included any such sum as $150 for attorney's fees in the bills he had paid. Attorney's Ross and Lotz of Hammond have been retained by Attorney Ballard to represent him before the grievance commtttee of the bar association. They claim the charges which have been preferred against Ballard are not in the proper form. That they should be in the form of affidavits and shoulj be sworn to. They state further that John O. Bowers is prejudiced against Ballard and that he should not be permitted to act as a member of the grievance committee to invesigate the charges against Ballard. Have Prejared Answer.

COMPANY

T

Last evening the Gary & Southern Traction company, through its attorneys, Wlldermuth and Carnduff. served notice upon Harvey C. Curtis, city attorney; Mayor T. E. Knotts; the members of the common council, Joseph D. Martin, chief of police, and others concerned to the effect that they would apply for an injunction restraining the city of Gary from interfering with the construction work on the right of way claimed by the company south of the Little Calumot river. This Is to be the culmination of a fight between rival street car companies for an entrance into Gary. The story of the fight has been threshed out very completely. When the city annexed the four sections, south of the river, containing the right of way in question it sought to annul the franchise held by the eSaman people. This franchise had been granted by the county commissioners to Messrs. John Brown, Herman Sasse and M. E. Dinwiddle of Crown Point and sold by

them to the Gary & Southern Traction companv. ; i The company has expended several ', thousands of dollars on Its tracks! south of the river and a large portion of the road bed is already con- ' structed. It has also sought permis- J sion to run its cars to Fourth avenue ! over the tracks of the Gary & Inter- ' urban company. The attorneys for the company will contend that the city had no right to ' prevent the construction of their line and that It ook he four sections con- ' tainlng the right of way in question '. subject to all the easements then upon j

not change the legal status of the evsted interests upon It at the time. The application was filed before Judge McMahan at Crowp Point this morning, and attorneys for both sides from Gary are in that city prepared to argue their case. It is not anticipated that the decision will be rendered today.

Jack Johnson cue winner of the battle at Reno Monday, is due in Chicago Thursday and there is a possibility that he may pay a visit to Gary on Friday or Saturday evening.

He will probably come down In his machine and will be accompanied by his white wifo.
