Snow in Gary. Big? Well, we should say so! Gary is so big that it is in two zones, the frigid and the temperate. This morn ing the entire northern part of Gary was covered with two inches of snow, while in Tolleston there was no snow at all. This is attributed to the fact that warm, moist air off the lake come in contact with the cold air on the land and caused a precipitation of snow in the territory near the water.

JUDGE IMS WE HHTION
Judge V. S. Reiter of the Lake superior court has written to the old soldiers' home at Milwaukee, Wis., to learn something more of the habits and character of William Horn, who is charged with a number of burglaries in Hammond. Horn is said to have told the judge that ho did not know why he had acted as he did in Hammond. He said that while he had been a drinking man all of his life that he had never been drunk and that he was not drunk at the time he committed the thefts. He says thathe cannot account for his conduct excepting on the theory that some one gave him some knockout drops and that he committed the thefts when he was not in his right mind. The judge thought enough of his story to write to the old soldiers' home at Milwaukee, and if a gooj report is received he will probably deal lightly with the old soldier.

MAY HAVE $j COMPETITION (Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Nov. 17. There are prospects of the Western Union having competition in Indiana Harbor and East Chicago. The Postal Telegraph company Is Investigating the
situation and may open up offices in the Twin Cities. This came out at the meeting last night of the Commercial Club of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago, when C. E. Fowler, as chairman of the transportation committee, reported that he had received a communication from the Postal people to the above effect. Mr. Fowler had correspondence with both the Western Union and the Postal people, but the former was a one sided correspondence. The Western Union did not do Mr. Fowler the honor to even reply to his letter, while the Postal people seemed very much' interested, explained that the idea of establishing aft office in East Chicago and Indiana Harbor had been presented to them, but that they would gladly make inquiries looking to the establishment of an office, if the business likely to accrue would seem to warrant it. All of the manufacturers to whom Mr. Fowler has written have shown a lively interest in the matter, and it seems likely that something will come of the correspondence. The people here have long ben dissatisfied with the meagre service afforded by the Western Union people and would welcome any change that seems to promise improvement. Especially at Indiana Harbor does the dissatisfaction prevail, there being more business here, and the Western Union maintaining only a railway operator, who is forced to let private messages lie until he gets the railroad business, which is of necessity his first consideration, off his hands. It is declared by those who are In a position to know that in no city In Indiana, of equal size, Is the telegraph service so inadequate as in these cities.
