(Special to The Timks.) Indiana Harbor, July 12. A sensational story of being drugged and robbed of nearly $1,400 Is told by John Foro. a saloonkeeper doing business at the cornr of Guthrie and Cedar streets. Poro claims the job was done by two strangers, one of whom represented himself as a butcher who intended to open a shop In Indiana Harbor, and the other as a whisky agent. The latter he declares admiinstered a dose of doped whisky to him, which caused him to lose consciousness, and while under the influence of the stuff he de-

good deal and yesterday brought a ! friend whom he introduced as a whis

Poro, wishing to have enough money . on hand to cash his customer's checks, went to the bank at about 2 o'clock and drew out $900 he had on deposit
there, borrowing $190 from the bank.
The butcher and whisky salesman were in his place when Poro went to the bank, and Poro's wife acting as bartender during his absence. The men were still there when Poro ' returned, so he says, and he retired to a back room to count his money. While there the strangers, asked Mrs. Poro if they might go int othe room, as the whisky saleman had a brand of whisky he wanted Poro to sample. The liquor was poured out into a whisky tumbler, Poro says, drank by him and he fell back upon the bed unconscious. Some time later, his wife, wondering why her husband did not come out to relieve her, entered the room, found Poro asleep on the bed and the strangers and money gone. poro declares the
strangers must have slipped out by the rear door, as they did not go through the saloon while his wife was
tending bar.

A Pioneers Organisation.
The club was organized in Augus.,
1907 in the Binzenhof Ilall when there were only a half dozer homes occupied
north of the Wabash, and not over that
number of business houses in the entire
city. On November 25th of that year
we opened the Gary Hotel witn a b quet and had as our guests, the Gover
nor of Indiana, several Congressmen
and many men of note including the
western officials of the corporation.
"Gary Land," which will be sung by countless thousands yet unborn, was
dedicated to this club and sung for the
first time on tha iemorable night. Opened Gary Harbor. The second great event, not only in the history of the club, but of the city as well, was the opening of the Gary harbor and the receipt of the first cargo of ore. Those who came in the beginning, had been looking forward to that date. Those who were here ar.a had the privilege of making the trip, from out sister state across the inland sea. will never forget the Inspiring sight as the club, as host, with its full membership and celebrated guests sailed into the home port between a line of saluting warships and greeted by shouting thousands from the shore. Some Otber Big KventM. July 23rd, 1908 is known as Harbor Day. Through the courtesy of the Indiana Steel Company, this club had charge of that celebration. On November 2ath, 1908 the club visited several cities In Northern Indi

continuous round of dinners and excursions, fire works and brass bands. The club has fearlessly grappled with
grave civic questions, stood amid
storms of strife for the right as it saw
the right, when it knew that it was not taking the popular stand. What Club Stands For. It has stood and stands for just adequate service from public utility corporations, it has carried on a campaign for a greater Gary, the magnitude of which none can even guess except those who have done the work. It has appealed to the moneyed centers
for funds; It has followed a thousand will-of-the-wlsps In the pleasing forms of factories seeking locations (also
bonuses). It has sent agents from Bur
Hngton to Buffalo looking upon manufacturers wishing to move, but it has not considered applications from slot
machine makers. Ideals Songbt By Club.

(Special to This Times.) East Chicago, Ind.. July 12. The
many friends in this city of Mrs. Emma
P. Hascall of Goshen, but who formerly lived in East Chicago where two of her
children, Mrs. William Pulling and
Louis Hascall and a nephew, F. O. M. Hascall, still reside, have been grieved to learn of her death which took place
last Thursday, .the funeral taking place on Saturday.
Mrs. Hascall was the oldest woman in
Goshel being born in 1820. She was
also one of the oldest settlers of the
region, having moved to the vicinity of
Goshen at the age of fourteen from
New York state.
The Goshen Daily Democrat has tuis to say regarding the life and death of Mrs. Hascall: "Mrs. Emma P. Hascall. widow of the late Chauncey S. Hascall, died this morning at 8:30 oclock at the home of her daughter. Mrs. Frank P. Abott, 31.1 East Lincoln avenue. Although she had been falling for two months past she -was able to be up as late as Tuesday and had been .confined to her uwu only since Tuesday evening. At the recent meeting of the 61d settlers she was able to be present a part of the day. " Her illness was due to the Infirmities of old age. The excessive heat possibly hastened her death. Mrs. Hascall's maiden name was Emma Pamelia Brown and she was a daughter of Ebenezer Brown. She was born at Penn Yan. N. Y.. Sept. 25. 1820, and graduated at the Elmira Seminary at the age of 14. The family moved to this country in 1834 soon after her graduation, her father settling Just
northeast of Goshen on the farm which for many years was known as the Yeoman farm, but which is now owned and occupied by John DeBow. Mr. Brown entered the land from the government and built what Is believed to have bees the first frame house In the rural districts of Elkhart county. From the time that he settled here his family has been one of the most prominent la the county. He served as sheriff for a number of years and was active in tho movement which resulted in the establishment of The Goshen Democrat in 1837. For many years he was one of the leading democrats of the county. "Mrs. Hascall was one of four daugh
ters who grew to womanhood. The
others were Mrs. Joel P. Hawks, Mrs.
(Dr.) E. W. H. Ellis and Mrs. Helen
Elliott. The latter is now the only
one living and resides at Pasadena, Cat.
Soon after the family settled here Mrs
Hascall taught school, her first school being in her own home. She then
taught west of town, the school being
located in what is now "West Goshen,
and enjoyed the distinction of being the first lady who ever taught a winter term of school in this county. Such a thing was something unusual at that
time and the trustees was very re
luctant about employing her, ' fearing that she might not be able to manage a school in which there were a number of large, rough boys and even suggest
ed that in case of trouble that she send i
for him to administer whatever cor
poral punishment might be necessary.
But her work was very successful and nothing of that kind was ever necessary. Among her pupils were the Crlpes and the Bartmesses who lived
west of town, several of whom are still living. "In 1842 she was united In marriage with Chauncey S. Hascall, who was for
many years after that one of Gosen's leading business men and who built the Hascall block where the City National bank is now located. The wedding took place July 14, at the homestead northeast of the city. They the parents of nine children, four of whom are still living. They are Louis Hascall, of East Chicago; Mrs. Frank P. Abbott and Mrs. A. C. Loomis of Goshen; and Mrs. 'William Fulling of
East Chicago. Mr. Hascall died in 1894. "OfM"rs. HascirTs'womanly qualUVct,
and her literary attainments only the
older men and woman of the city have an adequate conception. For many years she was the friend and counselor of the woman and girls of her own age and younger. Her literary work, though by no means pretentious, was of more than ordinary excellence. Even in recent years she contributed something occasionally for the entertainment and instruction of the women's clubs of the city, notably the Philo-
mathians. At the annual meeting of
the Elkhart County Historical Society
in 1899, she contributed a valuable paper on "The Schools of Early Days," which is carefully treasured among the society's possessions. "In the latter 70's she took the full course prescribed by the C. L. S. C. graduating in 1879 at Island Park Assembly at Rome City."
