Twelve hundred acres of land

along the Grand Calumet river in

Lake county of an estimated value of

$1,200,000 is involved in a suit

brought by the heirs of the late Edward D. Mandel of Boston to partition the Lake county properties of this estate.

Attorneys Whitman and Miller of

Chicago who associated Judge John H. Glllett of Hammond -with them filed a printed complaint In the Lake Circuit court at Crown Point yester

day.

The action is of Interest not only be

cause of the large amount of acreage

Involved but because the Mandel estate

in Lake county has been under option

several times during the last three or four years by large Industrial concerns which sought a location along the Calumet river. The property lies in sections 1, 3. 3. and 34 midway between Hammond and Gary. It is probably the most desirable property for a large manufacturing site in the entire Calumet district. AGREE TO DIVIDE PROFITS. The property was purchased In 1893 by Robert W. Hyman of Chicago for

Edward D. Mandel. the Boston million

aire. The conditions of the purchase were that Hyman was to have a portion of the profits when the land should be finally sold. Mandel died Dec. 16, 1897 leaving a wil of the date of June 35. 1894 and

that will was admitted to probate. It is the heirs of the estate against whom the action has been brought.

last Sunday. The score was 10 to 0 in favor of East Chicago, so that is the answer. . , r

It had been left up to Hammond, say the East Chicago boys, to get the box

score into Chicago and to the local papers. But on Monday morning when the fans and players unfolded their newspapers to feast their eyes on the noble collection of hits on their side and errors on the other side, there was nothing doing. The achievements of the other teams in the league were set forth in regulation fashion, but nothing doing on the East Chicago-Hammond game. At first wrath burned at white heat In the breasts of the Eas Chicago sud-

porters. But gradually hey began to see it In the light of a Joke.
