Political Announcements
FOR SHERIFF. Editor. Tiuxn:
Please announce that I will be a can
didate for sheriff of Lake-county, sub
ject to the decision of the republican
county convention. W3I. KUNERT, Tolleston. Ind.
Editor Timis: I take this means to advise the Republicans of Lake county
that I am a candidate for the office of
Sheriff, subject to the wishes of the Republican county nominating convea-
developed in nearly every Important j
political center In the county. These leaders seem to have come to an un
derstanding with each other which presages a unified and centralized management of party affairs during the present campaign.
These republican leaders, who are
-already cognizant of their powers, ara
pleased to know that they encountered so little opposition in effecting the reorganization of the party machinery.
They should recognize the fact,
however, that their tenure of power
as the representatives of the entire
republican party in Lake County, will
continue only-so long as they faith
fully represent the whoe party. .
ine employment or steam roiier
tactics for the elimination of worthy
candidates, who may not have been able to edge into the inner circle, political trickery, frameups that result In the nomination of men, unfit for the responsibilities of public office, will quickly terminate the leadership
of these men. v
On the other hand if the new party
leaders take the broad patriotic view that political parties are merely tits' agencies by which our government U
Baldwin Locomotive works, yet it
mean that at least 10,000 people will be brought Into the region as a result of its locating here. The Buckeye announcement will simply serve to make the people of this region more certain than ever before that the Calumet region is the greatest industrial center in the whole country. v It is an indication that the boom which followed the announcement of the location of the Baldwin plant is more than justified.

The inquiry was based on a report that teachers in parochial schools In Seymour smoked during recess periods.

Judge McMahan hands out short term sentences to those from the north end of the covmty and Judge Nicholson gives life
sentences to Chicago couples. The city coat-of-arms Is cupld shooting his ar

road runs through here, but. it is harmless and children may play on the
tracks with Impunity. In 1850 the Sons of Temperance were so many that they
built a school . house here, but later research work shows that many of the sons of the Sons have found it more
profitable to erect saloons around the
court house square. This Is the only
city in Lake county where English ls
spoken universally. A few of the hoi

When they miss the train many newly
married Chicago couples have to wait
a few days for the next Erie, so tney
begin their sentences at the Commer
cial hotel. However, the best patronized hostelry is Hotel Grant, conducted by the amlabl sheriff. Guests stay here from ten days to six months. Crown Point sidewalks are the narrowest in the county, but this is no sign that feet are in proportion. Although Crown Point has a population that places it in the city class, if the jail population from Gary would be counted, at times it might be listed as a metropolis. ' " '

FOXES ESCAPE Z.BOO MEN. Clinton county's big fox drive ended
in failure, three foxes making their
escape through the south line, which !
was weak In places, due to the men I seeking to cover too much territory.
About two thousand five hundred men
took part in the drive, and at the point of meeting women who were in waiting
were disappointed, as there was not a single fox in the inclosure. The leaders are not satisfied with tre result of
the drive and will seek to have another within a short time.
DESERTED 11 TIMES. Charles Ocheltree, of Indianapolis,
who got a suspended judgment some time ago from the police court judge for
assault and battery on his wife, was back in court yesterday as the result
of an unfavorable report by his wife. The woman, told a story of cruel treatment and excessive drinking by Ochet. tree. The couple had been married sev
enteen years, Mrs. Ocheltree saia, ana in that time she had been deserted eleven times. "And now he is getting ready to leave again, and that will make twelve times. There are three children, too," said the wife. "He Is getting ready to leave for the workhouse." commented th court. (Arrangements, however, were made by a probation officer to collect Ocheltree's wages of $12 each week, half of whie
Ocheltree consentend should be given
his wife. The only concession asked by
the- man was that he be permitted t tav away from home. This wm
granted. I SAVES EIGHT FROM FIRE.
Eight members of the James Crider family of Bloomington, narrowly escaped being burned at an early hour
yesterday when their two room horn
was destroyed by fire. James Gentry
