when a $250,000 development awaits

to devise some other means of temp

problem for once and all time.
And the worst thing about the situation is the fact that before Stata street east of Oakley avenue can have
the drainage that is necessary to
serve modern buildings the Calumet avenue deep sewer must be built and
the State street lateral must be built
into it.
This is necessary for the reason
The democratic -meeting in Hammond last Saturday was a spirited gathering as a result of the milling
Introduced by the Gary democrats who can always be trusted to add a picturesque effect whenever they lend
their presence. The opposition to
County Chairman John Gavlt was no
Idle boast. It was 40 votes out of a hundred and the resourceful Judge
Becker had to put forth all hla
efforts to win for Gavlt. It will b?
extremely interesting to note the outcome of the convention at Indianapolis on Wednesday. Mayor Knotts and his allies are not going
to relinquish the idea of the Balti

and Judge Becker will have to play
his cards well to win out.
The popularity of the Hammond
man among the Tenth district demo
crats gives him three aces right off the jump however. His alliance with
the Durgan machine of Lafayette nearly assures his election now.
Still you know you never can tell.

GARBAGE CAM FIGHT FATAL. A fight over a can of garbage has resulted in the death of Theodore Eckel, of Anderson, age thirty-eight, and a charge of murder being filed against Guy Harmon, age nineteen, both of Anderson. Eckel died Thursday afternoon at the home of his mother, Mrs. Mary Eckel, without regaining con. sclousness after being hit on the forehead with a shovel by Harmon Wednesday morning in an alley at the rear of the Grand hotel. There" were no witnesses to the tragedy and Harmon's story Is the only information the police have concerning
the fatal fight. Harmon and Eckel were drivers of garbage wagons and
each claimed the right to collect garb'

Charles Simpson, of Muncle believed dead for two years, returned to his old haunts yesterday. He says. he has been traveling. His return-lifted the finger of unwarranted suspicion from Goldle Hewitt, a farmer of near Muncle and Simpson's former employer. The two Saturday drove to the office of the prosecuting attorney to remove the last vestige of doubt in the 'law's eye that there had been foul play. Two years ago the report came to the sheriff and police officers at Muncle that Simpson had been murdered, and that Hewitt was under suspicion. The officers were told the body of the
murdered young man had been placed above the coffin of a man newly burled in a cemetery just across the Delaware county line in' Henry county. So Prosecutor Long, Sheriff W. A. O'Hara, detective Ira Coons and others, including newspaper men, made a trip by night in an automobile to the cemetery and dug down into the grave, aided by farmers who, with barn lanterns, furnished the light for the grewsome
task. K1VE SETS OP TWINS. The Barnes family, of Charleston, is a strong contender for the twin championship of Indiana. Five sets of twins are now thriving in the family.
Omar and Calvin Barnes, of Areola, 111.,
sons of Dr. John Barnes, and Casper and Kelpler Barnes, sons of former States Senator Willis L. Barnes, of Charlestown, are all grown, their fathers being brothers. Twin sons were recently born to Postmaster and Mrs. Joseph Morrow, of Charlestown, and a few days ago twins came to Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Barnes, of Charlestown. The first pair are grandchildren and the second grandnephewa of Mr. and Mrs. Wills L. Barnes. The fifth couple are twin children of Mr. and Mrs. Arlle Hardy, whose mother is a daughter of Emmett Barnes, another member of the same family. REBELLED AT SIXTEENTH.

Has the husband, on her refusal, the right to threaten her with physical violence. The suit is that of Sarah against Charles Williams for divorce. Mrs.
Williams says that she was willing to
