The heroism of Louis G. Burkhalter. who with Walter Webst?r died trying to save the lives of Mrs. of Mrs. Ruth II. Mastellar and Veda Ilemstock of Hammond has been rewarded by the Carnegie hero fund commission. Through the intercession of Attorney V. J. McAleer and Rev. F. H. Adams of Ha,mmond the commission has awarded

Mrs. liurkhalter, the wife of the hero, a pjenslon of $55 a month and $5 a month for each of two children until they reach the age of 16 years. This makes a total of 505 a month for the widow and her two children and represents the interest on an investment of J15,600. W. J. McAleer donated his services so that the annuity la net to tho widow. The widow and her children were In etralghted circumstances po that the benefaction comes as a godsend to them. In fact the liberality of the commission In awarding the pension is said to be due to the fact that it appreciated the impoverished circumstances of tho widow.

The case of Walter Webster is still under investigation. His heroism was ciual to that of Burkh. titer but hi mother has her own homo and another piece of property besides and It la believed that this fact has caused tUcommission to delay the award to Mrs, Webster. It Is understood that a careful Investigation of all of the circumstances surrounding the case has been made and. that the award of a medal and the annuity to Mrs. Burkhalter was mada after the most searching study of tha esse. Tho tragedy which brought out tha heroism of George Burkhalter of Kankakee, 111., and Walter Webster of Hammond occured at the Kankakee, river in the vicinity of Bradley, 111., July 28, 1913. It i3 hoped that the commission will make an award to Mrs. Webster or at least recognize the heroism of her son, who was so wel known in Hammond. Fiftv-nlne other awards were made.

The Gary Post last night attacked the county commissioners in scandalous fashion. Hut the Post couldn't stand the strain of being gentlemanly. It was too foreign to Its nature. It has bat.io:ic'i! all sense of propriety, all sense of honesty and decency an 1 is today publishing the most outrageous lies and roorbacks to which a publication has ever given utterance in Luic: County It ha charged the county commissioners with a graft of $100 an acre an 40 acres of ground which is alleged to have been bought for the county infirmary when in truth and it; fact tue county bought t-o land for this purpose and has owned "Oa acres for j ears. Another roorha k that wis printed in this same article referred to the purchase of the fair grounds property. The Post charm s that the county commissioners negotiated for SO acres of ground at a price of $3. 000 and afterwards purchased -to acres for the same price. The post does not intimate, it charges that the county oineials profited by tl-.ls deal. The facts about this deal are that the I.ake County Pair association condemned this property; that the condemnation proceedings were tried In court and that title passed by order of Judge William C McMahon. And these steps were taken to forestall just such criticism as The- Post voices. The Post printed these fictions, these bare-faced iies with the intention of aiding the. democratic can lidates, Edward C Grady and (;to H,ld-rbrandt. If these men do not puf.li.dy repudiate the Post's canatds before election day the people of L:i'ko county will" hold that they contribute to tho re5.pons!bll!ty for one of th' most vicious and unwarranted slanders that have ever been perpetrated in this commun !
