if London, Feb. 11. Captain Robert Falcon Scott and four of his comrades are dead victims of the frozen south. They reached the south pole Jan. 18. 1912, and then perished miserably in a driving blizzard on tro Journey back. ' After attaining the pole they faced about for the return to civilization. For two months they struggled to get back to "One Ton Depot." which they had established 150 miles north of the ultimate south. But one by one they died... Seaman Evans died from concussion ; of the brain Feb. 17. . ' Captain Oates died from exposure on j March 17. y i Captain Scott, Lieutenant H. B. Bow- j ers and Dr. E. A. Wilson died from ex- j posure and starvation during a bliz- i zard about March 29. ! The whole world mourns the loss of these heroic victims of the terrors of the antarctic. But before they died they achieved their aim. ' News of the tragedy comes. from the Terra Nova, which arrived at Christchurch, New Zealand, today with the remainder of the Ill-fated expedition under command of Lieutenant G. R. Evans. 1 Cora Pinter, teaching. 75.00 1 L. Verhoven. teaching 75.00 1 C. J. Kennedy, teach.. 100.00 2 K. Keilman. teaching. 60.00 2 Mrs. Sttefel, teach mu 20.00 8 G. Lauderbach, teach. 90.00 11 A. M.

j y n the commissioners have had repeatedly to extend the time limit on the contract.' In the meantime the people of East Chicago are anxiously waiting for the completion of the, bridge over the -anal. ' . ' ' v It appears that the contractor has had practically no experience in bridge building and that his equipment for, the. construction of the bridge is practically worthless. ( The county engineer Is far from being satisfied with the way the work is progressing.' ' He thinks that the contractor Is making such a poor showing that he ought to be compelled,' to either live up to the terms of his contract or let the Job be finished by another company. It is also said that the low bid of this- company, on the Chicago avenue bridge was made with the exceptation that .the time limit for - construction would be extended. It is hoped that in the future bids will be. received only on the proposition of completing the work within the time, specified In the contract, even if it costs the contractor his profits on the Job. GARY MEETINGS FOR TONIGHT The Gary schdol board Is expected to hold, its postponed meeting tonight. K meeting If the board of safety commissioner is also scheduled.
