The opposing oounrllmen are of the opinion that HUctrician Tickey ran do more work than he is doinvr and that If an asni.stant Is necessary, a clerk tjiild tre hlre(1 for n hmall fim.

An assistant electrician and an as-istant building commissioner have been emploe,l by the 1 oarrt 1" work and have hem on duty for some time. Still no appropriation h;is lifH-n made f(r their salaries and it is the opinion of the councilman that someone, the board of works, is takinsr rt lon chance. Hut. even so. City Atty. .eebirt and the hoard of works a.setts that It can hire and pay these jus ist ants whether thf council approves or not. There was a bit of a "joker" In th building code ordinance, the "joker" consisting of the section which pays that assistants can he hired whenever deerm-d tiecess;iry. No yalury is specified in tin huildin1 ordinance and the city attorney lissorts there Is a statute whereby the toard can pay whatever it deems neoessraiy to such assistants when no .alarv Is specified In the ordinance t(ldm th- otlices Thus the borl of works has the power to pay the assistants wh.it er it Ut sire?.

Lakeville Woman Says She is Niece of Late Chicago Woman of Mystery.

Mrs. Merle ( horn of Iakeville. wife of William Osborne, a former ceneral store merchant there, believes that she is the heir to the fortune of JTr.ife found in the home of Mrs. TaaKtKe Schluetter. "hicaKo. who was discovered dead there last week. Mrs. "shorn declares that she is a niece of the Chicago woman, after whose death the police found $T6,Mjf in money and papers, hidden about her home. The woman was a reciuse and only the tradesmen with whom she dealt knew her. The 'hloatfo police failed to locate any of her relatives and it is understood that the authorities are holding the fortune which was discovered in the recluse's homo. Mrs. Osborn's connection with the case wa-N revealed through a letter which she wrote to the ( 'hiratro office of the International News Service. ihe saw the story In The News-Times under the I. X. fv credil. Hue last week .and wrote the following letter to the news association: Hero I; I. otter. I-akevUle, Ind.. April 1.., 191. 'The international Newn Service will you please informe the police to co rap pond with mrs. Merit unburn of Iakevlll lnd and i will ivo all information oonserninx mrs. taafclpre schluetter whome they found dead in her home and oblidcV The letter was not siuned but a representative, of The News-Times with Sheriff Charles IJailey and Deputy Sheriff Frank Niezcodski wont to l,akeville Tu-sday afternoon to interview Mrs. Osborn. Her letter was inferred to be meant that she could explain the mysterious death of Mrs, Schluetter and would inform the authorities. Therefore the sheriff and his deputy visited the woman with the reporter. Aunt oi stH'ii in Twenty-ri'.f Years. She explained that she had not seen Mrs. Schluetter, who she asserts is her mother's sister, for a uarter of a century. About 30 years aio the woman visited Mis. Osborn's mother and went on to Chicago. Mrs. "shorn says her aunt was alway a mysterious person, refusing to tell anything about herself. After that isit her family lost track of Mrs. Schluetter. Since that time all of Mrs. Sohluetter's near relaties have died and Mrs. Osborn believes sli is the sole heir to the fortune of .?Tt'..O0e. She is now in comtnunit ation with the Chicago officials and expects to know more about the case within the next few days. Several months airo Mrs. osborn's husband faib-d in bu.-tness and according to friends if the b-'s'acv comes into the hands f Mrs. ('shorn, it will be a case of the "silver ltmi'tz; behind the clouds.-
