JUDGE TUTH|LL
Personal Injury Case of Ad-
land VS.. City Gets on
Jurist's Nerves.
FIXES THE TIME LIMIT
Declares the Suit Must Go to Jurys
Not Later than Two
O'clock.

The personal-injury case of Victor
Adland of Chicago against the city OF
Hammond, which has been on hearing
before Judge Tuthin for the past three
days. has gotten on the courts nerves,
and his Honor called counsel for both
sides severely to task this morning. de-
claring that any further time the hear
ing might occupy would be waste OF
time, and waFning the attorneys that
the case must go to the jury by q
o'clock this afternoon.
The court had sat through the longs
winded performance like patience on a
monument, until the lawyers began
putting themselves on the witness
stand and taking up large gobs of
time in hearing themselves testify.
The legal representatives on both
sides had left no stone unturned which
might help their side of the case. So
persistent had both parties been in
finding technicalities that Judge Tut
hin shortly after eleven o'clock told
the lawyers the case was beginning to
be a waste Of time. lie said that 1t
had taken up twice as much time as
was really necessary.
After the case had been fought inch
by inch Attorney Crumpacker intro
duced a map taken from prospectus
that was put out by the city. After
each party had checkmatea the other
Crumpacker asked that the city attor-
ney be put on the witness stand and
then proceeded to question him about
the authenticity of the map. Colonel
Meyer declared that the map "pur-
ported" to be a map of Hammond. At
torney Crumpacker asked that he be
more specific in giving his knowledge
about the map. Attorney Meyer then
acted as counsel for himself and OBJ
| jected to the question. His objection
was sustained by Judge Tuthill. At
torney Crumpacker then asked to be
sworn, which was done, and he took
the stand, answering implied questions
about the map.

words to that effect.
How long the attorney might have
continued asking himself questions and
answering the same, had it not been
for Judge Tuthilrs Interruption, can
only be speculated on.
It was at this stage of the game that
one of the courts patience-strings

u should like to address a few
words to Christians on this train"
said voice from an end of one of the
coaches which made up the 4:0S Michi-
gan Central train soon after it had
pulled out of Hammond on its way to
Chicago yesterday afternoon.
Quite au unusual number of Ham
mondites had boarded the train, and
had made themselves comfortable but
a short while before. watching the fly
ing landscape or reading their papers,
when blond man arose, and in tones
that could be heard throughout the
car. made the foregoing rather un-
usual announcement.
Every ybody within earshot of the
mans voice looked up some smiling
and others startled, but curious He
was a dressed man without any of
the earmarks of the fake" preacher,
and devoid of any appearance of -eccen-
tricity. He was good looking. and ap-
parently in earnest.
4'As we approach the great and
wicked city of Chicago" the preacher
went on, Il wish to exhort each and
every one Of you to make up your
minds to win some soul to Christ upon
your arrival there. We all know the
necessity of Christian influence in that
great vortex of crime and sin. and in
the name of the great Savior of man
kind I ask you to do whatever may lie
in your power to win some doubling
one over to Christianity"
The speaker continued in this vein
for a short while. and then, bowing,
passed on to another coach, where he
repeated his eXhortation.
Almost all of the passengers listened
courteously, as the man was evidently
sincere. but some few had fun
with him" To the scofTers the evan
gelist paid no attention.
one Of the trainmen said the man
boarded the train a short distance this
side of Detroit. =%t no one seemed
to know who he was or what was his
customary vocation.

STRIKE MAY BE DECLARED
ON NEW FEDERAL. BUILDING.
Clash Now On Between BricIIayers'
and Cement Workers Unions Be
cause of a Difference in Time Sehed-
ule.

Within a few days two of the lead
ing local labor unions will clash unless
the impending trouble can be adjusted.
Fl. p. Smith, president and business
manager of the local hod carriers and
bricklayers' unions, and Dick Clark
president of the cement workers. met
last night to discuss matters The
trouble has started because the cement
workers employed on the new Federal
building have been working nine hours
day while the hod carriers employed
on the same building work only the
regulation eight hours, and unless the
local cement workers adopt the regular
union time schedule war viii be de-
clared and things promise to be made
interesting.
President Clark of the cement work
ers, in his conversation with Smith.
said that his men would continue to
work on the nine-hour schedule, as
they had a perfect right to do so ac-
cording to the regulations of their
charter.
Smith said they did not, and that he
would like to have Clark attend the
next meeting and show him where a
nine-hour day was provided for in the
charter
Clark says he can do this and unless
he makes good. or the eight-hour day
is adopted a strike viii probably be
declared.

mon McHie is president, was willing to
dispose of its holdings at a nominal
figure to insure the locating of the
plant in this city.
An Enormous Plant.
The Standard Steel Car company is
not a new concern, but an existing
company that is already doing an enor-
nous business in the east and has or
ders for sS,000,O00 worth of cars
that have not been built because the
old plant is not large enough to make
their manufacture possible for a long
time to come.
When the need of a new plant be-
came apparent it was decided to To-
cate it in the west so that the demand
there could be met without paying the
freight on empty cars all the way from
Pittsburg. This freight amounts to an
average of about s25 car and with the
daily output of the Hammond plant,
100 cars, it will be seen that a saving
of $4,000 a day will be effected in the
item of freight alone.
Another consideration was the prox-
unity of Hammond to Gary, with its
enormous supply of steel and the
splendid railway facilities that there
are in this city for the shipping of the
finished product to all parts of the
country
Something of an idea of the size OF
the plant may be had by comparing it
with the Hegewisch car works, which
has a daily output of 40 cars COM
pared to the 100 that will be manu-

A plant for grinding alfalfa into
meal has just been installed and plac-
ed in operation at Nampa. Idaho. The
process of manufacturing the meal is
complicated one. The alfalfa has
first TO be kiln dried and then put
through different machines in cutting
and reducing it to a meal stage.
The alfalfa thus treated is claimed
to be much better for stock than when
fed in its natural form, as the stalk
which is usually not eaten up contains
the greatest amount of protein.
by manufacturing the hay into
meal, stock obtains all this valuable
substance. The meal, after being pre-
pared, is placed in 100 pound sacks
for shipment.
The machinery Installed in the
Nampa plant, which is the first of
its kind to be established west of
Omaha, is all modern and up-to-date.
and has been very expensive. Omaha
has two factories. one of them costs
about $4,000 and the other $50. 900.
and they are both finding ready
market for all the meal thev can
manufacture. The difficulty there is
getting the hay to supply the factory.
but in this alfalfa region there should
be no difficulty in that respect.
The alfalfa meal will become an
important article of commerce there
can be little doubt In this conceh
trated form it will be especially valu-
able for shipping into localities where
alfalfa is not much grown.
But for general feeding of stock
where alfalfa is produced in abund-
ance 1t can hardly be expected to see
the meal come into general use. 1t
is most too expensive a proposition
to compete with chopped hay, which
to certain extent, answers the same
purpose is not an expensive process.

EIGHT MILLION ACRES

pie i'm Running the Immense Indus
try-About 10000 People Live Upon
the Estates.

In Chihuahua, Mexico, is a farm be-
longing to Don Luis Terrazas. and IT
is undoubtedly the largest farm in the
world. 1t contains, says William Ell
eroy Curtis i'm the Washington Star,
about 100000 acres in a solid tract,
mountains, mesas and prairies.
Its boundaries are $50 miles from
north to south and 200 miles from
east to west, and the trains on the
Mexican Central railroad take more
than half day to cross it.
Don Luis Terrazas does not know
how many cattle he owns, but he is
believed to have something over a
million head. He is supposed to have
something like 100000 sheep and
100000 horses, and employs more
than 1000 COW punchers shepherds,
herd bosses and other cattlemen.
He has more than 100 ranch houses
scattered over his estates, each being
the headquarters of a division cover
ing anywhere from $4,000 to 100, 900
acres.
He has his own slaughter house
and packing plant near the city of
Chihuahua, on the edge of his ranch,
where he annually kills 250,000 cat
tie and as many sheep and large
number of hogs and ships the car
casses to the capital and other cities
of Mexico upon his own refrigerator
cars. He also packs and preserves a
great deal of beef, pork and other
meats, but handles no animals that
are not raised on his own place.
Don Luis lives in castle that cost
100000 silver dollars. 1t is even
more magnificent than the castle at

large. Everything in it was brought

INTRINSIC MERIT.
Say Druggists Brock Il McComas Co.,
Is What Makes Vinol Popular.

''1he intrinsic merit of this new cod
liver oil preparation, Vinol," said Mr..
Brock. of the above firm, "is begin
ming to be realized by the people of
Pendleton. OF course in my position
as a druggist, l have seen innumera-
BILE medicines and proprietary arti-
cles introduced, but never i'm my long
experience have l ever known or
heard of a medicine that would pro-
duce more beneficial results than
Vinol.
81 attribute this to the fact that
Vinol contains in concentrated form
all the medicinal elements contained
in cod liver oil, actually taken from
fresh Gods livers, but without a drop
of oil or grease to nauseate and upset
the stomach, and il contains no sick
ening drugs.
"a prominent physician writes:
'Vinol is the most valuable prepara-
ton of cod liver oil known to medi-
cine. 1t is of untold value to create
strength and build up the general
system for old people, weak women
and children, and 1t has no equal for
hard colds. bronchial and all lung af-
fections.
''There are hundreds of people
right here in Pendleton who can tes-
tify that there is nothing equal to
Vinol to make rich, red blood, to in
crease the appetite, cure stomach
troubles, give strength and renewed
vitality to the aged, build up the run
down, tired and debilitated, make the
weak strong, cure chronic coughs,
