IS QUASHED
Action Taken in Cases of
Pure Food Act Violators
Will Test Law.

After many weeks of waiting, the
charge against the Hammond mer-
chants of violation of the pure food
laws in selling adulterated goods and
articles not up to the standard, We're
dismissed before Judge Mcmahon this
morning and the men discharged. The
dismissal was brought at the request
of Prosecutor Attorney Boone. who
asked that the indictments be quashed
This does not mean that the matter
is at an end. as Mr.. Boone will file
afidavits in the superior or the cir
cult court in the near future to find
whether the law in regard to the pen
atty for the conviction in the case OF
goods not up to the standard, which is
fixed by the health board, is valid ol
not
The defendants were represented by
Crumpacker & Crumpacker, while
Prosecutor Boone conducted the case
for the state. 1t was claimed that the
afidavits filed by the state were no
valid and for that reason it wa:
thought best to carry the matter Il
the supreme court and the first step il
| the case was to take it to the circui
or the supreme courts as a test case.

JUSTICES SEEK FOR DATA
In Case of Adverse Decision Profits
May Be Killed for Crown
Pointers.

Justices of the Peace Prest and
Jordan went 10 Crown Point yesterday
where they spent a large part of the
day collecting evidence which they viii
use in their efforts 10 kill the marriage
business for the justices OF Crown
Point, and ultimately to test the de-
cision of Lowden l. Bomberger on the
legality Of issuing the licenses in this
city. The Hammond justices have gone
into the fight in earnest and intend to
find out exactly where they stand.
1t is claimed. their object for taking
the matter into court is for the pur-
pose of making test of the law. and
deciding definitely the construction and
purport Of the Law upon which Attor-
ney Bomberger based his decision.
They do not believe that the matter
will ever be settled to the satisfaction
of all parties concerned until tt is
settled in court where the decision must
be respected. If the decision is fa-
vOrable however, Hammond will then
demand that 1t be returned to this
city. according to the statement of the
| justices. It seems likely at the pres
ent time that If Crown Point is al
lowed to retain the mill, that cases
will be instituted on a technicality
that will kill the big profit in the busi-
ness that has been realized hereto
fore.

The Bard of Alamo has come and
gone Most of the people who heard
him are laughing yet, but there are a
few who are still blinking their eyes
and asking what it was all about.
The lecture in the high school audi
torium was attended by about 400 peo-
pie and was a success in every way.
The bards advanced ideas on pure
literature were heard and pondered
over and then the audience was privt-
legged to hear some of his poems.
Fortunately Mayor Becker returned
from Michigan City in time to intro
duce Mr.. Elmore and he did so in a
manner that was highly pleasing to
the Ripley township singer
However so far as the members of
the University club were concerned,
while the lecture was good, the ban
quet was better. The bard was feasted,
toasted and roasted to the hearts con

HOW TO SPELL
NAME Of TOLLESTON
Even the Natives Confused
Over Double Is and
Final e's.
UNCLE SAM SAYS "TOLESTON"
But the Oldest Records Give Evi-
dence That Points Toward
T-o-l-l-e-s-t-o-n.

Tolleston. Ind, Nov. 9.-Special-The
people of Lake county are in a stew
over the spelling of the name of this
city and even the natives here are
sometimes in doubt as to the orthog-
raphy of the word.
On the best maps the name is spelled
Toleston and so good an authority as
Uncle Sam himself spells it that way.
However the Pennsylvania railroad
takes another view of the matter and
on the sign at the depot the name is
spelled Tollestone.
The most generally accepted spell
ing in this vicinity is Tolleston and so
there you are. 1t appears that the dis
eliminating person. the person who
makes it a matter of pride to never be
wrong in the spelling OF a word. is
rather up against it here.
The discussion is being carried on
in Gary, where the Tribune has taken
it up in it's editorial columns.
City Engineer Melton of Gary offers
the most convincing argument in favor
of "Tcneston" that has yet been sug
gested. He says that in looking over
old abstracts he finds that the orig
inal owner of many of the broad acres
il. the vicinity of Gary's sister city was
| George Tolle.
When the city which now bears his
name was founded he had it called
TolIe's town, or. with the usual abrevi-
alton it becomes simply Tolleston.
| So Tollestone and Toleston are both
wrong and Tolleston is correct. Many
of the residents of the growing city
to the west of Gary have suggested
THAT the town board should ADOPT some
one of the three spellings so that the
heated discussion could be stopped and
the people could settle down peace
fully under one form of spelling or an
other.

Mrs. Frank Weekley Re
sists Arrest in Masonic
Temple Apartments
May Resort to Strategy
to Serve Warrant.
MRS. JOHNSON SAYS
ENEMY AWAITS WITH GUN
Shakes With Fear While She Re-
lates Her Troubles to Big Police
man Detailed to Receive Her Com
plaint-Is Afraid to Visit Station
so Phones for officer.

This is an interesting development
in the Johnson Weekley development
both parties charge the other with
being crazy, and now Mrs Markus
Johnson has issued another warrant for
the arrest of Mrs. Weekley. The
latest trouble was caused according to
the story related by Mrs. johnson be-
cause Mrs. Weekley was laying for
her with a gun which she described
as being about a foot and a half long
with which she threatened to take her
life. When seen by a TIMES reporter
Mrs. Johnson was shaking with fear
while relating her troubles to a big
policeman who had been detailed on
the case after she had telegraphed to
the station for help.
Mrs. Johnson wished to go to the
station where she could swear out a
new warrant against Mrs. Weekley and
yet she was afraid to leave her studio
in the Masonic Temple building. She
resorted to the phone therefore and
the policeman came TO her assistance.
The warrant was then sworn out with
out further delay. When an attempt
was made to get a statement from Mrs
Weekley and get an idea of the real
size Of the gun which she is charged
with having in her possession she re-
fused admittance to the officer and to
the reporter of THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES
Knocking and pounding on the door
failed to bring her out of her retreat
and the attempt was given up. In the
mean time Mrs. Johnson says that she
will be afraid of her life until she is
either given police protection or Mrs
W eekley is arrested
