rarding THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES and
the character and worth of Artie Fin
lin. Several other witnesses of minor
Importance were also called.
Then followed the arguments OF the
attorneys who both waxed eloquent
in the effort TO win the case for their
clients. The jury was instructed by
Judge Schottler and after a few mo-
ments deliberation in the ante-room
brought in a verdict granting the
plaintif a Judgment OF 81. and ninety
cents costs.
The ninety cents was a matter of
subsequent explanation. It happened
that Henry Schneider was made fore
man Of the jury. he being the only peer
in the bunch who was possessed Of a
fountain pen. Henry gauged the
thirst of his brother peers and figured
that it would take about eighty five
cents to go around. He threw in he
other FIVE cents fearing that the cash
register might want a beer.

Judge in set terms and then called on

REGRAN7S THE
INJUNCTION
Judge Tuthill Confirms His
Previous Restraining Or
der Favoring Erie.
STILL ONLY TEMPORARY
Talk in Hammond of Carrying Mat
ter to Higher Court-City De-
plores Precedent,

A decree has been handed down By
Judge H. b. Tuthill at Michigan city
admitting the right OF the Erie rail-
road company 10 lay an additional
track on the right of way across Com
key and Calumet avenues, provided
they would observe all rules and reg
ulations that had been recognized by
them before. This decree is only tenn
porary and Is the second one given by
Judge Tuthill in the same case. It
was handed down after tho first one
had been overthrown last Saturday
when it was found that the Erie at
tornies had not observed the necessary
formalities in their procedure to get
the injunction. Judge Tuthill dis
solved the injunction therefore saying
that If one was wanted new applica-
tion would have to be made for it on
Monday. This was done by the Erie
in regular form and the judge took the
matter under advisement until yes
terday afternoon. His decision reached
Hammond this morning.
May go TO Supreme Court.
1t is not impossible that this city
IN
rather than accept a decision so OPP
posed to its interests. for 1t is not
alone what the decision in this par
ticular instance means. but the pre-
cedent it establishes for the future,
that the officials and lawyers of Ham
mond object to.
John Rhode, chairman of the board
of public works. was in a fighting mood
all morning instead of going about
his work peacefully at the session OF
the bedy.
with this decree they have us tied
hand and foot and after our hard
lighting and vigilance" said Rhode
this morning. 'It surely was not my
intention that the Erie should walk
away from us as they are doing now"
Yes. they have US temporarily" said
Colonel LeGrand T. Meyer. city at
torney, but 1 feel sure the Injunction
will not hold water. I think If the
Erie officials would tell the truth they
, would have to admit they do not feel
, so easy about it after all. Should the
decision be against the city, too. when
this comes up for a permanent injunc-
= ton l would not be surprised if we
! would carry the case to court"
1t was feared by some that the citys
chances for the Michigan Centrars new
depot which was pledged In return fcl
the privilege of crossing certain streets
= by the company would be Jeopardized
by the decision, but Attorney Meyer
thinks not Mr.. Meyer gives as his
reason the fact that the Michigan
Central had entered into a contrac1
with the city to build the depot anc
p the contract would hold the company
q to the agreement.

Miss Johnson began work On her
house in the fall following the food
IN the Kaw valley in 1906. She was a
Salvation Army worker In Armourdale
at the time Of the food. She lost
everything except seven dollars. She
went to q real estate firm and arrang-
ca to buy on payments the 100 feet Of
ground on which her house stands
The first payment was $40. but she
was allowed to take the ground on the
promise that she would pay the
amount in 30 days. She kept her
promise,
After the ground was secured she
started canvassing for medicated
soap firm and soon made enough to
fence the ground. The cold weather
forced her to seek indoor work. Then
she began wrapping candles in a fac
tory.
In May 1904, Miss johnson built
two-room box-house, doing all the
work herself and getting the lumber
on easy payments. After moving into
her new home she received two wom-
en- as boarders. She was able. by the
first Of July. to buy a COW. She sold
the milk, and with her earnings bought
an incubator.

Miss Johnson found herself facing a

However, her resources were not ex

she paid for the lot.
But Miss Johnson was not satisfied.
She must enlarge her house. She
graded her lot with a spade and

up the frames, rooted, boxed and
weather-boarded the addition.
But she was forced to hire a car
