Peculiar Outfit.

Officers Mulcahy and Swada yester-

there was his step-father The man
wore a new overcoat and carried a

Attend-Work Promises to Be Unin-

The meeting of the ditch commission
which was to have been held yesterday
afternoon in Gary was postponed for

The Country Laborer's Lot.

An encouraging feature of the times
is that large number of small men
appear to have saved sufficient money
to take small farm, and this, in spite
of bad times, serves to show that the
1aborer's lot is by no means SO hard as
many would have US believe.-Agricul-

FALLS OFF PLATFORM
IN THE DARKNESS
Lack of Lights at Lake Shore Brings
Accident to Woman.

Just as had been predicted the lack
of lights at the Lake Shore depot for
the midnight train was the cause of
of an accident, which occurred last Sun
day night
A woman who stepped off the train
stumbled and fell while passing I'M
der the elevated structure, and it be-
ing dark people who followed her fell
over her. She was trampled upon and
bruised, and 1t would not be at all un-
likely If a damage suit were filed
against the company.

LAWYERS FAIL
TO CONNECT


The Gary attorneys, however. stated
that they wanted to wait until the 9TH
er cities of the county had been heard
from before they stated their position.
Judge T. M. c. Hembroff of Indiana
Harbor was the next attorney called
upon and he made 1t very plain that
the attorneys of East Chicago, which
includes Indiana Harbor, were primar-
lily in favor of an additional judge at
Hammond, and secondarily. a continu-
Gus court at Crown Point.
Frank Gavit of Whiting spoke al
some length on the proposition. He
advised progress along lines of the
least resistance. He said that the Lake
county barristers would be foolish to
attempt a program that was impossible
from the very start.
Judge Willis c. McMahan of the Lake
and Porter circuit court made the
statement that his court was year be-
hind in civil matters and eighteen
months behind in court cases. He said
that owing to the congestion in his
court he was compelled to send many
cases out of the county on changes OF
venue.

Judge Reiter Speaks.

Judge Virgil S. Reiter of the Lake
superior court said that while the av-
erage court in Indiana tries 800 civil
cases year, his court nad disposed
of 500 civil cases, besides the criminal
cases, in a year. He stated that the
need of relief from the congestion was
apparent when there were ZIG jury
and $40 civil cases set for one term in
the Lake superior court.
Gary's demand for a court of its own
was presented by Attorney H. F. Nc
Cracker. The Gary attorney stated
that a large amount of the business
which had caused the congestion of the
two courts in Lake county came from
Gary.
He went on to tell of the large
amount of taxes the city of Gary was
paying into the state treasury, and
gave that as a reason why the city OF
Gary should have a court of it's own.
Gary Has Forty Lawyers.
Mr. McCracken said that in two years
a large proportion of the legal bust
ness of the county would arise in Gary
He spoke of Gary's forty attorneys and
of the large amount of litigation that

{ Busy Week, Ending With the Cal eudsr we'll Cleared. Some Inn
 portsrt Cases.

Court of the Second Judicial Dis trict of the Territory of Arizona, in and for the County of Santa Cruz, convened at Nogales Monday, April 9th, 1908, at 9:30 o'clock.
 When the court had been opened Judge Nave produced an order from Chief Justice Edward Kent, assign ing him to hold the present term of Court in the stead of Judge Doan; and another similar order from Judge Doan, to the same ef- feet, which were spread upon the minutes. Judge Nave was accom- panied by his own stenographer, and as organized the roster of the Court is as follows, to-wit:
 Hon. Frederick s. Nave, Presid. ing; w. A. O'Connor, District At torney; Harry J. Saxon, Sheriff; E. B. Van Veen, Stenographer; Allen T. Bird, Clerk.
 The Sheriff made return of hav- ing summoned on the regular venire fifteen grand jurors, of whom four were found to have valid excuses from service, which were accepted, and a special venire for the sum- mons of ten others was ordered and issued returnable at 10 o'clock, to which hour the grand jurors who had been accepted were excused Then the civil calendar was call cd, and the following disposition was made of various cases:
 80 George w. Grove vs. Henry
 Harmon, Administrator of the
 Estate of Jerry Neville, de-
 ceased. Mandate from Su-
 preme Court. This case was
 tried in the early history of the
 county, when Judge Davis was
 on the bench, and in this court
 MT. Grove was given judgment against the estate of Neville
 for commission on the sale of the Pride of the West mine at Washington Camp. The
 case was appealed to the terri.
 torial supreme court, where
 the judgment was reversed. An
 appeal to the Supreme Court
 of the United States was taken
 by Grove, and in that court
 the judgment was ffirmed with costs. The mandate of the su- preme court having returned
 to this court, the procedure
 was to enter judgment accord
 ingly. Which was done.
 81 George w. Grove vs. M. M. Trickey, Administrator of the
 Estate of Norman H. Chapin, deceased. Mandate from Su-
 preme Court. This was anoth-
 CT suit of the same nature that
 had taken the same course, the
 judgment of this court having
 been reversed in the territorial supreme court, and the terri
 torial court sustained at Wash
 ington.

Judge Macy Holds Court.
Court convened Tuesday
morning, Judge Macy, Captain
John Clark, reporter.
County Attorney Smith re-
sisted the motion for a continu-
ance in the Sniff case, but the
continuance was granted under
such conditions that trial must
be had at the March term of
court. The continuance was
asked on the grounds that the
defendants attorney was en-
gagged in a Nebraska court and
could not attend to the case at
this term. That owing to the
financial embarrassment of the
defendant lie was not able to
employ sufficient counsel.
Judge Green, who presided at
the 6rst II al of Mr.. Sniff, pre-
sides at the March term and
County Attorney Smith sug-
g ested that perhaps Judge
Gceen might not want to try
the case again. The trial was
set by Judge Macy for the first
jury trial at the March 1908
term. Ex-senator Allen Of Ne
braska has been retained by Mr..
Sniff.
The Standard Oil company
through their attorney. Mr..
Leavitt of Omaha, moved to
transfer their part of the Chap
man suit for damages to the
federal court. The attorney
argued that the case might he
separated into two distinct trials
and that the Standard Oil con-
pany, being a citizen or corpc-
ration Of the state of Indiana
should have the right Of trial in
the federal court observer.
