has been settled At least to all ap-
pearances. There is no telling when it
may break out again in a Trash spot

to trial eight times, and involved a

over a score of witnesses and indirect
cost of several hundred dollars more,

nesses and principals, was decided by
Judge George Reiland Saturday after
noon. Judgment was rendered in the
sum of 1915 in favor of the plaintive.

anda of Deodor street against John
Chismar of Ell mstreet 1t has been
batted about between the justices of
peace of Indiana Harbor and Hammond

ducks strayed into John Chrismars
yard and were unlawfully and felon-
ously held by the said John Chismar
against the wishes and inclinations OF
not only the said Mrs. Vonanda, but
likewise the ducks.
criminal charge was brought
against Chismar which he beat. After
that civil cases figured prominently ir
