JUDGE IS JARRED
AND JERKED TO JAIL

If you had left a good name in your
home town and had gone to Gary with
the idea of winning fame and fortune.
II during your residence there you
had been made justice of peace and had
won a reputation as a just and good
man with a proper regard for the law.
If after making considerable money
you decided that it would be nice to
return to your old home just to see
how the old place looked and you were
arrested for splitting on the sidewalk
by town marshal who had a grudge
against you, wouldn't it make you
mad?
That is just the experience of Justice
Fitzgerald when he recently returned
to Walkertown, where he was arrested
and fined 81 and costs under on ordi-
nance that had been just tured out red
hot by the city council
Fitzgerald is a pretty good fellow
and took the whole matter as good

The Merry Widow hat fad and the
roller skating craze have struck South
Chicago. A number of young women of
this suburb have been experimenting
with Merry Widow hats as sailing de-
vices, and their discovery have proved
that before q wind a roller skater thus
equipped can make remarkable speed.
The young women declare that they
can employ the roller skate Merry
Widow hat combination to commercial
use. They propose to go shopping in
this manner. The only objection to
the utility of the scheme is that we

Tar as to have the postal inspector come
10 Gary and charge the dealers with
using the United States mails To de-
fraud as this is thought to be the best
way 10 put a stop to the practice and
punish the guilty parties.
AS In the previous meeting several
letters written by some of the for
eigners who are dealing in real estate
were read by the secretary and dis
cussed by those present Again they
reiterated to the foreigners to whom
they were writing that the Steel COM

they purchased a lot in Gary tbav

could work as long as they desired.

Misrepresentation of this kind have
served to induce hundreds of poor for
