BEN KLINE WILL FIGHT
Gary Man in East Chicago
Court-Several Cases
Against Him.
Especial TO THE T1Mrs.l

East Chicago, Ind, Nov. 27.-K. Ben
jamin Kline refuses to be downed by
the Gary police force. On Wednesday,
he filed an appeal bond in the case
brought against him by Building Com
missioner Kliver on a charge of main
tanning an unsanitary vault. The case
was filed before Judge William A Reil-
and, who found Kline guilty and inn
posed a fine of $40 and costs
Kline was represented by his attor-
ney, Abe Ottenhtimer, who made adj
vances leading to an ultimate settle
ment of all the cas- es against his client
Ottenheimer declared that Kline would
pay the $40 fine if the two other cases
existing in Judge G.. Z. Reiland's court
at Indiana Harbor would be dismissed
by the prosecuting attorney. The
states representative refused to do this.
with the result that x. Benjamin squar-
ed off and began to show fight.
