WANTS MORE CITATIONS
Judge Reiter Wants More
Law in the Gary Re
monstrance Case.

Judge Virgil S. Reiter of the superior
court, who has taken under advise
ment the motion of the attorneys for
the demonstrators to dismiss the ap-
peal of the attorneys for the saloon
keepers, today asked for further cita-
tions of authority before he will an
nounce his decision.
It is not believed that Judge Reiter
will announce his decision in this case
which will determine the fate of the
saloons in Calumet township, until the
early part of next week
The judge is very busy in other court
matters, and as there are a great many
fine legal points involved it is expect
ed that he will take his time in look
ing up the law and making his de.
cision.
The time of the court this morning
was taken up with a motion hour, ant
this afternoon the cases which viii
come up for consideration in the or.
der given below are Selig VS.. Nal ane
Korff VS.. the Federal Cement anc
Tile company.
The court house was crowded will

had such an air of hustle and hustle il

CONTEST CASE TAGGING
Crown Point Lawyer Comes
to the City to Hear
Evidence.

j. Frank Meeker of Crown Point was
in the city this morning for the pur-
pose of hearing the evidence in the
contest between Sam Ableman and John
C. Becker for the office of township
trustee.
For some reason or another the case
seems to lag. The republicans who
were interested in the cntest at the
start are losing their interest, as they
naturally would after such an elapse
time after the election.
Several subpoenas were issued and
were to have been served by the sher-
iff, but they did not get out in time
for the witnesses to appear today.
Mr.. Meeker does not feel that he
wants to spend an indefinite amount
of time working on the case and it is
possible that the contest Will be
dropped unless there are some unex-
pect developments.
After the attorneys in the Becker
township trustee appeared before spe-
cial commissioner Frank Meeker in the
Superior court building this morning, it
was decided to postpone the hearing OF
the evidence until next Wednesday.
A number of subpoenas were issued
Saturday, but it did not give the deputy
sheriff time to serve the papers, and
so the hearing was delayed until We'd
nesday.

SHINE NOW A
THEATRICAL PROMOTER
Hammond Officer and VIM
Dietel Open Family The
ater at Standard.

Frank Shine is now a full-fedged
theatrical promoter The strange thing
about it all is that Frank was able to
keep the truth from US for such long
time.
Frank Shine and Billy Dietel have
started what is to be known as the
Family theater in the Standard district
1t is to be a 5-cent theater and will
be similar to the Wonderland on West
State street.
The scramble to get into the scent
theater business seems to be so great
that the next thing in order will be
the formation of a club of managers
of scent theaters
The latest information is that Har-
vey Brooks will not lease Postmaster
William II. Gostlin's theater on State
street, but that Billy Craick, an cleo
trician, has secured the lease and will
run the theater.
The work on Mr.. Gostlins building
is being rushed and it is expected that
1t will be ready for occupancy before
spring. Mr.. Craick has been employed
with the Campbell Plumbing company,
and it is understood that he will cease
his connection with that firm.

cause of injuries he received when a
car rounded a curve in Gary while he
was on his way to work and struck
him before be could get out of the way.
Blames Tnterurban Company.
Mr.. Kelieman biames the interurban
company for the reason that the car
was going across Broadway at the rate
of forty miles an hour and did not slack
up in spite of the fact that the view OF
the approaching car was obstructed by
the curve.
The itemized list of the amounts that
Mr.. KelIeman wants for damages is in
teresting. He claims that as result OF
the accident his legs and ankles were
badly lacerated and he believes that the

DUCK HUNTERS GLOOM
Hammond Nimrods Blame
Summer Drouth for Poor
Sport This Year.

Duck hunting this season Is a fiat
failure. The past drouth and result
ing low water are directly responsible
for this. The season, which opens
Sept. l and closes April l. may yet be
productive of good shooting. but not
any more this year. 1t is probable that
if there is plenty of rain early next
spring that the shooting will be good
and Hammond hunters are hoping that
this will be the case.

FRED WINTER IS
arrested SATURDAY
Sheriff F. S. Carter Angered
at Silly Action of the
Chicago Authorities.
MANY LEGAL COMPLICATIONS
Prisoner Is Let Out on $1,000 Bail
and Will Now Fight
Extradition.

Fred Winter, who was arrested in
Chicago ON a fugitive warrant after he
is alleged to have stolen $500 worth of
tile roofing, was released Saturday ON
$1,000 bail.
There are legal complications regard
which may cause a great deal of
trouble before the case is tried. Ac-
cording to Sheriff F. S. Carter. the Illi-
nois authorities should never have per-
mitted Winter to give bail there but
should have awaited the extradition of
the prisoner to Indiana and permitted
him to give bail here.
To show what botch Chicago made
Of the affair, as soon as Carter heard
of the arrest of Winter in Chicago, he
went to indianapolis and Springfield to
arrange for the extradition of the pris-
oner.
Let Him Out Bail.
While he was completing the ar
rangements the authorities in Chicago
let him out on bail. This complicates
things in such a manner that there is
some question as to whether he can be
extradited until after his hearing later
on.
1t is understood that Winter is to
fight extradition and in that event he
will have an opportunity to take ad-
vantage of technicalities and may not
be brought to justice at all.
Easpar Schmidt Winters business
partner, has not yet been arrested and

from a roofing company in CloverdaIe
