Frank CASTOR, the East Chicago de-

in Fort Worth. Tex, where he was ar
rested by Chief of Police Higgins. and

where he will probably have to remain
in jail until his trial is held this fall
Has No Sympathizers Now.
Kaston is not only an embezzler but
he has violated the confidence of his
friends who went on his bail and
when he returns TO this county the
few men who believed in him. will
have turned against him and he will
have to answer for his acts without
the sympathy of a single friend
KastOn was at one time respected
business man in East Chicago where
he was known as good fellow. Then
he disappeared and it was learned soon
afterwards that the Schlftz Brewing
company had found him several thous-
and dollars short in his accounts.
Located Him in Canada.
The surety company. which went on
his bond, made every effort to find the
absconding brewery agent and finally
he was located in Canada. Chief of
Police Martin brought him back to
East Chicago and here Kaston put up
a strong story and secured help from
his friends who went on his bond and
made his release possible.
The bond was fixed at $4,000 and DR.
A. G. Schlicker. Gabriel Sass, Julius

Texas tomorrow where he will look
over the land and if it is all that he
thinks 1t is he will buy a large tract
OF property and locate there.
Judge Jordan has heard of the Won
derful opportunities In the south and
that business opportunities there and
the fact that the climate is much better
than it is here are the reasons for his
leaving the city where he has made his
home for so long.
Delhart is located on the border of
two counties and is a city of about
10000 inhabitants An effort is being
made to have that city made to have
that city made the county seat of two
counties and if the residents succeed it
will be the only city in the United
States to have that distinction.
Judge Jordan will look over the ter
r;tory and if he finds the land he wants
he will return to Hammond and set
tie up his business affairs with the
Idea of leaving the city for good.
Owns Much Property Here.
Judge Jordan is quite an extensive
owner of property in this city and has
been a factor in the business life of
the city He is well known and has
many friends in all parts Of the county
who will miss him but who wish his
well in his contemplated venture as
well as his estimable wife and daugh
ters.
Judge Jordan was one of the most
prominent of the marrying justices when
Hammond was far famed as a gretna
green In his office he had pictures OF
cupids and bleding hearts and to en-
courage the newly made benedicts to
be liberal in their offerings Of fees
to the justice he had sign which bore
the inscription. God loveth cheerful
giver," and others equally appropriate
hung in his office.

the law firm of Bruce & Bruce of Ham

Under instructions from Judge Nc

they made application before the coun-

sion. In the meantime. however the
temperance agitatOrs filed a remon-
STRANGE against the saloOnkeepers. who
felt safe in knowing that by an ordi-

placed in the fourth ward. new ward
created purposely TO counteract the ac-

fourth ward was created while the re-
monstrance against the third ward. in
which the saloonkeepers were original
ly located. was hanging fire.
Although the saloonkeepers depos-
tied the money for their county licenses
the county commissioners took no ac-
tion toward granting them a license
and the consequence was that the four
saloonkeepers have been running in
the meantime with only a state and
county license.

Sixteen pretty girls who will gradu-

their lives.
They have inveigled the physicians
Of the institution into paying every
evening for an automobile ride, thea
ter party or a dinner for the entire
sixteen. They achieved this by a cute
feminine track, which left the doctors
NO loophole for escape. The doctors
who have been ''stung' are doing their
part heroically.
Each evening one Of the physicians
on the stan must take the girls out on
some kind OF a junket. It's either an
auto ride, theater party or carriage
ride. He must, of course. accompany
the girls as their escort, and no mere
man" except the victim" is allowed In
the party. The physicians are divided
into three classes.

take the girls on a gay, fast spin

cost of $66. Glass No. must take the
girls out In carriages at cost of $40.
