Michigan City to a man who will now

where he raked in shackels, selling
fake horse medicines to the credible
farmers about the country.
He is known, to have gone as far
as Michigan City where he disposed of
most of his stock on hand and then
decided to sell his team and buggy,
the property of Stanley CASTOR of Gary.
He did so and when Mr.. CASTOR dis
covered that his outfit did not return
at the proper time he had the police
in the surrounding cities make in
quiries as to where Hennigen was last
seen.
The police in Michigan City located
the team and they are holding it pend
ing its Identification by CASTOR. In
the meantime the slick DR.. Hennigen

Elected From Boarding House.

George Radcliffe, Stony Island ave-
nue., Parkside, was elected from his
boarding house last night because he
snored and said things in his sleep.
John Rallo, the landlord, was the man
who created considerable diversion for
the neighbors by throwing the star
boarder and his effects into the street
Radcliffe slept on a cot in the kitch-
en- and soon after retiring he began to
play a symphony on his nasal organ.
He ran the scale so loud-at times
reaching high Chat he aroused all
the sleepers in the house and they en-
tered a protest. Rallo made up his
mind that the best way to stop the
snoring was to throw the boarder inc
the street, so an attempt was made to
eject Radcliffe.
In the process tables and chairs were
overturned and hurled across the room
Finally they both clinched and Rallo
exhibited red marks on his throat,
where he said the elected boarder
clutched him. Things quieted down be-
fore midnight, when Radcliffe sought
another boarding place.

inson was arrested Monday on a charge
of assault and battery and hailed be-
fore Judge William A. Reiland. Not
being perfectly familiar with the laws
of Indiana he demanded a change of
venue to Minneapolis. He thought that
the justice would be given him in that
hot-bed of Swedish residents, and was
apparently very much put out because
the local Judge failed to see the ad-
visibility of such a course. He was
given a three days continuance, how
ever, in which to secure legal assist
ance, and his case will be called for
trial on Thursday morning.
