CATCH 20 POUND FISH
Hammond Men Pull Out a
Big One From the
Little Calumet.

Hats off to Messrs. Sylvester Creak-
baum and Joseph Smith, two valiant
fishermen who last Saturday night
landed a catfish from the waters of the
Little Calumet near SChreiber's bridge
that weighed twenty pounds.
This being the fish story season and
the weather extraordinarily hot any
kind of a fish story would be permiss-
ible but Messrs. Creakbaum and Smith
do not belong to that kind of fishermen.
When they tell fish story it is right
and they have the fish to prove it. The
fish was sold to Henry Gluth on Cal
umet avenue for three dollars.
Fish Put Up Fight.
Messrs Creakbaum and Smith We're
standing near the bridge and were us
ing a line and hooks with the intention
of catching catfish, They had already
made sevral nice catches when Creak-
baum felt a tugging at the line that
told him plainly that there was some
thin big and heavy at the other end
He began to haul in and the big fish
put up d game fight. The two happy
fishermen showed their catch to several
people on the way home, among them
the boys at fire station No four, who
say that judging from looks the fish
weighed twenty four pounds.

ARGUMENTS CONTINUE

Company to Take Steps But Con-
cession May Be Granted at Con-
clusiOn OF Meeting, Which Is Be-
ing Held Today.

Manager Green of the Ha,nyo,c
Whiting q East Chicago street car line,
"asin Hammond this morning TO con-
Ter with the board of public works re-
Sarding the double crossing. On Sta,e
street over the railroad tracks,
Manager Green wants to come to nm
understanding with the board rerard-
Ing these crossings and il asking for
Il concession in the. way that the .o,,,
pany be exempted from putting
double crossing over the tracks.
While the city is in a position to
force the company to this step il is
nevertheless disposed to grant the con-
cession provided the street car COM
pany will instead put iron guy poles
through the business district of Ham
mond. The company. however, is only
willing to put the iron poles from
Oakley avenue 10 Holman street.
Doesn't Think 1t Enough.
| The board of public works does NOT
consider this enough in the way of re-
! turns for the concessions that it would
grant since the double crossing would
stand the street car company at about
S3.500 while it in turn would give the
i city only about $500 worth of iron
poles The board argues further that
/ the poles would last the company to
( the end of their franchise. while the
crossings would have to be repaired
every four years al the original ex
pense.

SAYS THE BUYERS AR
EXPECTING BIG TIL NCS
Furniture Man Returns
From Grand Rapids
Optimism Galore.
BUYING THERE VERY BRISK
Every State in Country and Province
In Canada Was Represented
There.

Otto Klemperer, the manager Of the
Lion store furniture department, has
just returned from Grand Rapids,
where he has been attending the furni-
ture exhibition in that the greatest
furniture market in the world.
one thing that surprised Mr. Klein
perer was the fact that there were SO
many buyers present and that they
seemed to take such an optimistic view
of the business situation.
The buying was brisk and everybody
seemed to want to lay in a good stock
of goods in anticipation OF a large fall
trade The furniture display was more
attractive than ever and there are a
great many new designs which are very
attractive.
Was An Inspiring Trip.
Mr.. Klemperer said that it was a
great inspiration to mingle among
these men and get their ideas of con
ditions over the country There is not
a state in the union or a province in
Canada that was not represented by a
buyer. and in this manner the business
conditions of the country as whole
are reflected in no uncertain manner.
Advocate of Buy-at-HOme Plan.
NIr Klemperer is q great advocate OF
the 'buy-at-home" idea. He says that
lie would rather see a Hammond man
buy Of a competitor and do so con
sistently than to go outside of the city
and spend his money there.

Crown Point Wedding Turns Out
Disastrously for Elgin, H., Man
for State Authorities Decide That
the Law Has Been Clearly Evaded
Ready to Fight Law.

Crown Point, Ind. July I3.-(Spe-
csaD-Chauncey L. Nees and his young
bride who were married here last week
are In serious predicament because
they dehed the laws of Illinois. They
have returned to their home in Elgin In
fear and trembling.
Despite the decision of several Illinois
judges that either member of divorced
couple who narrfes in another state to
evade the Illinois law is liable to arrest,
they have no fear that they Will be ar
rested.
I do not believe that the decisions
of the judges are right in that par
ticular." said Mr.. Nees Thursday after
noon BY the laws of Indiana I had a
perfect right to get married there. and
I did. Now the constitution of the
United States says that the laws of one
state cannot nuIlify the laws of an
other. and therefore if I am married in
Indiana I must be married in Illinois.
Ready to Fight Law.
L should like to see a test case made
of that decision" continued Mr. Nees,
and would just as soon it was my case
as any other. OF course 1 haven't the
money to continue long legal battle
and consequently would hate to be
taken into court. but if I should be ar
rested I should certainly fight the case
10 the very end, and believe 1 would
win.
The state of Illinois is losing a lot
of good toney through that provision
of the law that either one of a di-
vorced couple cannot remarry within a
year. SO many couples go to other
states to get married that a lot of mon
ey is taken out of the state. 1t is a
good thing for Indiana though, Ii
cense there costing SO, while an Illinois
license costs but 81"
Lawyers Disagree With Him.
Elgin lawyers do not agree with Mr
Nees in his belief that Judge Carpen-
ter's decision is wrong. They believe
that either one of a divorced couple
who married in any state before year
has elapsed following a divorce is liable
to arrest and punishment if he or She
attempts to take up residence in I'LL
nois again before the expiration of the
year.
E-Mayor Carl E. Botsford express
ed the sentiment of the attorneys here
when he said: Going into another state
to get married when one is prohibited
from marrying in Illinois is simply ar
evasion of the Illinois statute. The Illi-
nOis law is not multiplying the Indiana
law when it says that persons divorced
in Illinois must not marry within q
year. as the Indiana law applies only
within the borders of Indiana and tbs
Illinois law within the state of IIi-
nois.
Break Law BY Returning.
All the Illinois law says is that di-
vorced persons must not remarry with
in a year and that applies to to then
only as residents of Illinois. If they
are married IN Indiana. or any other
state, and continue to make their resi-
dence there. their marriage is legal anC
valid. and the Illinois law makes no at.
tempt to reach them.
when they return to Illinois they
again within the pale of the IIli.
nOis law, and liable To it for any vio-
Iation of L."

on State street, in the vicinity of the
Commercial bank, when Officer Hill
brick came up and ordered Bardwell
to move on.
He Didn't Get Up.

and so IIilbrick reached down and
taking Bardwen by the shoulders
lifted him TO his feet. Bardwell walk

way Of the bank.
Here the officer again commanded
him to move on and Bardwen squared
off to the officer and asked him if he
wanted to fight. The officer said hf

Bardweu to move on.

him down.
It was a minute or so before thu

ant to the depot and here he rearreste'
him. This time he took the precautiol
to hold his man so that he could no
get away from him and so he was n

this manner marched him to the station
where he was booked.
There are several stories about re
