great care and he was permitted to ac-

The stop at seagram is made on the
west side of the river and Hatfield and
his gang were stationed on the other
side of the bridge. The little boy was
tfmid about crossing on the ties. so
the father took him in his arms and
carried him across. While Booth was
talking with Hatfield. the child busted
himself gathering wild flowers and,
having secured quite a large bouquet
and his father having secured the job
he sought. the pair started once more
across the bridge. When about mid
way on the structure Booth stumbled
and there being nothing at the side Of
the bridge which he could catch hold
of to steady himself, plunged headlong
into the water with his little boy, who
still clasped the nosegay he had gath

FIRE CHIEF
IS INJURED
PAINFULLY

William Frazier. assistant chief of
the Gary fire department, met with
painful accident yesterday afternoon,
when the wheels of the heavy fire wa
gon ran over and crushed part of his
foot. The accident happened as the
wagon was leaving the station on a
practice run, Frazier falling under the
wagon as it passed through the doors.
He was taken at once to the office of
DIR. T. B. Templin, where the injury
was dressed. This probably will keep
Frazier from active duty for several
weeks to come.
AS the gong sounded for the practice
run Frazier jumped upon the wagon
and chung to its sides as it rushed out
of the door. Just at this time. how
ever, Frazier was knocked off the wa
gon by a door or a projection of some
character and fell beneath the wagon.
The heavy cart filled with hose. lad
ders and men crushed the end of his
foot badly. It is not believed that an
amputation will be necessary, although
his foot will be in bad shape for some
time.

would be of little avail even if they
should win
Must Go to Adjoining County.
The law provided that in cases where
a change of venue is taken the case
may be taken to an adjoining country.
This would give Judge Hanley, who
was to have heard the case this morn
ing but was prevented from so doing
by sickness. the right to send the case
to Porter county, Jasper county or
Newton county.
It is even possible for him to send
it to his own court in Jasper county.
where the trial would have to be held
The attorneys for the "drys" say that
the vets" took a change of venue
from Judge Virgil S. Refers court in
Lake county and had Judge Hanley
appointed as special judge here, and
now they have the right to ask for an
other change.
If the case goes TO Porter county, Jas
per county or Newton county they think
they would have a much better chance
before a jury than they would have in
Hammond They realize that the peo-
pie here are in sympathy with the Gary
sa1oonkeepers and If the case came TO
trial here they might have to try it
before a hostile jury.
| If Judge Hanley sends the case to
his own court in Jasper county he
would not have to make frequent trips
to Hammond and it would suit him
much better The attorneys for the
"drys" are clever enough to see this
and to realize that they would have a
much better show in Jasper county,
which is already dry by remonstrance.
When Judge Hanley is able to come
to Hammond he will first decide the
question of a change of venue. which
viii undoubtedly be granted, and then
the court which tries the case will first
/ have to decide as to whether any court
has the right of jurisdiction over the
| commissioners.
1t will only be after these questions
are decided and decided adversely tc
| the vets" that the case will come &c
trial and the question of the validity
of the remonstrance will be taken up.
