A RIGHT OF WAY
Say That the Conditions Under Which
They Purchased Property En-
braced an Easement Permitting
Them to Cross Ice Company's Prop
erty With Pipe Lines.

The American Maize Products Co. at
Roby, within the Hammond city limits.
this morning secured an injunction
against E. A. Shedd and c. B. Shedd by
means of which they are restrained
from interfering with the construction
of a water pipe and sewer from the
plant of the plaintin company OF Lake
Michigan.
The injunction is alleged to have pre-
vented the use of force on the part of
the Shields to stop the work of the men
who are building the intake and the
sewer
The complaint. which was filed by At
torneys Crumpacker & Crumpacker,
representing the glucose company. al
Svsea that a the siIne = ~ snsad and
C. B Shedd sold the land upon which
the plant of the plaintin company is
now located to the Western Glucose
company. the predecessor of the Amer
lean Maize Products company. it was
agreed that the company was to have
the right to easement and right of
way over which two pipes, one sew
er and the other a water pipe. might be
extended across the Shedd property to
Lake Michigan.

intake on the bottom of the lake and
, proceeded with the dredging of the
channel in which the 2.oOO-foot intake
! was to be laid.

feet Of pipe were put on the ground

stopped 1t is alleged that they even
threatened to have the plaintiffs en-
ployes fined for malicious trespass If
they attempted to move any of the
pipe or the tool shanty.
The complaint went on to state that
the water supply was necessary to the
proper running of the plant. as the
supply of water that is secured from
Wolf lake is of very inferior character.
1t is also claimed that e. A Shedd
and c. b. Shedd do not own the lake
front. but that thisproperty belongs to
the United States government, as it is
all made land The injunction was
served this morning and there will be

FIRE BREAKS OUT IN
RIVERSIDE SCHOOL

Spontaneous combustion this morn
ing about o'clock caused fire to break
out in the coal bunkers of the River
side school The threatening fire was
noticed in time to prevent any spread
of the flames. as the hose cart from the
central station was Immediately sum
moned.
Owing to the low basement in the
school building, it was not thought ad-
visable TO flood the basement with
water. but in order to make sure the
firemen set about to handle the coal
to find whether the fire had spread
any farther than appeared on the sur
face.
Spontaneous combustion, according to
officials of the fire department is not
uncommon at this time of the year Wet
or dany ceal, especially the poorer
grades, are more fias4e 10 eo.s.bs.
and the records of the fire department
show that two years ago number of
alarms were turned in on account of
fires that had their origin in spontan-
eous combustion in coal sheds.

ter, Mrs Charles Cook of Highland

necessary to summon doctor. The in

though 1t cried very rarely.
month ago the family moved to
Highland from East Gary. the father
having found employment at the brick
yards as night fireman. The Cooks have
two other children. a little boy and a
little girl.
