which were piling, one on top Of the
other. in the ice jam. One OF the men
was kept busy keeping the ice out of
the spare boat and another stood up
in the boat and waved coat franticaly.
The boats drifted farther and farther
out into the lake and the shore line
was becoming more and more indistinet.
To the men in the boat it seemed as
though they were surely doomed to be
frozen to death or 10 die from exposure.
Finally they saw a tiny speck on
shore and an answer to their signal.
This gave them some hope. but il was
only when they saw tug putting out
from the South Chicago harbor and
coming in their direction were they
sure that they were TO be rescued.
The tug proved TO be the Alert. and
the rescue was made at about II o'clock.
The boats were taken in tow and the re-
turn to shore was made shortly before
noon.
1t is reported from the pumping
station this afternoon that Joe Kasper
and his two assistants went out into
lake again this afternoon to sse if the
intake could be opened.
They worked for some time and were
finally able to clear away considerable
of the sIush ice. The pressure is the
mains is reported to be very much bet
ter this afternoon.

JUDGE M'MAHONS COURT
ADJOURN6 TODAY SINE DIE

This court will now stand adjourned
sine die. With this announcement there
passes out of the official life in Ham
mond for the present a man who has
been a good judge. "A good Judge"
Is the most credftable and concise com
pIiment that can be paid any jurist
and It is most appropriate for Judge
Nv. -1TcMahon,- -zUho-~xacated the.
bench in the city court this morning.
For more than five years Judge Nc
Mahon has graced the bench in the city
court, and in that time he has given
his court a dignity of which the city
might well be proud. 1t was during
his regime that a bench docket and an
order book was first kept, and these
records are as complete as any higher
court of record.
As five years judge Of the city court,
Judge Mcmahon has gained an 'expe-
rience which may not be a great fnan-
cial asset to him, but which he would
not sell for much money.
Knows Human Nature.
He saw more human nature in that
comparatively short time than he would
have otherwise seen in lifetime. He
has had to deal with practically every
crime in the calendar of the state. His
most humorous, and at the same time.
his most pathetic experiences, however,
never became a matter of record. In
many a case he had to lay aside every
judicial reasoning and open his own
big heart and give sympathetic adj
vice instead of rendering a stern in
exorable judgment. 1t was in that way
that he dealt with the juvenile offender;
the couple that came to him each accus-
ing the other of incompatability of tenn
per, and the people that came to him
with their little quarrels.
Has Faith in the Boys.
He always believed that there was
enough good left in even the meanest
boy to reform him without sending him
to the reform school. and ne has found
= his system to be quite successful. Many
a home would be disrupted today had
1t not been for his advice to the couple.
The visit of a husband or wife to the
judge might have been frequently the
srst step to the divorce court, but it
was verted nearly as frequently by the
judge.
But he vas the terror of the wife

him lasting gratitude for the number
OF cases Of Wife beating have been
greatly reduced n the l. st few years.
1t is seldom now hat a case Of wife
beating IS brought before him. the bare
threat by woman that she would have
her brutal husband hailed before Judge
Mcmahon would have a salutary effect

GARY MAY
TAKE: HAND
IN FIGHT

A question of interest to the people
of Gary and Lake county in general. in
view of the fact that it is announced
that the Dearborn Park poolroom will
open tomorrow or Monday, is the ques-
Park stocRade is located in the city of
Cars
There is an interesting story con-
nected with the history of this proper
ty which has to do with the remark
able territorial expansion of Gary.
When the Gary city limits We're being
expanded westward by the Gary town
board it was noticeable fact that the
little strip of land between the Wa
bash and Pennsylvania tracks was not
included in Gary territory.
1t was so pal9able at the time that
this strip was left out of the city CT
Gary so that it would not be under the
jurisdiction of the Gary police, that it
was a matter o general comment.
Surrounded by Gary.
Since that time the limits Of Gary
have been extended still farther west
ward until they now extend to the East
Chicago corporation line. The question
now arises as to whether the little strip
of property upon which Dearborn Park
now stands was ever actually annexed
to Gary. Some people. who pretend to
know, say that it is an unannexed
piece of property completely surround
ed by the territory which makes up the
corporation of Gary sort of an island
in a municipality.
The Importance of this question will
be determined by the attitude Of Mayor
Knots to the poolroom promoters. He
is reported as saying that his police
officers have jurisdiction over this
piece of property whether or not it is a
part of Gary. If he is right, the ques-
ton of jurisdiction Is settled. If he is
wrong a nice question will be raised
that may require some time for settle
ment The last raid on this place was
made by the Hammond metropolitan
police, who have jurisdiction every
where in the county.

..DoIIar and Costs a By-Word.


posed.
'DOIIar and Costs. a By-Word.
For the inebriate he had a uniform
fine for the first offense Dollar and
costs became a by-word in the city
was heard.
Judge Mcmahon considered the drunk
as his own worst enemy, and to assess
heavy fine upon him would not work
out his salvation, as it would take
the money that was needed in a family
When the occasion arose. however. he
was not afraid to assess exemplary
fines.
During the i've years that he has
been on the bench Judge Mcmahon
has disposed of 2.061 cases. These were
all criminal cases, and do not include
the number of city ordinance cases that
were brought before him, nor the num-
Der of civil cases that he disposed Of.
DevOtes Self to Law.
Now that his term has expired Judge
Mcmahon will devote himself entirely
to the practice of the law. He is the
senior member of the firm Of Mcmahon
& Conroy, and their legal business is
such that 1t suffered at times owing
to the fact that he was city judge and
could not accept business.
1t is a strange coincidence that the
very thing, the Dearborn Park pool
room, which sent McMahon's name far
thest should just bob up almost at the
very hour in which he retires. At the
time he ruled on the case he ordered
that the poolroom should be destroyed
by order of the court any time gam
bling is tolerated within its walls.
Scattered all over the United States
| there are several thousand couples who
were married by Judge Mcmahon, and
should he ever take a notion he could
tell an interesting story of his expe-
riences along that line.
A Fixture in Hammond.
Judge Mcmahon is now 50 years old
He was born on a farm in Fulton couH-
ty and went steadily up the ladder in
his native town. In 1898 he went to
the legislature. In 1896 he came to
| Hammond with the thought of making
| his permanent home, and now he is 8
fixture in the city in its business so
cial and political life and retires from
a public position beloved by all.
