defendants attorneys a statement that
was favorable to them, the bottom
dropped out the case and Attorneys
McAlee rand Moran were willing to
take what they could get by way of
a settlement.
Judge Offers sympathy.
Judge Anderson stated he was firm
~ convinced that there was no liabil-
ity on the part of the defendant com
pany He believed George WIKI was
injured through his owE negligence
and said he would take the case from
the jury were 1t not for the fact that
his sympathies, which he realized
should not have a bearing in the mat
ter, were with the workingman who
was injured while in the employ of a
large corporation.
When a review of the cases which
came before Judge Anderson is made.
it is apparent that the wheels of even
the federal courts may be made to
move with great facility. In fact,
Judge Anedson disposes of his cases
with neatness and dispatch that was a
revelation, and after he threatened to
take the case of WIKI VS.. the Block
Pollock Iron company away from the
jury it was noticeable the attorneys
who had cases of questionable merit
got busy and settled them.
Many Cases Settled.
The case of Teal vs.. the Simplex
Railway Appliance company, with d.
j. Moran representing the plaintiff and
1. L Bomberger representing the de-
PENDANT. was continued with the I'M
Outstanding that a settlement would
be made in the meantime.
The case of Beaubien, administrator
for Tadarowski. VS.. the Standard Steel
Car company was settled for $500.
Beaubien was represented by Frank
Gavit and John B. Peterson represented
the Standard Steel Car company. The
| jury was waived and a settlement was
made in court.
The action of Buchanan, administra-
tor for Fred w. Munson, vs. the Kelly
Atkinson Construction company, was
dismissed by the plaintiff. Another
case, Idzikowsk, administrator for
Richard Lawrence, vs.. the Kelly-At-
kinson Construction company. was also
dismissed. The plaintiff in both cases
was represented by William w. Nc
Mahon of Hammond. and Attorney
Ashton of Chicago and the defendant
In these cases was represented by A
f Knots of Hammond.
The case of the Morgan Gardner
Electrical company VS.. the Endsley
Trolley company of TT. Wayne was
settled. An injunction was granted the
Trolley company. The case of Jazoo-
ski VS.. the Inland Steel company was
dismissed. P. A. Parks of Whiting
represented the plaintiff. and l. L
Bomberger of Hammond represented
the defendant.
Trustees Are Responsible.
Probably the most interesting cas-,
which came before the court was tina
of William H. Cheadle VS. Allison A
Fell, trustee of Carpenter township
Jasper county, in which Judge And
erson decided that Fell is responsible
for the township funds. which wer,
deposited in the Parker bank at Rem
ington and which We're lost when the
bank failed.
Fells attorneys argued that the So,
600 deposited in the Parker bank was
a trust fund and should be paid back
dollar for dollar, out of the remaining
assets of the bank. Judge Anderson
ruled, however, that the township trus
tee places the townships funds in
bank at his own risk.
AS a result Trustee Fell will be com
PEELED to sell his farm TO make up thu
loss. 1t is but another of the TRACED
les which resulted from the failure o
the Parker bank at Remington.
William H. Cheadle has four othe
claims against the Parker bank, an,
these were referred to the master il
chancery at indianapolis.
