MAN SPENDS 49 DAYS IN
JAIL FOR SELLING GLASS Of BEER

Another of the cases Of justice court
injustice in Gary came to light in the
Lake superior court this morning when
John Linnich. who was charged with
selling cents worth of beer and who
was found guilty of the charge in
Judge H. A. Townships court in Gary
was peremptorilly dismissed by
Judge V. S. Reiter this morning after
he had languished IN the county Jail
for forty mine days.
Jean Vatican stole a loaf Of bread
and went to jail for It, but the in
justice done to him by his imprison-
ment was no greater than the modern
Jean Vatican, who sold pint of beer
to a friend, John d. Robbins. In Gary,
was arrested by Sergeant Glen Ram

court and finally languished in jail
for forty-nine days awaiting trial be-
cause of his inability to furnish $3.50
bail.

a wife and five children. His guilt of
a technical violation Of the law is un-
doubted.
In the story he told in court this
morning. he said that John d. Rob

beer off from him and finally he said.
IF you want part Of my beer you will
have to pay for it. Consequently John
D. Robbins paid Linnich a nickel and
drank pint of the beer.
Later he is said to have become an
CRY at Linnich and had him arrested
on the technical charge of selling beer
without a license. Instead of throw
ing the case out of the justice court.
the man was found guilty. and upon
taking an appeal to the Lake superior
court, was compelled to go to the coun-

Gary, who think this sample of Ameri-

The arrest of Rev. George E. Deuel.,
pastor of the Methodist church of Gary,
and his co-laborer. L A. Bryan. who
are mainly responsible for the circula-
tion of the township remonstrance in
Gary is now being planned, according
to one of the best informed ex-saloon-
keepers in the city. The charge which
will be brought against them is the
preparation of a fraud in obtaining
signers for the township remonstrance
by false representation.

of Gary was given power of attorney

TELLS STORY
Of BRIDGE
History of Columbia Avenue
Bridge Transaction Shows
That County Council Act
ed in Good Faith and That
City Did Not.

On account of certain misrepresent-
ations which were made in a local pa
per regarding the history of the build
ing of the Columbia avenue bridge and
the misunderstanding that has arisen
regarding what the city administration
promised to do. County Commission
er Oscar Krinbill last night came for
ward with a recital of the history of
the whole transaction in which he
shows that the county commissioners
have acted in good faith all the way
through, and that it is the city admin
istration which has failed to keep It's
promise.
Mr. Krinbill says when the property
owners in East Hammond came for
ward and asked for bridge over the
river at Columbia avenue. the county
commissioners called for estimates and
1t was found that the bridge would
cost s17.5+"
When the contractors came to bid on
the construction of the bridge the low
est bid was s22.50O, owing to the fact
that there had been an increase in the
cost Of materials and labor.
Demands Insistent.
The demands Of the east side prop
erty owners, that the Columbia avenue
bridge be built. were so insistent that
the county commissioners took tht
lowest previous bid, $22.50o, as an es-
innate and called for new bids
The lowest new bid was $4,000. and
owing to the fact that this figure was
larger than had been anticipated, the
county commissioners refused to make
an appropriation of $4,000 for the ap-
proaches.

cuRRENcY oF FURs AND SKINS
Primitive Mode Of Exchange That Pre-
vailed In Early Days.

In the early days of the United
States furs and skins were very gen
orally transferred from hand to hand
as money. Thus, in the northern
states, a pound of beaver was regard
ed as the unit of value, and in the
south the same weight Of deerskin
performed a similar function. In the
far west furs retained currency val
ue until quite recent date. But, aft
er all, as bale of skins was rather
bulky roll of money to carry about, II
was customary to cut off small strips
as tokens of ownership and pass them
from hand to hand, while the skins
were deposited in recognized places Of
security. Proof OF rightful ownership
was demonstrated when the strip was
fitted to the part from which it had
been detached. Trickery In substitute
ing another skin was not so easy as
might be imagined, because it seldom
happened that two skins would prove
so exactly similar In shade and length
of fur where the strip was cut on as
to deceive even the eye of a novice.

g. w. RUSSELL,

Jorlng trips,
With the arrival of Vance and of
Alva Wynn, however, the duo be-
came quartette and quartette that
Burilla particularly despised. They
frankly showed. that they had no de-
sire for further additions to the lit
tie company and Miss Bischoff raved
inwardly while her outward demon
strations of friendship we're as pro-
fuse as they we're insincere.
Alva Wynn was designer, wage
Garner, Just as Vance Edmonston was
the manager Of one Of the branches
of the Sixteenth National bank and
Taylor Phelps was a multi-millionaire
The rest of the permanent board
ers at the Wave house looked on in
glee at the maneuvers of Mrs. Tabor,
with the possible exception of some
half dozen mammas with eligible
daughters who wanted Phelps for their
own son-in-law.
To their number was added Bu-
rilla, who had enjoyed a monopoly
of Phelps company before the arrival
of the Tabors.
That this was largely due to the
fact that Phelps was too lazy to seek
to evade her schemes Burilla could
not realize, and she was convinced
that Elsie Tabor had cut her out.
When Vance added to the score by
his apt description, she gave herself
no rest in her search for vengeance.
But three weeks passed before the
opportunity came. It would not be
polite to say that Burilla deliberately
spied upon the quartette, but 1t was
certain that she almost invariably
found herself in their vicinity with
out making her presence unduly prom
inent. She was soft of movement
and she wore dresses of the soft
clinging kind that did not rustic.
Burilla was always called upon
for parlor entertainment at the week
ly hops and other functions, and now
she nlanned to nut to use her mimic
