No sooner had George w. Ashford
been released from jail on writ OF
habeas corpus. which was secured by
Attorney j. G. Ibach. than he was re-
arrested by Bailf James frost of the
Hammond city court and was reinear-
cerated.
Attorney Ibach had prepared petit
tion in which Ashford was alleged to
have been incarcerated illegally and the
case was heard before Judge Virgil S
Reiter.
The petition Of Ashford was ap-
proved and the order 10 the sheriff to
release the prisoner was issued. Ash
ford thought he was free man as he
walked out of the court room, but on
the way out he met Bailiff James frost

THE VALUE OF TIMES
ADVERTISING.

To be able to sell a thousand
tons of coal on one day is a record
that the Lion Store may well be
proud of. That feat was performed
yesterday and completely demon
strated the efficacy of judicious ad
vertising in The Times.
It is a record that The Times is
proud of.
The only means that the peo-
pie of Hammond had of knowing
that they could buy any amount of
coal at so cents ton below the
market price was through the col
umns of The Times.
The advertisement appeared one
day and the 1000 tons were com
pletely sold out the next. People
who did not read the advertise
ments will be the losers to the ex-
tent of $5 to $40 on the winters
supply.
1t is understood that another
coal sale will be held in the near
future.
Now what have you to say about
Times advertising!

TO-DAY IS HAMMOND DAY
At THE LAKE COUNTY FAIR

the 1850 Erie train bore larger
number of Hammond people bound for
Crown Point than it has in many a
year.
Everybody Forward Bound.
Everybody in town seemed to have
his mind made up to go to the fair
either today or tomorrow, and from the
way the people left town this morning
1t appeared that good half of them
are going today.
The fine weather IS helping a great
deal. There is not even a hint of a
storm. and it is expected that the race
track viii be in ideal condition. This
will insure some excellent races on
both of the remaining days of the fair
and is sure to bring out the crowds.
People came into Hammond all day
today from the cities Of Whiting East
Chicago. Indiana Harbor and Gary and
left on the noon Erie train From
present indications the attendance from
the northern part of the county will
be larger than ever before.
Making Good on Specials.
The special attractions are proving
to be all that they were advertised tc
be, and everybody who has attended
the fair so far says that It is the best
county show that has ever been pulled
off
| OF course, everybody will see the
| races today. The bin is an excellent
one. and the sport should be first class
! 1t is said that there are more hfgl
grade horses in the races today thar
! have appeared on the Crown Point track
| IN many a season
! The races for tomorrow are also very
interesting, and the bin is to be as gooC
| as that provided today There are thre,
races tomorrow. and there are from iv,
to eight entries in each race.

FOR DIVORCE
IN COURT

Was it a trial marriage? That is a
legitimate question, in view of the fact
that Jennie Primer has filed a suit for
divorce against her husband. William
Primer. in which she makes the allega-
tion that exactly five years to day
after they We're married they separated
and now they seek legal separation.
Instead of celebrating the fifth an
niversary OF their marriage they de-
cided to separate and now the case is
i'm the courts The complaint states
that Mr.. and Mrs. Primer were mar
ried on the Sd day Of March. 1901. and
separated on the 81 day Of March. 1909.
She alleges that he refused to sup

Crown Point, Ind, Sept 2.-The

fair, which thrilled spectators with
horror
Nicholas Cheralo, doing the great
feature turn of ''leaping the gap" in
the free attractions at the Lake Coun-
ty Fair, met with a serious accident
last night during his death defying
plunge around the loop, and the dare
devil performer is now seriously. but
not fatally, hurt as a result of the ac-
cident. Cheralo started down the
steep incline. some fifty feet high,
which is brilliantly lighted by cleo
tricity, made the loop in easy manner,
but coming down the last incline, the
trap. which ought to let the rider out
into the open space where he leaps
the gap, refused to work and the rider
was dashed with terrific force against
the side of the loop. Cheralo struck
on his face. dislocating his jaw
knocking his teeth loose and other
wise badly cutting and bruising him
about the body and he was picked UP
in an semi-conscious state. Drs. Houk
and Brannon were called to the in
jured mans aid and he was rushed to
his quarters at the Commercial hotel
where it was found upon examination
that CheraIos injuries were more pain
full than serious. The daredevil rider
has been in similar accidents in the
past, in the performance of his terrify
ing stunt, but last nights injuries are
the most serious he has ever sus
tanned Cheralo declared this morning
that he was ready to go on with his
daily and evening performance, bu
whether the attending physicians vii
allow him to do so in his present con
dition remains to be seen. His wif'

Paper and Canvas.

Ill book entitled Stories of the English Artists R. Davies and C. Hunt tell an interesting anecdote of Turner, the great landscape painter. He disliked to part with his pictures, and when he sold one, invariably wore d look of deJecticn and oppression. If friend asked him what was the mat ter, he would scornfully explain: I've lost one of my children this week"
 Once a rich Birmingham manufac- turer, Gillott by name, introduced him. self to the painter, and stated that he had cone to buy.
 Don't want to sell," or some such laconic rebuff, with the answer.
 The manufacturer then drew from his pocket a bundle of bank-notes, about e5,OOO worth.
 Mere paper" observed Turner, with grim humor, little softened, however. and evidently enjoying his joke
 TO be bartered for mere canvas" replied Gillott, waving his hand at the Building of Carthage" and it's com panions.
 This tone of cool depreciation seemed to have a happy effect, and finally Gillott departed with some Z 5000 worth of Turner's pictures.

Town of Many Vicissitudes.

Cattaro, the Austrian sea gate of Montenegro, which was recently be- lieved to be threatened by Prince Nich- Olas' guns, was held by Montenegro once for time. Montenegro ac- quired it in 1913 with the aid of Brit ish squadron. Any inhabitant of Cat taro who was contemporary with the rise and fall of Napoleon must often have had to pause and think what country he belonged to. For. having been Venetian for centuries, Cattaro became Austrian by the treaty of Campo Formio. and Italian in 1895 by he peace of Pressburg. It was ab- sorbed in the French empire in 1S1O. and wrested from il in 1913, and finally, in 1Sl4, Russia compelled Mon tenegro to give it up to Austria.

Poisoned by HoneYsuckIe.

One of the most favorite and beauti- full of our flowers is the common hOneysuckle, but it would seem to have its dangers. The London Lancet mentions case occurring in the prac- tice of Dr. Engh of Volden, in which a little boy two years old was poisoned by its flowers.
 The child, after being in the garden playing with the flowers, became tired and drowsy and then complained of thirst. Our contemporary describes the symptoms that followed and adds that the boy made a good recovery but was peevish and inert for some days. Various kinds of honeysuckle have been used incidentally as diuret- ics and diaphoretics, and it is well that it should be known that some of the varieties at all events are far from harmless. The flowers appear to be specially dangerous when freshly picked
