THIEVES OPERATE THERE
Pennsylvania Yards. at the
State Line Scene of
Trouble for Police.

The discovery Of a gang of thieves,
which have been making raids on box
cars in the Pennsylvania yards at
Robertsdale, leads the local police to
believe that the raids on cars are not
confined to this locality but that
thieves are also operating in Roberts
dale, where the Pennsylvania yards are
located
Six young men and a 19-year-oId girl
are under arrest at the Stock Yards
station, accused by the police of hav-
ing stolen over $4,000 worth Of mer-
chandise from freight cars on the
tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad
during the past six months. The po-
lice say they have recovered most of
the goods from fences" on the south
side Those arrested are Lucy Pitzel,
John Quinn. Frank Quinn, Jacob Ben
nett Edward Platke, James Ceska and
Stephen Casper. The girl is said to be
the leader The police claim to have

Attorney sickman.
WORDS NOT FOR COURTS EAR
One ePtitioner Would Sooner Be a
Lamb Than snyder-Non-
Support Her Plea.

William H Sickman Hammond's ia
nous divorce attorney. has filed two of
his characteristic divorce complaints in
the Lake superior court. In one, Lizzie
E. Farrell is seeking to have the bonds
OF matrimony severed between herself
and Stephen P Farrell and in the other
Sarah B. Snyder has brought action for
divorce against William Snyder with
the same object in view
The complaint goes on to state that
the plaintiff and defendant, Mr. and Mrs
Farrell were married in Momence, Ill,
Oct. 1. 1900 They were separated Nov.
IS, 1907
After seven years of connubial bliss.
or the lack of it Mrs. Farrell states in
her complaint that Stephan was guilty
of cruel and inhuman treatment that
he had an ungovernable temper. that on
various and sundry occasions he called
her vile and indecent names among
which were "blankety blank" and
others not fit for the ear of the court.
Mrs. Farrell also states that her hus-
band struck her in the eye and as a
result she was compelled to secure the
services of a physician. She alleges
that things went from bad to worse
until finally he threatened her life.
Then she had him placed under
peace bonds and the separation fol-
lowed. Mrs. Farrell asks that she be
given an absolute divorce and that her
maiden name, which was Lizzie E.
Templeton, be restored.
In the case of Sarah E. Snyder the
complaint states that she and William
Snyder were married Oct Z, 1905, and
that they were separated on Dec. 10,
1906. This couple lasted but a year
and three months.
The good ship of matrimony with Dan
Cupid for its master went on the rocks
on the 18th of December. The com
plant does not state whether it was
Friday the thirteenth.
Mrs. Snyder alleges non-support says
that William went many days without
speaking and that he cursed her. She
asys that the court grant her an abso-
lutte divorce and the restoration of her
maiden name, Sarah E. Lamb

JUNK DEALER IS
IN TROUBLE
Police Make Arrest of Man
Who Buys Stolen Screws
From Boys.

Again the junk dealers alleged school
of crime came to light in the Hammond
police circles when Nathan Kohn was
arrested on the charge of unlawfully
purchasing junk from two West Ham
mond boys.
The preliminary hearing was held in
Judge William w. McMahon's city court
and the trial was set for Jan % at 2
o'clock The boys are said to have
stolen number of screws and to have
sold them to Nathan
The police say that when a junk
dealer buys articles of this kind from
boys the presumption is that they have
stolen them, for there is no way that
boys could legitimately get hold of ar
ticles of this kind
Yet they never take the trouble to in
auire as to the source of the purchases
and they buy the goods whether they
have been stolen or purchased.
The effect is to put premium on the
stealing of brass and other metals, and
the police are continually bothered with
petty thefts of the kind. They say the
conviction of a few of these men would
have good effect.

HAMMOND MAKING
4 HARD FIGHT
Gary Court Bill Is Ad-
vanced in the State

Here is what the Indianapolis Star
says today about the big court fight:
number of citizens of Hammond.
Lake county. were about the state
house yesterday working for the pas
sage of the bill to provide an addition
al judge for the Hammond superior
court and for the defeat of the Bowser
senate bill for superior court at
Gary.
The Hammondites passed booklets
about the two houses of the assembly.
telling what a fine place Hammond is
for additional court facilities and wbv
Gary should not have court. In addi-
ton to this copies of THE LAKE COUNTY
TIMES, in which Senator Bowser is as
sailed for introducing the Gary bill,
were mailed to the members of the
senate
However the Gary bill passed from
second to third reading with amend
ments only that We're friendly to II
Gary has agreed to provide a fine build
ing for the court and for local offices
to cost something like 500, 900 or 5000
600, and to foot the bill so that rho
court would be no expense to Lake
county as far as quarters are con-
cerned The provision of the bill that
the commissioners of Lake county
should provide quarters for the court
was stricken out at the request of
Garyites. just to show that thev were
sincere.

Lying Around in the Shape of SCI:
Snaps.

A discovery that may throw consider
able light on the surprising attitude of
Senator A. J. Bowser of Chesterton is
the fact that two of his brothers are
employed by the United States Steel
corporation at Gary and are receiving
good salaries for the work they do.

brothers, is the chief of the United

A Hammond man who made known
the facts in this city yesterday said

THE FAT BELLE
MADE A HIT
Boston Bellies Troupe Helps
Purdue Boys to Pass
the Time Away.
SHOW HERE SOME TIME AGO
Stage Paper Tells of Exciting Times
Had By Burlesquers In
Hanly's Town.
SHOW HERE SOME TIME AGO

The Boston Bellies, which caused
such a sensation in this city several
weeks ago, were given a rousing recep-
tiOn at Lafayette, Ind, recently, when
the theater in which they appeared was
stOrmed by students, who made things
interesting for the bellies while the
show went on.
The following from The Show World
gives something of the fun a lot of
college men can have when they make
up their minds to break up a show:
"As a fitting climax to a wild dem
onstration over the defeat of the wis
consin basketball team by the Purdue
five at Lafayette last Friday evening,
500 students took possession of the
Grand Opera House. a block away from
the skating rink where the game was
played. and made merry at a perform
ance of The Boston Bellies, a burles-
Tque show which pleased the boys i'm
mensely.
There was not a single woman in
the house, except on the stage, and the
students, augmented by several hun
dred citizens of the city were in the
audience The company delayed the
show until the game and as a result did
a tremendous business. In the stam-
pede at the box office. especially at
the gallery door, several hundred
forced their way in without paying.
The boys interrupted the show re-
peatedly with their college yells and
songs, but the shows was allowed to
proceed One of the chorus girls
weighing over 200 pounds. was the
principal attraction and she caught tha
fancy of the boys from the start The
jokes were a little out of the ordinary,
nut the young collegians didn't seem to
mind and apparently enjoyed the show.
IL was a great night for the Purdue
boys 1t was feared at first that a
police czlin sweetada lsave 90 be neces-
sary. The show made barrel of mon
ey at Lafayette"

ON WHAT
IT IS USED FOR
Minister and Charity Worker Take
Different Views But Even Clergy
Man Believes That Tainted Money
Can Be Pulled In the Work For
Which It Is Used.
when is money tainteds.

"When Is money tainted?"
That little question has created a SEN
Satton In the exclusive set of Marion
when it became known that the Minis
teriaI association, of which almost ev-
cry pastor in the city is a member. had
questioned the advisabiIity of the Fed
grated Charities society accepting mon
ey that was raised at charity card
party conducted by prominent society
women and at which prizes were
awarded to the successful players.
If the statements from a Hammond
minister and a lady who figured promi-
nently in the charity organization last
year may be taken as d criterion. Ham
mond's conception differs from that of
the Marion Ministerial association. The
Rev. J. E. Sharp of the Baptist church.
in speaking of money secured by Civ
ing card parties for charity, said:
Thinks 1t Might BE Purified.
would not advocate card playing
as a means to raising money for char
ity. However. ! believe so-caIled
tainted money can be purified in the
good work for which it is used"
The Hammond lady who was an ac-
tive worker in the charity commit
tee last year did not consider the ques-
ton very seriously. She said that she
could not speak for the committee as a
whole, provided it is still in existence
but that to her thinking any money
that finds its way into her pocket
book is not tainted. The lady in oues-
tion is considered one of Hammond's
best charity workers and prominent
place was awarded her on the commit
tee for her good common sense that she
displays.
