ACTION TO Be DEFERRED
Attorneys May Drop Ap
peals From Board in
Certain Event.

1t is not likely that there will be any
action taken in the courts regarding
the Gary remonstrance until after the
legislature adjourns, and the saloon
keepers can see what is going to be
done regarding tn elocal option ques-
tion.
Judge Virgil S. Refers decision will
probably not be rendered until after
the legislature adjourns and his de-
cision will decide the dropping or re-
opening Of the case. according to the
conditions as they exist then.
There was an intimation that the at
torneys representing the saloonkeepers
would drop their appeals from the de-
cision of the commissioners court. but
nothing along this line will be done,
at least. until they learn what the leg
islature will do.

BLAMES WOODS
FOR THEIR DEFEAT
University Club Men Are
Beaten Last Night by
Hammond Athletics.

The Hammond Athletic club defeated
the Hammond University club in a
bowling contest held on local alleys last
evening by a total of 81 pints. The
defeat of the Hammond University club
team may be directly attributed to the
poor bowling of Roscoe e. Woods, the
captain of the team, who was unable
to bowl under foul-line rules and con-
sequently fell far below the average
maintained by the rest of the team. In
Griffin replaced Woods and bowled
good game.
The enforcement of the foul-line
rule worked a hardship to the whole
University club team. whose members
have not been used to strictly observing
the rule that the bowler must not run
over the foul line.
None of the averages in the game
were high. The highest average was
bowled by w. ]. McAleer of the Uni
versity club team, who averaged 172.
The highest average on the Hammond
Athletic club team was bowled by
Frank Bradford, who bowled an aver
age of 165 2-3. He was closely followed
by Bick. who bowled 165.
Away Below Average.
Neither the Hammond Athletic club
team nor the Hammond University club
team bowled the game of which they
were capable Greenwald only aver
aged 164 and he bowls consistently
around 100. All of the others on the
University club were away below their
averages.
On the Hammond Athletic club team
Steinmitz was only able to make an
average of 139, when he usually bowls
around 100 and 200. Beib, Bick and
Bradford are all capable of bowling
better games than they did last even
ing.
1t is expected that another game will
be arranged between the two clubs,
with some one substituted for Woods
on the University club team. and it is
believed that the next contest will be a
close one.

BECKER
T Township Assessor Puts
Township Trustees Fur
niture and Chattels in Su-
perior Court Building Out
in Cold, Cold Warld.

That a house divided against itself
cannot stand was proven in the
perior court building this morning
when John c. Becker arrived at the
court house only to find that all of
his possessions had been moved from
the room In which he was located and
that as far as an Ofhce-roOm is con-
cerned he is homeless.
There has been trouble brewing in
the court house for a long time. The
principal reason has been the fact that

Status of the Case.
When B. Z. Escher was reelected
township assessor and he found that
Township Trustee +. Richard Schaaf
was to be replaced by John c. Becker
he played the part of the early bird"
and appeared before the county COM
missioners, where he asked permission
to occupy Schaaf's office.
He readily secured consent from them
and moved in Immediately. When John
C. Becker discovered that he had been
elected over Sam Ableman he, too, went
before the county commissioners and
asked that he be given an office in the
court house.
The county commissioners told Mr..
Becker that they thought they could
fit hin out with an office in the room
on the main floor of the building which
corresponds TO the office of the su-
perior court building.
Sheriff Tom Grant, the custodian OF
the superior court building, objected
to this, however. for he needed this
room for the purpose Of storing good:

Becker Could Find No Place.
/ This left Trustee Becker out in thu
cold. b. Z. fischer consented to Beck

some arrangement was made by whicl
Becker could locate in some other of

Mr. Becker did not seem inclined K
move, however, and the difficulties be

grew day by day. This morning whei
Mr. Becker found that he had beel

In accordance with their custom of

\. W.8E. C. LINE
IS ALSO UPSET
Erie and Michigan Central Trains
Are Compelled to Change Their
Passage Plans Through City and
Traffic on c., L. S. & S. B. Line Is
interrupted.

The short-circuit1ng of the trolley
wires of the Chicago, Lake Shore and
South Bend interurban line by that of
the Hammond, Whiting and East Chi
oago street railway company on North
Holman street in Hammond this morn
ing at nve O'Clock delayed traffic on
bOth systems for nearly two hours
and prevented many workingmen from
reaching their work at the usual hour.
The trouble was caused when the
South Shore line trolley burned of at
the Holman street crossing, north of
the wabash tracks, and the wire fell
on the trolley wire of the Hammond
Whiting and East Chicago line. In
stantIy there was an enormous flame
of incandescent brilliance and both OF
the electric systems we're paralized.
Traffic Badly Hampered.
Up until nine o'clock traffic had not
been restored on the South Shore line
between Hammond and Gary and while
traffic on the Hammond, Whiting and
East Chicago line was delayed for quite
a time, the cars were all running al
seven o'clock.
The delay of traffic on the Hammond
Whiting and East Chicago line came
very near causing tie up of two trunk
railways in Hammond. A street car
No. 365. on the short line was JUS
CT crossing the Erie and Michigan Centra
tracks on Holman street when th'
power was suddenly cut off and the
car stopped right over the Erie tracks
and iwth the front of the car jus
clearing the Michigan Central tracks
by about two inches.

The Erie emigrant passenger train
going west was compelled to eros
oven on to the left hand track in orde
to get past the car slowly without hit
ting it.
Manager Green of the Fl. w. & E. c
line reports that the short circuitint
of the wires put his Hammond sub
station out of commission and Will

time until the dynamos in the substa

piled to Judge Virgil S. Reiter of the

her husbands store.
1t appears that Mrs. Zeblen loaned
her husband 5000 with which to pur-
chase a stock of groceries. providing
he would deed her lot and pay the
money back in small installments.
The husband did not keep his word
and Mrs Zeblen was compelled to ap-

ment of a receiver to prevent her hus-
bands running away with the money
which she claims belongs to her.

partment and Chief T. E. Higgins of
this city yesterday afternoon. 1t is
understood that the Hammond police
received a clew to the whereabouts of
the Trenton bail jumper from man in
the Standard Steel Car district. Nyis-
zitor attempted to maintain his ignor-
ance of any charges against him at
first, but finally consented to accom-
pany the officers. The Hammond de-
partment will no doubt get the reward
for his apprehension.
Nyiszitor was reported to the police
in this city several weeks ago as hav-
ing deserted his wife and an effort was
made at that time to locate him. He
evidently went to the New Jersey city
where he got intro trouble with the
authorities. He was indicted to appear
before he grand jury in Trenton but
managed 70 jump his pail BOND and re-
turn to this city. The Trenton officials
believed that he would return at once
o East Chicago and telegraphed his
description to Chief Higgins. A visit
was made to the house in which he
formerly lived but Nyiszitor was not
there and had not been seen for several
weeks. The local department then
dropped the chase, deciding that the
man had left the city And the part
that really hurts is that the Hammond
