& Southern railroad won fine steam

George w. Lewis won a couple of golf
balls. Considering the fact that there
were only about twenty prizes awarded,
the Hammond and Lake county crowd
was very fortunate.

PETITION
IS IN COURT
Atty. Bixby Makes Charges
in Answer Filed in
Illinois Court.

Attorneys Irving and Bixby, who are
representing certain West Hammond
property owners, have fled an answer
before a Chicago judge in which they
allege the petition for certain i'm
provement is incomplete, informal and
otherwise invalid. Probably the most
startling allegation is that the board
of town trustees are guilty of fraud
and conspiracy in voting for the i'm
provement. In view of the fact that
Attorney Bfxby was a candidate for the
office of town attorney in West Ham
mond and was turned down by the
board, a great many Of the property
owners there are smiling at his action
in trying to have the assessments set
aside.
Makes Many Allegations.
Mr.. Bixby claims that he is repre-
senting the common people in graft
ridden community. He alleges that the
petition does not comply with the pro-
visions of the statutes; that the the
assessments were not levied in proper
tion to the benefits flowing" from the
Improvement; that the assessment ex-
ceeds the benefits; that no public notice
of the intention to improve the proper
ty was given; that the proceeding was
tinged with fraud and conspiracy; that
none of the records of the town board
regarding the transaction were keptI
that there were erasures on the petition
after 1t was filed, and finally that s.
K. Markham, the present town attorney

the entire cost of the proposed i'm
provement for his work.
Attorney Bixby claims that he vii,
have the whole petition thrown out Of
court on the representations that h'
has made and that the West Hammond
property owners will be saved a larg,
per cent of money thereby.
The matter will come up before the

Incendiary or Accidentr

According to their political beliefs Jack
son and Breathitt county men stigmatize
the firing Of the Dealin home as incen-
diary or accidental. The most reliable re-
port from the place. which is twenty-five
miles away. is that Mrs. Dealin was feed
ing the Lexington soldiers. under Capt.
Sans, when the fire occurred.
The ballots were reported burned. and
fresh ones were furnished from Jackson.
These are the ballots which an armed
