Not Last Long, and Part
of Judge Gillett's An
swer Is Stricken Out.

Attorney George Bardon's interven-
ing petitions did not last long after
Judge Hanly had a chance to rule on
them. Earlier Saturday morning the
judge said that If he found evidences
of fraud he would certainly order the
names which were secured by fraud
stricken from the remonstrance.
This was taken by the vets" to
mean that he was in sympathy with
their position in the matter, but their
he later on stated that what they had
claimed as fraud did not constitute
fraudulent act.
The second paragraph of Judge Gill
lett's amended answer was ordered
stricken out. but that is not thought
to have impaired the chances of the
vets winning along the line of
Judge Gillett's attack.
Among those who were in the court
room, representing the "drys" were
Rev. George E. Deuel., A. c. Mayo. John
E. Sears, J. I. Murray, John Nagel,

WHY?

What right has the board
Of public works of Hammond
to insist that the Indiana &
Chicago Traction company
come into the city on the Red
Line loop? Why is the board
of public works filibustering
with this franchise? Why
did the Gary & Interurban
get its franchise into Ham
mond without having to come
to terms with the A. L. Drum
company? Why is the Becker
organ fighting against the In
diana & Chicago franchise.
and why did it fight for the
Gary & Interurban franchise?
These are questions that The
Times has been asked to pre-
sent to the people of Ham
mond by different members of
the Hammond Business Mems
Association today.

About $50 worth of jewelry was taken
She entered the house through the
front door and went upstairs, unaware
of the fact that there was a burglar
in the house She attempted to enter
one of the bedrooms when the door
she opened was closed in her face. She
made another attempt to open the door
and again some one in the chamber
closed it,
By this time she was thoroughly
frightened and became convinced that
there was a stranger IN the house She
little realized that the burglar was
just as frightened as she and that he
did not know what minute he would
have to face a full grown man pre-
ceded by a SS-caliber revolver. Her
hysterieal screams alarmed the entire
neighborhood and men rushed out. be-
Heying murder had been committed.

The girl fed precipitousIy towards

In the meantime the burglar. beIiev-

cut of. rushed to a south window and
literally jumped through the screen to

Work.

Cuwardly Work.
1t is believed in some quarters that
dynamite is being used in the lakes
on the Snowy range for getting the
trout from those waters. The man
who would use dynamite on the game
fish of this state is devoid of every in
stinct of the true sportsman, and if
caught should be made to feel that
the wrath of the genuine fisherman of
Wyoming is behind the game and fish
laws of the state which seek to pre-
vent this wanton aud unsportsman-
like method of getting fish that the
perpetrator, perhaps, had not skill
enough to land with hook and line
