NONE TILL MONDAY

Owing to the fact that so many Of
the lawyers are out of the city and
will be unable to attend court It is not
likely that there will be any more
court in the Lake superior court until
Monday.
So many of the lawyers are out of
the city that it is almost impossible
to get enough of the lawyers together

Mrs. Albert Orcutt VS.. Albert Orcutt
was tried and the decree was grant
ed. There was little else done in court
this morning.

POLICE ARE WONDERING
What Became of the Man
Who Threw Purse into
Discard?

The Hammond police received a re-
port from Mrs. Stark, 342 Plummer av-
enue, that well-dressed man had
passed her house and was seen to
throw a pocketbook into the weeds
nearby.
Officer Borchert was sent to the
place and discovered a ladies' pocket
book containing several handkerchiefs.
a key and pair of scissors. The po-
lice at once acted on the assumption
that the man had found or stolen the
purse and after taking the money out
of it had thrown it away.
An ef@rt was made to locate the
man, who was well dressed. but he had
time to escape by that time and no
trace of him could be found.

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 2S.-The SEN
ate committee on the organization of
courts yesterday afternoon made a
unanimous report in favor of the pas
sage of the bill for an additional Judge
of the superior court at Hammond.
This is believed to be a solution of the
fight that has been waged between the
forces of Gary and Hammond for the
relief of court conditions in Lake coun-
ty Hammond wants an additional
Judge for it's superior court and Gary
wants a superior court established
there. For a while it looked like
neither place would get what it was
after, but now the aspect Of things has
changed and it looks like each place
will get court. The Gary bill has
passed the senate and the Hammond
