Capt. Warner took the lead and the

Filed Suit TODAY.

Henry Yahn OF Gary. through his at
torneys, has fled suit in the Lake su-
perior court in which he seeks $4,000
damages for injuries he is alleged to
have received as a result of falling over
a high curbing on a dimly lighted
street.
He claims that his left leg was brok-
en- and that he was taken to Mercy hos
pital in Gary by the Gary police. The
most serious allegation in the com
plant is that the Gary police were so
careless in handling the injured man
that they let him rop on the pavement
and he was SO badly injured that he
suffered a compound fracture of the
leg and sharp pieces OF bone protruded
through the flesh.
The plaintiff alleges that he was
damaged to the extent of $4,000.

signed, Refuse to Give Any
Reasons Whatever.

If Dan Cupid is believed to be guilty
of the grossest cupidity in causing the
resignation of six well-known Ham
mond school teachers?
The little rascal will not admit the
facts and it is denied in other quar-
tiers, but the fact remains neverthe-
less that six teachers have handed in
their designations and viii not teach
here next year.
Last year the announcement Of the
resignation of several of the school
teachers caused considerable excitement
and there was quite a shaking up Of
the school teaching force as a result.
Not Especially Significant.
This year. however. things are diff
ferent, and that fact that six out of
the scores of teachers who are en-
ployed in the Hammond schools have
resigned is not especially significant.
The teachers who will not teach in
Hammond next year. according to their
expressed intention are: Miss Bernett
and Miss Learner of the Franklin
school, Miss Mickey of the Lincoln
school. Miss Marsh of Riverside. Miss
Richards of the Lafayette school and
Miss Sage of the Wallace school.
