a widow with 4 family to support. and
received strong support both in tbs

to contest the election, claiming that
Mrs. Lucas under the law became 4
resident of Fort Dodge with her mar
riaae. and that the wife's home mus
be where the LEGAL residence of her
husband is established. He also argued
that Mrs. Lucas had conducted 4
sympathy campaign and had secured
support in the election because of the
fact that she was the sole support OF
a family.
The case came up for hearing be-
fore the supervisors Monday. II two
days werc consumed in presenting evil

F|REMEA'S DANCE
WAS A DANDY
Ball at East Chicago Satur
day Was lone Grand
Society Event.

East Chicago, May 31-The fire.
mems dance given Saturday night at
the Lewis rink, was another monu-
ment to the hospitality of the fire de-
partment, and the responsiveness of
the East Chicago and Indiana Harbor
public.
From o'clock until some time past
midnight. there was a sound of rev.
cry and all the elite, youth and
beauty and gallantry of the Twin CT
ties. gave themselves up to the en-
joyment of the dance. 1t rained. but
little things like that did not deter
a vast crowd from assembling at the
scene of the festivities, and the re-
suit was a social and financial sue
cess for the undertaking.
The grand march was an elaborate
and complex feature of the event. 1T
commenced at about $50 O'Clock. when
Chief Benjamin Flack with Mrs. Flack
led a long column of promenaders.
across the polished floor The column
broke into two branches, marched and
counter marched. uniting to form four
abreast and finally eight, and the sight
was one to be remembered There were
two faux pas. or two. but on the whole
the intricate march was decidedly well
executed, and rejected credit on its
leaders. Assistant Fire Chief James
Doherty, with Miss r.ane, assisted
Chief and Mrs. F1eck in leading. and
did their part in most praiseworthv
manner. A. J. Marke also had hand
in the conducting of the march. stand
ing at the head of the hall to assist in
the marchers
The music was furnished by
Schmult's orchestra of five pieces and
wac very pleasing. There were quite
a large number of out-of- town guests
present. including the chief OF the fire
department of Hammond. and special
provision had been made with the
street car companies to see that everv-
body got home all right.

BURNS DITCH CASE
COMES UP At vALPO
Project Involving Thou
sands of Dollars to Be
Tried in Porter County.

The trial of the big Burns ditch pro-
Ject involving thousands of dollars and
Affecting the drainage of thousands of
acres of swamp lands in Lake and Por-
ter counties comes up at Valparaiso
today in the Porter county circuit
court before Judge William c. Nc
Mahon
1t is stated by one of the prominent
attorneys the trial of the case will last
at least month and will be bitterly
contested not only by the railroads but
by the land owners as we'll A score
OF attorneys representing the carious
interests are In Valparaiso today ready
to enter into the big legal battle
since the recent decision OF the
supreme court in which it was decided
that the railroads would either have to
maintain or construct new bridges
large enough for the flow of the stream
the project now appears most encourage
ing.
There will be only two things that
will be considered by Judge Mcmahon
IN his decision-whether the cost OF the
construction will work hardship on the
taxpayers and whether the ditch is a
public utility
Even If Judge Mcmahon does decide
these points in favor of the promoters
of the ditch, the case is then only half
won. as the case against each separate
remonstrator for the adjustment of as
sessments against each party affected
will be made. These in themselves NAV
defeat the project.
There are four railroads that now
cross the new survey of the ditch.
namely: The Michigan Central. The
Baltimore & Ohio, The Chicago & In
diana Southern and the Lake shore &
Michigan Southern. The former two
already have bridges constructed across
the Calumet and IT will only be neces-
sary to build larger structures, but the
Lake Shore and Chicago & Indiana
