FOR SEAMAN
COMPANY

Several legal phases are involved in
the temporary injunction case of the
Gary and Southern Interurban (Sea-
mon line) against the city of Gary
which was granted Yesterday by Spec
ial Judge Barr in the circuit court at
Crown Point.
When the city OF Gary first prevented
the company from laying it's tracks on
newly annexed territory after ii had
received franchise from the county
commissioners an injunction restrain
ing the city was asked from the court
This was granted and pending the
temporary restraining order the city Of
Gary had the court TO prohibit the
street car company from laying tracks
until the matter is settled 1t will go
into the September term of court
As the case now stands the company
is bound not to lay tracks. However.
should the Gary city council grant a
franchise to company to operate cars
in the south end of the city the Gary
and Southern people are now longer
bound by the courts mandate They
can proceed to lay tracks at once and
II the city officials attempt to stop
them the penalty will be a jail sent
ence for contempt of court. Wilder

Fifteen days will be spent next

complete schedules are now being ar
ranged by Commissioners George W.

announcement within few days.
This series Is part of the great
scheme of covering the state with in
stitute work. -ne trip will be begun
about December S. starting from this
city over the Atlantic Coast Line. 1t
is planned to have the first stop at
Chester, and there will be perhaps four
other meetings between that place and
the North Carolina line. It appears
that only a few points can be reached
on the other branch of the Atlantic
Coast Line IN Virginia, between North
Carolina and Norfolk. and it is probable
that the Southern will be taken. Most
likely there will be a series of in
stitutes on the Franklin and Pittsyl-
vania branch of the Southern, begin
ming at Danville and ending at Stuart.
in Patrick county
Inasmuch as all points this time will
be reached by railroads which contri-
butte their trains free of charge, the
expense of the trip will be confined
to the pay and expenses of the lee
turers. In the long series which has

with Miss Gladys Nergine Bradley.
daughter of Charles II. Bradley, of AL
Clinton Avenue. Bridgeport, Conn, and
applied for a license. Thaw gave his
age as thirty three. Miss Bradley SAID
she was twenty-one.
She is sister of Mrs. Anthony j.
DreNel Biddle, of Philadelphia. she
consented to become Thaw's wife only
after his mother guaranteed that he
would reform his habits and that she.
the parent, would be responsible for
his conduct. The engagement was an

Four years ago the pace he was
leading became SO hot that Thaw's
mother sought to have him examined

100000 She had him adjudged an
habitual drunkard. But further court

About that time he performed his
most sensational feat. In the Ale

glasses of brandy and and never
turn a hair" He won the bet, but
spent several months in a hospital re-
covering from the effects Of the huge
consumption of liquor.
Ten gears ago he was travelling with
his family in Egypt. AT Cairo he dis
appeared. He was not seen for two
months, though detectives hunted for
him. One day he appeared at tile hotel

with great difficulty that the family

drunk was to get on an ocean liner
without enough money to pay his pas

enough to find some one from Pitts

get him out of the scrape.
