THIS LADY
SURE SOME
PUG|L|ST

Frank N. Baker has brought an ac-
tion for a divorce against Laura E.
Baker through his attorney, H. c.
Price of Gary. According to the COM
plaint Mrs. Baker is some pugilist.
Baer alleges that she had a per-
nicious, not to say ugly, little way of
striking him in the face with her fists.
The couple was married Oct. Is, 1897
and separated Sept. 80, 1910. Abandon
ment is also charged.
Baker also alleges that his wife was
guilty of improper relations with Rob
ert Brown. They have four children

children have been taken from the
plaintiff and he asks for their custody

Lowell, Ind, Oct. 11=But little trou-
Bile is anticipated by the Lowell citi-
zens in securing a right of way for
the Northwestern Traction company
President Eugene Purtelle, of the com
pany, was in Lowell last Friday night
to confer with the citizens about build
ing the road. He said that the right
of way from Lowell to Crown. Point
had been staked and that all that re-
mained to be done for the present was
to get the right of way. A committee
was appointed to carry on the nego-
tiations for the company in this mat
ter. This committee consists of the fol-
lowing: ]. W. Belshaw, Frank Strick-
land, Albert Hull, Edward Brownell
and Harry Johnson.
While no trouble is anticipated in a
general way to secure the right of way
it is also generally known that there
are one or two parties along the route
who are speculating on getting ex-
orbitant price for their property.

Mcllroy has had a great deal of ex-
