in evidence. Even the Conger lawyers
seemed surprised when Mr.. Littleton

number of divorce cases were
heard in the Lake superior court yes

cided that Mrs. Burk would drop her
complaint and that Mr.. Burk would
get the divorce. Attorney Sickman rep
resented Mrs. Burk but did not make

tried and Charles E. Greenwald. repre-
senting the state. appeared against
Burk. In the evidence of the witness
Greenwald discovered that Mr. and

der Strange Circumstances

The fifteen months old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs Walter Gruszka, 534 Nor
ton avenue in East Hammond. was
accidentally killed last night when a
wagon belonging to Sam Carley and
driven by William Hart struck her. Up
to noon today the inquest had not yet
been held and consequently the re-
ports about the accident varied. The
accident happened in the alleg between
Morton and Ames avenue off Howard
avenue, accirding to the police report,
while another report is to the effect
that Hart's team instead of following
the driveway in the alley went into a
lot where the child was playing in the
sand. The accident happened about Z
o'clock.
Two hundred people gathered around
the scene of the accident in a short
time but no violence was threatened
the driver. He was placed under two
hundred dollars bond which he furnish
ed and his case has been continued un-
til after the inquest.

"T" Rails to Be Laid in
Place of the Old Girder
Steel.

The work of double tracking State
street by the Hammond. Whiting and
East Chicago Electric Railway Co. will
begin next week. This is an improve
ment that will greatly facilitate the
handling of cars.
In place of the old girder rails the
heavy IT" rails will be laid and the
roadbed will be greatly improved A
large gang of workmen will be put on
the job and 1t Is expected that 1t will
be completed in a short time. The rails
have been on the siding for several
weeks.
The work on the Harvey extension
from Hammond will begin in a few
weeks and Manager Green stated today
that this branch would be in opera

STATE STREET PATCH
WORK IN FOUR PLACES
Complaint Regarding Way
Work Is Being Done on
Thoroughfare.

great deal of complaint has been
made of the action of the Hammond
board of public works in authorizing
the paving of only that portion of state
street from Oakley avenue to Calumet
avenue.
The pavinng of State street has al
ready been done by patches so that it
will be years before the matter can
finally be Strengthened out. The first
part of State street to be paved was
from the state line to Holman street
The next patch to be paved was from
Holman street to Oakley avenue and
this was done a year or two after the
first The third patch to be done will
be from Oakley avenue to Sohl street,
the paving of which was recently
authorized and in a year or two it will
be necessary to pave State street from
Sohl to Calumet avenue.
This means that before State street
is paved from the state line to Calumet
avenue there will be four different
patches of pavements put, in all of
different ages.
When the West State street paving
wears out the paving from Sohl street
will be in good condition and this patch
ing process viii have to be continued
| Indefinitely.

GRANT HAS new
PROBLEM ON HAND
How to Garry Out Courts
Order and Keep Prisoners
From Public View.
Especial to THE TINES

Crown Point, Ind. June 24-In
speaking of the probability of working
the prisoners at the county jail upon
public work and highways Sheriff
Grant voiced his opinion of the topic
now much under discussion and al
though favoring the plan to a great
extent said that there were times and
conditions when the idea of working
the criminals, under strong guard in
public places might prove more of a
detriment morally to the prisoners
the benefit derived from their work.
The sight OF man working upon a
public highway under guard or with a
ball and chain attached to him. is not
an elevating spectacle and it is a mat
ter of common knowledge that a
criminal obliged to spot himself before
the public gaze is liable to be more or
and therefore Sheriff Grant does not
believe in the practicability of work
ing the prisoner in towns or cities.
The Lake County sheriff says that
just as soon as appropriation is
made to pay for guards etc. and the
proper order is given him he is per-
fectly willing to try the plan, although
he believes that the prisoners should
be kept at work in places little fire.
Quented by the public possible
The sheriff has made quite a study OF
the question and has some excellent
ideas as to the feasibility OF the plan

BURNS DITCH CASE
CONTINUED TO 0CT.lO
Petitions Are Disappointed
Over Fact and Work Can
not Begin Till Next Year.

The Burns ditch case yesterday went
over until October 10. 1t was hoped
that Judge Steis would be able to com
plete the hearing of the attorneys on
the matter of the assessments this
week in time TO take up the trial Of
another case in Pulaski county next
Monday but yesterday he saw that he
could not get through and so it was
decided to continue the case until next
fall.
The continuance case as a surprise
to the attorneys in the case and those
who represented the petitioners are
very much disappointed. 1t means a
further delay of several months and
will make it impossible to begin the
work on the ditch before next year.
The case has been one OF the most
hotly contested that was ever tried in
this locality and resulted in a victory
for the people and the defeat OF he
railroad attorneys who were lighting
the proposition.

ATTORNEY WILL TAKE
STATE AUTO TRIP
But Will Not Conduct an
Active Candidacy Until
September.

If Attorney Joseph Ibach of Ham
mond is out for the elusive judgeship
on the appellate bench, for which he
has been nominated by the democrats
of Indiana, he is not campaigning as
hard as he might at the present time
that is as far as appears on the sur
face.
Judge Ibach said today that he had
not been very active thus far and in
timated that things politically would
not be stirred up until about Septem-
ber. In the meantime he expects to
enjoy vacation, putting in such Incl
dental licks as might lie within range.
About the first of next month Judge
Ibach expects as part of his vacation to
take an auto tour through part of
the state and this undoubtedly Will
bring him in touch with many of the
leading men of the party.
In the meantime Judge Ibach is in
the hands of his friends who are de-
termined to see him clother with the
ermine. Nor his friends in the
democratic party alone.
