CHAPTER xxx.
ln lac DINING Q

That was Saturday night, two weeks
after the wreck. The previous five
days had been fun of swift-following
events-the in the house next
door, the picture in the theater of a
man about to leap from the doomed
train, the dinner at the Dallaes, and
Richey's discovery that Alison was
the girl in the case. In quick success
sion had come our visit 10 the Carter
place, the finding of the rest Of the
telegram, my seeing Alison there, and
the strange interview with Mrs. Con

my memory for its serio-comie horrors
and it's one real thrill. Then-the dis.

PEOPLE: WILL
GET BUSY

The TINES story of the proposal of
certain of the south side property own
ers to take steps that will eliminate
the abandoned tracks of the Chicago,
Cincinnati & Louisville railroad at
tracted great deal of attention.
Attorney L. L Bomberger took the
matter up with w. c. Belman and May
or Lawrence Becker, and the latter
promosed that he would make an in
vestigation with the idea of deter
mining what can be done to eliminate
the tracks.
There have been a large number Of
Homewood people who have expressed
the opinion that the tracks ought to
be removed at once. 1t is possible
that the matter will come up in the
Hammond Business Mems association
at its next meeting.
The opinion is freely expressed that
a mistake was made IN allowing the
tracks to be put down in the first
place and now that an opportunity pre-
sents itself to have them removed the
people expect to take advantage of it.

shown this week in the superior court

1t is estimated that about 5000 peo-

satisfied with the attendance, taking
into consideration the fact that big

JUSTICES
60 OUT OF
OFFICE

AS soonA as their successors qualify
there wsgSbe a number of justices of
the peace in North township who will
step out of office. Tomorrow is the
last day that Justice Hugo Kaske will
preside as justice. He will be replaced
by James III. Jameson of Highlands.
Lester f. Ladd of East Chicago takes
the place cf William Reiland of East
Chicago. Rei1and leaves the office with
the reputation of having been one of
the best Justices that Lake county ever
had. The only reason for his defeat
is the fact that he is a democrat. His
successor, however, is well qualified
for the office and is expected to make
an efficient public official.
Bob Atchison takes the place of G.
w. Jones of East Chicago as soon as
he can qualify. 1t is believed that all
of these changes will take place with
in q few days.
Charles Merryweather, who has been
the constable in Judge Prest's court.
was defeated for the nomination, and
in view of the fact that none of the
constables seem inclined to appoint
him as deputy it is likely that he
will have to seek employment at some
other work. Merryweather is regarded
as one of the busiest, livelfest wires
who ever held the position as constable
in this city
