to the city. On the other hand. those
opposed to what they termed feather
buster reform" said that the pictures
were no worse than open saloons on
Sunday, and that some real reform
work could be done by barring the
youth from a court room where such
evidence as Annie Zimmerman gave last
week could be heard.
1t is understood that the members of
the police board had decided not to take
any steps against the exhibiting or the
fight pictures unless there should be
serious complaint from the citizens of
Hammond.
When the ministers of the city made
their complaint it was seen that action
could no longer be deferred. Chief
Austgen was notified of the action of
the board, and he at once communi-

it will probably prevent the exhibition
of fight pictures in this city for some
time to come.

WOMAN IS
BOUND OVER
ON SATURDAY

In the trial of Mrs Star Martin of
Hammond. charged with bigamy. at the
city court in Michigan City. she was
bound over to the Laporte circuit court
She was prosecuted at the instance
of Lincoln Felker, her legal husband
Mrs. Felker claims to have been Of
the opinion that a divorce had been
granted to her in spite of the fact that
the records show the case to have been
dismissed.
1t is understood that the filing of a
complaint by Attorneys Mcmahon &
Conroy of Hammond asking that the
marriage with the second husband be
annulled was merely step to head
off the prosecution of Mrs. Martin on
the charge of bigamy.
This seemed to have little effect in
the city court. where the preliminary
hearing was held, and it remains to be
seen what effect il will have in the up
per courts.
