UNHAPPY COUPLES
APPEAR IN COURT
Vermont Couple Fall Out
Over Finances, Wife Says
Hubby Deceived Her.

Divorces were filed in the Lake SUI
perior court which have necessitated
the revelation OF the unhappy mar
ried life of two Lake county couples
In one, Eva Hibbard has brought
an action against VIM. A. Hibbard. in
which she alleges that they were mar
ried in Vermont on June 1e, 1907, and
were separated In May. 1908
AT the time of their marriage Hib-
bard is alleged to have deceived his
fiancee as to the amount of his wealth
by claiming that he was the owner
of considerable property in Vermont
He was afterwards found to be with
out fortune and he then made an
effort to have his wife convey to him
what little she owned
She refused to do so this resulted.
according to her complaint, in the per-
secution of herself by her husband and
his grown sons by a former marriage
Ibach & Cravens have the case.
Case Is >PftifuL
The case of Debbie Peterson is even
more pitiful. She was married to
Harry Peterson July 29, 1903, and was
separated from him Nov. 27, 1909 <She
alleges that he visited women of i'll
repute and made no secret of his
clandestine meetings with women of
that character.
She alleges that he even made ar
rangements by which cousin of his
met woman of bad character and
brought her to their home. There are
other details of the complaint that
no decent paper could print, and the
case is a sensation.
The couple are said to have moved
from Crown Point to Lowell and back
to Crown Point again. All this while
the defendant is alleged to have asso-
ciated promiscuously with other wo-
men. Schuyler c. Dwyer of Lowell has
the case. Mrs. Peterson asks $500
alimony and 81 a month for the support
of their one child.

FRANCHISE MATTERS

If Board Grants Northwest

At least one interurban street car
f-aAhise had its inning this week,
with the possibility that favorable ac-
tion may be taken on it early next
week. Unless there is a hitch, not
now looked for. the indications are that
construction work will begin on the
Indiana Northwestern Traction COM
pany line in a few weeks The COM
pany says that it is ready to break
ground forty Eight hours after the
franchise is granted. but the board of

days time in which to begin their

may raise this amount to $4,000. The
company has furnished the mayor and
the board with good references as to
the personal intergrity of the men be-
hind the proejct, but the board is going
to make the test of good faith or
whether the company is willing to put

STRIKE ON RAILROAD
LASTS But ONE DAY
Indiana Harbor Railway Co.
Accedes to Demands of
Section Men.

An amicable settlement has been
reached between the officials of the In
diana Harbor Belt railroad and the
striking section men and foremen, and
consequently the strike was called off
last night The men went back to
work this morning. The strike lasted
one day.
The bone of contention as far as the
strikers were concerned was an alleged
breach of promise on the part of R. B.
Seymore, the general engineer of the
road. to give all the section foremen
an increase of S5 a month in their
wages The increase, however, affected
only thirteen out of the twenty-three
section bosses, and consequently a
sympathetic strike was on between the
foremen, who received the increa Sc
and those who were overlooked. as well
as the track men. 1t is understood that
the company conceded to give all the
foremen an increase of So month.

NEW HOTEL
MOVEMENT
UNDER WAY
Plans Are Being Drawn for
a Five Story Structure to
Be Built on Holman Be
tween Muenich Court and
Russell Street.

A movement is on foot for a new ho-
tel in Hammond. DR.. H c. Grornan
and Gus Muenich, who are the own
ers of so feet of Holman street 'front.'
age between Muenich court and Rus
sell street are now having plans drawn
for five story hotel building
They have talked over the matter of
having a stock company formed for
the purpose of raising the necessary
amount of money with which to build
the hotel and have been assured by
a number of the business men the
necessary amount can be raised.
While the new hotel will not be as
fine 1t was hoped. Hammond next
hotel will be a first-class hotel in ev-
cry respect and will be a credit to the
city
1t will be built and constructed with
the idea of charging from 81 to 81 so
for the rooms. 1t will be of fireproof
construction and will be an attractive
building in every way.
Business Men Interested
There is nothing definite about the
proect at the 2resent time 1t is only
known that there are several hotel
men who would take hold of a propo-
sition of the kind and would manage it.
One of the restaurants in the city
would also agree to rent a store room
on the main floor for restaurant pur-
poses.
1t is believed that the project will
pay along the lines that it has been
started. The proposition is to be put
up to the Hammond Business Mems
association at its meet next Thursday
and it is expected that it will be en-
couraged by them.
