Sickman Calls Grown Point
the "City Of Red
Barns"

Attorney William II. Sickman, the
famous divorce attorney, has flied a
complaint in which Mary Lotus seeks
to secure a legal separation from Will
liam LOTUS, her husband.
The couple were married in West
Hammond. Nov. IA, 1904 and were
separated Jan. Is, 1911. Sickman
makes his stereotyped allegations
namely that the defendant is the
'owner is in possession of an I'M
governab BILE temper" and tina. he would
fly into rage and call the plaintiff all
manner of names.
William LOTUS is now in durance
vile at Crown Point after having be-
come Intoxicated in a public place in
Hammond. In view of this fact it was
necessary for Sickman to inform the
Sheriff where he could get service on
the defendant. The following is char
acteristic of Hammond's humorous and
philosophical Blackstone"
To the High Sheriff of Lake County:
You will find the defendant in the
case, Lotus VS. LOTUS, in that village OF
red barns. Crown Point. guest al

neys Bruce and Mathews, ot the anti
saloon league, filed before the supreme
court in indianapolis a supplemental
motion to dismiss the appeal of Messrs.
Binzen and Scanlon in their case
against George e. Deuel. ct al.
In their petition the attorneys for
the anti-saloon league give as grounds
for the dismissal the fact that the new
Proctor law declares that there shall
not be more than thirty-four saloons
in Gary. This presents a new angle
to the case inasmuch as general inter-
pretations are to the effect that all
present legal saloons may continue to
stay in business.
Binzen and Scanlon were victims OF
the Gary remonstrance which closed
their saloons for two hours. Their eff
forts to fight the remonstrance were
unsuccessful in the lower courts.
