tomatoes sell at retail on the stands in
the market for $3.50.
There was a smaller difference in
the prices of apples at the farmers
wagons and on the stands inside The
farmers were selling them at 90 cents
and 81 bushel. or 25 cents peck. In
the market house they sold at 10 cents
quarter peck. which would make
them $3.50 a bushel.
The present deplorable conditions
at the market are the result of many
years OF growth and development and
ton by commission merchants and
other middlemen to get control of the
food price situation; CD loose metnous
used by some of the market officials
which made possible this gobbling up
of the market by the middlemen. The
system can not be changed in a day or
a week. 1t will take a long time to
bring the market back to where 1t was
intended in the first place it should be
and 1t will require good business head
to do this.
The city's grocers. who at first
loudly expressed their disapproval OF
the market and vowed they would
compel 1t to be closed. appeared to be
satisfied for the first time when they
received permission TO purchase al
kinds OF produce in any quantity from

duced prices in vegetables and all ind:

John Somala compla ined that Joe Lonx
buried a horse inside of the village
limits which is against the ordinances

manded Somala to prove that the dead
horse had been buried Somala could

prove his case Somala complained
that it would be worth $50 to dig up
the animal but Judge Green insisted
that he prove his case in this manner
He stated further that if he did not
dig up the horse and prove the charges
that he has brought against Lonx that
he would send him to the county

Gobitz says he entered the saloon
Monday evening. with his roll of $3.50
practically intact. He bought few
drinks, after which the Galatians and
others in the place picked a quarrel
with him. turned on him and put him
out taking his money. He says he has
witnesses to prove that he had his $3.50
with him before entering the place.
Cailahans side of the story Is TO the
effect that Gobitz spent a little money
over the bar, became noisy and quar-
reisome and was put out. He declares
that all the money he got hold of was
what was paid by Gobitz for drinks.
The case was to have come up before
Judge Riley today, but owing to the
TACT that Attorney Schunk. Galatians
lawyer. was called out of town by the
illness Of his mother. 1t was postponed
until week from tomorrow In the

Scandal Promised.
A scandal of considerable Importance
promises to develop out of this trans
action. West Hammond Is in turmoil
as a result of the actions of the ring
members of the board of trustees. A
mass meeting is to be called next Sun
day to take up the consideration of the
problems that confront the people as
a result of the betrayal of them by
their servants.
The report that some legal action has
ben started in Chicago is untrue. No
steps have ben taken yet but 1T is
expected that before many days are
past that the members of the board
will be brought to time.
Paul Kamradt and John Giczewski
have talked of resigning from the
board for the reason that they are not
notified of the meetings and conse-
quently are unable to represent their
constituents. They have been advised
to hold their positions. however until
some plan of action is determined upon.

Sneaks Are Arrested.

Two sneaks entered the Hoffman
Haberdashery yesterday afternoon and
stole shirt valued at $3.50. Instead of
accusing the two men of taking the
shirt. Clerk frost used the good judg-
ment of letting the two men go ont of
the store and being all alone locked up
the place and followed them and then
called an officer who placed them under
arrest
About 2ro'clock the two men came
into the store and asked to see some
shirts. frost took down a number of
boxes and the men claimed they were
not just what they wanted and asked
to see some more. When frost was
taking down another box one of the
men showed a shirt under his coat. See
ing the man place something under his
coat frost said nothing or he would
likely have been attacked and the
thieves would have made their escape.
Upon telling frost that they had no
money they asked If he would trust
them until pay day but he declined.
The thieves left the place and made
their way to the rear of the California
wine house where frost called Officer
Lamme who placed them under arrest
They gave their names and addresses
as David Kelly. Chicago and Daniel
Ryan. Little Falls. N Y. They were
arraigned before Judge Barnett this
morning and plead not guilty, trying
to claim that they were not the men
who were in the store and that the
shirt was given to them by another
man.
Judge Barnett found them guilty
and imposed a fine on Ryan of SIS and
costs amounting to SIS and his partner
Kelly SIS and costs amounting to SIS.
Having no money they will be taken to
