Crown Point. Ind, April 27.-Two
automobiles one occupied by a Gary
party and the other by four men from
Chicago Heights collided last night on
the Cedar Lake road near the Half Way
house. One man in the Chicago
Heights party sustained broken coll
lar bone but the others in his machine
escaped with slight scratches and
bruises. Two of the Chicago Heights
people gave their names as Hobbs and
Gren the druggist.
The Gary car was bound for Cedar
Lake and was occupied by Harry Will
liams and four Gary men. The Chicago
Heights party was returning from
Cedar Lake and met the Garyites about
1890. The road where the machines
passed each other is very narrow. They
came together with the result that the
Chicago Heights machine went down
a ten foot embankment where 1t was
wrecked while the Gary machine was
scratched. and somewhat damaged but
not enough to prevent the party from
continuing their trip to Cedar Lake.

WOMAN GETS RELIGION
AND GOES IN MYSTERIES
Commotion in Hammond's S
Business Center When
Revival Is in Progress.

A great commotion was caused at the
corner Of Sibley and Holman streets
last night when a woman who was one
of a small party of street revivalists
got religion and screamed at the top
of her voice.
Some thought she was drunk and
others that she was insane and it was
not long before large crowd had
gathered. Previous to this the little
band of Salvationists sang a few songs
and individuals among them made re-
ligious talks. but few noticed them.
1t was at this juneture that the
short fat woman decided on her bally-
hoo stunt. She started to talk to the
crowd when suddenly she let loose a
piercing scream that attracted the at
tention OF every one within a block.
A police officer rushed to the cor
ners to see what the matter was The
woman continued screaming at the top
of her voice and in the meantime
danced an Indian war dance.
A tall man who stood near her final
ly grasped her by the wrists and pre-
vented the Mysteries from going any
farther. Expressions of pity were all
that were heard from the assembled
crowd
When the woman was finally silenced
the crowd dispersed as quickly as i,
formed. Whether the woman was
crazy merely resorted to that means
to attract a crowd is not known.

The circulation of the acts of 1911

opened the eyes of some of the local
building and loan advocates to law
which was very quietly passed at the
recent session of the legislature On
the whole the law is very acceptable
TO the leaders OF the building and loan

the sinking fund section, which these
same people hope will be defeated in
the courts. because. according to their
theory, 1t is not equitable.
Some of the more important changes
in the new law which are of interest
to hundreds of stockholders in Lake
county are as follows:
