COLORED ATTORNEY"
OFF TO COUNTY JAIL
Koontz Sent to Grown Point
in Default of Payment
of Fine.
INVOLVED IN MORE TROUBLE


James o. Koontz wNo in times past
has made the assertion that he is the
only Hammond man admitted to prac-
tice in the United States supreme court.
but who relies on the sale of a ,nedi-
cine plaster for an income went to the
county Jail today in default of paying
a fine and costs assessed against him
several months ago. He made more
trouble for himself last Saturday when
he tried to evade service by Con-
stable Julius aTussig, on whom he used
forcee. Taussig swore out a warrant
for Koontz' arrest on the charge of
assault and battery. and as soon as he
has untangled himself from his first
trouble he will have to stand trial in
the second case.
Was Found Guilty
Several months ago Koontz was
found guilty by a jury in Justice E. T.
Ames' court of having insulted wo-
man, stranger to him. whom he was
said to have accosted on the street. He
defended his own case. Judge Ames
assessed a fine of SIS. and this and the
costs amounted to s33. Koontz asked
for an appeal and Judge Ames granted
it. w. S. Hubbard was on the bond for
$500, but withdrew after a few days it
having been found that he and his wife
held their property in common He
signed a stay of execution bond at the
time, however, and Koontz then hustled
around and finally found another
bondsman on the appeal. but this was
not acceptable because the stay of
judgment bond had taken precedence
over the appeal bond. There was but
one thing left for Koontz to do-to pay
the fine and costs. His time expired
last week. and when he failed to put in
an appearance after several days over
time. Judge Ames last Saturday sent
his constable. Julius Taussig, to com
NIT Koontz to the county jail. 1t was
then that Koontz became violent to-
ward the constable, who promptly
swore out a warrant for his arrest
Goes to County jail.
Koontz further complicated matters
for himself when he asked for change
of venue TO Judge ewfs. court at East
Chicago. Judge Ames granted the
change but demanded a recognizance
bond An acquaintance of Eoontz put
| up s25 cash to stand until this morning
, to allow Koontz time to find another
bondsman. but when this morning came
| along he still refused to make a set
| tlement on his first case and had nc
| bondsman on his assault and battery
suit He finally got into communica-
tion with Attorney Green. a colored at
torney of Gary. who tried to straighter
things up for the Hammond man. He
arrived too late, however. to save
Koontz from going TO Crown Point, but
promised to get him out this after
noon.

BUILDING
ACTIVITY
ENORMOUS
Hammond Rejoices in a
Season of Progress Which
Means Work for Many
Until Far Into Winter;
Fear of Strike Abates.

Fall building activity in Hammond
is assuming proportions which make
IL apparent that most of the men in
the building trades will be kept busy
until far into the winter.
The reason for this is that the fear
of strikes in the building line is abat-'
ing and peace, for the present season
at least is assured. The price of lum-
Der is also easing off to an extent that
makes building cheaper.
A resume of the building situation
is something like this:
