LOSES CASE
IN COURT
Controversy Arising From
Occupation of Nickel Plate
Railroad Property by
Schultz Property Is Final
ly Adjudicated.

Because in 1882 the Nickel Plate rail-
road erected fence establishing the
north line of its right of way and be-
cause Mr. and Mrs. Peter Schultz had
bought their property in 1887 and had
held possession of that portion of it
which extended to the railroad COM
pany's fence, the company was yester-
day denied possession of property to
which it is admitted it has title
In other words, the fact that Mrs
Schultz had held possession of that por-
ton of the Nickel Plate railroad COM
pany's property which lay between
Schutzs south lot line and the COM
pany's fence for twenty years more
gave Mrs. Schultz the permanent right
TO the title to the property.
The proceeding was started when the
railroad company sought to en3oin Mrs.
Schultz from beginning the erection of
building on the railroad company's
property.
1t was finally admitted that the
property did not belong to Mrs. Schultz
except that the statute of limitations
had run against it. and that she there
fore had a right to it under the law.
A oss-complaint was filed by Attor-
/ ney J. ]. Stinson and Attorneys. Nc
Mahon & Conroy, in which they asked
| that the railroad company's right to the
title to the strip OF property be quiet
/ ed and Judgment quieting title was
| given to Mrs Schultz by Judge Virgil S.
Reiter.
The case is very unusual In that il
| is not very often that the aid of this
1 law Is invoked to make permanent the
right to possess-a piece of property
frof t,a 4
| Had the railroad made another survey
| of their right of way five or ten years
back and then claimed possession Of
| that portion of it which Mrs. Schut;
| was occupying its right to the title
| could not now be contested
This insures the fact that the worl
of construction will commence at ono,
and that the new theater will be com
pleted in the spring

Miller, his wife, has complained that on
Sept. Z, 1910 the gas mains in the alley

1t is further alleged that the de-
fendant was given full notice of the

ing to the room where Miller and his

that they were asphyxiated and $4,000
damages is asked in each case.

SARAH GOBI1z WINS
HER CASE At GARY
In the Meantime It Will
Cost Rachel and Sarah
Gobitz $53 to Settle.

The now famous Gobitz VS.. Gobitz
case which has become almost as well
known as Dickens Jarndyce VS.. Jarn-
dyce case, came to end in Gary
this morning before Justice Elwood and
resulted disastrously for Rachael Co
bitz. mater. and Sarah Gobitz ,daugh-
ter. 1t will be remembered that some
time ago Miss Anna Gobitz, 157 State
street, charged Mrs. Rachael and Sarah
Gobitz of Plummer avenue with at
tacking her. The victim of the alleged
assault caused the arrest of the two
women for assault and battery. and
the case went from one court to anoth-
err on change of venue, finally land
ing in the Gary court. Judge Elwood
fined Rachel and Sarah Gobitz So and
costs, which will amount to $50 and
is generally among the ladies consid- :
cred some pin money.

AGED WATCHMAN IS
TAUGHT A LESSON
Indecent Conduct Rightfully
Reprimanded by Judge
Barnett.

Fred Dankert, 81 ears old, a watch
man for the Indiana Harbor Belt rail-
road, was fined $25, to which the costs
are added. and was given a sixty-day
jail sentence in the city court this
morning upon his conviction for disor-
derly conduct. The warrant was sworn
out by Gus Newell and four school
girls living in the neighborhood where
Dankert was employed appeared as
witnesses against him for his conduct.
In defense of his conduct Dankert
pleaded that the railroads failure to
provide the watchman toilet accom-
modations should in a way excuse his
conduct but Judge Barnet turned a
deaf ear to this, as there was other
evidence which made Dankert's con-
duct appear reprehensible. He was
taken to Crown Point today.
