3. The natural securing action Of
the water at this location maintains
permanent depth of 20 to 80 feet in
Lake Michigan a few hundred feet
from the Wolf Lake connection. The
prevailing north winds do not pile up
the sand here in dunes shoals as at
Gary and Indiana Harbor. (See chart

securing action renders maintenance

said of other locations in this vicinity

struction between Lake Michigan and
Wolf Lake. The railroads cross here
near together. and could undoubtedly
be run on one bridge, which, as track

Stoker says that he will bring his

the woman also faces a charge of
bigamy.
Whatever chance of Mrs. Radeloff
has of gaining her freedom, the Gary

Stoker told the police that he loves

he will spend in her defense He says
that he will go to Ohio and engage at

From the story told the police II ap-

Early this month she told him that

she shot him. the injuries later result
