hammond COUNCIL
HAS INTERESTING SESSION

In semi-confidential tete-a-tete,
garnished by filings and thrusts at
everything from cabbages to kings. the
Hammond common council last evening
hauled in the white flag and resumed
hostilities after six weeks of passive
ness
Owners and operators of several NOV
ing picture theaters were present to wit
ness the action of the council with re-
CARDS to an ordinance decreasing the
annual tax on their places Of business.
After much parley the act was passed
as prepared and recommended by
committee that had been appointed for
that purpose at the last regular meet
ing.
From $40 to 1876.
Under the new ordinance, to take
effect the first of January, all picture
houses seating less that 351, that is,
not over $50, will pay $40 year to
the city The rate at present Is $3.50
for all houses. irrespective of seating
capacity or admission fee
NThe first stipulation will cover the
nickel shows thoroughly. The Prin-
cess, the Gem. the Idlehour, the Pas
time, the Gartner and the Aubry have
seating capacities under $50. 1t was
the managers of these houses who rails
ed the issue and asked for lowered
rates They should be pleased with this
reduction of $11o.
Objection Raised.
Alderman Kane rose before the
council to state that he considered the
new license too low, although" he
added 1T am In favor of sliding
scale" Alderman Eastwood expressed
himself in favor of stipulated amount
as "the saloons might want sliding
scale based on the size of establish
ments, too"

TWO HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE

Two barely escaped death last even
ing on the grade crossing at Holman
street and Plummer avenue. Two
freight trains, minus cabooses. Were
backing up, one on the Erie and one
on the Monon. They slid through the
night, silently, ominously.
Hey, hey. whoopee, get off the
track" yelled one man standing on the
Erie to another on the Monon-
"Whow, watch out for that train
cried the other at his would-be savior
on the Erie.
Neither noticed the approach of a
train on the track they were on. In
fact each was so excited about the
others danger that he didn't realize
his own position on a track.
One jumped just in time and the 9TH
er was pushed to safety.
Citizens claim that the practice of
backing freights into town is dang
erous one and that it should be taken
before the council

Gary Is to Demand One

Bench, and There Is AL
ready a Host of Fence
Fixers Busy.

In making up their list of judicial
nominations for the circuit and super

Lake county will have to make room
for one Gary candidate. Both the Gary
republicans and progressives have an
nounced that they will demand one seat
on the superior court bench and the
slate makers will get official notice of
the fact in a few days. From the
present outlook the fusion spirit that
won the Gary city campaign will con-
tinue to exist in causing a union of
both parties in the judicial campaign.

Circuit Judge McMahan's seat is not
being discussed. 1t is conceded that
Judge Reiter will be renominated, if he
wants the place and that one of the
other two seats must be given te Gary.

The Gary republicans-pr -progressives
have plenty of good material for the

Farmer HAS SOME
VERY HARD LUCK
After He Had Raised Fine
Field of Corn Some One
Else Claims It.

Albert Reel farmer residing near
Maynard. Ind, planted four acres of
corn on strip of land near the May
nard brick yard this spring. He toiled
in the blazing sun and after watching
the blades grow into yellow kernels of
corn valued at rs cents busheI. Reel
learned to his astonishment that the
lease which he thought he held on the
land was valueless as the land was the
property of John Trinen.
According to a story that Is told.
Reel rented some land from another
farmer near Maynard, securing a lease
on the same. The strip of land to
which Reel holds the lease adjoins the
four acres which Trinen claims he is
owner. The farmer evidently told Reel
to cultivate all cf the land and beliey-
ing that he held lease on the other
four acres Reel planted corn en- it,
The crop turned out excellent and
after Reel had done everything with
the exception of shocking the corn he
found Trinen in the field one day pre-
pairing to carry the corn away Reel
was then informed that he had planted
corn on Trinen's land and that the corn
was the property of the land owner
1t was more than a blow to Reel and
he at once swore out a warrant for
the arrest of Trinen on a charge of
larceny. The case will be thrashed out
in Judge Prest's court next Tuesday
morning 1t is said that Trinen had
the same kind of case in court two
years ago. The out come of the case
is likely to end in legal battle in the
higher courts.

AGAIN COMES
BEFORE COURT
Question of Concurrent
Court Jurisdiction Again
Brought Up Before the
Supreme Court.

The question as to whether or not
the Lake Superior court has concurrent
jurisdiction with the Lake Circuit
court in matters pertaining to will
contests Is TO be decided by the Indiana
Supreme court on appeal from Judge
Becker of the superior court.
1t arises out of the contested will
case hled In the superior court several
weeks ago by Harvey Marchant the
Hammond drayman and Martin Stroh-
man his brother-in-law against the
heirs of the late Henry Chester whose
estate is valued at approximately
500. 900.
The estate is represented by Attor-
ney Otto Bruce of Crown Point, while
the Arm of McMahon & Conroy repre-
serits Marchant and Crumpacker and
Crumpacker, Strohman.
On Monday Attorney Bruce submitted
to the court that the case should be
dismissed on the ground that the
statute expressly provides that all con-
tested will cases must originate in the
circuit court. The attorneys for the
contestors argued that the law was en-
acted in 1852 at time when there
were no superior courts in Indiana and
none in Lake county and that the
statute creating superior courts, ex-
presly says that the superior courts
shall have concurrent jurisdiction with
the circuit courts. and that proceeding
under this statute the Lake Superior
court is now handling probate matters
Judge Becker however was Impress
ed with the old statute and dismissed
the case. The question of concurrent
Jurisdiction between superior and cir
cult courts has been before the supreme
court before but never in relation to
contested Wills.
