IN THE PORTER
CIRCUIT COURT

Valparaiso. Ind. Sept 2o.-With the
expense amounting up to hundreds of
dollars. the case of Burton 3. Porter
against the Grand Trunk railway still
goes mGrrily on in the circuit court,
after a continuous grind since Tues
day. Writ Worden and Ralph n.
Smith of Laporte are attorneys for
Porter. and Grant Crumpacker for the
defendant. Little clashes of wit and
sarcasm on the part of the opposing
lawyers make the case an attractive
one. Porter had three horses killed on
the railroad in May, 1904 and another
badly injured, after they got through
gate on the right of way, and asks
$500 damages

VALPO JURY ALLOWS
$500 FOR INJURIES

But for the obstinacy of one juror,
the jury in the Porter county superior

South Shore Line, 1t is said. The
plaintiff asked $4,000 for injuries
which he received several years ago

Coroner Takes Charge.

The skeleton was turned over to DR..
c. c. Brink. the deputy coroner at Ho-
bart, who directed Undertaken Wilde to
bury them in the patters field at
Crown Point cemetery.
The Hobart Gazette prints the fol-
lowing in connection with the mys-
terry:
The bones were found under stump
at the brow of the hill and were pro-
nounced those of some white woman
or girl or possibly a young man. Who
buried the body of such a person at
that place or at what time is a mys-
terry There is no question but that
the bones are of some person who was
killed or murdered either in Hobart
or vicinity, perhaps forty or fifty
yeas ago and secretly buried in that
lonely spot.
The find revives the story that the
remains of another body were located
in that near vicinity when the excava-
ton of the "J' spur was made some
years ago.
