, later returned. He is said to be a
nephew of Mr. Brown.
Until a short time ago. according to
Hyde's story to the sheriff, he had
been working in Wanatah. A mule
stepped on his foot and partly disabled
him. In spite of this, he started on
foot for Chicago. Arriving at the Cor
don school in the night. when it began
to rain slightly, he went in for shelter.
He was almost penniless, he saw the
books, he took them under his arms
and went on his way. He expected to
sell them, but the Hammond police
nabbed him too soon. When he was
taken in charge he had just one cent
| in his pocket.
Hyde was arraigned before Judge
Bartholomew Just before noon. He
would not plead guilty to the charge
| of stealing and was remanded to Jail.
His case will be taken by the county
attorney, as the prisoner has no

KAMRADT
CASE IS
REVERSED

The supreme court yesterday revers-
ed the Lake superior court for giving
Frank Kameradt a Judgment of $4,000
against the Simplex Railway Appli-
ance company.
The evidence showed that the injury
was the result of the acts of a fellow
workman. Michael Barman, who oper-
ated lever in the control of a spring
testing machine. Kameradt's duty
was to place the spring in the machine,
while Barman pulled the lever which
forced a plunger down. MASKING the
spring to test it for flaws. on March
81, 1907. Barman pulled the lever be-
fore kameradt had removed his hand
from the spring, catching and cutting
off some of his fingers.
The court says that though the com
plant alleged the company was re-
sponsible in employing Barman, there
is nothing in the evidence to show
that Barman did not have mental quail
ifications to operate the machine OF
that any of his former acts had shown
he was otherwise incompetent, but that
the whole showing on the trial was
that it was a case of Barman's negli-
gence. for which the company was not
responsible. The case is reversed with
| an order to grant a new trial.
