INTEREST
TAKEN

Things are quiet in West Hammond
and little interest is being taken in the
election The only contests are be-
tween Judge Frank Green and Adam
Stachovitz for the office of police mag
istrate and between Richard Zimmer-
man and Netter Esser for one of the
aldermanic offices.
There have been absolutely no dis
turbances of any kind. The old time
election riots are a thing of the past.
and even Virginia Brooks is a missing
quantity.
West Hammond is looking askance
at the reported disturbances in Burn
ham. which is now undergoing the
same sort of rejuvenation that West
Hammond had few years ago.
The reform element is concentrating
its attention the effort to defeat
Judge Green. the only remaining rem
nant of the old political gang that once
dominated West Hammond If Green
Is defeated the justice court business
will be so divided that there will be

JUDGE NJ MAHAN
TO SPEAK THERE
Jurist's Work in Juvenile
Court Commands Atten-
tion of People.

An effort is being made to get out
a large attendance at the meeting
which is to be held in the rooms
of the Hammond Chamber of Commerce
next Friday night at which Judge w.
c. Mcmahon Will explain the work of
the Juvenile court, which is taking up
more and more of his time. The Crown
Point jurist is showing remarkably
conscientious work in his administra-
tion of this court.
A number of prominent Hammond
people, including John T. Reilly and w
c. Belman, are interesting themselves
in this work and hope that the inter
est of the public will be general.
1t was through the intervention of
Judge w c. Mcmahon that the coun-
ty council voted $4,000 for Juvenile
detention home to be built somewhere

erybody is invited to the meeting mex,

1t was the case of August Miller.
who, after loaning $3.50. paid back $3.50.
and still owed so much that the COM
pany got judgment for $40 and costs.
The Judgment was rendered on de-
fault IN Judge Johannes Kopelke's s
court Miller was able to show, how :
ever, that he owed only s14o, according
to the loan sharks own figures and the
extra SO was just tackled on for luck.
According to the plaintiff for in addi-
tion to the judgment there was added
$35 attorneys feets.
Judge Lawrence Becker was greatly
incensed at the revelations that were
made and said that he would order a
thorough investigation. Miller's chat
tells are to be sold out unless the judg-
ment is satisfied. There was quite q
stir in the court room when the real
facts were brought out
The deal is also said TO have compro-
missed the attorney who had charge oi
the case for Phillips. and IT may dc
that his acts will be called to the 1T.

KIDDED THE
DOCTORS.

Hugh Burns was brought to ST.
Margaret's hospital this morning In
charge OF Deputy Sheriff Harry
Rouse. While his condition is critt-
cal, he may live. His only regret
this morning was that he may die,
while his wife Will live, and yet he
says he loves her. He joked about
his injuries and refused to be placed
under an anasthaetic while the ply
sicians probed for the bullets. On
the train he "kidded'' with the deputy
sheriff saying s.that was some gun
play you and 1 had." He admitted
that he hnd intended to kill his
wife last Saturday while she got of
n train at Thayer, but feared the 80
people that were on the platform.
Mrs. Burns lying at his feet with
two bullet wounds in her body,
while he held the posse at bay,
feigned death, fearing that a sign of
life from her would draw his fire
again. She dared not look up and
feared m0mentarily that another
bullet would end her life. 1t devel-
oped today that Deputy SheriT
Rouse brsved death repeatedly in
bringing about the desperado's cnp-
turc. Latest reports are that Mrs.
Burns and Frank Parson, a victim
OF a stray bullet, will recover.

this is better than any elective or ap-
