a damage suit. the result cf an al
legged assault and battery committed
upon woman by priest IN the Hess
Vile cemetery Is nearing its close in
Room of the Hammond superior
court. Evidence is all in and attor-
neys completed their arguments at
noon today. 1T was expected to SO to
the jury early this afternoon.
The affair. which IS the basis OF the
suit. occurred at Hessville August so,
1915 when Mary Rajchinetz, the plain
tiff claims she was stopped at the en-
trance Of the Greek catholic cemetery
bv Rev Michael Coarbach Of whiting
a priest OF the church. The woman
claims to have been roughly used and
her physician testified that her arm
was discolored from elbow to shoulder
as a result Of her treatment.
Mrs. Rajchinetz saws that she was
going 70 the cemetery at the same
time a funeral was being held She
says she was taking several children
there to visit the grave Of their father
who was buried there some time be-
fore. She was refused admittance
and when she insisted, Rev. Coarbach
seized her by the arm pushed her
down and otherwise roughly handled
her.
The defendant SAYS that Mrs. Ra-
jachinetz was a member cf funeral
party which was attempting to bury
the body OF a person who was not 2
member in good standing or the church
and for which burial permission had
been refused lie claims that the
woman had no right in the cemetery
and he was attempting to prevent
them from carrying out an act which
was in violation Of the solemn rules
and laws Of the church.
Because Of the divergent nature Or
the evidence as to the cause OF the
trouble the jury NAV have some
trouble in reaching a verdict. Incl
dentally the majority Of the jurors are
Methodists. Mrs. Rajchinetz asks for
81. 600 damages. Her attorney IS Abe
Ottepheiner and the defendant is rep
resented by Fetterhof and Ahlgren.

is THIS GOOD SENSE?

slScudI ItdpIuS RGpupuC.
A woman, Mrs. Mary E. Obcrdor-
fer. who is connected with the gem
eral Federation of Woman's clubs.
in special charge of music and
amusements. has come forward with
an idea that is worthy of some con-
sideration. to say the least about It
She thinks that young folks are driv-
en- to the cities by the ban which
ministers and churches In the small
er communities have placed on
|amusements, especially dancing,
which is one OF the natural forms OF
recreation among young people.
Boys and girls naturally want to
sing and dance together" she says
Ministers who oppose such recrea-
tons, even when under proper super
vision. are merely handicapping the
opportunity OF all churches to do
good"
There may be something in this
theory. Older folks. including some
ministers OF the gospel with the best
moral ideas In their heads, can not
always understand the nature and
the inclinations Of those who are
younger. Their first desire is repres-
sion. What they do not like they
want to eliminate. They do not like
dancing, and so they put the ban on
dancing. But that simply drives the
young folks out. il they do not prac-
tice dancing on the quiet, after the
manner of boys who learn to play
