WEST HAMMOND
FURRY SUBSIDIES
Eight Saloons Only Are
Closed on Temporary
Injunctions.

Excitement over the serving OF
Injunction writs against West Ham
mond saloons has subsided some
what since It has been learned that
the United States marshals were not
acting upon ths batch OF permanent
injunctlors which were granted
against twelve saloons recently.
Eight saloons are closed but they
arc only on temporary injunctions.
40 permanent writs were served.
Several or the saloonmen who were
expecting permanent writs got busy
with their lawyers when the mar
shals visited them and found that
instead OF getting the original rap
they were looking for they were
receiving the advance tap Of a sec
ond dose.
These men whom the law is hit
ting twice have more than one vio-
lation TO their credit and in the end
win probably be closed up for two
years or more.
The hearings TO make the writs
permanent will be held in the federal
court twenty days after the service
of the temporary injunctions. Tn
til then the soft drink parlors"
must remain under lock and key
with the government holding the
key.
