Judge Hanley Overrules Motion and Bayard Taylor Case Will Probably Be Appealed.

Judge Hanley Thursday listened to an argument by attorneys for the C„ I. & S. railroad for a new trial in the case wherein Bayard Taylor was given a judgment of SIO,OOO against the road. The case was*tried here several months ago. Taylor was the promoter of a rail: road passing through substantially the same territory now traversed by the Indiana Harbor road. He was backed by Carrol C. Kent and W. T. McCray, of Kentland. These men were made defendants in Taylor’s suit, but were not included in the judgment. Taylor asked a large sum for the work he performed in locating the road. His attorney, Otto Gresham, of Chicago, had many severe clashes with the railroad attorneys during the progress of the trial. It is understood .that the railroad will appeal the caste to the supreme court. Mr. Taylor is now engaged in the collection agency business in Chicago.

J. J. MONTGOMERY UNDERWENT OPERATION

Manager of Local Telephone Company Has Fatty Tumor Removed From Left Leg.

J. J. Mohtgotaery, superintendent of the Jasper County Telephone Co., underwent a slight surgical operation at his home on Cullen street Thursday evening. A little more than two months ago Jack began to suffer some pain in his right leg near the hip and after consulting a local physician, on the latter’s advice went to Chicago and had an X-ray picture of the limb made. This clearly showed that, there was a hard, fatty tumor in the limb, and after waiting a few days it was decided to operate and local surgeons performed the .operation Thursday night. The tumor proved to be somewhat larger than an egg and while not at all malignant, it was rapidly growing. About twenty minutes was required for the operation, gas having been used as an anaesthetic. Jack enjoyed a good night’s rest and today is feeling as well as can be expected. It is believed that he .will be able to get out within a week or ten days.

Wayne Suggest Plan to Eliminate Discontent. Fort Wayne, Ind., May B.—So that the children of the poorer people willl not feel ashamed of their clothing when in the class room with elaborately dressed children of rich parents, the Mothers’ club and the Teachers’ club here today started a movement toward a uniform dress to be worn by all girls who attend the Fort Wayne schools. Merchants have promised the women that they will carry in stock at a price Within reach of all, a uniform dress. The members of the Mothers’ club declare that one reason for discontent among girls of poor parents is the better dress of other girls. It’s a ease of the same old story— EVERY KNOCK IS A BOOST. When a competitor starts “Knocking” tactics he evidently realizes that he will have to “go some” in order to head off the trade that is flowing away from his doors.
