Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 298, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 December 1913 — Race Track Reopened Today; Lawyers and Principals Here. [ARTICLE]

Race Track Reopened Today; Lawyers and Principals Here.

The suit begun at the regular November term and continued until today, was reopened this Monday afternoon at 1 o’clock. The action is the outgrowth of the effort made by a number of Lake and Porter county men to operate a race track near Porter, Indiana. They had expensive buildings built on the track and the Manhattan Lumber Co. furnished the material, which has not been paid for and, although the company holds mechanic’s liens, they are not sufficient to settle the bills and thg plaintiffs seek to procure a judgment over against Peter Crumpaeker and other promoters. It is a lively fight and a lot of attorneys are here to participate in the legal revelry.
