BADER CASE COMES UP AT CROWN POINT

Winamac Bridge Company Sued On Bond—Former County sioners as Witnesses.

The case of the State of Indiana vs. Clinton L. Bader, which resulted a few years ago in Bader being sentenced td the penitentiary for filing and collecting a false claim against Jasper county is brought up again in another way. It was clearly proved at that time that the bridge for which Bader had filed his claim was not constructed according to specifications, being short of the required weight nd consequently cheaper. That Jasper county should be reimJ bursed for the shortage as well as Bader punished was the view of the commissioners, the county attorney and taxpayers generally and ■the suit was instituted some time ago and vended to Lake county, where it is now called for trial on Monday, Feb. 15th. Former Commissioners Fred Waymire and John F. Pettit and County Auditor Hammond, the latter to take the records of the auditor's office, have been subpoenaed to go to Crown Point Monday.
