BRITAIN SIEZES U. S. CARGOES OF MEAT

Products Valued at $15,000,000 Declared Forfeited For Violation of British Order.

The British prize court Thursday condemned the greater part of American products forming the cargoes of four ships. The products are valued at several million dollars and are mostly meats and are declared forfeited to the crown. A small proportion of the products were released to claimants but the court over which Justice Samuel T. Evans presided declared the balance forfeited. The case has been pending several months and the accumulation of cargoes is valued at about $15,000,000. American packers, who would be the losers, are storming the castle to try to find a way to reopen the cases and are appealing to Washington and employing English counsel. Chicago packers were heavy losers and official Washington expresses itself as very little surprised at the finding and it is possible that the United States will make no demand of recovery. The shipments consisted of a great amount of canned meats consigned to Denmark, but whic hthe Birtish court holds were in reality destined for German soldiers. Rubber was conas gum and this deception justiled the siezure according to the court. The Morris, Armour, Swift, Hammond and Sulzberger meat packing firms were the losing shippers.

Church of God. Elder S. J. Lindsay will preach Saturday evening and Sunday morning and evening. All are invited. Even though you have put up peaches, you cannot afford to miss getting in on the last of our big sale. Extra fancy Elberta peaches at 90c a bushel. This car will be on sale Saturday. JOHN EGER.

Private of Troop B Given Pommeling By a Sergeant.

Lake County Star. Persons who happened to be at the fair groonds late Monday afternoon witnessed a disgraceful and brutal fight between two of the members of Troop B of the Fifth Cavalry, who were in camp there Monday and Tuesday. The participants were a sergeant of the troop and a private, who was reported as reaching the camp under the influence of liquor, and while the troopers were bathing .their horses preparatory to leaving for Ft. Sheridan the following morning the private disobeyed orders, and words led to Vows and the private was badly pummeled about the face by the officer. County Commissioner James Black, John Claussen and Secretary Craig stopped the fracas after the private’s face resembled a piece of raw meat, and told the officer where to head in at. Besides the beating the private received he will no doubt be court-martialed and sent to the guard houfie —as a private has very, little show in a military court of inquiry. Those who witnessed the scrap denounced the sergeant as a brute ,and believe he is the one to be punished, as all of the damage was done when the private was flat on his back.

Attorney Tinkham Reported In Very Critical Condition.

Attorney C. B. Tinkham, of Hammond, who was severely injured in the automobile wreck that cost the life of Attorney Robert McAleer Tuesday evening, is battling against strong odds for his life at St. Margaret’s hospital, according to The Lake County Times. It was feared Thursday that pneumonia had set in and much alarm was felt. A specialist from Chicago examined him and found the collarbone and three ribs broken, the neck injured and the back wrenched. The other man who was in the auto, Frank M. Mcllroy, suffered a broken collarbone, a sprained knee and ankle and was generally bruised up but is expected to recover.

COUNTY FAIR WOULD BE FINE FOR US

Jasper County Could Doubtless Make One Pay—Automobiles Great Factor of Patronage. Some three or four years ago some one proposed a county fair for Jasper county and several pieces of land near this city were mentioned as suitable places for a fair ground. The movement, however, never went any further because there was no one to take the project up. The fairs in neighboring counties, however, are drawing increased patronage each year, and they are splendid factors in encouraging the raising of fine stock, the exhibition of grain, vegetables, fruits, fancy work, domestic science products, etc. With the advent of the automobile distances have been so annihilated that a drive of 30 to 50 miles to attend a fair is not very great and thus is the drawing territory for a fair much greater than in previous years. With a fair ground the question of carnivals, street fairs, etc., would be solved. It would take a lot of money, however, to purchase land and get a fair started and the work of a responsible leader would be necessary to start it off.
