Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 223, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 October 1917 — Page 1 Advertisements Column 4 [ADVERTISEMENT]

Attorney Abe Halleck, of Rensselaer, who has been here for the past tep days as one of the many lawyers engaged in the Singleton ditch case, was the guest of honor at a “stag” party at Red Oak island on the Kankakee, Tuesday evening, and Abe is just as good an eater aS a lawyer, and his reputation for the latter stands without question. Halleck’s eating average at the party ’was a thousand per cent and the balance of the members of the company were astounded when the Jasperite announced after devouring several porterhouse steaks, sweet potatoes, and numerous side dishes that he was a little off-fed that evening and would have to be excused from eating his regular meal. Judge Harry B. Nicholson had entire charge of broiling sixteen juicy steaks on a charcoal fire under the blue sky, while August Johnson acted as Bridget, with A. J. Boye as ihaid and dishwasher. Those who attended the party as bystanders without any special mission to perform excepting eating were: Mat J. Brown, George R. Schaaf, James Black, Ray Seeley, Wm. Newman, E. L. Shortridge, Herbert Wheaton, Victor Roberts, of Lowell, John Claussen, Mac Folland and Fred Wheeler. —Crown Point Star. =
