STEEPLEJACK’S FOOT HURT; ASKS $45,000 Injury Deprives Him of Means of Suit Says. Feet are to a steeplejack what hands are to a pianist. That is why Albert Huddleston, 43ft of 43 JefTerson-av, today wants the Shell-American Petroleum Company to pay him $45,000. According to a suit brought by Mr. Huddleston in Superior Court, Room 4, a filling station attendant employed by the company at Lafayette, dropped an automobile hoist on Mr. Huddleston’s left foot Sept. 21. He claims permanent injuries which will prevent him from earning S4O a week climbing steeples. DOCTORS WILL DISCUSS CONTAGIOUS DISEASES Medical Society Will Hear Talks at Meeting.

FURTHER DELAY DUE ON USERS PETITION Commission Still Restrained by Temporary Order. Further continuation of the hearing before Marion County Commissioners on the petition of Users Gas Cos. for an exclusive gas franchise will be granted Friday. Two weeks ago the commissioners postponed further consideration of the petition when Clinton H. Given, petitioner's attorney, reported a temporary restraining order had not been removed. Yesterday Judge Albert C. Van Duyn, Hancock County Circuit Court, allowed Will H. Thompson, attorney for iCtizens Gas C 0.., ten days in which to file briefs. Meanwhile the restraining order issued by Superior Judge Russell J. Ryan, in Marion County, remains in effect and the commissioners are enjoined from taking further notice of the petition. Mr. Givan contends the Marion County court is powerless to enjoin the commissioners from performing an administrative act. WANT A BOY? THEN CLOTHE-A-CHILD.
