SUITS REVIVE DISPUTE OVER RAIL CROSSING

10-Year-0ld Case Still Pen-' ding as New Ones Begin.

Says Ade

A 10-year-dispute between East Side residents and two railroads | $i over the alleged blocking of the| 2 LaSalle St. crossing, was revived with actions filed in Marion County courts today. Fourteen suits each asking $1500 damages were filed in Superior Courts 2 and 4 against the Pennsylvania and B. & O. Railroads. Attorney E. W. Little, who filed the ; suits, said “about 35 more actions will be filed.” He said he was preparing a petition to be presented to the Public Service Commission to force the railroads to repair their right-of-ways for a suitable vehicle crossing. The suits charged that the tracks are about “eight feet lower than the street level” and that one motorist recently damaged his car when he ran into the crossing. The dispute began in 1928 when | residents filed an injunction suit | against the raijroads. The action | later was venued to Hancock Coun- | ty where it still is pending, accord-

A quarantine was placed against all stray dogs in Franklin County today by Dr. J. L. Axby, State veterinarian, bringing to nine the number of local governmental units in which such a ban now is in effect. This action was taken, Dr. Axby said, after it was reported that 40 persons in that area had been given Pasteur antirabies treatments in the last four months. Of this total 26 cases were reported in the last few weeks. Under the quarantine, county peace officers are to shoot all dogs not on leashes. Four townships in Carroll County, one township in Tippecanoe County and one in Jennings County now are under rabies quarantine, as are the towns of Sheridan in Hamilton County and Southport in Marion County.

Once upon a time there was a Fish who swam around in a lake full of minnows and other fine food. But the Fish was inclined to be lazy. To catch minnows he had to swim after them, and he thought this was quite a job of work. So he sat still and spent a lot of time wishing there was some way he could get a full belly without having to swim after it.

Pretty soon he noticed a nice, juicy worm in front of his nose. "Pretty "Here's a regular meal and | don't have to
