AFTER CEDAR LAKE RESORTS.

There is a rumor afloat that a scheme is on foot to cause the arrest of numerous saloon keepers along the Monon railroad, from Dyei to the Kankakee river, the great majority being at Cedar Lake, who are charged with using slot machines, and some with running without license. More than fifty affidavits have been sworn out, and it is said, according to the stories now, that the actions will be commenced in the circuit court instead of before a justice of the peace, as first contemplated. The matter seems to be quiet at present, but those who pretend to

be wise claim “there is a hen on.” It is safe to say it is on a sidetrack at present. —Crown Point Star.
