Margaret Howell vs. Eva Beasey et al; suit to foreclose mortgage on lots 4, 5 and 6, block seven, Chamber’s & Morgan’s add to Remington. Demand $760. No. 7426. The S. D. Confer Co., vs. Orange Brewer, et al; suit on account. Demand SSOO. J. D. Cooper of Kankakee tp., was down on business Thursday. John is not worrying any about the closing of the saloon at Telit, for the Porter county joint is just across the river from him at Dunn's bridge, and were he so inclined he cofild run across the line any old time and “wet his whistle.” Another thing, the republican officer in Porter is reported from other sources to be an agent for a brewery company, so there is little risk run by the keeper of the joint or his patrons, and Sunday is always the big day there.
