Moore of this city, had been employed for the past two or three summers as chauffuer for President H. R. Kurrie of the Monon,- but during tbe past fall and winter is understood to have been driving a taxicab in and about Hammond. He lately returned here and has been driving Mr. Kurrie’s car a part of the time and part of the time driving one of the busses to the depot. „ Friends of the young man and of the family regret that he has got in trouble, and hope that be may easily clear himself of the charges.
