Cotemporary "Falls" for Quiet Josh at Benny Yanger's Training Camp.
Perhaps it was a shame to do it, but the scouts of the LAKE COUNTIMES army must have their joke, it seems.
Benny Yanger is training at Cedar
Lake for his fight with "Kid" Her
man which is to take place in the
near future at Indianapolis, (which by the way, is a part of Governor
Hanly's domain.)
A detachment of the deputy cir
culators of the LAKE COUNTY TIMES marched on Cedar Lake yes
terday and while attending to the business of increasing the circula
tion materially must have indulged in a bit of quiet joshing, material
evidence of which appears in a
contemporary.
The appearance of a distinguished
shorthorn prize fighter at Cedar
Lake marks an epoch and, conseany stranger who turns up
in that neighborhood is supposed to
be interested in him. F. J. Bode, E. C. Price L. A. Hell
ings and F. J. Stine, solicitors for
the LAKE COUNTY TIMES woke up
this morning to find that they were trainers of the Italian prize fighter and had arranged to bring off
something like "the real thing." in
the Yanger camp.

Frank W. Johnson, a Chicago
manufacturer and Miss Florence A
Adank also of Chicago, came to Ham
mond last evening accompanied by
two friends and patiently waited in
their automobile in front of the
court house until Deputy Clerk Car
rie Miles could be located to issue
a marriage license.
It was long after 10 o'clock when
Miss Miles could be located. The necessary papers were made out in
a hurry and as the town clock struck twelve Judge McMahan pronounced the solemn words that united the long-waiting couple in marriage. A piano that found its way into the court house long ago, was pressinto service and Lohengrin's wedmarch pealed forth into the still night, while a couple of hobos in the nearby jail beat time with their weary feet. It is useless to say that the bride shed a few tears at the indicatoward disappointment, which however, passed away When Miss Miles arrived with the big key.
Mrs. Mulhall, 630 Michigan avereported to the police that her dog's tag, number 41, was either lost or stolen.

Immediately after they had procured the necessary paper they remounted their flying demon and scooted for the town where the "newspapers are dead ones." They blew into the town as they have on many other
occasions, getting here just about
noon. They went to a cafe on Hoh
man street and ordered their meal
in much the same manner as they
had a number of other times. Ellis excused himself and found Judge Mc
Mahan. The latter agreed to meet
the runaways at his office in the
Hammond building in a few minutes
and do the job.
When Ellis learned this he decid
ed to get the job done in a hurry.
He accordingly hastened back to the
cafe and, telling the proprietor to
postpone the meal, he took the brideand the mutual friends up the
street to the judge's office where
the judge and Miss Carrie Miles had
all in readiness. Ellis is said to
have dropped some remark about
having "had a hard time to get here"
while they were removing their auto
mobile toggery. When she had re
moved her long pongee automobile
coat, the bride stood before the judge in an exquisite gown of voile,
the color being Alice blue and the
cut the latest prescribed by fashion.
Goods Not Delivered.
The ceremony was short and to
the point and the party filed out of
the office and returned to their be
lated meal. Before they left the of
fice Ellis thanked all who had as
sisted in getting the work accomp
lished, handed the officiating person
age a $20 bill and Miss Miles a ten-
spot, admonishing them not to tell
a word about it. They did their best but the Lake County Times got (he facts. What was the result of the day's trouble and worry on the part of Jerry Ellis and his second wife, Jerry and the corespondent in
the late divorce scandal are mar
ried, this is sure, but what is more
painful to them, the Chicago papers this morning printed the story of
their wedding in big type. They
got a $2 wedding job done at an ap
proximate cost of $200 and then they
did not get what they thought they were paying for, to-wit: secrecy, for which fact they may blame the Lake County Times.
