EUGENE JOHNSON SEEKSA DIVORCE Proceedings to Break Marriage Bonds Are Begun This Afternoon. Divorce proceedings were begun this afternoon by Eugene V. Johnson against his wife,.. Bessie Johnson. Johnson may be remembered as the former street car motorman on the South Chicago street car line who lost his position because he was seen conversing with his wife on the front platform of his car. As conversation is not permitted by the rules of the company while a motorman is on duty, Johnson was given the preference, of apologizing to the company or losing. his job. He chose the latter alternative and immediately secured other employment. In his complaint he charges that his wife has treated him like a dog, continually swearing at him and once in a fit of anger she tried to strike him in the face. She also kept alluding to the fact that he was living in her house and that she would only be satisfied when she was freed from the bonds of matrimony. Johnson declares he could stand this treatment no longer and so filed proceedings for a divorce. The Johnsons are well known throughout Hammond circles and no one ever supposed that there were any family troubles between them. They have meen married for three years. Johnson says that his wife told peo pie he "stood around like a boop" and would not work. He says he was working all the time. EDITOR MARSHALL SELLS OUT.

MAY CHANGE BRUSH TO FARM LAND. Heal Instate Firm Negotiates Kor All Standing Timber In Vicinity o St. Johu Hundred of Acres May He Devastated of Trees. Should the plans of the D. J. & C. A. Xeal company of Chicago, be carried out the woods surrounding St. John may soon bow to the woodman's ax. A representative of this company is making the rounds among the farmers and negotigating for all the standing timber which is to be cut up and used for fuel purpose. There are still hundreds of acres of timber land between St. John and the state line, some cf which have not been visited for years. In some places the representative is welcomed as much of the land now covered with trees would be more profitable if it could be cultivated and it is only by making a clean sweep of the forests that the land could be eventually used for farming purposes. The rate at which the owners have been clearing has been slow, they only taking from it what they needed for their immediate fuel supply. FOREIGNER'S DEATH ACCIDENT. Coroner Holds 'Inquest over Car Repairer' Remains CompanyMay He Sued. An inquest was held this morning over the remains of Frank Grzechwski, the West Hammond car repairer who was killed in the Monon yards yesterday morning. At the inquest it was established that the deceased met with accidental death. The remains were turned over to a South Chicago undertaker, who is a fellow countryman of the deceased. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made. As a result of the accident the probabilities are that the Monon Railroad company will have a heavy damage suit on its hands. It is said by those who are acquainted with the ways of the foreigners that they are already marshalling their forces to meet the company in legal combat for the $10,000 allowed by the law of this state. THREE PAY FINES. James Davern of Chicago, J. Connaughton of Indianapolis and Peter Anderson, an employe at the Standard Steel Car works were before Judge W. W. McMahon this morning on the charge of drunkenness. The trio pleaded guilty and were fined $1 and costs, amounting to $11. They paid their fines and were dismissed. CAMP WANTS REMUNERATION FOR CABBAGES HE LOST. Truck Farmer Sues Railroad Company for Damage He Suffered When Chicago, Indianapolis and Ixaiville Tank Overflowed III L.and. Because the Monon railroad em ployes permitted the water tank at South Hammond to be pumpea iun to overflowing with water and because the water which overflowed covered ten acres of hi3 land with from one to two inches of water and destroyed a c.ron of cabbages, William Camp is suing the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville Railroad company for f oOU j damages. William Camp has long been known as one of the large cabbage growers in the vicinity of Hammond. Each year his wagons come to Hammond laden with the hard, crisp heads that he has raised on his farm. Last spring, however, the Monon railroad employes became careless and negligent, according to the allegations in the complaint and as a result the water tank was allowed to oversow in such quantities that Camp's land vas entirely lnnundated. Camp raises hard heads and he has a hard head and he did not propose to suffer the loss of his crop of cabbages when it was the fault of the railroad company. So he hired an attorney and he Is going to see if he can compel the railroad company to settle. Of course, there are seasons when the crops are farther advanced and the rainfalls are few that Mr. Camp would be glad to have the Monon Railroad company Irrigate his land. but he thinks they should have notisLm nermitted the use of a little rabIbfico sense la the matter.
