SUES FORDAH&GES
Attorneys Harris and Bretssh have filed an action for damages against the Gary and Interurban railroad in which 1250 is asked for the loss of a horse
which was Injured when the owner,
Charles II. Schubel, drove into that
portion of Broadway which the Gary
and Interurban neglected to pave for so long.
It is alleged in the complaint that
the franchise ordinance which waa passed by the Gary city council required that the Gary and Interurban f Rail
way company build a strip ot track twenty-six feet in width in the center
of Broadway, which pdrtion of the
street was to be occupied by the tracks Of the street railway company.
It is further alleged that the Gary
and Interurban Railway company failed to do this within a reasonable time, and as a result the horse waa Injured and had to be killed. The accident hap
pened juiy is,

peared for the Gary & Interurban Railway company In a number of cases, was asked If the decision would put much of a "kink" in the plana of the interurban company he represents. "It all depends upon what Seaman does," said Gavlt. "If he gets busy and builds the line within the stipulated time he will have the right to the street but if he Is unable to finance the project and the line is not built within the time stipulated then our company will have the right under the franchise
It now holds to go ahead and construct Its line to the Ridge Road."
f.lA!l WHO STOLE
TYPEWRITER SENTENCED
And It Wasn't a Blonde Typewriter Either, You See.
The trial of Henry Dorsey, colored,
charged with the murder of John
Brown of Gary, also colored, came up in the Dake Superior court before Judge Lawrence Becker, court room
No. 2, this morning.
One of the features of the case so
far is the fact that the jury was selected by both sides without having had a single juror challenged. This is
the first time In the history of the Lake
Superior court that a jury in a murder
trial has been selected with perfect unanimity of choice.
While It was expected that the selec
tion of the jury would take all morning it was actually selected in less than an hour and the trial of the case
began at ten o'clock. The state is represented by Attor
ney Ralph W. Ross and the defense is represented by Attorney Milo Bruce of
Hammond, who was appointed by the
judge to try the case.
While it was expected at first that the case would be a one sided affair
Attorney Milo Bruce has succeeded in
securing some evidence of extenuating circumstances. The murder happened in Gary several weeks ago when the defendant & alleged to have cut the throat of John Brown without provocation. It will be maintained by the state that the murder was unprovoked while the defense will maintain that the murder was In self defense.
In the case of the State of Indiana vs. Krewlow in which the defendant was charged with grand larceny for having stolen a typewriter the Jury found him guilty and sentenced him to from one to fourteen years in the
penitentiary.
The typewriter was stolen from the
plant .of the Shieber Potato Machinery Co. and was afterwards located in the defendant's trunk. He was arrested
and yesterday the jury found him
guilty.
The defendant, was unable to employ
an attorney and the court appointed
George I. Sheerer and Ben Henderson
to represent him. The defendant could
not talk English and the trial had to
be carried on through an interpreter.

While Judge Virgil S. Better still
has under advisement the question of
granting an appeal in the injunction matter in which he decided for the Gary & Southern and against the Gary
St interurban railway company, it U admitted by the attorneys asking for the appeal that there is no chance that the court will rule In favor of the Gary
& Interurban Railway Co.
It is taken as a matter of law that there is no appeal from the decision of
the court In a case oi this kind and
the plaintiff does not expect the couit
to grant Its motion for an appeal.
So while the court has not Indicated his decision on the question it is ac
cepted by the attorneys on both sides
a a foregone conclusion that the ap peal will not be granted.

When the street car neared the Elgin,
Joliet & Eastern tracks the boys saw
a street car coming from the opposite
direction.
Fred Tarck was In the position of
the greatest danger. One of the boys
said, "Look! the car is coming." Fred Tarck, according to the testimony of
the other boys, said, "Yes, we're going
to heaven." In another hour he was
dead.
The approaching car side swiped the
three boys, who were stealing a ride.
Yarck was knocked oft and killed. Felix
Gratwick had his head knocked
through the car window and Richard
Smith was unhurt.
, Car Backed i p. The crash of the breaking glass at
tracted the attention of the conduc
tor, and in a minute he realized the
full seriousness of the accident. The
car was backed up to the place where
the boy's body lay and it was taken to
Hammond.
Those who testified before the cor
oners Jury were Richard Smith, 63 Torrence avenue; Felix Gratwick, 184 Pennsylvania street; W.ll Dietei, a passenger on the car; Frank Shine, Frank J. Gottschar, the conductor: John Rip
ley, Albert' Manson and Alfred Adrian.
No verdict has been rendered as yet, for the reason that the coroner has not had an opportunity to go over the evidence, but it is believed that the evidence will warrant a verdict of accidental death, and that the Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago Railway company will be exonerated from all blame lft connection with the affair.
