against George K. Deuel et al.
In their petition the attorneys for
the anti-saloon league give as grounds for the dismissal the fact that the new Proctor law declares that there shall not be more than thirty-four saloons
in Gary. This presents a new angle to the case inasmuch aa general interpretations are to the effect that all present legal saloons may continue to stay in business.

With the negro tendency to melodrama the trial of Henry Dorsey, charged with the murder of Jtfhn Brown, both of Gary, came very near
I being a comedy this afternoon. The
case Is being tried in Judge Lawrence Becker's court, at Hammond. The trial became highly dramatic, from a negro point of view, when Ossie Brown, the son of the murdered man.
took the stand and told his story of the' murder. As he described the death of his father, the negro jumped out of the witness chair, and wildly gesticulating, said, "An theah he lay wif his throat cut from eah to eah dead, an yet he had tha' presence of min' to git up-an' go into tha' house." , At another juncture in the trial when a by-stander was said to be "You gay the chair was in front of holding a chair In her hand a dispute arose between the witness and Attorney Bruce as to whether the chair was in front or In back of the witness, her," said Bruce. "Are you sure it was not in back of her." "Fo de Lawd sakes," said the negro witness, "how could the chair be in back of her when I said it was in front of her." It was these incidents that enltvened the trial all of the way through. One of the exhibits which is shown by the defense is a large piece of lead pipe, which id broken in two, and which Dorsey claims was broken over his head. Although the murder and this assault Is alleged to have taken place only a
few weeks ago, Dorsey's head, with its proverbial Ethiopian thickness, does not seem to show any signs that it had ever been fractured. It is expected that the case will take at least today and tomorrow, while Attorney Bruce for the defense says that it will take the rest of the week. The witnesses who have -been heard so far are: Ossie Brown, Geo. Brownings, Clara McDowell, Charles Miller, Officer Gus Newman, Officer Dick Pruitt, Officer Mcllfreeh and Deputy Coroner Gordon, who established the corpus delicti.
Attorney William H. Sickman. the famous divorce attorney, has filed a
complaint, in which Mary Loftus seeks to secure a legal separation from Wil
liam Loftus, her husband.
The couple were married in West
namraona, koy. 14, l04 ana were
separated Jan. 15. 1911. Sickman
makes his stereotyped allegations namely that the defendant is the "owner is in possession of an ungovernable temper" and that he would
fly into a rage and call the plaintiff all manner of names. William Loftus is now in durance vile at Crown Point after having become intoxicated Jn a public place in Hammond. In view of this fact it was necessary for Sickman to inform the Sheriff where he oould get service on the defendant. The following is characteristic of Hammond's humorous and philosophical "Backstone". To the High Sheriff of Lake County: Tou will find the defendant In the case, Lotus ys Loftus, in that village of red barns. Crown Point, a guest at Hotel Tom Grant in said village. I trust you will get service today. WILLIAM H. SICKMAN. Attorney for plaintiff.
Six red-blooded, sport loving, loyal young Hammond men will meet the directors of the Hammond Athletic association on May 1st to consummate a deal for the benefit of the baseball fans of the city. On this day this committee, which may properly be called the Game Six," will turn over to the Hammond Athletic association, all properties, rights and franchises which it has built up and made valuable at its own expense, on long chances. In return this committee will only ask- for its actual
outlay of money.

Defendant Gets Verdict.
The case of Albert and Hyman Schlenski vs. Weaver & Co., which has
been on trial in the Lake superior
court before Judge Virgil S. Reiter and
a Jury, was concluded yesterday when the jury returned a verdict for the de
fendant.
The controversy involved eighty-five
barrel of apples which Weaver & Co
are said to have shipped to the Schlen-
sky Brothers in Hammond, and which
are alleged to have arrived in poor
condition.
The case has been on trial for sev
eral days. W. J. MeAleer appeared for
the plaintiff and Fred Barnett for the
defendant. The case was hotly con
tested considering the small amount
of money involved.
