LAWRENCE CASE TO BE TRIED AGAIN
In the case of George W. Lawrence
vs. the Pennsylvania Co., the case was not submitted to the jury. The case Involved the loss of a building which was destroyed by lire, alleged to have ' been started by a spark from an engine. r I Judge Anderson ruled that the meas
ure of the - loss Is the difference In the value of the property before and after the fire. The plaintiff failed to show this. It showed the value of the building destroyed, but- the court ruled that
It would have to measure the loss in the manner described above. ' , The Jury was discharged and the 'case will be tried again at the next term of court. The court ordered that the plaintiff pay the costs to date. One of the features of the trial of the case was the continual prodding . to which the lawyers on both sides
d during the entire trial.

i Thursday afternoon.
killing was postponed, until not long ! ago one of the firemen, whose name is withheld for obvious reasons, decided to play a joke on Red. The ioke was this. One day recently Chief Flack drove over to the Har
bor in his buggy. While the chief was engaged with Assistant Chief Doherty
and while Red was admiring the landscape from the front of the engine house, the nameless fireman slipped the goof e Jn the back of the chiefs buggy and covered the bird ud so that the
chief did not know it was there. A.t
least so the story goes. Arrived at the East Chicago station, the presence of the goose was discovered, and the merry, jest was carried to its second stage.
it was killed and carried to the home
of one of the firemen, where tt was
roasted and brought back to the engine
house and eaten. All of the East Chi
cago fire laddies helped to consume the
goose and as many a could be spared from the Harbor were Invited to the
least, needless to say, "Red" was not
among those present. 1
He received, however, the next day a
box for the delivery of which he paid
nappy nepler forty-five cents. The
box contained the bones of the goose and a few appropriate mottoes, as
All s well and the goose hangs high"
"Red, your goose Is cooked," and simi
lar sentiments which put him wise to
the fact that something had happened
and that his pet was involved in the
circumstance. He bethought him that
he had missed his pet the past few days and he went to the place where the
goose was in the habit of sunning him self to have a slant at the animal.
There was no goose there.
This all happened several days ago,
and anybody who thinks It Is safe to
make a noise like a goose in the viclni
ty of "Red" these days, would better wear brass knuckles when making the
experiment.

Indiana Harbor, April 21. If you
tears prepare to shed them now.
The beginning of this pathetic tale
dates back to the merry Christmas tide
when Daniel, better known as vRed'
Davis of the Indiana. Harbor fire de
partment, won himself a nice white goose at a drawing at Ben Goldman's
saloon.
' For some reason "Red" did not care
to slaughter the animal then and there.
He thought to fatten him up a trifle more and for that purpose enconced
him at the engine house, where living was good and where his care would be
less burdensome than at home. "Red
became fond of the goose, which grew
into something of a pet. From day

of the business men are falling over each other in a scramble to secure
choice space. They realize that this
is about the best advertising medium
of the billboard variety that Lake coun

It; la expected . that there will be

A GREAT INDUSTRY A writer in the Engineering World
states that, the cement industry now
ranks third in this country, being exceeded only by Iron and coal. With the completion of two new cement mills at Bufflngton Lake county will rank among the world's foremost cement producers. The engineering magazine says: , "The growth of the portland cement industry has not ended, and its present relative importance Is rarely understood. Its increase in size and In commercial influence brings with it certain consequences which might well be borne in mind at the present moment. We can no longer feel that the cement Industry is small and unimportant and that Its condition is purely a matter of private or local Interest. On the contrary, it must be realized that the soundness of the cement industry has now become a matter of interest not only to cement manufacturers, but to commercial and financial interests generally. - ' 'tin capital employed It probably ranks third only to Iron and. coat among the American mineral industries. It certainly far outranks In this respect all the gold mining and industry of the United States and Alaska. Even the copper industry falls' inte lowen place.. -for Finlay has recently esMJr' mated that 'the value of all the copper mining and smelting plants. of -the
United States 4s only f 110,009000.'-Frera thebanking point of view, therefore, we are dealing with one of the three great - extractive industries of- the world."
