running a traveling crane, that there were a number of wheels revolving at a rapid rate, that his clothes became caught in the wheels and in this manner his hand was caught in the wheels
and so badly mangled that it had to be
amputated.
The defendant is 21 years old and earns $2.50 a day. It is alleged that the accident might have been avoided by better protecting the cog wheels.

JURY NOW IMPANELED IN OTHER CASES Much Hinges on the White, Price et al. Trial in Valparaiso Court.
(Special to The Times.) Crown Point, Ind., June 15. Certain sections of Crown Point are- considerably wrought up over the appearance
or a "mysterious woman." on its
treets within the last few days, the
female In question appearing as if by
magic. Well dressed and Intelligent,
and with a certain amount of refinement about her person despite the fact
that she has been "in her cups" "ho greatest share of her visit here. he

mittance, on account of her condition. She. was turned loose yesterday morn-
ng and ordered to leave town, but
gain made her appearance In the af-
ernoon much the worse for drink.
Where she procured the "spirits" is a
mystery as the nothing doing" sign was hung on the front door handle of every salon in the city. She will be invite dto leave once more,or given an extended sojourn in Sheriff Grant's perfectly "dry" territory.
(Special to The Times.) Valparaiso, Ind., June 15. The trial of defendants White, Price and Mulcahey before Special Judge Hanly is proving a tame affair. The jury was impaneled late yesterday afternoon. The state introduced one witness before court adjourned.
This morning the court convened at 9 o'clock and the state finished the introduction of its testimony at 10 o'clock. By noon the defense had In
troduced two witnesses.
It Is expeete dthat the evidence will be all in earTy this afternoon and that
the arguments will not only be con
cluded but the case will go to the Jury
before night.
It is rumored that if the state falls through in the prosecution of these cases that the action against Knotts may be nolle prosaed. This rumor.
however, cannot be confirmed.

Standard Oil Sues.
The Standard Oil company filed a. bill in the Chicago circuit court yesterday in which it asks that the courts de
termine who is entitled to $1,343.25. The sum is an unpaid balance on a contract for $4,000 awarded to the Weber company at Whiting. The following claim
the money is due them through assign
ments: Ervln F. Kemp, the Hamilton National bank, the Prairie . .ational
bank, the Interstate Iron & Steel com pany and the Emylin Iron Works.
State Rests in Case.
The state rested in the Caldwell case
at 3 o'clock this afternoon and D. T
Boone, who, with Attorney Joseph Con
roy are representing the defense, began
his opening statement.
It is not thought that it will take more than a day or two for the defense
to complete the introduction of Its
testimony and the case will probably go to the Jury some time Monday after
noon.
FLAG DAY EXERCISES AT ELICUAST NIGHT Affair Was Well Attended and Successful in Every Particular.
The annual Elks' flag day exercises were held last evening at the Elks' club rooms and a large crowd of Elks and their families and friends attended the enjoyable affairs. The hall was prettily decorated with bunting and flags and everything was arranged appropriate to the services. A number of out-of-town people attended and everyone left wfth the knowledge of an evening well spent. After the program light refreshments were served, -which was followed by a social hour. Prof. DeArmond of Chicago rendered several solos and was assisted by his wife, Mrs. DeArmond. Miss Spafford gave a vocal and violin solo, which was heartily responded to. The Hammond quartet gave a number during the program and were requested to sing several more. They were assisted by C. Rhode. Prof. R. Deighton, who is making a short stay in Hammond with Dr. A. Young, also gave a nujViber of piano solos. Flag day exercises next year will be arranged so as to hold an afternoon program for tne children.
mittlng any more public contests. He
declared that Hammond had been glv en a black eye as a result of its repu
tation as a prize right center in years gone by and that it would be foolish to renew a condition that took so long
to live down. Tapper has secured considerable sup port from the business men that he ha;
approached on the matter. They are almost a unit against having any more
fights.
They do not see how the invasion o
the city by toughs and pickpockets can be avoided. John E. McGarry said that he would be in favor of more fights providing every one who came was vouched for. He thought that would
eliminate the pickpockets and bums

SPEED MANIACS INVADE
GLENDALE PARK NOW
The auto speed maniac now has dis

autoists Invade the beauty spot and
proceed to tear up the pavement at a rate of speed anywhere from thirty to
fifty miles an hour. Some of the wors
offenders are Hammondites, who do not
enter the park with the idea of ad
miring its beautiy, but rather to avail themselves of a good track on which to
practice taking turns at high speed.
j.ne residents or Uienaale do no
mean to be selflish and to shut them
selves off from ti.e outside world, bu
they do object to autoists making race track of the parkway.
Plant May Close.
There is a well defined rumor tha

CLUB TO HOLD PICNIC.
John W. Morthland, chairman of the
entertainment committee of the University club, is making arrangements for
picnic, which is to be given at Hud
son Lake, in the near future.
The club has never held a picnic and
it will afford a fine outing for its members. The picnic will not be a
money-making affair and will be open
only to members and prospective members.
It is expected to have a large num
ber of stunts along the line of those adopted by the Indiana Society at Geo. Adae's farm. One of the features will be a baseball game between the life and associate members of the club.
As this list Includes some of the best
known business and professional men of the city it is sure to be of interest.
The annual "joy ride" and chicken din
ner at Binyon's, near Cedar Lake, is also one of the events that will be scheduled for the near future.

on the part of the Monon railroad which seems to make it certain that the

plans and specifications for the new depot are to be submitted to the con

Schneidt Case Dismissed.
the case of the state vs. William
