If he can find a woman that suits his fancy he will marry her on the spot. This Interesting fact was discovered when he wrote a letter to Mrs. A. II. Krite of St. Louis asking her to become his wife. The fact should be explained that Mrs. Krite Is one of thirteen widows who are living on Widow's Row, otherwise known as Cass avenue, St. Louis. Lander is supposed to have discovered the fact that Mrs. Krite might be suc- , ceptible to his wooing by an article that appeared in the metropolitan section of a St. Louis paper. This article told of the presence of a large number of beautiful and wealthy widows who might be willing to be married again if the right person came along, and gave their names and addresses. As a result of this article hundreds of letters were received from all parts of the country.

COURTS

fense. State will require the rest of the week to complete the Introduction of testimony. Court is being held today. Sues for Divorce. Nicholas Bonert has brought an action for a divorce against Annie Bonert, In which he alleges that she associates with vile, lewd persons and fre quents wlnerooms, where she obtains Intoxicating liquors. It Is alleged In the complaint that the defendant deserted the plaintiff be cause he reproved her for her alleged conduct. She vowed that she would never return to him and has remained away ever since the 15th of August, 1904. It is alleged that she went to live with Henry Flaherty and after living with htm for a time she lived with a man by the name of Liver. The com plaint was filed by H. E. Granger. The courle were married Jan. 7 1887, and they were separated August 15, 1904. Will Be Appealed. The case of George II. Manlove vs Harvey J. Curtis, In which the city at torneyship of Gary Is at stake, will be appealed to the supreme court of the state. Judge John H. Richter of Laporte was in Hammond today and the appeal was perfected before him. Ross & Lotz appear for the plaintiff and Bom berger, Sawyer & Curtis for the de fendant. MOTIONS AND ORDERS. 6647. Emma Shoesmith vs. Charles II. Verbeck et al. All defendants who have not appeared and filed answer are defaulted. Agreed between the parties that all defenses may be proven under general denial. Sub mltted to court. Jury waived, plaintilt files writter request for special rinding facts and conclusions of law thereon. Plaintiff Introduces evidence showing that defendants Edward AV. Shoosmlth. Hattie Shoesmith, his wife, Beulah Shoe . smith and Vesta Shoesmith had actual notice of the pendency of this cause, and the Court now finds that said defendants had actual notice of the pendency of this cause. Con tinued to June 23, 1911. the others, the best-looking of the widows, led in the number of letters received. She has 76 epistles, most of which offer rnatrlmony In unreserved terms. Of these letters 40 came in one day. Mrs. A. H. Krite, with a bundle Of 40 letters ,is second In long-distance pop ulaj-ity. She Is proprietor of a con fecttonery and flower shop, and her engaging manner, pleasant face and business experience have made her strong favorite. Three applicants for her hand have called at her little store. Two of them made no bones about their errand, but the third, a St. Louis coun ty farmer, veiled his mission by ask ing Mrs. Krite how she would advise him to Invest his money. Her reply pleased him so much that he proposed on the spot. Mrs. Krite declares she has no In tention of marrying, but says she hopes a number of the other widows will wed so that she can fill the floral or ders for their weddings. The other 11 widows received an av erage of 25 letters each. This was learned from those who were willing to talk of the matter. Some of the wo men refused to say how many 'letters had reached them, but their neighbors said they had been kept answering the postman's ring as regularly as the rest. R. M. Lander of Hammond wrote the most novel of the letters. He sent an individual letter to Mrs. Krite, and then he wrote a collective epistle to "The Cass Avenue Widows." He told them that he desired a wife, not more than 30 years old. with blue eyes and light or golden hair. None of the widows exactly rneets his requirement, and hence there Is doubt whether any of them cart receive the "affection, love and devotion" whfch Lander promises to give the one who compiles with the conditions and who, he adds, "strikes my fancy in appearance." He says he la 37 years old. Is past frivolity and gets his mail at the general delivery, Hammond. ANNUAL REUNION OF THE WELSH (Special to The Times.) East Chicago, June 24.

Gary and Chicago fight fans are angry because of the backwoods management and Imposition Inflicted upon those who attended the McGoorty-Ma-honey bout at the Majestic theater last night, held under the auspices of the Gary Athletic club, which staged its first contest last night. A collection of 100 had to be taken up among the spectators before the main bout would go on, as McGoorty was susplcioous and would not do business until the $400 guarantee was In sight. I.ovr nronn anil "Wooden fhor. . An evidence of the wooden hoe methods of the cheap promoters who were responsible for what many consider will be a black eye to legitimate boxing In Lake county may be gleaded from the fact that the low brows stationed at the door wanted the Chicago newspaper men to sit In the back of the gallery. As such a place would be an Impossible one to watch the proceedings of the contest, the Chicago press delegation threatened to walk out altogether. Gary newspaper men who were assigned to cover the fig'it, were denied admission altogether. Display 'beap Taction. As a result of the cheap tactics displayed the spectators from Chicago went hack with tales of the wooden shoe methods employed by the shoestring promoters, and it is feared that this will have a bad effect upon future attendance from that city. It is said that no more permits to stage bouts will be Issued to the Gary Athletic club members, whose Initial venture Into the fighting game was a money-grabbing contest from start to finish. What effect last night's fiasco will have on the big bout to lake place In Gary under the auspices of the National Athletic club is not known.

More than a thousand persons dined with the Chlcagoans. Between courses there were songs from the official song book, with several encores for each song. Everybody sang, native Indianian or not, a process of Iloosierizatlon having changed every "foreigner" into a happy-go-lucky native son. There was so much singing that the dinner schedule lagged more than an hour, so that a distribution of special dispensations at the German house, together with a one
