tried today by Judge Walter J. Riley.
The proudest man in Hammond yesterday was H. R. Schneider of the Hammond bufTet, who went to applaud the exceedingly clever and fascinating Carrie Webber, co-star with George Sidney in the musical comedy Busy Izzy" at the OrpUeum. Miss Webber is a Chicago girl, and when she was a tot was a great favorite with Mr. Schneider, who is proud to recall that he used to dandle her on his knee. "Ah, those were good old days," said bachelor Mr, Schneider, "and I couldn't dandle Carrie any longer even If she was' willing." Mr. Schneider was the guest at a little dinner party which the company gave last night.
