Want $25,000 for Trip. As a result of the failure of a conductor on the Chicago, Lake Shore and South Bend interurban line to stop his car at Meadow Brook, where it is said to have been scheduled to stop, and the resulting necessity, on the part of Mary Walstra and Julia Bennett, of walking four miles to Mineral Springs, three suits in which a total of $25,000 damages is asked have been started against the company. In the case of Mary Walstra the complaint alleges that she was in a delicate condition it the time, and the fear of danger and the exhaustion caused by the long tramp at night resulted in a serious Illness.

mental anguish caused by his wife's

suffering together wlth the fact that she may never recover from the effects, have resulted in his demanding $5,000 in damages. In the case of Julia

Bennett, the mental suffering and the . m oi his favorite trips lth his ma

physical strain are said to have affected her health. The case was filed by Attorneys Kennedy and Shunk.

STORY OF DR. YOUNG AUTO READS LIKE FAIRY TALE

This is the' story about Dr. A. A. Young of Hammond and the Insult to his automobile. Automobile Is what the sales agent called it and so it was also named in the catalog.. .What other people called it and what they say about it? makes little difference to the professional bone splicer as long as they don't say it to his face ami in the presence of the machine. It is all right, however, to say things under these circumstances when the engine is rgnnlng for then he can't hear it. Some people in trying to discuss this vehicle, do not distinguish between' the noise it makes and its speed and general reliability, and it is this lack of circumspection on the part of the would-be critic that is apt to peeve the otherwise genial doctor who is teaching the machine to recite, "The Demon Rum."

The city attorney of Hammond gets $1,000 a year. The village board last night appropriated $750 to Village Attorney Bellnski in addition to his regular salary of $920 a year, referred the claim of Attorneys Atwood, Pease & Locks for $1,500 fees and Attorney S. K. Markman for $1,500 fees to the finance committee of the village board.

So that in ppite of the fact that the extra bills for fees are valid

village attorney is paid a salary within $50 a year as large as- the city attorney of Hammond receives for doing all of the legal work of the city, the village board of West Hammond in its effort to loot the village treasury before it retire from office proposes to allow extra claims for legal fees, amounting to $3,950. This action was taken at the last session of the viflage board which was held in the afternoon to prevent, the people of the village, the citizens who

are vitally concerned in the matter, to be present and register a protest. The extra fee of $750 which it is proposed to pay out to Village Attorney Bellnski is his fee for preparing the new city ordinances. These ordinances are merely - copies of ordinances that are In effect in other cities the size of West Hammond. It would not even
