The city at the time the property was condemned allowed 11,200 damages.

The board of public works of the city of East Chicago won a double victory Saturday and Monday when two courts turned down a plea entered In behalf of the Interstate Iron and Steel company for a temporary restrains order to prevent the city from opening 141st street to its full width of 80 feet through the company's property. The courts to which the Interstate turned for relief from an order recently made by the city condemning forty feet along the Interstate's property, (the other forty feet having been con demned many years ago), were the Lake Circuit court and the United States District court. The plaintiffs, through their attorneys, William Whlnery of Hammond and J. I"). Kennedy of Kast Chicago, appeared in the Circuit Court on Saturday. Abe Ottenheimer representel the city of Kast Chicago. Judge McMahsn refused to grant the restraining order, so on Monday the case was carried to the United States District Court. Charles Johns for the Interstate told the old story which has been sprung from time to time for the past several years, of his company's intention to put in improvements amounting to $1,000,000 and that this could be done In case Hist street was opened. Judge Anderson after learning the facts regarding the Intention of those who laid out Cast Chicago. namely that 141st street had always been in-

sor was elected and qualified. He gave as his reason for putting this clause in his resignation the fact that, although he had tendered his resignation, he would continue in the council and would have a say so as to who should be elected to succeed him. Attorney McCracken. for the Commercial club, asked Castleman some pointed questions yesterday morning, one of which was In effect that Castleman did not write the resignation, which he claims to be the original, until some time after the resignation was tendered, and that at that time he Inserted this all-important clause

after he had learned that by law he

could not withdraw his resignation ana that an acceptance of the same was not necessary, and that he also knew hat this purported original resignation

was a concotted affair. To this Castle-

! man had quite a time answering. The I question was twice read to him by the I stenographer, ' and It was finally split

before he would answer. To each of the sub-divisions he answered In the

negative and was very emphatic ii his

Michigan City, Ind., June 12. The Castleman ouster proceedings are nearing a finish In the superior court. Castleman was on the stand in his own behalf yesterday. Effort to oust him from the Gary council Is being made by the Gary Commercial club. Castleman made a very positive witness. He filed his resignation with the council, but later withdrew the resignation. The original copy of the resolution Is missing, so says the defense, but the Commercial club produced a paper purporting to be the original. The paper produced by the club merely states that the councilman resigned. Castleman contends that- the original contained another clause, upon which he Is basing his right to continue In the council. This clause in effect is that he was to serve until his succes-
