It then developed that shocking conditions had been existing at the residence at 20 Plummer avenue, in which the wife of John Roberts was found deeply implicated. Her husband admitted that he knew of the existing conditions. The charges or petit larceny were then dismissed against the two men and they were re-arrested on charges of adultery and assault and battery. Pleading guilty, they were fined and the woman placed under a 30 day pa role. The fines against Hunt and Rob erts were suspended for a month, and providing the fines are not paid in the given time they will be sent to Crown Point in default. Take 3 Straight Games. In a one-sided series in the Hammond city bowling tournament at the Towie & McCool alleys last night the E. 15. A.'s threw a surprise into the Hoffman camp by copping off three straight games. Besides establishing a new record of winning sixteen consecutive games the victories give the brewery boys a good hold on first place, the Clabby aggregation giving

STREET CAR

DAMAGED

In a collision between a motor truck and a South llohman street car near Highland street this afternoon after three o'clock, the street car and truck both were badly damaged the car vestibule being demolished. .The motorman R. E. Stevens sustained slight injuries. The car and motor truck were both coming north near the Gostlln switch and the truck a Chicago monster loaded with air tanks cut in on the tracks and instead of going on re versed his power with the result that the on-coming street car got the brunt of the shock. PHONE EXCHANGE WAS CLOSED (Special to Thb Time?.) Crown Point,, Ind., Feb. 5. Owing to the fact that one of its eight operators, Miss Hazel Krimbill, hud been exposed to scarlet fever and taken down with the disease herself, the Crown Point Telephone company closed its exchange here from 9 to 3 today in order to permlt the board of health to fumigate the rooms. The exchanre was ooen again this afternoon. the E. B. A.'s first money. The pinwork was far below par in last night's contest and it was evident that the pinmen were unable to topple the maples in their usual form. Splits were of a common variety and numerous, resulting in the scores being low. Not a 200 game was chalked up during the entire series, the high game being rolled by Geib with 197. Elbert made second best with 195. Another interesting rag-time tourna ment is now in progress at Towle and McCool's alleys and an effort will be made to better the scores that were hung up in the rag-time contest at Cox's alleys a week ago. Contestants can change partners as Often as they like in the doubles, while two games can be rolled in the singles. The tournament will close Sunday evening Feb ruary 16.

But friends of the two nimrods state that they failed to see the well filled game bag and as there is no one to verify the number except the two hunters we will leave to to "Uncle Bosh" to solve the hunting story. STREET CARS BADLY DELAYED A Hammond, Whiting & East Chi-1 cago treet car was delayed eighteen minutes in railroad crossings last night at about five o'clock. And all of this delay took place in the round trip between the corner of State and Hohman street in Hammond and the city of East Chicago. Going over the car was delayed five minutes at the Monon, Erie and Nlckle Plate crossings on State street. coinIn gback from East Chicago the car was first delayed at the Michigan Central crossing of Calumet avnue for cix minutes and at the State street crossing for seven minutes. It is these crossing delays that are demoralising the traffic ch the Hammond, AVhiting Sz East Chicago line and are making a double track an ab solute necessity. BOUNCED HIM ON THE HEAD WITH A SPADE Following a quarrel in which an East Hammond man bounced another on the head with a spade. Russell Laneonicie cmpoyed at the Standard Steel car works was arrested by Con stable Kay J'neips on a charge of as- 1 sault and battery, joe Lund the corn-! plaining witness exhibited a severely' bruised head in Judge Prests Court this morning and it was a miracle that the defendant was not killed by the blow.

Slping That Gal With The 'Blue Dress On Cfclico Hop .dttrfcets 40 0 Dancers To Elk y5ffa.lT AX Masonic Temple Last Alght

By arranging a program of old-time dances, the Hammond Elks last night tried to turn back the hand of time for a few. hours at the Masonic temple. They succeeded in providing an en joyable evening's entertainment, it was clearly demonstrated that but the dances of twenty years ago are not within the accomplishments of the present generation. Even the simplest quadrilles entailed confusion. while the Sicilian Circle, the lT.,nt. J 1 t- 1 Money Musk and the Virginia Reel which were on the program, had to be abandoned entirely. The size of the crowd was partly responsible, but the fact is that the younger generation were raw recruits in these, old forms of the terpslchorean. art. The program served its purpose nevertheless, it provided good amusement. The occasion was a alioo hop.-, and the Elks, in accordance with their reputation for thoroughness . and originality, added a bit of realism to the event by providing a fiddler and a caller of the old school. These two heroes who braved the dangers of an effete city came all the way from Galien, Mich., were "Prof." Nelson Sawyer, with his trusty fiddle, and "Bill" Kramer, with his calling voice. Everybody who saw and heard them was convinced that they were the real article. "Bill" Kramer has a reputation down Galien way of being able to cal dances all night long without having to repeat a single set. but "Bill" had to had been requested to keep the exact character of his appointment a secret until 11 is nnauy maae. Local Meets. The Hammond local of the International Carpenters' and Joiners' of America held a meeting last night and heard the official report of the international election. Telephone Man 111. Oscar Krinbill, the manager of the Chicago Telephone company, in this this region, is 111 at his home with a severe cold. Mrs. Krinbill says that his illness is not serious, but he expects to remain at home until he has completely recuperated. Denies Motion. Judge Virgil S. Reiter today denied the motion for a new trial in the case of Kubucar vs. Ahe Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago Railway Company. W. W. Miller of Chicago represented the ptlntiff and Crumpacker, Crumpacker & Ttnkham represented tho defendant, The Jury found for the defendant in this case and the pallntiff's asked for a new trial. The attorneys for Kubucar gave notice of an appeal. Legislators By W. II. niudgett.) The announcement that several members of the general assembly, also two former members of that body, were to j go on a pleasure trip to the north part of the state Friday afternoon and remain until Sunday evening caused some envious persons to declare it a junket- ! ing trip. 'Tis not so. The days of ! Junketing have gone by in the Indiana legislature; no more will the chief doorkeepers hold up the breweries and faloons for drinks and the cigarmakera for cigars nnd the railroads for trains and the hotels for "eatfl." No more will the estimable members of various committees accompany the doorkeepers on trip to the various institutions and come back home with dark brown tastes in their mouths and put in the kind of a report, at the state's expense, that the persons they investigated ask for. The party that is to leav here is a pleasure party. It goes at its own expense, and it is stated that the members who go will remit to the state the amount of their salaries for Saturday should the gener-

admit last night that he never hid been up against anything quite so hard as trying to call for so many people who knew ao little as to what was ex pected of him. As for "Prof." Nelson Sawyer, who j paints when he has no engagements to . fiddle, he delivered the goods. As an artist Sawyer belongs to the old school which beats time with the heel of the right foot; the other school which also has a large following usuJ ally beats time with the foot on the I . 1 1 .v j. W . crossed leg, the movement being from the ankle down, a sort of aerial see Saw motion. Contrary to the habit of most country fiddlers, sawyer does not sway his body ' to keep time. Inthls he was a little disappointing, but his stern, sober face made up for this. That he is no mean fiddler was shown by the fact that his E string had a knot tied in -it on "the rar side of the bridge. This was in no way a handi cap for him, however. Another evidence of his virltuososhlp was given when he tightened up his A string without in any way missing a bow stroke in the midst of a quadrille. The ladies in the majority came dressed in calicos and ginghams, al though a few could not resist the temptation of silks and laces. Some of the men added to the rustic scene by appearing in overalls and jumpers and wearing the red bandanas. The grand march was led by Dr. J. T. Clark and Mrs. J. F. Reilly, and nearly 200 couples participated in this, al assembly be in session that day. Many pe0ple think that is going a little ! j too far, but if the members who are away on a pleasure trip do not wish to accept pay for the days they are ab sent, they ctrtainly have the right to refuse. That matter, however, will not be discussed on the trip, neither will ' the bill that Ed. Simon has before the j legislature substantially increase hii . pay as auditor of Lake county be takI en up for discussion. Mr. Simon will give all his time to entertaining the guests. The report that rie will come here for them Thursday Is erroneous he is here all the time. The mem bers and those who go with them will , have a chance to see the deadly grade j crossings at Hammond that RepresentI ative Carter of Lake is so anxious to I remove by track elevatUon and in which ' Mr. Simon is greatly Interested. They 1 will see the Hoosier slide at Michigan City, and Senator Faulkner would give them a ride on the lake were it sura- ' mer time. They may see instead, how- ! ever, the best managed etate's prison in j lne country, m uporie mey may see the uunness murner rarm ana uem Harrow's collection of blue prints of the swamp lands in the Kankakee re gion. At Gary they may see a most 1 wonderful city and may hear the picturesque explanation given by Big Bill Cain, the contractor, as to why Gary was not made a city of the sec ond class. And when they come home they will b refreshed and rejuven ated, and ready for the daily grind of j making laws for their fellow men. But don't call that trip a junket.
