The cases will" have to be tried in the Illi nois courts, or be submitted to the Illinois railroad commission. Mr. Schroeter was under the impression this morning that inasmuch as they were interstate passengers, the ques tion might be one for the' federal com mission. It will undoubtedly be an in teresting case, and Hammond attorneys were free in their statements that the case is a clear one against the inter urban line. To their friends the city officials had to answer many questions regarding their physical well being today after their hike. .why they had not chosen many others. Some tried to point out to City Sealer O'Rourke that he in particular should be awarded larger damages than the others for the reason that he being a ladies' man, stands particularly humiliated in the eyes of the fair ones for having been handled like a' "rough neck." Others who showed an interest in the outcome of the cases, offered inducements for investments to be made. with the money which they expected to collect.

Louis Roth has' not yet heard the last of the hunters' duck buying scandal which originated in his place of business last week, when it was decided that the old price on ducks should be maintained for the benefit of hunters who find it more convenient to purchase than to shoot their game. Now comes Henry F. Eggers, a veteran nlmrod of Robertsdale, who says that he noticed a mention of a William F. Eggers in The Times in connection" with this matter, and that he feels Confident that the reference was intended for him (Henry F.) instead of William. That it Is not a guilty conscience that moves Henry Eggers to speak out when the hunter's honor of William Eggers Was really at stake, is evidenced by his following words: . "You had my name William Egsrers by mistake, -but I knew it meant me. I do quite a bit of hunting, but I never yet bought a duck that I brought home. It's all rigrht for some fellows that know nothing: of hunting to say we fellows buy our ducks at Shelby. Last Saturday I got five of the nicest mallards you could lay eyes on and I shot them myself." DEATH OF RESPECTED LADY (Special to The Times.) Lowell, Ind., Feb. 26 Mrs. Ruth A.
