rp.Omf POINT. Ind., June 25. The sordid and seamy side of life was depnted for the second Lime on Friday in the Criminal Court at Crown Point. Tim Re-agon. age 52 years, of Gary, was found guilty of attempted rape, having gone to the home of Mrs. Gladys Itarmack of 252 Fillmore, street, Gary, to deliver coal, last spring, anrl-in the presence of her little daughter, made advances to her. Reagon denied the charge saying that he only put his hand on Mrs. Harmack's shoulder and told the little daughter that he wns going to steal her mother. The jury elid not believe his story nnd gave him $25 and costs. Paul Glascr defended Reagon.

PAX VOREIS, the deputy revenu. collector, thinks it would be a goo. stunt to have a "yes or no" vbte o prohibition at the election this fa!' "It, would add about a million to th cost of the election, but it would b worth it to have the matter settled, said Dan.

The fourth car attempted to beat the train across thfl
