He was the only man to say ' Good morning. Judge." Baker came over to Hammond to do some trading yesterday afternoon and late ir. the evening he a? picked up drur.k by officer Warner a". Sibley and State Line streets. 'How- did ou get that way?' asked lh judge, who had plenty of time for questioning. "1 don't know for Sure.' replied Alec. "I remember going west on State street into West Hammond. I recall buying Ivo or six drinks of some stuff they called whiskey. It wasn't whiskey though for I never had six drinks as small as they sell, rut me on the hummer before. After that I don't remember anything. I don't even remember about being pinched." Speaking of fines brought up another remorseful matter for Alec. "The bailiff tells me I only had 7 cents on me when I was brought in. Thai's funny because I had ISO when I left Gary. I ought to have at least $69." The court decided Baker had been punished enough and turned h.m loose.

Down on Shark river one day while they were merely rowing around enjoying the scenery, a tarpon, six feet long, s?denly flopped right into their tcat. They had no fishing tackla or landing equipment with them and were thrown into a panic. The fish was rocking the boat violently and fell overboard,, much to the relief of the frightened tourists. Fratt says he is catching all kinds of fish down there, but has never had any trouble in keeping them out of his boat. BLAIR "POOH-POOHS" CHARGES OF MOORE 'INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE) CHICAGO.
