Sheriff Thomas took Sam Morton, to Michigan City prison last Tuesday, to
serve out a sentence of one year for grand larceny. Judge Field sentenced
the prisoner last week. The officer saw the prisoner in the cooper
department in a very short time after being received.
John Townsend, a well known bridge builder, in employ of the Lake Shore road
for many years, was found dead in a passenger car at South Bend, Saturday
morning. He was on his way from Adrian to Chicago, and would have stopped
at Chesterton to see after the bridge being built here had he lived. Heart
disease was the cause of his death.
Our exchanges are teeming with accounts of freaks of rabid dogs. Dogs are
going mad in different places every day and nearly every time a human being
is bitten. Around Chesterton, there are some of the scurviest, horrid
looking curs to be found in a day's travel. Why, some of them look as
though they were made on purpose to go mad and bite somebody. If the owners
must keep them would it not be well to keep them muzzled.
Nine cars loaded with Swedish immigrants, bound for Minnesota and Dakota,
passed through on the early Friday morning train. We are told by well
informed Swedish people that the Swedish government is making strenuous
efforts to stop emigration, and a bill is up providing that no citizen over
18 and under 35 years of age, can leave the country. If this is done, then
the United States must retaliate by refusing the rest admittance.
In the long list of candidates for the Republican nomination for Recorder
men of every stripe are represented. We see the perpetual office seeker,
the "green country aspirant," pushed forward by his trainer, the man who
can't earn a living any other way, and needs it, and the man whom the office
is fitted for. They are on the track for the race, all confident of
winning. Of course there is jockeying going on, and it is not always the
best man wins. There is just as much honest in politics as there is in a
New York horse race.

Wm. Heffron, the painter, flies around like a streak of greased lightning.

give him a call.
Ed Hankins, the recently appointed United States Marshall for Indiana is
charged with offensive partisanship. Senators Ingalls (Kansas) and C____
(Texas) have been selected as a subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary

be taken by Friday.
Last Monday, James Leahy, lately from Wisconsin, broke his leg. He was
going to Porter on horseback, riding a spirited horse, and on _________ the

It is very likely that the family will raise the necessary funds, and secure

I am wondering if there is a Betty Lou Sabinske with the married name of Hansen in your family tree. I believe she is from the Porter County area.
