POPCORN GEORGE TUMBLEs.

Popcorn George thought he knew
Hammond's topography perfectly,
but he was not aware that seismic
or some other kind Of disturbance
had caused an upheavel on State
street, and so he suffered from a
serious case of over-confdence. Per-
haps if he had known that he was
in the Hammond Alps, he would
have used his alpenstock more ef-
fectively. and al embarrassing ac-
eident could have been averted.
George tried to cross State street in
front of Fred Carriers livery stable.
He started out right, but a mis-step
caused MIN to tumble into the ditch
where he sputtered and struggled
in the muddy water until be was
rescued from his uncomfortable posi-
ton by Carter himself. Now when
George comes TO a sand dune in the
middle OF the street he goes around
the block

Second Event.
FIRE IN ERIE FREIGHT YARD.

Huntington, Ind, July S-Flames
which ragged nthe Erie freight yard
this afternoon did damage estimated
at from $4,000 to $4,000 and
threatened a great amount of prop
erty with destruction. The fire
burned so fiercely for a time that It
seemed that it would go beyond the
control of the fremen. Ten freight
cars, which the officials of the COM
pany say We're empty. were burned
and several more damaged to an ex-
tent. All passenger and freight traf-
ie was delayed for several hours by
the fire. The origin of the blaze is
unknown.

HAMMOND'S HANDICAP.

Editor Times: That this is a pros
porous and pushing city. with fat
tering prospects and great possibili-
ties is plain TO any man with ordin-
airy eyesight or possessing a think
box of even average capacity. That
is, viewing the city from a purely
commercial and industrial stand
point, of course At present it is
not at all a desirable residence Ioca-
ton. With its sand and it's sand
feas, its low, marshy, scrub-oak sur
roundings, its practically sewerless
and unserviceable streets, its cellar
less houses, its utterly inadequate
street car service and its depotless
railroads. it is certainly not as yet
in a position to plume itself upon
its attractions as a residence city.
But for booze and business it is a
eorker.
It strikes me, however. as a new
conner, that you have too many real
estate or sand-estate spectators, for
the good of the present or prospective
city of Hammond, and believe these
men. in conjunction with The local
tribe Of landlords, constitute the real
and chief menace 10 Hammond's
continued growth and prosperity.
The former and fewer, At widely
voraeious class, have succeeded in
getting hold OF pretty nearly every
foot Of land. north, south and east.
and II their eagerness TO make
have clapped such ridiculouslv high
values on their holdings as tc make
them, so far as the average wage
Garner is concerned. practically pro
hibitive. Newspapers and posters
