FOURTH OF JULY
INJURIES ARE FEW
Fire Department Called Out to Rus
sci Street No Damage is Done
East Chicago Man Injured.

The number of Fourth of July
accidents in Hammond this year was
small as compared with those of
other years. Three or four painful
cases were reported and needed
medical attention The Chicago pa
pers gave the number as much larger
but that number can only be reached
by counting every burn and scratch
that any boy may have suffered
The severest case is probably that
of Dave Evans of 609 North Holman
street, who had his forehead gashed
by an ascending skyrocket. He was
however able to walk to the drug
store and home.
Albert Juergens Of Sibley street
injured his finger with cartridge
/ powder. He was taken to st. Mar
garet's hospital
Eddie Shramm and Meyer Lipman,
two lads, were slightly injured with
firecrackers.
Michael Oswalder of East Chicago
was rushed to st. Margaret's hos
pitaI yesterday afternoon to get
medical care for q severely injured
hand. By premature explosion OF
a cannon cracker, he had his hand
so badly lacerated that three fingers
had to be amputated
The fire department was called tc

tinguish a firecracker that had fallen

MANGLED BODY FOUND;
DEATH ON RAILS ACCIDENT
Mike Getsinger Farm Foreman,
Evidently Struck by Train on His
Way Home From Crown Point.

Yesterday morning the mangled
body of Mike Getsinger, who lives
on a farm near Crown Point, was
picked up by the crew of a passing
freight train on the Panhandle and
taken to that city.
At first the man was not identified
on account of the bruised condition
of his face, but later on his identity
was established by a bunch of keys
ne was known to carry. Just how
the man was killed is not known.
He was last seen at Crown Point
about 9 o'clock, where he left some
friends and started for his farm.
Mr.. Getsinger was foreman of Mrs
Hart's farms. and when he did not
return his wife took it for granted
that he would spend the night at
the Hart farm. The people at the
Hart farm thought Getsinger would
stay at home the night before the
Fourth and did not worry about his
whereabouts. In this way it hap
pened that a search was not made
for the missing man, and this also
accounted for the fact that the body
was not recovered for nearly twelve
hours after the accident must have
happened.
At first the theory was advanced
that there might have been foul
play with the motive either robbery
or revenge, but Getsinger is not
known to have any bitter enemies
and as there was over $27 in his
pocket when he was found this the
ory was secuted.
The inquest, which was held al
Linton's morgue by Coroner Hos
kins. showed the head to be crushed
and several bones broken. The YER
dict of the coroner was accidental
death
Mike Getsinger was we'll and fav-
orably known all over the centra
part of the county as the foreman
Of the farm lands owned by Mrs
Hart. the wealthiest woman in the
county. He is survived by a wifi,
and six children.
The funeral will take place a

A Weary Willie" entered Whit

much of a reputation as a pugilist,

prominent nose and that was all
A few minutes later a strange
man, who refused TO give his name,

found that the fellows nose was
broken and his cheek Iaeerated. He

story of the encounter with the
booze clerk. When the doctor had

Crown Point independence
Day Celebration Proves
Bloomer.
VISITORS FADE AWAY
Program of Festivities Dwindles into
an Grafton on the Evil
of Alcohol.

The temperance folks who assum-
ed charge Of the grand gala in
dependence celebration at Crown
Point had a soulful and improving
time among themselves, but in the
matter of living up to their pros
pectus they fell down rather badly.
Their intentions were all right and
the townspeople and the farmer folk
in the country surrounding the
county seat fell in with the idea
and fiocked to Crown Point in their
best holiday attire and swarmed
about the public square expecting
to see:
| Automobile races
Horse races (expurgated.)
Foot races (sterilized)
Balloon ascensions (antiseptic).
Fire crackers harmless
Toy pistols with muzzles on).
Pink lemonade (dyed with colors
purely vegetable).
The committee in charge must
have decided without previous notice
that those numbers were too frivol-
Gus.
The committee. however, made
good with the piece de resistance,
the same being 3 temperance Grafton
by Hon. Felix f. McWhirter, who
ran for governor on the Prohibition
ticket at the last election, and was
voted for no less than $500 times.
The name of the distinguished
speaker was held in allegiance, OBJ
viosuly for the purpose of harmless
dramatic effect.
When the visitors realized what
was being handed to them they
gathered up their lunch baskets
their children and their teams and
silently stole away
Some of them went to Cedar Lake
some to St Johns or Merrillville ant
the rest home, to patch up the day
as best they could.
The people of Crown Point who
take pride in their way of celebrating
the Fourth were deeply chagrined.
Some time ago the temperate,
people of the town decided the!
would take charge of the Fourth o
July celebration this year.
