west side of Broadway. north of the
track on large knoll The Weary
Willies that stop here generally as
semble there to do their cooking and
sleeping. Early yesterday morning
there We're three of them encamped
there. The smaller one of the three
on rising missed So which he claimed
TO have had. and promptly accused
the largest member of having taken
it. The largest member resented the
charge, whereupon the little fellow
picked up a convenient club Of gen
erous dimensions and knocked him
down The larger one drew a knife
but another blow from the club
changed his mind as to the use he
was going to make of it. BY this
time large crowd was gathering
and a rumor that the police were
coming, caused the fighters to hastily
leave.

The Boring of Glass.

Strong glass plates are bored through
by means of rotating brass tubes Of
the necessary diameter. which are
filed with water during boring. To
the water there is added finely pull
verified emery. 1t is said that thinner
glass can be perforated with holes in
an easier manner by pressing a disk
Of wet clay upon the glass and making
a hole through the clay of the widths
desired, so that at that spot the glass
Is laid bare. Then molten lead is
poured into the hole, and lead and
glass drop down at once. This method
IS based upon the quick local heat
ing Of the glass. whereby it obtains a
circular crack. the outline Of which cor
responds to the outline Of the hole
made in the clay. The cutting Of glass
tubes. cylinders, etc, in factories is
based upon the same principle.

A large number of men walk over
to Tollestoh very evening where bad
booze is handed out at all times of
the day and night, Sundays and other
days. When they have spent all
their money they are kicked out,
generally so drunken that they are
unable to care for themselves. 1t is
safe to say that if saloons were al
lowed here. police force twice as
large as that of Hammond could not
cope with the situation and it is to
be hoped that the officials will follow
out their original decision to make
this dry" district Although fair
ly sober after the two mile walk
through the sand, the disturbance
created by the DRINKS is anything but
pleasant.
