LOSE DIAMONDS
ON HILL STREET
slip of Woman's Fingers just as the
Street sweepers Are Approaching
and Gems Are Seen elItterlne
Through the Dust

Somewhere on Hill street, north Of
Fifth, q diamond ring worth at least
S75 is peeping at some fortunate finder
Mr.. and Mrs. Louis 9. Roessler OF
Washington, d. c., spent an hour last
night searching for II.
They found two other rings which
they had lost, but the third, in this
instance, failed to prove a charm and
still lies somewhere on the dust-swept
street or walk.
Unfortunately, shortly after the ring
was lost a corps Of street sweepers
passed along Hill street, whirling the
dust gutterward, and the ring may
have sunk into oblivion in the sweep
ings. On the other hand 1t may lurk
I'm a crevice in the sidewalk.
Mrs Roessler had the rings over her
gloved fingers, and is inclined to think
that becoming chilled from riding In an
open car in the heavy wind her fingers
relaxed their sensitiveness and the
jewelry slipped off her fingers as she
traversed Hill street from Fifth EN-
route to her hotel.
Immediately after noticing the loss
the couple retraced steps and found
first one and then the other ring.
Some pedestrian had evidently
stepped on one of the rings, which had
a clrclet with three stones affixed and
one of the diamonds became loosened.
This diamond was picked UP by Mr..
Roessler glittering ip the dust some
feet away.

CREW SHOWS NO SYMPATHY
Leaves Man Injured by Street Car to
Take Care of Him

S. ]. Jones, painter, living at 500 East
Thirty-first street. was struck by a
southbound Moneta avenue car about 7
o'clock yesterday morning and was
badly bruised about the head and
shoulders.
He had just alighted from north
bound Moneta avenue ear, and when he
reached the rear of the car in crossing
the street he was hit by the south
bound car passing on the opposite track
Passengers who were on the car which
struck Jones say that the car crew left
the injured man lying on the sidewalk,
where they placed him until they
searched for twenty minutes or more
among the passengers for witnesses.
He was then put on the northbound car
and taken TO the receiving hospital.
Fortunately the mans injury was not
dangerous. Otherwise the long delay
before he was given medical attendance
might have resulted fatally to him.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-In a special
from Sydney, Nova Scotia, the World
today gives some details of hardships
endured by Commander Peary and his
men in the futile rush for the north
pole.
After reaching the most extreme
Greenland settlement 1t is stated,
twenty Esquimaux and one hundred
dogs were secured and then, taking
the ice, the steamer Roosevelt drifted
on and steamed through the barrier of
1921 degrees north, where winter quar-
ters We're taken up, being the farthest
north winter quarters in the history of
arctic exploration.
Arrangements to secure the ship and
make all comfortable were completed
by February z, 1906, and on that day
Peary, with his Esquimaux and three
teams of dogs made his start for the
pole.
Other parties also went out in charge
of Captain Bartlett, DR.. Wolfe, r. G.
Maroin, j. Clarke and M. Ryan, re-
spectively.
These were relief parties and they
were kept fifty miles apart.
During the first part of the journey
moderate weather prevailed and Peary

ditions changed and terrible suffering

he reached the farthest point ever
reached by man, S7.06 north latitude,
within 1853 miles of the pole.

age the food supply had almost given

tered a fierce snowstom, which last

out OF its course.
Peary Immediately set out to recover
his lost course, but before he sue

Esquimaux mad, and Peary was COM
PEELED to kill some of his dogs.
The commander enjoyed the luxury
OF dog meat equally as well as his
Esquimaux. When Peary returned to
the ship only three dogs out of seven
teen remained, fourteen having been
eaten. Musk oxen and deer killed on
the road by Esquimaux helped the fam

to kill some of his dogs to provide
food Clarke, it appears, was unable
to find his way back, but Peary luckily
came across his tracks and went to
Clarke's rescue. Clarke, it is stated
has not yet recovered from his trying
experience.
One of the other relief parties also
suffered, but all went through the or
deal with heroic fortitude Ryan's
party ran short of food and had to eat
some of the dogs.

MORE FIRE STATIONS
SUGGESTED BY CHIEF.
Ends Of Town Badly in Want of Ad-
ditional Fire Protection.

If the recommendations of Peter
Dilschneider, the chief of the fire
department, are fayorably acted up
on by the city council. Hammond
will have two branch stations in the
outer districts of the city within
few months.
The chief has for a long time real
lied the necessity of more fire pro-
lection on the south side and in the
factory district on the north side
He claims that the city is so widely
extended that it is impossible to
cover it adequately from one station
AS an illustration he points to a
possible emergency in which the de-
partment might be called over on
the north side and be busy fighting
fire there. when a house in the
residence portion of the south side
might catch fire and be destroyed
before assistance could be rendered
by the department An actual case
Of this nature happened in a slight
ly different manner several months
ago when the fire department re-
eeived a call at a certain number
on Holman street. They made the
run all the way to the intersection
of Conkey avenue only to find that
the call was north Holman instead.
BY the time the winded horses had
covered the distance to the fire on
the north side where the Ahlendorf
flats were being destroyed, the fire.
men were so anxious to accomplish
all they could that Pap" Green fell
from the roof of the burning build
ing and was severely injured
OF course, the location of the new
departments will not be decided upon
until the proposition assumes more
tangible form, but it is generally I'M
derstood that the places of greatest
need are on South Holman street. or
near Holman street on one of the
side streets, such as Douglas, Ogden
or Condit.
The need of a branch department
over on the north side where hun
dreds of thousands of dollars are in
vested in manufacturing plants is
apparent to everyone, and this
branch would be located so that it
would be in the best position to pro-
tect the large concerns there.
The chief will recommend that
substantial buildings be built and
the new departments will probably
be equipped with combination
chemical and hose wagon.
The council will make up the year
/ ~ budget at the first meeting in Sep
/ TENDER and it is then that the ap-
preparations for the auxiliary depart
ments will be asked for
