FRESH CONDUCTOR
GETS WHATS COMING
Girl Who Boards 6:15 Train
at Hammond Smashes
Intruder's Head.

The conductor IN charge Of the 6:I5
Lake Shore suburban train leaving
Hammond Saturday afternoon, met
with an experience that he will not
forget for. some time. An attractive
looking young woman boarded the
train at Hammond for South Chicago,
and in passing through the coach col
lecting tickets. the charmers attract
ductor. The latter, after collecting the
tickets. came back to her seat, and
sitting down tried to engage her in
conversation. The young lady was
cool, but the conductor was obstinate
and continued his attentions after the
girl had told him she didn't care to
talk to him.
With q swing that would do justice
TO an amateur pugilist she caught him
square on the nose and with another
blow made small imprint upon his
left cheek. The passengers on the car
were in convulsions. but by this time
the train had reached South Chicago.
where the young woman left the train.
All the way TO the city life was mis-
erable for the conductor, at every turn
passengers kidded him. He tried tc
explain, but explanations wouldn't 60
with the passengers at all, who said
the young lady was justified in what
she did
The conductors name could not be
/ learned, but il is believed that he was
a new one, having never been seen or

WILL AFFECT THE
BARBER'S TRADE
Crown Pointer Discovers
Chemical Preparation To
Displace Razors.

Van w. Sherman one or Lake
county's Oldest BARRIERS now running a
shop at Crown Point was in Hammond
yesterday demonstrating a new chem
ical preparation which he has discov-
cred that will do away with razors
according to what he says. Mr.. Sher-
man demonstrated how the compound
worked by applying a small portion of
it on his hand applying it the same
as paint, taking out his watch it was
just five minutes when he washed his
hand, in washing every particle of hair
that was touched by the chemical had
been removed, leaving the skin in as
smooth a condition as though it had
been shaved with razor. When asked
whether or not the chemicals were
dangerous, Mr.. Sherman replied in the
ne gative and proceeded to put a small
quantity in his mouth and in his eye
tc show that it was harmless.
Mr.. Sherman says he has been eX-
pei imenting on the new compound for
the last 81 years and at last has COM
pleted it. Sears Roebuck and COM
pany have written him asking for the
sale, but he has not decided as yet
whether he will sell the receipt or
form a stock company and put it out
himself.

EXTINGUISHER MISTAKES MISSION
Chemical Device Designed to Put Out Fires, Almost
Puts Out Man. Victim May
Lose His Arm.

The doctor examined the wound and
found that the ligaments had been torn
from the arm. from the elbow to the
wrist. that the wrist bone had been
broken and that the whole arm was
badly lacerated.
The injured man was taken 10 his
home and there his wounds were dress
ed. 1t is feared that blood poisoning
may set in and cause complications
and it is possible that the hgaments
have been so badly torn that Stommel
will never again have the use OF his
arm.
The fire was soon extinguished and
the damage was not great. but Stom-
mel is in a bad fix and the blaze was
a costly one from this point Of view.
1t is not known what caused the ex-
plosion. The chemical apparatus was
made OF copper and leaked some be-
fore Stommel shut il off. 1t is not
known whether the air could have
caused some chemical action that would
have caused the explosion.

Four Persons Meet With
Mishaps In Hammond
And Vicinity.

Four casualties We're recorded IN
Hammond and immediate vicinity yes
terday. None of them, however, are
serious and those injured viii soon be
able to return to their work.
The accidents started at the Stand
ard Steel Car company's plant early in
the morning when Joseph Fransovich,
a laborer, who was helping to move a
large piece of steel, slipped and in fall
ing, dropped his end upon his foot, Sc
verely crushing that member.
Shortly after this accident, word
came from Hegewisch that James Car
roll, machinist was overcome with
the heat while at work Carroll was
taken to his home IN Ontario avenue
where he is being cared for.
Frank Dorsey. a Chicago motorev-
clist, was thrown from his machine
near Sharpshooters park and sustained
severe bruises about the face and
hands.
Edward Dermanski of West Ham
mond was learning to ride on a new
bicycle when his trousers became
caught in the chain, throwing him %
the ground. Dermanski sustained
scratches and bruises about the face
and shoulders. A Hammond physician
was called and the injured mans
wounds were dressed.

Puts It All Over Chicago
Papers On The Hay

S ills 5000 PAPERS
Extras Rushed to All Parts of Calu-
met Region and on to
Sixty-third Street.

THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES yesterday
accomplished the unprecedented feat
OF "scooping the Chicago papers over
the whole Calumet region on the story
of the acquittal Of Haywood.
When the verdict or the jury was
expected, THE LAKE COUNTY TINES tele-
graphed to Boise, Idaho, and asked that
this paper be informed regarding the
outcome of the trial as soon as the jury
reported.
Thus. instead of relying on press re-
ports. THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES got the
news direct from the scene Of the legal
conflict that has been waged in the
western town for the past few weeks;
and what is more important, GOT IT
FIRST
THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES was sent
into Chicago as far as Sixty-third
street and there papegs We're sold sew
eral hours before the Chicago extras
finally arrived.
In Hammond, East Chicago, Indiana
Harbor and Whiting the scoop was so
perfect that while THE LAKE COUNTY
TIMES had it's paper in the field in all
of these places shortly after noon and
in some cases earlier the Chicago pa
pers did not arrive until five. six and
nothing for them to do but to pack up
their little bundles and go back to Chi
cago without making any sales.

paper that has ever been printed in
this region and the people everywhere
were surprised and pleased to know
that a local paper had beaten every one
Of its competitors on such an inport-
ant story
AS soon as the telegram was receiv-
ed from Boise the entire force in the

were notified. and soon the whirr OF
the linotypes gave the office a week

Although the message had only been
received at 1880 O'Clock the paper was

In the meantime the newsies had
been gathered from the four corners
OF the city. They were given all the
