Old Song Being Lived by
Members of Royal Chef
Company.

That Hammond needs another up to
date hotel was plainly shown this
morning when the Royal Chef COM

rounds of every hotel in the city were
only able to find accommodations for
thirty Of their company, the remainder
Of the party being compelled to go on
to Chicago where they could secure
accommodations for the day and even
ings.
For some time there has been talk
of erecting another modern and up to
date hotel in Hammond, but thus far
the project has not been begun.
These conditions have been existing
here for some time to such an extent
that travelling men often Will not take
a chance on staying in Hammond over
night and make their arrangements
to go back to the city for the even
ing. as they are not sure whether they
can secure a place to sleep here or not
Only last week two New York sales
men who were in Hammond tried ev-
cry place in turn and as they were
unable to get rooms they were COM
PEELED to take the 1890 Lake Shore

night.
Several capitalists have had the
matter Of giving Hammond another
hotel under consideration for some
time, an diff they knew the actual
existing conditions many believe there
would be no hesitation on their part
to go ahead with the project.

GENIAL DOINGS IN
WEST HAMMOND
Two More Men Cheerfully
Slugged While Peace
ably on Their Way.

Another one OF those common every
day happenings came to light this
morning when Judge Flynn gave ont
the information that Stein Sczypanskf
appeared before him yesterday and
swore out a warrant for the arrest of
Joseph During and John Cictor, who
he says waylaid him on the evening Of
March 27, and beat him into a state
of Inconsistencies and made their es-
cape He charges that both men had
some grievance against him and as he
was going to his home on the night
of the 9th, both men jumped on him
as he was passing an alley.
The reason he gives for not taking
the matter before the court before is
that the men have been out of town and
he wanted to wait until they had re-
turned. The trial will come UP this
evening before Judge Flynn at the
village hall.
According to reports from West Ham
mond there was another just such a
case last night on the west side, some
unknown man was set upon by two
toughs but the fellow, whoever he was,
put the two thugs to the bad. turning
and giving them one of the worst beat
ings they ever received. After he had
put them to rout he quietly resumed
his way going towards Hammond as
though nothing out Of the ordinary
had happened.
The truth OF the story is vouched for
by one at the youngsters of the village
who says he saw the affair but did not
know the identity of any Of the men.
