SOUTH HOFFMAN ST.
HOMES ARE ENTERED
Thieves Break Into Resi-
dences of E. w. Bump
and Charles Dyer.
GET JEWELRY AND SILvERWARE
Ruse Played on Police To Attract
Them From Scene-Then
Burglaries Occur.

Two residences of well known south
siders We're broken into last night and
from one of them. jewelry to the value
of SIS was stolen. In the other a set
of solid silver forks and a set of solid
silver knives was obtained by the
burglars. The loser of the iewelry is
f. w. Bump, the Hammond architect
whose residence is at $50 South Hoh-
man street. and the other. is Charles
Dyer. $50 South Holman street.
1t is thought by the police that both
of the rohberies were committed by
the same men and that the shooting
which was heard about the time of the
depreciation was made for the purpose
of getting the police away from the
scene of the robbery. Policeman Fred
Frenk who travels. that beat said that
at the time of the hold-up he was over
by the state line investigating the
shooting and he had no more than got
back to Holman street before he heard
of the robbery.
In the Bump residence, entrance was
gained through a rear window and one
of the members of the household heard
the noise down stairs. but thought it
was being made by members of the
| family. Later, however, when one OF
| the burglars opened door, not know
| ing anyone was present and saw q
woman sitting in the room, the thug
was as surprised as the woman and
both made a dash In opposite directions
/ The burglar made a dash for the stair
way and there wasn't a sound heard

have jumped ali the way down, accord
ing to the story related this morning

This is one of the boldest attempts tha
has been recorded for some time, oc

evening Most of the Bump family a

were known to be away for the even

an inducement to the thieves to do tn
job the hour they chose.

Griffith. Nov with a column of
petroleum squirting several feet above
the surface of the water. like a small
geyser, a bad break was found in the
pipe line Of the Standard oil company,
where it crosses the Little Calumet just
north of Highlands. Thousands Of
gallons Of oil may have been lost be-
fore anything wrong was discovered,
and when first seen. the surface of the
river at that place was covered with
the escaping oil. which was carried on
down the stream
The pumps at the station were
stopped and men sent to repair the
breach. but it was found to be a very
difficult job.
The pipes lie several feet below the
surface Of the water and the broken
section is near mid stream.
Enough extra pipe was hauled from
the company's station at Griffith to

CITIZENS FAVOR
THE BOND ISSUE
Election Carried With 247
Ballots For and 81
Against Measure.
II PER CENT OF VOTE CAST
School Board Satisfied With Result
School VIII Be Best
In City.

The special vote last Saturday on
the question of issuing school bonds
for the Wallace school on Conkey ave
nue., was carried in favor of the bonds
by vote of PA against "a.
Less than II per cent of the voters
Of Hammond turned out to vote and
only in one precinct, the first in the
first ward, was the measure defeated
Even in Robertsdale, where most op-
position was expected. the vote was
carried in favor of the bonds by a
majority OF one.
We did not expect a heavy vote and
are highly satisfied with the returns" :"
said Attorney J. C. Ibach, member of
the board of education. today.
1T is true ninety four voted against
the measure. but am satisfied that a
large majority of them had personal
grievances instead of considering the
principle involved. The building walls
are almost completed to the second
story and whether the vote had been
carried. we would have continued the
building just the same with the diff
ference that the Hammond people
would have had to pay per cent or
more on warrants whereas now they
get off with possibly per cent on the
bonds. and in any event not over 8
per cent"
The Wallace school was begun last
August and when completed for next
years term will have twelve rooms
| The board, however, at this time does
not contemplate finishing the four up
per rooms. preferring to leave them
| until they are needed.

through the sand dunes. trying every
avenue of escape. The posse took all
that could be caught and brought them
TO the lookup.
The hoboes had a picturesque camp
and were well supplied with food and
clothing for a long layof throughout
the winter months. They had built
over an old shanty in such a way that
it was half under ground and this was
provided with hunks TO accommodate a
number Of guests. They had done con-
siderable foraging and had accumulated
a number Of fine hens and chickens and
a quantity of potatoes and other fodder.

Finest In Town.

The Wallace School will probably be
the finest school building in Ham
mond and will relieve the congestion
in the other schools as well as take
care of the children in the neighbor-
hood of the Standard Steel and Conkey
plant.
One man was heard to say last Sat
urday that he voted against the issu-
ance of the bonds for the reason that
he objects to the people of Hammond
being taxed to educate the foreigners.
