SUCH A WASTEFULNESS.
Judge Mcmahon Orders Destruction of
S64 Bottles of Beer.

Oh, ye men who have descended from

There are men who will stand by
and see bottle after bottle DESTROYED
just because a man over in Gibson hap
pened to be caught running a blind
tiger at Gibson. There are some strong
men on the police force, but it is doubt
full if they can look on and witness
such wholesale destruction of booze
without shedding a few tears.
George Speardon was the first man in
Indiana to be arrested and convicted
under the new blind tiger law and he
will not only have to pay nominal
fine of $50 in cold cash, but he will suf-

.C0RONER'S VERDICT
FINDS MURDER DUNE
At Inquest Over Remains
of John Mihalko Gun
knoWns" Blamed.

At the inquest held over the body
OF John Mihalko, the coroner's Jury
brought in a verdict of death caused
by fractured skull, which was in
hicted by person or persons unknown.
Yesterday the East Chicago police
arrested Paul Kovacs as a suspect of
the crime, as he was seen in company
with Mihalko during the evening, and
when brought to the station he was
padly bruised about the head
The police expected to get some kind
OF statement out of Kovacs last
night. as they are satisfied that he
knows something about the death of
Mihalko. They have, however been
unable to wrench any facts from Ko-
vacs, who protests that he knows moth
ing about the matter.
One story from East Chicago is that
Mihalko was seen in company with
three men during the evening, and one
of them was heard to say: 'MihaIko
is easy"
The police maintain that Mihalko
acted as though he was drunk when
he was brought into the station and
for that reason he was booked as a
drunk.
Mihalko is a married man and lives
in Forsyth avenue

Hammond parents might do well te
look after their own children, some OF

night after night and going unre-

them.
Last night LAKE COUNTY TIMES re-

hve Hammond girls come out of sa-
loon and as they walked down the
street past the dives they were laugh
ing and talking and some OF the words
they used would not look well in print.
Within the last week one of the
officers of the West Hammond police
force said that he had seen Hammond
girls night after night walking around
over the village. Once he had seen
one of the girls under the influence Of
liquor. He further said: The West
Hammond dives would not be in exist

tronage.
Last night several Hammond young
men We're seen in the dives making
merry.
Since the visit to West Hammond of
the five Chicago detectives, the dive
keepers have made up their minds that
their time is short. The appearance of
the officers did more to cause the sa

all of the threats of Attorney Mark

general belief that after May 1, when

yesterday romance drifted this wav

interest both because of the promi-

the elopement of a pair who had once
oe1ore tried marriage with each other
and found 1t a failure. They found
1t failure to such an extent that a
divorce was secured in Cook county
courts two months ago. Eight weeks
of single blessedness, however, was
sufficient for each. so they decided once
more to re-embark on the troubIous sea
of matrimony, and they came to Ham

UNIVERSITY CLUB
SEEKS LARGER QUARTERS
Organization Has Outgrown IT'S Orig
tnaI Rooms In Hammond building ON
Fourth Floor and Has Moved TO
Third Floor.


The University club of Hammond is
moving into larger quarters. At first
the club occupied suite of rooms on
the fourth floor of the Hammond build
ing but it was soon found that the new
rooms would not be large enough to
accommodate the members and so
larger quarters were secured on the
third foor.
The club rooms are now sufficiently
roomy for all and are much more at
tractive than they were There IS a
large reception room apd two smaller
rooms that will be used for reading
and lounging rooms.
"A ten foot lounge seat has been made
especially for these rooms and will be
upholstered in such a manner as to
make it exceedingly comfortable.
A long oak table has been secured
for the reading room and fine oak
stand for the smoking ROOM Other
pieces of furniture such as chairs and
stands have been ordered and are on
the way.
All of the members of the club have
promised to secure pennants from the
school from which they hail and these
are to decorate the walls of the rooms
Posters and pictures are also to be
provided and when all of the furni-
ture and decorations have been put in
the members will give a smoker to
celebrate the occasion
Now that the club members are in
their new club rooms the prospects
are brighter than ever. The club plans
several social affairs among its mem
bers this spring and it is now plain that
it is to fulfill every promise that was
made for it.

Storm His House.

John ]. Flynn, the West Hammond
magistrate was married last night AZ :
o'clock to Miss Mary Reilley of Chi
cago, the ceremony being performed
at All Saints church by Rev. Father
Barrett
Justice Flynn had announced to his
friends that he would be married at
the church at o'clock and asked all
his friends 10 be present, but here is
where the judge fooled them all.
Instead Of going to the church at 7
he went at o'clock sharp and had the
marriage rites performed and was
away before the guests had arrived 70
witness the ceremony.
When the guests and friends arrived
they We're informed that everything
was over and that the wiley Judge had
departed. When it dawned upon the
party of nearly seventy-five that they
hade been outwitted they wended their
way back to the village where they
caught the bride and groom at their
home in Plummer avenue. and all sat
down TO nice luncheon that had been
hastily prepared.
Since it became known that the cou-
pie had secured license, Mr. Flynn
has been kept busy telling people
when lit" was coming off. and strange
TO say hardly two persons ever received
the same answer.

names of Lowell taxpayers remonstra-

presented the board and, this it is said
influenced the two men to change their

1t was shown to the council that the
appropriation could be passed without
issuing a danar's worth of bonds. and
a tax levy of 2-10 of mill on the dol

remodeling the court house.
Whether this will end the matter
or whether the council will be called
again to devise means of providing
means of relieving the congested con-
dltlon in the court house is as yet un-
decided If the matter is allowed to
drop, the county business will neces-
satrly suffer as 1t cannot be handled

Steamers Still Running

Contrary to reports that had been
circulated through the city yesterday
to the effect that the steamer Flyer of
the White Star Navigation company,
was fast in the ice at Ferrell's land
ing, that boat steamed up to the Elec-
trio dock at three o'clock, just one
hour late. Captain Rey noIds, of the
Steamer Boneta of the same company,
stated that the boat had not been
stuck and that she was able to reach
the hes d of navigation on the st. Joe
river with but little trouble. The
thickness of the ice impedes the pro
gress of all the craft. The steamer
Boneta will remain at the docks until
the channels are opened or the ice
moves out, hut the Flyer will continue
her regular run.
