QUICK WIT SAVES LIVES
Sheriff Carter's Warning
Prevents Serious Disas-
ter at Crossing.

Scores of grateful eyes were turned
upon Sheriff F. s Carter this afternoon
at > o'clock when through his timely
warning he in all probability saved the
lives of at least a few people who were
ignorantly trying to rush TO their de-
struction It the Michigan Central cross
ing on Holman street Sheriff Carter
was going north on Holman street and
like number Of other pedestrians were
stopped at the crossing by a west bound
freight. 1t just happened that the ca
boose cleared the west end of the cross
ing as the engine of the east bound
passenger train due in Hammond at 154
p. m. struck the west side OF the cross
ing.
1t was at this critical moment that
Mr.. Carter did some fast thinking. He
saw the danger first and while others
drew back for their own protection he
stepped up closer TO the track in order
to warn the pedestrians on the other
side Of the track as soon as the caboose
should have cleared. No sooner had il
passed when as Mr.. Carter expected
more than a score of people. impatient
at the delay. stepped forward TO cross.
The sherif shouted and waved TO them
and in astonishment they stood there
watching him instead of progressing.
II was their salvation for in the mean
time they noticed the oncoming passen-
ser.

COST WILL Be 100000;
FRONTAGE OF $50 FEET
Growth of Calumet Region Makes
- xssent Quarters Inadequate-In-
stitution Being Crowded to It's Ca
pacity Most of the Time-Rich
Man Makes Donation.

Owing to the remarkable increase
of cases at st. Margaret's Hospital,
Clinton street. during the past two
years. the sisters of st. Francis, who
are in charge of the hospital, have
decided to build a new structure which
will be nearly twice as large as the
present institution. The new building
viii be built with a frontage on
Douglas street, on the property owned
by the institution, in the rear of the
present hospital.
Since the establishment of ST. Marga-
ret's hospital, the Calumet region and
Northern Indiana have grown to such
an extent that the present building
has proved inadequate. The hospital
receives accident cases from the entire
district besides hundreds of other pa
tients. At the present time the in
stitution's capacity is taxed, and since
the first of the year, over 300 cases
have been taken care of. The major
ity of the cases have been handled free
of charge by the sisters as the un-
fortunates were poor people and could
not afford to pay anything.
The new building will have front
age OF nearly $50 feet and will cost
in the neighborhood of 500. 900. IT
VIII be AtIed with the latest devices
and appliances for the conducting OF
the work and the wards will be made
roomy and will be supplied with heat
ing and airing devices of the latest
design. The present building will be
used as a contagious ward and will be
entirely separated from the new insti-
tuition.
The sisters will be dependent on the
congregation of the st. Joseph's churcI
and what they can raise on the outside
for the greater part of the funds fol
the building of the new hospital. A
wealthy resident of Hammond, whose
name is not at present to be made
publt;. has donated a large sum fol
the work and the plans are being made
and the work Will be started mex

George Hager of Hegewisch
Roughly Handled by
Railroad Men.

Found wandering about the tracks in
the Erie freight yard almost in dying
condition, George Hager Hegewisch was
picked up by a special officer of the
railroad and several freight hands and
brought to the local police station
last night. After being subjected TO g
ride on a hand car and bumped heavily
over switches and pavements the mans
chances for recovery were not greatly
aided.
Hager was thought to be suffering
from delirium tremens, but after an eX-
animation by physician it was thought
the man was a victim of some kind o:
drug. He could not even give his name
to the officer at the police station when
first brought in, but later recovered
enough to reveal his identity. This
morning he had recovered sufficiently
to be taken to his home in the care of a
friend.
Several people who witnessed the ac-
tion of the railroad people in transport
ing the man to the depot. expressed
their Indignation at the rough usage
the man received. They claim that in
stead of sending for an ambulance to
transport the man in the right way to
Hammond. he was thrown upon hand
car and pushed along the tracks, bounc-
ing over the switches and being other
wise i'll treated When the end of the
hand car route was reached the vehicle
was lifted from the tracks and bounced
along the pavement while the unfortu-
nate man suffered untold agonies.
Just how the man came to be in the
condition in which he was found is un-
known. When searched at the police
station valuable plans and specifications
of new invention We're found in mis-
pockets. It is thought that these plans
may have had something to do with the
administering of the drug. He was
nearly unconscious when found and il
was regarded as a miracle that he did
not lose his life by being run over bv a
train while wandering about the tracks

GOOD AUGUST BUSINESS
Monon Books Show In
crease in Local Sales of
Tickets to Chicago.

An Indication that is encouraging to
the growth of Hammond as we'll as to
one Of the railroads that passes through
it, the Monon road is the sale of single
ride tickets to Chicago for the month
of August of this year. as compared
with the returns of August last year.
For the year ending Aug. 81, finan-
cial gain of s72S.30 has been made on
the passenger traffic over last year. In
August of last year the single ride
tickets to Chicago amounted to only
sixty-five while this year in August
in this years month in the number of
mileage tickets sold, the total for last
years August being eighty-one while
this year in August they amount to
only thirty-five sales.
Captain Downing, the local agent,
accounts for the fourishing condition
of the single ride sales in the fact that
the population OF Hammond has grown
decidedly, and that the people of Ham
mond are getting more and more into
the habit of travelling. There also re-
mains the interesting fact that Ham
mond people have Travelled more on the
two-cent rate. and that the company
is showing larger financial gains.
The Monon ten ride tickets TO Chi
cago ar $3.50, arrived on Thursday,
and are now on sale. The two ride
tickets for two people going TO Chi
cago or one person making both trips
at afty cents, will be issued as soon
as the company can made arrange
ments with the interstate commerce
commission.

WILL NOT SIGN
UNIVERSITY BONDS
Governor Hanly is Obdu-
rate in Matter of Vim
cennes Paper.
.RUMOR ALL BUT CONFIRMED
Position Is That it Would Be Uncon-
stitutional for Him to Sane
ton Issue.
Especial to Lake County Tames.) }

Indianapolis, Sept Tt is definitely
understood that the governor will re-
fuse to sign the VinceDnes University
bonds, when they are presented to him
for signature. Last week, the rumor
was well authenticated, but the gov
ernor was not in the city. so It. could
not be verified. Today. again %tlaa
rumor came flying around the State
house, and while the governor would
not say what he would do-wolld not
discuss the matter at all-yet tho very
definite impression that he gave was
that he would not sign the bonds.
Private information OF undoubted
authenticity points to the same end.
There is practically no question as to
his intention. They may never be
presented to him at all, so sure are
the friends of the university that he
viii not sign.
His position, according to his friends
is that the bonds are unconstitutional.
and that he is just saving trouble by
refusing TO sign them. He is reported
to, have said that if they were issued.
any citizen of the State could prevent
their payment by Injunction. and his
refusal to sign will prevent all this
trouble. 1t is not thought probable
that any effort will be made to com
pei the governor to sign the bonds.
It is underst stood that the governor
will practice law here in indianapolis
after his term of office expires. His
intention originally was to buy farm
near the city and live there, coming to
the city by interurban. Now he has
given this up. however. and will prob
ably purchase property right in the
city.
He will probably form some partner
ship here. rather than go alone. He
has discussed his detailed plans with
no one. so far as can be ascertained
but in general the plan is as outlined
asaYe.

to locate any such a dugout as was

as the case demanded. and that he Will
