HAMMOND PEOPLE
IN 4 BAD WRECK
G. & E. 7. Passenger Train
Runs Through Lake
Shore Suburban.

There was bad wreck in the vicin-
ity of Grand Crossing on the Lake
Shore suburban train which left here
at sic p. m, last evening in which a
great many Hammond people had q
narrow escape from death.
While the Lake Shore suburban
train was crossing the tracks of the
Chicago and Eastern Illinois at Grand
Crossing a c. & E. I. passenger train
ras through the local train and caused
considerable damage.
Two cars were badly smashed up
and nearly every window in the whole
train was broken. Among the Ham
mond passengers in the train were
Miss Nellie Lynch, Mr.. and Mrs Will
lam O'Brian and daughter and Mrs.
Marcus Johnson.
AS soon as the crash came there was
a panic among the passengers. 1t was
dark outside and in the darkness there
was the greatest confusion. Women
made a rush for the doors of the car
croWding past some of the men who at
tempted to keep them quiet
They forced themselves out of the
car, however, and We're soon in places
Of safety. Some of them continued the
trip by street car and others took
trains to their destinations.
1t is not known what the cause OF
the accident was. 1t is presumed, how
ever. that there was some mistake in
the signals and that both trains were
admitted TO the crossing at the same
time.
1t required some time to clear the
crossing and it is remarkable that
there were no fatalities or serious in
juries among the. passengers on the
train

fatigued. and with their khaki and
linen busters. their goggles and trim

the spectator they seemed to enjoy the

yards. was called to answer charge of
wife desertiou, preferred by a slim lit
tie woman whose name before she be-
came Mrs. Herman was Edna Pearl.
Mrs. Herman says she is 10 years old
but she does not look it. Herman says
he is 10, too. and he does not look it
either.
According to the story Herman and
Edna Pearl became man and wife. in
formal way. three months ago. They
had been related TO each other in an
informal way for nearly three years be-
fore the wedding or from the time they
were sixteen.
Shortly after the marriage Herman
went away and left no trace of him
self. lie was finally located at Glib
son and efforts were made to induce
him to return to his wife allow her
to go to him. He was deaf to all en-
treaties. declaring all was over between
him and Edna.
His Salary Tied Up.
He was finally reached through the
unromahtic -sacess of garnishment.
His heart wa out his wages were
not so invulnerable. lie needed the
money more than he needed his wife.
When his monthly stipend was tied
up he came into court.
There will be $65 coming to Herman
when he can secure a release of same.
He would part with the companion of
his youth and tender manhood not only
without struggle but gladly-but the
| s65-well, that's indispensable, and with
every fibre of his being, as Governor
f1anIy would say, he means to protect
that.
1t probably is the last $65 that vii

source for when his present employers
came into possession of the sordid facts

The pair met in Judge Prests cour

Bad Roads Encountered.


The roads from South Bend to Ham
NJ al were not in very good condition
and the rain had left Ions muddy
stretches. AS they approached Ham
mond, however, the conditions were
improved, and along Calumet avenue
and Sibley streets the dust arose in
clouds. The contestants aud the ma
chimes were soon coated but it seem
ed to make but little difference. as
they smiled and waved their hands
to the crowds along the street.
The only accident that occurred
while the machines were passing
through Hammond came when car IA
came down Sibley street shortly after
l o'clock in turning the corner the
car skidded and the tire on the left
front wheel was displaced and burst.
The operator was en- the alert and i'm
mediately applied the emergency brake.
The other occupants We're on the
ground in an instant and out came
the emergency tools. the huge extra
tire carried on the rear was hastily
unstrapped, and the car front lacked
up. Working like beavers. the men
soon had the new tire in place, but
once more they were up against it
1t was found TO be faulty and another
one had TO be quickly replaced. This
was done and without losing any great
amount of time, the car was again on
its way.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1907-07-12

The first car came along at IL clock.
1t was the big Pierce Arrow, the path
finder, and the work of spreading con-
fett along the thoroughfares which
were to make up the route of the con-
testants, was being done. The men on
board the pathfinder threw long
streamers of white paper together with
showers of smaller cut, at each cor
ner and at places where intersecting-
roads might confuse. 1t was all done
in a minute as the big car spead along
over the road Shortly afterwards the
cars containing the officials, Mr.. Glid-
den and Frank B. Hover, followed close
upon the heels Of the pathfinder. They
stopped for breakfast at a hostelry be-
tween Hammond and Chicago and some
of the first cars in the regular line
caught up with them.
The first contestants car TO arrive in
Hammond, turned the corner of Sibley
and Holman street about 11:15. The
car was a big six cylinder Packard
and was in charge of Gus Busse OF
Buffalo and was entered from the Buff
alo club
Mr.. Busse and party were accompani-
ed by several machines acting as CON
sorts and no sooner had they turned
the corner of the streets than they
Strengthened out for the last run into
Chicago. Mr. Busse held his lead into
Chicago and arrived at the Auditorium
Annex first of all. After about fifteen
minutes time the second contestant
pulled down the street and from that
time until nearly 1 o'clock they ar
rived in punches and singly, sometimes
five and ten minutes apart.
