Seventy ninth street and Sherman
avenue. early this morning Orland was

he not been hailed by one of the fire
men.
Although he had walked more than
three blocks from his home he was
sound asleep with his eyes wide open
when he arrived at the station. He
was barefoot his feet being almost
frozen.
When he was awakened by one of
the firemen he looked about him with
q bewildered look and then asked where
he was. He could not understand how
he came to be in the fire station in the
garb that he was in.
He said that the last thing that he
remembered was going to bed and then
dreaming that he waded through a
stream of hot water.
Orland was almost frozen stif and
serious consequences may result from
the exposure. The fremen gladly gave
him some of their clothes and then
summoned a policeman who guided the

The Hammond high school basket
ball team was defeated last night by
the close score of 81 10 -. They were
not outplayed at any stage OF the game
but their losing the contest can be
attributed to the fact that the Ham

the goals on foul throws. Ebert OF
Hammond threw the greatest number
of goals. At the end Of the first half

officials of the Government refuse
to deny that he was an agent. Rail-
way officers declare he was a Gov
ernment agent and that there were
two of them employed by the pack
ing firm. The story is told that the
two spies were compelled to draw
their revolvers in order to make
their escape with the evidence.
1T is thought the Government has
grown tired of prying evidence out
OF corporations and in return giving
contract of immunity. In every
wrong act that has been uncovered
thus far by the departments of the
Government the evidence has been
given by one of the parties guilty of
the alleged crime.
"All railway officials interviewed
seemed to be convinced that Secret
Service agents were in their employ,
one official stating that he under

disclose anything willfully wrong on
the part of the railroads now"
