During the day few more depos-

hand and they were all paid. It was
not long before these foreigners saw
that they had made a mistake and the
run was stopped early in the after
noon.

Business men are discussing a new

one Of the business men in town
speaking of the possibilities of the
five-story business block. said this

1T is just what State street needs
and it must surely come from one
source or another, for State street is
going to be the street of the town. II
took 1t a long time to come into its
own. but it is beginning to gain due
recognition"
The progress of State street is prob
ably judged more accurately by out
of town business men who visit Ham

been steady and with each month &

West Hammond dump"
Habitues Clean Up a
Few Saloons.
ONE IS BADLY INJURED
Frenzied Mob, Victims of Joke
Hurl Cuspidors and Do
Much Damage

There was another wild and Disgrace
full saloon brawI in West Hammond last
night in which windows and mirrors
were broken, several persons injured
and the police compelled to interfere.
1t seems that some OF the inmates OF
Harrington's and Con Taltie's resort
have been holding up the patrons OF
the place and considered it joke.
The victims. however. did not look at It
IN quite this light and several of them
went over to clean out the dump.
The old trick was worked on one OF
them and the rest started to do the
cleaning out act. Cuspidors ana bot
ties We're thrown through the windows
and doors and It was not long before
the soloons were both in q badly
wrecked condition.
One young man, Billy Schneider, had
his head cut open and it is said that
there was half a dozen others who had
their cranlums cracked In the melee,
According TO the stories Of eye wit
nesses a negro battl- royal would not
be in 1t with the rumpus that was raised
in these two saloons last night and yet
when one OF the saloon keepers was
called up over tho phone and asked
regarding the brawl he said. ''Oh there
was nothing out OF the ordinary hap
lpened, just q few fellows got beaten
up-that's alr' When asked If it was
not true that it was necessary to call
a physician to attend one Of the victims
of the rumpus the saloon keeper said,
i"Oh yes, one fellow had his head cut
open but that is just a little thing.
There wasn't any body killed"
And then he added, You had better
keep that stuff out of the newspapers
You know those indictments have been
filed against rs and If you start ar
agitation about this its likely to cosi
us some money"
A reporter visited the Vestibule this
afternoon but found that things had
been quickly restored to their normal
appearance and OF course every one
denied that there had been anything
out of the ordinary.
