A SHAMEFUL BIT
OF W0ULD-BE HUMOR
Hammond Lady Gets a Bad
Shock Over Long Dis
tance Phone.

Somebody with a perverted and GRIM
inal sense of humor last Saturday af-
ternoon called up Mrs. E. B. Rogers.
211 Forsyth avenue, West Hammond.
Rogers, had been killed Saturday noon
in a railroad accident in Chicago. Mrs.
Rogers was prostrated by the news,
which came over long distance tele-
phone from Chicago. and it was in
that condition that her husband found
her yesterday afternoon when he walk
ed into his home live and a well
man.
Husband Had Gone Away.
Rogers, having been out of work in
Hammond, told his wife that he would
go to Chicago or possibly farther west
to find employment. He left his home
in West Hammond on Friday evening
and Saturday noon the message came
to the Rogers home to the effect that
her husband had been killed and that
she should notify the local union OF
engineers and firemen. of which he was
a member, in order that its represen-
tatives would take care of the body.
Mrs. Rogers was so upset by the
news that she failed to get the ad-
dress of where the body lay. but the
union was notified and representative
was sent to Chicago to make the
rounds of the morgues.
Confirmed In Chicago Papers.
The story was confirmed in the minds
Of the Hammond people when they read
an account in a Chicago paper yester.
day morning to the effect that an un.
known man had been found along the
railroad tracks on the outskirts of the
city, and that he had been crushed
to an unrecognizable mass.
Mrs. Rogers, the young wife, was or
the verge of nervous prostration and
she did not expect to see her husband
alive again.
The sight of him yesterday brough
on a reaction in her nervous condition
until today 1t is necessary that she /,
placed in the care Of friends.
