Three Mining Men on Jury That -
cides Cyanide Case.

Appealing from a conviction in the
justice court at Deadwood, l.. ID. Cuck-
Ter, foreman at the Safe Investment
creek, was tried In the circuit court
and found guilty of sluicing the cyan

sharply the issue whether the fish in
the streams are of more consequence
to the country than a mining company,
and a conviction resulted even with
three mining men on the jury.

CLUB HOLDS SESSION
West Hammond is Out AT
ter More Street Improve
ment These Days.

West Hammond is out for more street
improvements and its commercial club
is fathering the movement. At a meet
ing held last Wednesday night in the
kinkade building the paving of One
Hundred and Fifty second street and
One Hundred and Fifty fourth street
was brought up for discussion. The
majority of the club members think
that 1t is time that these thoroughfares
should be paved They want another
east and west street besides States
street to be improved and say that
One Hundred and Fifty second street
would be the right place to connect
West Hammond with Hammond, since
the proposed connect with Rimbach
avenue in Hammond
The discussion about the lights for
the streets may result in getting a bet
ter lighting system. The light problem
is a serious one in West Hammond, es-
pecially now that its business men have
gotten together for the Improvement

/ The meeting last Wednesday night
was we'll attended. The committees on
membership are still working for an
increase of membership and the indus

too. Despite the depressed conditions
in the industrial world, this committee
is well satisfied with the results that
have been obtained since it got busy

some heating apparatus. 1t is a wrong
guess every time, as the pupils and
patrons will find out once the thing is

The mode of operating the fire es-
cape is much like operating a sausage
machine. with the exception that the
boys and girls who are fed in at the
top come out alive and whole down
below. The fire escape is without
steps. 1t is a spiral slide encased in
a huge tube At each story there is
an opening leading into the chute The
chute is so made that clothes cannot
be torn or the children injured. The
best part of ii all is that the chute
