TO
MAKE IMPROVEMENT
P. J. Sherwin Says He Will
Do All He Can to I'm
prove Property.
MANAGER SHERWIN IN TOWN
Hammond Business Mems Association
Jubilant Over Success of Their
Persuasive Ability.

P P. Sherwin. the general manager
of the Erie railroad. was in the city
today and granted practically every
thing that e. F. Johnston. the secre-
tary of the Hammond Business Mems
association, asked in the way of i'm
provements.
Sherwin seemed to be greatly con-
cerned over the fact that his road had
been given a grilling by THE TIMES for
not doing more to beautify the Ham
mond depot and its surroundings and
manifested a desire to do all that was
in his power for the improvement Of
the railroads property.
a new depot at the present time, &C
cording to Mr.. Sherwin, but in a few
weeks men will be sent to this city to
paint the depot and express office, and
this is expected to improve the appear
ance of the buildings considerably.
VIII Make Other improvements.
It was also decided to fill in the
sink hole in the rear of the depot with
cinders; in fact a roadway of cinders
will be laid all the way between State
street and Sibley street.
The rest of the right OF way in the
center of the city is to be filed in
with dirt and will possibly be sown
with grass seed later on. E. F. Johns
tn of the Hammond Business Mems
association was very much pleased
with Sherwin's trip and believes that
a big step has been taken toward the
beautifyng of the heart of Hammond.
1t Is expected that the cinders will
be hauled for the roadway and the
dirt for the right of way within the
present week. One change which has
been positively decided upon is that
hereafter the owners of express wa
gons will have to find another stand
Mr. Sherwin says that they are oc-
cupying private property and that
they have no business there. He will
force them to get out just as soon as
the premises of the depot are i'm
| proved.

Friends of Lad VIII Try and Get Him
Carnegie Medal and He Is Made
a Hero of By His Friends and

He Resides.

One OF the bravest deeds ever dona
In this part of the state may he placea
to the credit of Arthur schwenke. "a
Hammond lad who was Responsible
yesterday for saving the life of one lad
and perhaps the lives of two Others.
The young hero is Arthur schwenke.

The heroic act of the lad has mads
him the observed of all observers in
Hammond and East Chicago and In the
vicinity of his home between the two
places. But he didn't like the fame
and notoriety of little bit. Young
Schwenke was fishing from the bank
of the Calumet river yesterday after
noon near the chemical works when
boat containing three occupants. two
men and boy. rowed between the mid
stream and the bank on which the
young fisherman sat
ALL FALL IN STREAM.
! The lad in the boat while bending
over the side of the cockleshell vessel
leaned over too far and suddenly fell
overheard and before Schwenke could
realize what had happened, the boat
and all its occupants capsized and the
three were struggling in the stream.
In endeavoring to reach for the lad
who fell overheard, the two men had
rocked the boat so violently that they
fell out of it
NONE OF PARTY COULD SWIM
The men did not appear able to swim
and young Schwenke saw that the boy
fioundering in the water was going to
lose his life if something was not done
and done in hurry. So he waded into
the river and swan out to where the
boy had gone down for the last time.
He reached the spot in the nick of time
and as the little fellow came up. he
seized him by his hair and told him to
keep quiet
HELPS MEN AFTERWARD.
| Schwenke then told the men to turn
the boat over and get in it and he
would swim ashore with the boy which
he bravely did. None Of the party
was any the worse off for his dan
gerous bath in the river with the ex-
ception of the lad who was nearly
drowned Young Schwenke did not
ask the names of the boats occupants
and they were foreigners, according to
his description.
WANT CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR HIM.
They rowed to the bank. baiIed out
their boat, took the boy with them and
rowed away. Schwenke, the hero. went
home and never said a word about res
cuing the lives of three. He said he
had fallen in the river Ut there were
others who had seen the brave act
and told Schwenke's father of the deed.
Some of the young mans friends will
get in touch with the Carnegie Medal
commission and see If the young man
cannot be awarded a medal. The boy

terrible vengence in number of cases,
the most notable of which was the
residence of F. C. Deming, 7So South
Holman street.
Here one fork of lightning struck
large chimney and shattered the top
stone which was shaped as a hollow
square and descended to the CRATE be-
low. while another fork ripped off a
piece of tile roofing ten feet square.
Occupants in Danger.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Deming were in
the house at the time. When the storm
came up Mr. Deming went upstairs to
close the windows and Mrs. Deming
went into the library. In this manner
it happened that neither of these well
known Hammond people were in the
danger zone when the lightning struck
the house One of the daughters of
Mr.. and Mrs Deming was in Frank
fort, while the other was in bed up
stairs
The crash of the lightning was so
loud that every one in the vicinity was
deafened for the time. Homewood peo =
pie knew the bolt had struck some
where around. The room in which the
CRATE was located was SO filled with
dust that it was hardly possible to see
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Deming were bad

The roof of the Deming house rise,
in a pyramid and 1t was found In the
morning that the tile had been ripped
/ off from all four sides The Creates
damage, however, was on the south side
OF the roof where a patch of tile ter
/ feet square had been ripped off.
The damage was all covered by in
surance as Mr.. Deming has taken ou

the work of making the repairs wa
begun the first thing this morning.
There were several other reports o
slight damage done by the storm. II
