San Francisco, Cal, March 28,-
Magdalena Bay, where the great fleet

huge, fierce man-eating sharks.

TEACHERS TO RETURN

Last Monday was the last day open
Tor the teachers TO sign contracts for
the ensuing year. 1t is understood that
out of the rs teachers who are now
employed in Hammond, all but 10 have
slgnified their desire to return next
year by signing the contract.
In previous years there have been as
high as 80 to 40 teachers who have
failed to return. This year, however,
the number has been materially re-
duced and Superintendent Mcdaniel is
Wen pleased with the prospects
The number of teachers will be in
ereasing to 80 next year and so there
VIII be in the neighborhood of Is va
eancles to fill. Of the ten teachers who
VIII not return it is understood that
two or three will be stopped by cupid.
1t is believed that the general in
crease in salaries. accounts for the fact
that the teachers are not searching for
greener fields and Hammond is not los
ing its valuable teachers to other CT
ties which are paying higher salaries
From present indications the teach
ing force will not be materially chang
&c and in nine tenths of the rooms the
students will face the same school
marin next year.

GRANGER-AHLBORN CASE
IS NOLLE PRESSED TODAY

The case of II. r. Granger, the Ham
mond representative of the Carpenters
union, who was arrested in West Ham
mond yesterday for an alleged assault
on the person of Henry Ahlborn be-
cause Ahlborn did not use union car
penters for the purpose of tearing out
some planking around concrete work
was to have ben tried in Judge Hunters
court in Burnham this afternoon. but
the case was nolle pressed when the
parties finally reached an understand
ing out of court
The trouble arose over some work
that was being done on the residence
of Charles Spichert in West Hammond.
Henry Ahlborn had the contract for
the cement work and when the cement
had set he proceeded to tear out the
planking himself contrary to the rules
and regulations of the Carpenters IN
ion.
H. f. Granger one of the officials of
the union, happened around and OBJ
Jected to the work that Ahlborn was
doing. Ahlborn ridiculed and the idea
OF taking carpenter from his work
to do a little job like that and trouble
was started which finally lead to an
assault by Mr.. Granger on the person
of Mr.. Ahlborn.
Ahlborn at once swore out a warrant
for Changers arrest and it was served
before Granger could get over the state
line.
Granger was placed in Jail by officer
Barnie Johnson after several shots had
been fired after him in an effort to
compel him to halt. AS Justice Stacho-
vitz was serving on the aIac+ior koa7
II was necessary for Granger to re-
main In jail for some time. but he was
finally released on bail.
The settling of the case out of court
prevented the introduction Of the evil
dence OF numerous witnesses who saw
the night and those who had gone over
TO Burnham expecting to hear an in
teresting trial were disappointed.
