TEAM BEHAVES BADLY
Firemen Have a Lot of
Trouble With a Pair of
Balky Horses. !

Unless the board of public works
provides a new truck team for the
Central fire station, Hammond will
some day have a serious fire due main
ly because the department did not ar
rive in time.
People who live on Williams street
had occasion this morning, to see that
the big bay team is detriment to the
department, endangering the city, and
rejecting discredit on the department
Fire broke out this noon in the home
of H. C. Petrie, IA Williams street, near
the State Line. Fortunately the fire
was small and was put out before the
department could arrive.
The truck team instead of rushing
out of the station stamped and paved
about showing every sign that they
were about to balk. When they came
to Williams street and struck the sand
they would move no further. This is
not by any means the first time that
the team has behaved in this manner,
serious consequences have been missed
because the fires were inconsequentiaL

W. G. PAXTON MAY BUILD
Considering the Erection OF
a Three Story Depart
ment Store.

The two department stores of Ham
mond may have a competitor Of their
own size before another year passes by,
If w. G. Paxton, of the Paxton Lumber
Company and a prospective tenant that
he has, can come to terms.
In addition to the erection and loca-
ton of a department store would mean
another big boost on State street as
the store would be located on the Pax
ton fifty-foot lot east of the Minas De-
partment store.
Should Mr.. Paxton and his prospect
i'd tenant arrive at some agreement, a
three story building would go up hav-
ing a fifty-foot frontage.
State street is bound to go up with a
jump, the prediction not only of State
street property owners, but of all peo-
pie who read the signs of the times in
Hammond.
Mr.. Paxton is prepared for the occa-
sion and any time he finds a pros
pective tenant he will build. The mar
who is now dealing with him, would
consider a lease for five years.
