700 WANT THESE JOBS
Chicago, Lake Shore and
South Bend Interurban
Flooded With Petitions.

There were 700 applications for the
jobs which will be available when the
Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend
interurban line is in full operation.
The applications were received at
Michigan City. the operating head
quarters of the line.
The applications were for the posi-
tions of motormen, conductor, shop en-
ployes. electricians and common labor
ers. OF course, only a small number
of these applicants will be given posi-
tions, but the number which are en-
ployed will be great enough to be
equal to the locating of Il small in
dustry in this region.
The fact that there were so many
applications, however, is an indication
of the large number of unemploye ed
which are still in this locality, notwith-
standing the fact that a great many
of the factories have taken on more
men and the industrial situation is said
to be greatly improved.

Their Campaign Here
With Much Activity.

The republican headquarters were
formally opened in the rooms on the
second floor OF the Commercial bank
building. at the corner of State and
Holman streets this morning.
They presented scene of great ac-
tivity. Richard Schaaf. jr. the county
chairman. was busy talking over the
telephone; County Secretary Fred
Crumpacker was debating a letter to
the stenographer.
Attorney SchottIer. one of Schaafs
first lieutenants, was reading over
some correspondence, and there were
several people in the headquarters
waiting for chance to interview the
officers of the county organization.
The walls have been decorated with
pictures of all of the candidates. There
is fine picture of Representative
James E. Watson. the candidate for
governor. and of the junior senator.
Hemenway, and the senior senator.
Beveridge
Bunting is being put up around the
walls and the headquarters now pre-
sent an attractive appearance. The
furniture which has been put in is at
tractive. and the republicans challenge
the party in other cities of the size
of Hammond to show more attractive
headquarters.

Young McColley has been in the
habit of leading a COW home from the
Joe Berg pasture, east of town. and
last evening about six o'clock went to
perform his customary duty. Tether-
ing the animal with a long rope which
he carried for the purpose, the lad
wound the other end around his waist
tying it in a slip-knot. The COW noted
for being a wild creature started to
run. although no one witnessed this
pert of the tragedy, but there were
mute evidences of the fact that the
young lad had been dragged a long
distance.
Fence Spattered with Blood.
A wire fence with the remains of the
little boys chothes. a fence post be-
spattered with blood and the body cut
and bruised by being dragged along
the stone roads were all that was need
to substantiate that theory. The acci-
dent happened near the Horst farm on
