THEY LIKE THE PAVEMENT I
South Holman Street AS
phalt Makes a Hit with
Property Owners.

The progress of the paving on South
Holman street is now very satisfac-
tory. The work has progressed to a
point past Waltham street and it is
believed that the asphalt part will be
completed in ten days, If the weather
remains good.
1t is said that the only kind OF
weather which interferes with laying
of the composition asphalt is wet or
snowy weather. The greatest trouble
is now in securing the bull-nosed
brick to be laid in the center of the
street car tracks
The company which manufacture
this kind of brick are out of them and
it will be necessary for them to make
more of them before the McGovern
company can complete the job
The residents Of the south side seem
very well pleased with the new pave
ment and say that they are more than
pleased to know that the street will be
paved before spring and they will not
have to put up with wet muddy roads
then.

AUGUST SCHNEIDER
HELD Up LAST NIGHT
Popular Hammond Man
Meets With Unusual
Experience.

August Schneider, draughtsrnan at
the Standard Steer Car works, returned
to his desk this morning somewhat
nervous. He had an experience with a
holdup last night which, had 1t NOT
been for Mr.. Schneider's strong arm and
swift legs, might have proved disas-
trous TO him.
He was ssheId up.
Mr. Schneider was on his way home
last night, and while walking on Hoh-
man street, south of Harrison park, a
big burly figure of man stepped In
his path from behind a pile of brick
and demanded that Mr.. Schneider dig
up.
What He Thought He Said.
Mr. Schneider understood him to say
dig out" and proceeded to do so, when
his assailant caught him by the arm
Thus entrapped, Mr.. Schneider put up a
fight which might have put the high
wayman out of business had it lasted
long enough A last vicious swing
from the strong right arm of the
draughtsman sent the big fellow into
the street. and Schneider, still remem-
bering that the fellow had said some
thing about dig" dug.
He Had to BE Joshed.
He reached home safely and except
ing little nervousness was none the
worse for his experience this morning
although he had to submit to a good
deal of .'joshing" at the hands of his
comrades at the plant.
Mr. Schneider, as rule, doesn't
mind being "held up by a lady. but he
hates to have a mere man hold him up
