Ask Local Police for News.

The Chicago police called upon the
Hammond department to identify a
watch which Chicago crook tried
pawn in a shop in the city. The local
police took it for granted that it be-
longed to Sam Friedman, who is the
only person who has lost a watch in
Hammond recently, and reported it to
the police.
Captain Bundle went to Chicago with
Friedman was unable to identify the
if it belonged to the Hammond peddler.
Friedman was unable identify the
watch and he did not know the man
who was held for attempting to pawn
it.
The police then went through their
records and found that Charles Sc
graves, an employee on the Chicago. In
diana & Southern railroad. had lost a
watch in Chicago and had notified the
Chicago police.
He left the number of the watch and
it corresponded with the number which
was on the case of the one the Chicago
crook tried to pawn. Friedman was
sent back to Hammond and Charles
Segraves was notified to come to Chi
cad as soon as he gets in from his
run and identify the watch.
If Segraves had notified the Ham
mond police at the time he notified the
Chicago officers all of the trouble and
delay would have been avoided. They
would then have known that it was
Segraves and not Friedman's watch
which nd been recovered by the of
hcers and it would have been an easy
| matter to have had the watch iden-
tilted.
