cussion when he referred TO the indus
trial conditions which have 'necessitat-
ed the city to go down into it's pockets
to employ Incompetent help on the
street for the sake Of giving the tax
payers something to do. Mayor Becker
wanted to know whether the admins
tration should continue TO have such
a debt charged against il or not when
Councilman Schroeder suggested that
some of the idle men be put to work
on private property to clean 1t Of I'M
derbrush. Mayor Becker said it was
hardly fair to nonresident proper
tY owners that after they had cheer
fully contributed thousands of dollars
for street and sewer improvements that
the city take it upon itself to go into
their private pockets to cut the under
brush. That he said was discouraging
property owners. Councilman Schroet-
er on the other hand argued that these
same property owners refused to sell
any Of their real estate for a reason
able price. The discussion closed when
Councilman John Kane in his custo-
mary manner made a motion that the
council adjourn.
Other ordinances being in prepara-
ton which the mayor wishes to get
into the printers hands the council
will hold a postponed session next
Tuesday evening.

TAILOR SHOP WAS
ROBBED LAST NIGHT
Barrelli Establishment on
South Holman Street En-
tered by Thieves.
TAKE OLD CLOTHES; LEAVE NEW
Singular Fact Comes to Light Anent
the Robbery at Grifin's Resi-
dence Recently.

The busy thief got in his work in
good shape again in Hammond last
night
Entrance was effected to the Barelli
and Morelli tailoring establishment at
245 South Holman street and Goth, suits
and suitings were stolen with reckless
and delightful abandon.
The robbery of the taflor-shop was
reported to the police department about
o'clock this morning by one of the
proprietors of the establishment, as he
came to open up the store for the day.
Got In Through Rear Door.
The thief or thieves used the back
door of the building as a means Of
egress. The door was hacked with
knife. evidently to cut out a panel.
but the cutting instrument must have
been very duh because the depredators
gave up the attempt. They next turned
their attention to the glass in the
window and succeeded in cutting a pane
of 1t out and efecting an entrance.
Afraid of the Light.
Bolts of cloth suits brought there for
number of other things of less value
was the loot. There were a number Of
va ua BILE suits of clothes in the window
which were not touched. The police
believe that the thieves We're afraid to
venture into the light which streamed
through the front windows OF the store
lest they should be detected The po-
lice have no clew to the thieves.
Policeman Failed IN Renort
In connection with the Griffin rob
berry which took pace the other night
a rather singular instance of neglect
on the part of officer of the law
came to light. 1t seems that the milk
! dealer who leaves milk at the Griffin
| home a. a. m. saw the cellar door open
through which the thief had got in, and
seeing Policeman Frenck soon after.
! told him that the cellar door of the
! residence was wide open. Frenck made
no report of the affair at the police sta
tion at all until later in the day And
there is considerable curiosity on the
part of those interested in the affair
as to the cause of the negect of duty.

SAYS HUSBAND USES
TOO MANY CUSS WORDS.

w. Fl. Sickman. Hammond's famous
divorce attorney. has filed another of
his famous cases. The case is Nellie
Kingery VS.. Grover c. Kingery and
the plaintiff alleges that her husband is
guilty of cruel and inhuman treatment.
one of the allegations is that Grover
Cleveland Kingery called his wife all
of the vile names in the swearing and
cursing vocabulary. The complaint goes
on to enumerate all that an ordinary
person with a mining camp or sea-
going experience could think of, and
then alleges that there was stfTl others
that are too vile for the ear of the
court.
The paintif believes this to be suf-
fcient cause for an unlimited divorce.
