FIERCE STORM
SWEEPS REGION
Northeaster Fastens Cities
of Calumet District
in Grasp.
OUTDOOR WORK IS SUSPENDED
No Prospect in Sight for Fair
Spring Weather, Says
the Ice Man.
WEATHER FOR FRIDAY.
Partly cloudy tonight with
possibly light frost. Northeast
winds. Continued cool.
s~~~%~~~~~~~~~~~<

Wrapped in sheets of flying rain that
cut like knives, the Calumet region
lay PROSTATE today at. the mercy Of a
savage northeaster.
1t is surprising that the Flying
Rollers, or some other religious fanat-
les do not begin the building of an
ark to save the unbelieving many in
Hammond and sister cities from the
forty days and forty nights down
pour of rain.
Fierce Weather For May.
Ever since the news OF the disaster
caused by hurricanes in the south was
published broadcast over the land, the
weather has been stormy. 1t has
rained almost continually and at times
the winds have been so high that con-
siderable damage has been done.
The weather man promises bad
weather for tomorrow but the people
of this locality have come to regard
the prophesies Of the head of the me-
neurological department in Chicago as
of rather doubtful reliability
The prospects are that stormy
weather will continue today indefinite
~, if the weather eye counts for any
thing, and it will be some time before
the people of Hammond and the Calu-
met region will not get another sight
of old Sol.
Farmers and fruit men are on the
anxious seat lest a heavy frost follow
the rain.
| Spring Floods and Freshets.
| There has been a heavier precipita-
ton so far this year than at this time
| last year and some of the Indiana
river cities are again experiencing
trouble with spring foods and freshets.
| So far there have been no serious
/ frosts and the rain is not believed to
have caused any damage to the crops.
The continued wet and cloudy weather
has prevented the cold from affecting
the vegetation and there are indica-
tions Of good crops.
Pedestrianism was almost impossible
| today and woe be to the unfortunate
| unfortunate member of the fair sex
| who had to venture out.
Great damage was done to wires all
over the region, the electric light wires
! suffering the worst.
Business out doors and building was
at a standstill and the wise man stayed
inside today.
