IS SOME MISTAKE
Rev. Switzer Discredits Re-
port About Brothers
Concealing Stocks.
HOLDINGS ARE OVERESTIMATEO
This Is His View Regarding Dis
patch That Lafayette Pastor Is
Evading Tax Laws.

Considerable interest was aroused IN
Hammond this morning when the Chi
cago papers gave out the statement
that the Rev George w. Switzer of
Lafayette. brother of the Rev. w. F.
switzer of Hammond, had failed to re-
turn for taxation, or assessment $780,
600 worth Of stocks held by himself
and wife.
Il do not know enough of my broth
er's affairs to make a statement for
him at this time, but ! think that his
holdings are over-estimated and there
may be other material facts which
would very likely controvert the story"
said Mr.. Switzer this morning.

TO THEATRE:
ON SUNDAY
Hammond a Frost for Week
Night Shows, Says Man
ager Emery Good Com
panies Won't Take Chance
on Empty House.


Hammond has bad reputation as
week night show town." said Manager
Roy c. Emery of Towle's opera House
today, "and that is the reason why we
find it difficult to book good show
on any night but Sunday"
The remark was prompted by the fact
that the Prince of Tonight. with Hen
ry Woodruff of the original cast which
played at the Princess theater, Chicago,
will appear in Hammond.
This show is coming to Hammond
on Oct. 10 and will be one of the big
attractions of the year. The sugges-
tion was offered to Manager Emery
that it is TODD bad that some of these
good things cannot be booked in Ham
mond on week night
Mr.. Emery went on to say, The War
rens of Virginia. with Frank keenan,
and Charlotte Walker in the cast. came
to Hammond on a week night and the
house was a regular frost. Bertha
Calich in Cora" was another of the
high class attractions to which the peo-
pie. who are always calling for good
shows on week nights. turned a cold
shoulder. The gross receipts did not
pay the railroad fare of the company
to the next town.

Mr.. Emery maintains that Three
Weeks is a perfectly proper play, and
that it is one of the best things that
has come to Hammond in a long time

IS KICKED
IN Face.
MAY DIE
Louis Ludwig, Victim of
Vicious Horse, Has Been
Unconscious Since Last
Saturday-Chin and Jaw
Broken.
Especial to THE TIMEs.l

st. John, Ind, Sept. 30.-Louis Lud-
wig. a young former, living near Ce-
dar Lake is lying unconscious at his
home from the effects of being kicked
in the face by vicious horse. The
incident happened last Saturday, since
which time Ludwig's life has been
hanging by a thread.
Mr. Ludwig was putting up his horse
at the noon hour. and in emerging
from the stall stepped behind the ami
nal. The latter let fly with it's heels
planting two vicious kicks in Ludwig 5
face. Ludwig fell against the wall and
his brother, Nicholas. who had wit
messed the incident. reached the in
jured man just in time to prevent the
horse from landing again on Louis.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1909-09-30

The latter was unconscious at the
time he was pulled out of harms way,
and when surgical aid was called 1t
was ascertained that the victims chin
and jaw were broken, and the brain
laid bare in one place.
His face was horribly mashed and
mangled, and all the physicians could
do was to bind up the broken chin and
jaw as tightly as possible and give
whatever other aid they could in max
ing the patient more comfortable and
await developments.
1t is not believed that the man will
recover, although this is thought pos
sible. However, if he dies 1t will be
some time before he will be able to
have the bandages removed from his
face, or be able to eat in a natural
manner. At present the only nourish-
ment he is permitted to take is milk
administered through a tube. passed
through one side of his mouth around
the teeth, thence finding its way into
the throat.
Mr. Ludwig is a married man and
the father of three children and lives
on his fathers farm. about mile
north of Cedar Lake.
