Easter has come and gone and there

angles on the ample tops of the
Easter hats. But seriously though,
there were some very pretty hats seen
on the streets yesterday. The word
streets is used advisedly, since in some
of the churches the hats were worn
in the laps, thus permitting a view
of the beautiful real flowers with which
the churches were so sumptnously
adorned.

morning had the unusual experience Of

brought about by the visit of officials
of the c., c. & L. railroad, who came.
accompanied by Noble C. Butler of In
diana. Noble c. Butler is the clerk in
the federal court fer Judge Anderson.
but in this particular case acted as
special master in chancery in order to
gain information first hand to present
to Judge Anderson on July l. when a
hearing on the receivership for the
road will be held. The road being in
the hands Of receivers, Judge Anderson
has turned down the companys petit
tfon for a depot in Hammond on the
ground that it would be a permanent
Improvement.
The board of public works, however
is insisting on the building of the de-
pot and will attempt to enforce its for
fixture clause regarding the company
franchise if the depot is not forth
coming. General Counsel Harry Starr
the company, says that his company
would be willing at the hearing of the
receivership to help Hammond for the
depot. With all that the depot may not
come until the close OF the hearing
which may last for months.

Shocking Accident Occurs at Six
O'Clock and Whistle Blowing
Saves Her Life

The timely blowing of the six o'clock
whistle at the Erie Coal Storage plant
yesterday evening saved 16-year- old
Frieda Sielaff, 319 Sohl street.
Frieda was on her way home from
work and in making a short cut across
the vacant property east of the cold
storage, stopped to pick flowers. She
did not notice the heavy cable laying in
the grass which winds around a pulley
wheel near where she was picking
flowers. This pulley and cable are US
ed to pull cars to the storage plant.
Frieda found a wet spot and in order
to pass, stepped on the slowly revolv-
ing wheel She missed her footing and
was caught between the spokes..
Whistle Saves Her Life.
There was absolutely no escape for
her. and death would have been abso-
lutely certain had the six o'clock wills
tie not blown after the wheel made two
revolutions Her leg was broken in
three places, one in the thigh bone, and
twice in the lower leg. Her ankle was
also badly wrenched She was hurried
to St Margaret's hospital in Elmer
ling's afbulance after DR. Weis had
administered first aid.
The girl might have lain there for
a long time unconscious had it not
been for George Kahl Of 81 Sob
street, who happened to be near.

Judge Mcmahon is now making his
headquarters in Berlin. He has been
trying to decide as to whether he will

The chances are. however, that he
will take the latter course, as he is

his work is practically completed Judge
