leading Hammond man, yesterday in
a fit of dependency took his own
life by hanging himself. He had
carried out an intention which he
had harbored for some time and
which he made known to Mrs. Kunz-
man early in the week. The effort
of the family to guard him from
self-destruction we're futile.

cially in German circles, he enjoyed
a city-wide acquaintance. He was
a member of Moltke Lodge of Odd

the most popular students at the

to the head of the stairs for fresh air

down the flight of steps to the street
below. He was picked UP in an un-
conscious state. taken to his home, and
at this writing all efforts of the ply

him to a conscious state.

men Of those cities and the "Betz

The Betz idea is 10 provide homes for

Frank Malo, former engineer at the
Central fire station was peremptorily

In a formidable document, Malo was
charged with many things for which

dismissal. Among other things he was
charged with conduct unbecoming a
fireman. political activity and assault
and battery. Every prop on which the

There are so many financial ad-
venturers in this locality who go out
after franchises for the purpose of sell
ing them after they get them that
the mots careful inquiry is now made
to determine the financial responsibility
ef promoters before franchises are
granted. This is true except in the
case of poor Whiting. which is at the
mercy of a city council which is trying
to get even with the town.
Up until noon today Mr.. Purtel. the
Chicago representative Of the Northern
Indiana Traction company. had not ar
rived in Crown Point with the prom

A question which Mr. KrinbiH took
up with the business men of Ham

is of the opinion that this privilege
should not be granted between the Lit

reason that this territory will some day
