Last night officer Barnie Johnston of
West Hammond went about the village

fact that he was arrested for having
a girl under is years of age harbored
there, was closed and Foss place on
PIummer avenue was also closed.
In fact. the whole city has been
cleaned up, and 1t viii probably stay
clean until after this agitation in Chi
cago is stopped. It has been discovered
that Con Moore was arrested by Proba-
tion officer O'Keefe and a detective
from States Attorney Wayman's Of
fee.
The closing up of West Hammond
was the talk Of the town last night.
There We're no arrests. but every one
was given to understand that the pow
ers that be hado rdered things closed
up and so they We're closed without
nurmer.
