NIGHTLY
ROBBERY
TAKES PLACE

The nightly report of robberies in
Hammond is still continuing Last
night thieves entered the residence Of
Mr. c. Burns 401 Cedar street. but
were frightened before they could steal
anything valuable.
The robbery was discovered at about
1915 p. m. last evening when Mrs.
Burns heard some one walking about
the house. She was so frightened that
she ran out the back way and the
burglar, who was also very frightened,
followed her out
The man is described as being about
Ave feet six or seven inches in height.
medium stout and wore dark clothes.
The small cap was in evidence again
and this makes it apparent that the
same man that was responsible for the
other robberies was engaged in this
one.
There was a vicious bulldog in the
house at the time but that did not
seem to make any difference with Mr.
Burglar. A careful investigation re-
vealed the fact that nothing had beer
taken.

TELEPHONE
COMPANY'S
NEW PLANS

It became known in Hammond to-
day that the Chicago Telephone com
pany will be compelled to put all of its
toll lines which run between Roby
and Hessville in underground conduits
ON account of the disastrous effect of
the high tension currents. which are
used by the electric railways which
pass through this region.
This work will be undertaken at
once and will be done at an expense
of a great many thousand dollars. The
expenditure. however. will mean a
great improvement in the service be-
tween Chicago and Hammond and all
points south.
1t is believed that this conduit will
be one of the longest in this part of
Indiana. In fact, it will be nearly ten
miles long. 1t will be built large
enough to carry wires sufficient for
the needs of the company for years to
come
This is but one of the great projects
that the Chicago Telephone company is
planning for this region.

The burglars are believed TO have

L.APORTE

AT STATE CAPITAL.


AT STATE CAPITAL.
Indianapolis, Ind, May 2S.-Although
1t was generally conceded that Laporte
county would go wet a yesterdays To-
cal option election, no one, not even
the most enthusiastic wet, was pre-
pared to hear that the vets had car
ried the county by the enormous ma
jority of 4,427. When the word reached
this city that this was the figure it
staggered those who were listening for
returns. 1t had been estimated that the
county would go wet by probably l.
600. but it looks like nearly everybody
voted one way. The total vote cast in
Laporte county at the election last fall
was 11s4S0. OF this number Cox, demo-
crat, for secretary of state, got 5,16o,
and Sims. republican, 5,615. This made
a democratic majority of $50. In view
of the fact that the vets carried the
county yesterday by 4427. it seems that
party lines did not cut much figure, and
that republicans and democrats alike
voted wet.
The argument that carried the day
for tht vets in Laporte county was that
If the saloons were driven out of the
county no more Sunday excursions
would be run into Michigan City by
the steamship companies in the sum-
mer time, and the city would lose the
s35Oo00 a year of business that the
excursionists bring to that place. This
is what did ii.
Floyd county was expected to go wet
by about the majority that it gave, l.

situation. Harrison county did as ex-
pected. and went dry, thus forcing out
of business four saloons

Mr.. frost is also generally well liked

both republicans and democrats. The

Watch for Added Eggs.

Be careful that the eggs you buy are
fresh The other night a man broke
into Mrs. James Beilby's woodshed 727
Summer street, and stole six dozen
eggs out of an incubator. The eggs
had been in the process of incubation
for number of days and were prob
ably well along towards the Matching
period.
If the eggs were stolen by some ig-
norant foreigner he may find that he
has spring fries instead of eggs when
he comes to cook them. The Ham
mond housewives are warned not to
purchase eggs from suspicious looking
people for fear of buying young chick
ems instead.

JUDGE us. REITER REFUSES TO
GIVE SOUTH SHORE INJUNCTION

No town board has a right to grant
an exclusive or monopolistic street
railway franchise to any corporation.
This is the decision of Judge Virgil S
Reiter who refused to issue an in
junction restraining the trustees of the
town of Tolleston from granting
franchise to the Gary & Interurban
Railway company. on account of the
exclusive franchise which was granted
to the Chicago, Lake Shore & South
Bend Railway company a year or so
ago.
This will make it possible for the
Gary & Interurban Railway company
to go ahead with the construction of
its line between Gary and Hammond.
and the early settlement of this ques-
ton will hasten the building of the
line.
How Question Arose.
Some time ago the trustees of the
town of Tolleston granted the Chicago,
Lake Shore & South Bend Railway Co
a franchise. in which they were given
the right to enter upon and use Ger
tain streets and in which they agreed
not to grant a franchise TO any other
company for a period of five years.
The exclusive feature of this fran
chise was in consideration OF the fact
that there was not enough business in
ToIIeston to warrant a company build
ing line there unless it could have
an exclusive franchise.
However. the Gary & Interurban line
secured franchise through Hammond
and applied for one in TolIeston, so
that there could be a direct aroute to
Gary. The trustees of the town Of
Tolleston believing that it would be
to the interest of the town to have a
line running through it from Ham
mond to Gary. granted the franchise
to the Gary & Interurban line.
Apply for Injunction.
The attorneys for the Chicago, Lake
shore & South Bend line then made
application to Judge V. S. Reiter for
an Injunction restraining the town
trustees Of ToHeston from approving
the bond of the Gary & Interurban
Co. IT was this application which was
refused by Judge Reiter this morning.
Judge Reiter held that the exclusive
feature Of the Chicago Lake Shore &
South Bend franchise was void. and
sustained Attorney lie Grand T. Mey-
er's demur TO the complaint Mr.. Mey-
| er represented the town board.

by any corporation.

WOMAN
JUMPSFROM
FLYING AUTO
Especial to THE T1MEs.N

East Chicago, May 28.-The spectacle
of a woman throwing herself from an
automobile which was being driven at
breakneck speed, froze the blood of
pedestrians who chanced to be in Chi
cago avenue early last evening. The
automobile merely paused in its wild
flight and then sped on, leaving the wo
man sprawling on the pavement in her
ow nblood, while a number of men who
had witnessed the incident rushed to
her assistance.
The woman proved to be Mary Kisch
ner, a servant in the employ of S. w.
Igden superintendent of the Grass
ALI Chemical plant When carried to
Schlickers drug store it was found
that her nose had been broken and her
face and body were a mass of scars
and bruises.
Man Is Arrested.
The identity of the man has not been
fully established. although he was ar
rested. fighting like a lion, within less
than an hour after the bleeding form
Of the Kischner girl had been picked
up. He is supposed to be the son Of
William Conrad who conducts a garage
and livery stable in Warsaw, Ind. When
however. the name was sprung on him,
he denied that it belonged to him,
ing it was that of a friend who had
| purchased a car at the same time he
bought his.
Before Conrad's arrest a rumor had
gained currency to the effect that the
Kischner girl had been pushed out of
the machine. A large crowd assembled
in front of the drug store where her in
iuries were being dressed, and dire
| threats Of what would be done to the
! driver in the event of his capture, were
made.

"My little daughter who was

MRS. c. G..

Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in a complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of it's merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.
