The Case of Dan Hockleburg
Attracts the Attention of
Police, and Neighbors De
clare That He Abuses His
Family.

The neighbors of Dan Hockleburg,
4O7 Thornton street, are making fur
ther complaint of his shiftlessness, and
the manner in which he treats his wife
and his five little children.
1t will be remembered that last win
ter the attention Of the police was
called to the fact that the children
were on the verge of starvation be-
cause Dan Hockleburg refused to work
and aid in their support. The police
took hold of the case and Hockleburg
was forced to do better
Quantities of clothing, which had
been sent to the police station, were
given to the children and they were
fairly well clothed. Food was provided
and it looked as though Dan Hoekle-
burg might take a brace. stop drinking
and be a man.
The neighbOrs are now complaining
that the children are so poorly fed
that it has been necessary for the peo-
pie in the neighborhood to practically
support them. Measles broke out in the
family, and the poor little wife and her
brood were in dire distress
Responsible neighbors say that Mrs.

husband until she Is afraid to make a

RAIL ROAD TURNS
DEPOT INTO BILLBOARD
City Officials Looking Up
Ordinance About Bill
Posting.

Hammond mas again been presented
with an exhibition Of the characterist-
ic and shameless disregard which the
railroad companies have practiced
whenever the opportunity presents it
self The latest offense to disgrace
the city comes from local railroad
in the nature Of billboard advertising
on the outer walls of its depot, which
is already barn-like in appearance. For
a few paltry dollars it has its wall
space on the two-story shack to an
advertising concern in New York, which
secures the right to cover the entire
front of the building with patent medi-
cine posters, screaming in color and
nauseating to any sense Of decency and
civil pride on all sides there We're
loud protests against this outage, which
makes Hammond the laughing stock of
the thousands Of people that pass
through the heart Of the city, on rail-
roads. street cars. automobiles. etc.
The warning sign posts put up by the
one railroad through the heart of the
city in country fashion at the time
Were thought to be the limit but they
look tame against the glaring cough
cure and nerve tonic advertisements.
There was a general outcry against
the thing this morning. and it has
been predicted the Erie railroad will
learn in very short time that it was
about the poorest advertising contract
that it has ever let in Hammond The

vides a penalty of $500 for the violation

Governor Thomas r. Marshall will
be in Hammond on the occasion of the
banquet of the Alumni association next
week. The definite information was
received in dispatch to SUP, p,rintendent
C. NJ. Mcdaniel from indianapolis this
Dorniug. While there was 70 question
that the governor would keep his word

Of relief and qualification TO the mem
bers of the alumni to know that he will
surely be here.

The members of the high school feel
that the records Of the various athletic
teams has been such that they may rea-
sonably expect the support of the peo-
pie of the city. The business men OF

South Chicago, H., June 4.-The fol-

of our misfortune great many Chris

when calm seemed somewhat re-
stored, a new rising of the Moslems
again set the city on fire and deluged
it with blood. This time. on the 25th

and vandalism was omitted and we
were brought TO the last extremity Of

$4,000 AN
ACRE ASKED
Business Men Wondering
About Hammond's First
Industrial Site.

What will be done with the site of
the G. H. Hammond Co. in Hammond?
This is the question that is. asked
daily by people who pass the deserted
spot of ancient memories where the
only activity is the work of the wreck
ers who are tearing down the plant.
Old Hammondites who remember the
days when the greatest industry in
Lake county was located on the mag
niicent site, between the Michigan
Central railroad and the river and
between the Monon tracks and the State
line, now wonder why the National
Packing company, the present owners
of the land. do not dispose of the site
TO some company that will improve it
and add another to the many Hammond
industries.
A bit of history that is not gener-
ally known about this property is the
fact that group of Hammond cap
italists went to Chicago recently and
offered the present president of the
National Packing company $1O0 900 in
cold cash for the twenty-seven acres
The offer was refused and $4,000 an
acre was asked. This would make the
valuation. which the National Pack
ing company places on the property
1852, 600.
Finest site in City.
There is probably not a site In this
whole wonderful Calumet region that
Is the equal of that owned by the Ma
tional Packing company. It has track
age facilities on The Indiana Harbor
Belt and Chicago Junction Belt rail-
ways and on the Michigan Central
railroad and has quarter of a mile of
river frontage
1t is accessible to an inexhaustible
labor market and is so near Hammond
that should concern be located on this
site it would boom the business dis
trict wonderfully
The fact that the National Packing
company has ordered all of the build
ings on the site tc rn down is an indica-
ton that i. expects to do something
with it in the naer future. One report
was that all of the land would be
sold to the Indiana Harbor Belt rail
road for trackage purposes, but it was
denied at the general offices of the
company and the idea that the com
pany needed extia yards in this locali-
ty and would pay $4,000 an acre fol
the land was reGiculed.
Speculate on Future.
A Hammond man who is watching
the situation pretty closely said h,
could not understand why the com
pany should tear down the big chin
ney. which was recently wrecked. whe1
it was one of the finest stacks in tn,
country and wes worth a good man,
thousands Of dollars to any compan!
that might use the site for manufactur
ing purposes.
What viii be done with this mag
nificent location is a problem that ma,
not be settled for some time to com
and yet may be settled unexpected.
in the near future. 1t is general.
recognized. however, that should a fac
tory decide to locate there. it wouI
be a big concern that could afford t
pay $4,000 or $4,000 an acre for
site and would be one of Hammond
finest industries. 1t would result in
great boom for property on West Stat
street, Sibley street and Plummer ave
nue. property. Plummer avenue. nigh
as in the old days. become one of tn
principal streets in the city.
