BLOODHOUNDS
FOR A GROCERY BILL
Domestic Trouble of the Strumphers
and His Friend May Put Quietus
on the Calumet Detective Associa-
ton, According to Stories That
Have Been Told.

If the story which is told by Mrs.
Martha Strumpher is true, the Calumet
Detective association is all shot to
pieces. The fact is known that J. r.
Grave, a grocer at 239 Indiana avenue,
has attached the associations blood
hounds and will keep them in lieu of
the money for grocery bill, which is
now due.
From all indications the business of
following "the trail with bloodhounds
and being a sleuth is not very remuner-
alive and ambitious Sherlock Holmes
are advised to find greener pastures
than Hammond.
Mrs. H. c. Strumpher and her four
little girls, whose ages range from 9
months To u years. have been desert
ed by the husband and father They
are left penniless in Hammond and
their only hope is that the good people
of this city will give Mrs. Strumpher
enough work to help her maintain her
little four-room cottage at 300 Indiana
avenue.
Wouldn't Provide Il Home.
Mrs Strumpher came to Hammond
with the understanding that she was
| to have home. She alleges that her
husband pleaded hard times" as an
| excuse for not providing for them.
! Finally he is said to have told her to
| go to her mothers in Paris, H.. for a
few weeks until he would be able to get
| enough money together to provide them
with a home.
Soon after she left she says Mr.
Strumpher rented house. and Mr. and
| Mrs. Cummings, his partner and his
Wife, moved into the place and took
/ Strumpher as boarder. Shortly aft
/ erward according to Mrs. Strumpher
Mr. Strumpher secured employment fol
Mr.. Cummings working nights in Blue
| Island watching cars.
Mr. Strumpher and Mrs Cummings
lived in the house until finally Mrs
Strumpher returned to Hammond OF
the nth of June to see why her HON,
had not been provided. Mr. Strumphel
took her to 221 Michigan avenue anC
secured room temporarily. on sat
urday Mrs. Strumpher says her hus
band left her without funds anC
| groceries, and told her she and tn,
children would have to do the hes
they could. Saturday night Mrs
Strumpher found herself without
place TO steep ana without funds, ant
went to the police station for assist
ance.
Dogs Are Attached.
Mr.. Strumpher returned to Harmon,
yesterday, and was very angry becaus
his wife had gone to the police sta
ton He accused her of attempted t
ruin his business Almost immediate
~ his dogs were attached by Groce
Graves, and after purchasing a ney
suit of clothes Mrs. Strumpher says h
disappeared, and she does not expect t
see him again.
A few days before Mr., Strumpher'

left Hammond to go to the home of he
mother. She took with her the 3-year
: old son. who is her only child

Cardinals Sailed Bouquets

Charleston News and Courier:
During the exposition in Charleston,
one of the many colonies in North
Carolina came here with Governor
Aycock. He was very fond of ice
cream, and at one Of the most brill
liant receptions of that period asked
for pepper and salt, with which he
declared it always been his habit
to eat his cream. That was some
thing new under the sun in these
parts, but as the Erskine college
man says, De gustibus non dis
putandum. 1t must be said, how
ever, that the tar-heel colonel is not
the only person of distinction who
likes salt. A brilliant young lawyer
shocked all his associates at the Taft
dinner in Summerville Sunday night
by drinking his champagne with salt.
1t is said that salt gives almost as
fine a bouquet as vinegar.

The Governor no Sooner Signed the
Two Cent Law When an Injunct-
ion Was Issued.

The two cen passenger rate went
into effect / Wednesday afternoon
when Governor Vessey signed the bill
that passed both the senate and
house.
The law never had a chance to
become operative, for the railroads
had their attorneys appear before
the federal court at Sioux Falls and
ask Judge Garland to issue an in
junction preventing the law becom-
ing operative. Judge Garland issued
the restraining order, which will be
in force until a hearing is had be-
fore him on March /. The bill when
it passed had the emergency clause
attached and thus became immediate
ly effective when signed by the gov
ernor.
Wednesday evening States Attor-
ney Herbert received a telegram from
Howe, Butler & Mitchell, attorneys
for the railroads, informing him of
the decision of Judge Garland and
restraining him or any official from
taking any action to prosecute the
agents of the railroad companies for
not complying with the two-cent
passenger rate law.

walked up to the telegraph Office and
dispatched a telegram; that is all
there was to it so far as the capitol
