DARING
ATTEMPT
IS MADE
Heimke Residence on Muir
ray Street Is Entered
Early Yesterday Morning
by Culprit, Who Makes
Escape Afterward.

One Of the most daring piece OF
house breaking that ever took place
in Hammond occurred early yesterday
morning at the home of VIM Heimke.
7ss Murray street.
Remarkable to say, the person who
made his way into the sleeping room
escaped. And the police were not
notified of the event, SO that his iden.
tity is a secret.
Miss Martha Heimke. daughter OF
the house. had attended the dance at
Huehn's hall, and shortly after
o'clock returned to her home with Miss
Edna Mokden, as her guest. The girls
thought that they were followed. but
when they reached the safety of tha
Heimke domicile they heaved a sigh
of relief. and retired to Miss Heimke's
room, which is on the first floor and
opens from the side of the house to the
ground. not over three feet below. Aft
er both girls had retired. Miss Heimke
was awakened by a noise in the room,
which was dark, and felt some per-
sons sieze her leg. She screamed and
kicked and before the house could be
alarmed she saw in the dim light the
outline of clambering hastily through
the window. Her father and broth
ers were aroused by this time and gave
| chase to the cuprit. but he had dis
| appeared in the darkness. The family
have no telephone in the house were
unable to apprise the police department
of the event. The young ladies are
confident that the man who entered the
house knew the situation there and
was acquainted with the environment.
They are of the opinion that the OBJ
ject of the visit was not burglary, but
that they were followed by some one
who was at the dance.

Especial to TIM T1MEs.l


Crown Point, Ind, Nov. Is. - From
newspaper reports, the people of Elgin,
ILL.,, are making strong bid for the
Cobe cup race next year and are offer
ing all kinds of inducements to the
Chicago promoters in order to persuade
them to look with favor upon their
territory as the scene Of the holding of
the next classic event. They claim an
excellent race course, about twelve
miles long, which can be put in ex-
cellent shape at limited cost, which
they are prepared to do. Excellent
transportation facilities is another
drawing card held up to the promoters
of the race and possibly a cash bonus
will be awarded in the event of the de-
cision of the controlling board to hold
the race there.
Crown Point people do not seem to
be very much exercised over the losing
of the big event should another field
be selected. and although many are
anxious to see a repetition Of the race
here next year, it is not thought con-
certed action Will be made to influence
the promoters to again select the
course Of the first race. The holding
of the event has proven that it has
nearly as many undesirable features as
things in It's favor. and while it was
money making venture to some many
were left on the losing side on account
of the miscalculation of crowds and
their spending abilities.

team of the Hammond Athletic associa-
