River IS ON
BIG RAMP AGE
Little Calumet Does Damage to
Broadway Extension and Hessville
Highland Road
TRAIN IN PERIL

The south bound Monon pas
senger train, No. IS, which gets
into Hammond from Chicago at
1917 a. m, was wrecked this
morning at the bridge over the
Grand Calumet river in Ham
mond, and had it not been for
the fact that the engineer was
obeying explicit instructions to
go over this bridge at a snail's
pace, it is probable that one of
the worst wrecks in the history
of the road would have resulted.
The accident was caused by
the storm. There was a quantity
of structural steel in the vicinity
Of the bridge, which is being put
into the new bascule bridge, now
being constructed.
It is believed the wind blew
one of the heavy steel girders
and it rested across the track on
the freman's side. When the
train came across the bridge the
engine struck the piece of steel
and the derailing of the engine
resulted.
The pilot of the locomotive
was broken as was the engine
beam. As soon as the accident
occurred an engine was sent for
and the train was sent through
Hammond over the Erie. The
wrecked engine was not replaced
on the rails until z o'clock this
morning, All of the trains from
the south were delayed for an
hour or more before they were
finally given through route to
Chicago.
The passengers in the sleeper
of the Monon train were un-
aware of the danger to which
they had been subjected and did
not know what they had been
very near death until they ar
rived in Indianapolis this morn
ing.

FOR YOUR HEALTH'S SAKE
THE MIDDLE HORSE.

A farmer, plowinq with three
horses hitched abreast, noticed
that the middle horse became
tired and exhausted long before
either of its mates. As the ami
nal was the equal in every way
of the other two, he was puzzled
as to the cause of its not being
able to stand the same amount of
work. He finally observed, how
ever, that as they drew the pIow
along the three horses held their
noses close together, and with
the result that the middle horse
was compelled to breathe
pired air from its fellows. The
farmer then procured long
"Jockey" stick which he fastened
with straps to the bits Of the out
side horses. The device worked
perfectly; for, given its rightfuI
share of good, fresh air, the mid
die horse was able to do the same
amount of work and with no
greater fatigue than its fellows.
Many persons are like the mid
die horse; they do not get their
richtfuI share Of fresh, pure air.
And this is why they are not able
to perform as much work nor OF as
good a quality as they would 9TH
erwise be able to do.

PROFESSIONAL MEN
THE PERPETRATORS
Victims Show Little Resistance When
Met By Physical Force But They
Meet With Live Bunch In Gary
and Are Not Forced to Fly the
White Flag.

What would Hammond people think
if they knew that two of the city's
most reputable citizens. one an eminent
jurist and the other man standing high
in the medical profession, had been
playing the role of Dick Turpie.
Fortunately there were enough wit
nesses. and THE TIMES is in a position
to print the names without fear or ia
vor, and the added satisfaction that
no attorney will stalk into the sane
tum threatening libel proceedings and
demanding retraction.
The names of the eminent jurist and
the professional medic who were caught
red-handed are Virgil s. Reiter, judge
of the Lake superior court, and, here
tofore, held up to the people of Indiana
as a man of integrity, and DIR. II. Z
Sharrer, who is not only a lady's man
but also a prominent Mason. Their
victims were Dave Hirsch and Charles
Stevens, brother Elks of Messrs Reit-
er and Sharrer. and the fact that they
are brother Elks is the key to the ex-
planation.
Go Through Victims Pockets.
Some fifty Hammond Elks went to
Gary yesterday morning to assist il
the installation of the new Gary
lodge. having chartered a special cal
on the South Shore line. Not enough
fares having been collected to pay fol
| the chartered car, a vote was taker
| in the car as to who should make VI
the deficit. 1t was almost unanimous
in favor Of Messrs. Hirsch and Stev-
ems. and they, upon showing the leas
resistance, were promptly held up BY
physical force and their pockets
| searched Fortunately they fell in will
a good bunch in Gary and no money
was needed there, besides Gary 1!

| at least, reported to be so.

WEATHER IS A
TERRIBLE SAMPLE
Calumet Region Visited by
Hail and All Sorts
Last Night.
STORM OUT OF CLEAR SKY
Weather Man Has Not Fully De-
cided What He Will Hand
Out Now.

If the kind of weather the Calumet
region is having is any criterion of the
kind of weather we are likely to have
during the coming twenty-four hours,
the following prediction is sure to be
as accurate as any that is turned out
by the weather man in the Auditorium
tower in Chicago:
Fair and warmer.
Fair and colder; increasing cloudi-
ness.
Cloudy, with showers at intervals.
Rain, garnished with thunder and
lightning.
Rain, thunder and lightning, accom-
panied by wind of cyclonic proper
tions
In fact. the above prediction will
have the advantage of being accurate
in at least a few particulars. In the
case OF the storm yesterday, it was ac-
curate in every particular.
Weather Is Varfegated.
In fact the people of the Calumet re-
gion had dished up to them weather in
infinite varieties. and they are still in
awe at the versatility of the old codg
er who lives among thermometers, ba-
rometers, aerometers, etc.
Last night a storm would break from
a clear sky, there would be a precipi-
tation of rain, hail, sleet and thunder
bolts, and then the war of the elements
would cease for a rest. only to renew
/ the program later in the night
| So far as can be ascertained there
was only Slight damage to trees and
property. There is still anything but
/ settled weather. and as for the wealth
| er mans predictions, those printed
above are the most reliable.

TRAIN IS
IN WRECK
Advocates of Burns Ditch
Point to Need of the
Big Ditch.

The Little Calumet river is rushing
down the valley of the Little Calumet
in the worst flood in years. IN the
Toneston marsh the food covers so
much territory that acres and acres of
crops have been irreparably injured.
The extension sof Broadway, by which
access Is had from Gary to Glen Park
and Hobart, Is washed out and the raod
is impossible.
Word was received this morning that
the Hessville- Highlands road was rap
idly being washed out by the flood.
The Black Oak road, which crosses the
river south of Black Oak. is in danger
of being washed out at any time.
Two days ago the old residents along
the river pointed to the heighth of the
flood an dpredicted that If the rains
continued the river would rise within
three days until every bridge and ev-
cry road between Hobart and stahl-
baum road would be washed away.
These old residents state that after
a heavy rain it takes at least three
days for the bitches and creeks to de-
poit all of the water in the main chan
mel. 1t is then that the trouble be-
gins.
River stin Rising.
lHIOEnaLlOn LTOn various points
along the river indicates that the river
is still rising at a rapid rate, and that
in a day or two the flood will reach
dangerous proportions, even if there is
no more rain.
If, on the other hand. the rainy
weather continues, 1t is hard to tell
what the result will be. The damage
may then extend to the railroad bridges
and even the traffic on the railroads
may be delayed.
The advocates of the Burns ditch.
which if constructed will prevent this
annual inundation and loss of crops
and property. are pointing to the food
this year as the best evidence that the
big ditch is needed.
They say that 1t must be apparent
to every one that those who oppose the
project in the face of the damage that
Is now being wrought and that which
is sure TO result in the future. are
actuated by nothing but selfish motives
in their opposition.
With the Broadway road washed out
the Black Oak road and the Hessville-
Highlands road in danger, there will
be no way to cross the river from Ho-
bart to the Stahlbaum road.
