WILL RUSH WORK ON
TAPER BUILDING
Granite Now Coming in and
Being Placed on the
Ground.

1t is expected that the work on the
Tapepr building will go forward more
rapidly than ever in view of the fact
that the shipments of granite are now
coming in and are being placed on the
ground.
While the contractor was waiting
day after day for the granite, it was
found that it had been lying on the
sidetracl here in the city for week.
1t is these things that have delayed
the progress Of the work. Now. how
ever. there is PRACTICAL yenough mate
rial to keep the workipgmen busy for
a while, and it is expected that the
building will rise rapidly.
Mr.. Taper has been very anxious to
get the building completed as soon as
possible, for the reason that he is now
losing a large amount of rent every
month through the delay in the build
ing.

WILL SOON
BEGIN To
REMODEL.
Architects for Work on the
Court House Say Job Will
Be Begun 15 Days After
Contract Is Finished
Next Summer.

It appears that Architects Beers &
Beers do not intend to wait until
spring to make the Improvements on
the Lake supartor courthouse at Ham
mond. Aut state that the work will be-
gin fifteen days after the contract for
the remodeling is let.
The law requires that the advertise
ments for bids be published for a Ger
tain length of time, and it will not be
possible to let the contract until the
1st of November.
However, the work on the building
will begin not later than the 18th and
will continue during the winter, until
it is completed. This will be made
possible by a plan by which the cor
ners of the building. which are to be
torn down, will be enclosed SO the work
will go on in spite Of cold weather.
The court house win be practically
gutted and everything from the floors
to the ceiling will be replaced. In fact
the plans contemplate practically the
rebuilding of the court house as it
should have been built in the first
place
1t is estimated that it viii require
six or eight months to remodel the
building according to the plans, and It
is not likely that the work Will all be
completed before summer.

CAR PLUNGES
into Stream
CANNES Owner Appears in
Time to Save Man
From Drowning.

Losing control of his heavy touring
car in an attempt to save a playful
dogs life while crossing a bridge over
the Grand Calumet river at South
Holland. H., DIR. Walford of that place

afternoon and wene to the bottom of
the river In falling from the bridge
the machine turned several summer
saults. causing the doctor to become
caught in the steering apparatus He
was taken from the water unconscious
and this noon was reported to be dying.
The dog, which caused the disastrous
accident. is the property of a fisher
man, who lives near the bridge, and
its barking brought the fisherman to
the scene of the accident in time to
save the occupant of the car from
drowning.
The condition of the physician, who
is we'll known throughout the country
side and IN Lansing, Ill. is extremely
serious. lie has been conscious only
q very short time. and as a result it
is hard to establish the extent of his
injuries The automobile which he was
driving was his own big touring car,
and it is now at the bottom of the
Grand Calumet river. The water is
said to be very deep there.
With the doctor at the time was his
1f-year-o1d son, who escaped uninjured
by jumping before the car went
through railing.
DIR. Walford is man about 40 years
old and has a wife and family The
news of the terrible accident which he
underwent came as a shock to them
and the doctors friends and the fam
lily have made inquiries as to the vic
TINS condition.

mond boy. who was fatally injured
last Saturday evening when he was
hurled from an automobile which he
attempted to board while in motion, re-
covered consciousness today for the
first time since the accident. He has
a chance to live, but that is all that
can be said at this time
An examination shows that he suf-
fered a fracture at the base of the
skull, an injuhy which leaves few
chances for recovery. The case is in
the hands of DR. A. G. Schlicker. and
while he IS doing everything in his
power to save the boy, he is not hold
ing out any false hopes to the friends

WILL CUT
SALARY Of
CITY JUDGE

Mayor Lawrence Becker today decid-
ed to cut the salary of the judge of the
Hammond city court from $1,000 to $500
year. This looks like a mysterious
political move TO number of the re-
publicans who have been running for
this office.
Everybody in town knows that the
office of city Judge is of great import
ance. There are large number of
important criminal and civil cases tried
in this court and already the salary is
50 small that the office is not attrac-
tive to many of the attorneys who
have established practices and who
might make $1,000 out of single
case.
If the democrats expect Fred Bar
nett to win the election for this Of
flee they are handing him a nice little
package in the way of a reduction in
his salary that will make the office
hardly worth going after"

Long may she wave the dear old

morning In the G. A. r. headquarters
in Hammond as Old Glory and the regi-

ninth Indiana regiment were unfurled.
A score of old men. a mere handful,
representing the original 900 who went
out in August, 1852. gathered at Ham
mond today for their annual reunion,
and while the number was sadly de-
pIeted. the old soldiers are undaunted
in their love of the flag and patriotism
The old boys as they like to call
themselves, dropped into Hammond at
all hours Of the day, some coming from
quite a distance.
W. r. c. Entertains.
There was no formal program this
morning, the forenoon hours being
given over to a social session for
which the C. A. R rooms in the Su-
perior Court building were the head
quarters.
The Woman's Relief corps took a
prominent part in the program to make
the day pleasant for the visitors. They
not only served a dinner at noon. but

End Was Not Unexpected.
While it was not believed that Mr.
Hammond could survive very much
longer yet the end came suddenly and
Mrs. Thomas Hammond. who has faith
fully watched over him at the risk of
impairing her own health, was the only
member Of the family at the bedside
Walter Hammond, who had spent the
night at his fathers bedside and had
just returned to his home for a little
sleep, was hurriedly called to the Ham
mond home. The other members of the
family were informed of the critical
condition of the patient. but they were
unable to get to the bedside before Mr.

Ninety Days in Jail and
Disenfranchisement.

If Vita vichmer had told the truth to
Judge Virgil S. Reiter when he was
hailed before him this morning on the
charge of stealing a bicycle the chances
are that the judge would have freed
him in view of the fact that he has
already spent forty days in jail await
ing trial
But .Vichmer thought he could put
one over. He was caught in several
lies and the result was that he was
fined SIS and costs, sentenced to ninety
days In the county Jail and will be dis
franchised for a period of two years.
Vichmer. who is only is years of age,
claimed that he was drunk at the time
he stole the wheel and he was proven
to have been sober He also said he
had talked with Prosecuting Attorney
Greenwald when in fact he did not
know Greenwald when he saw him in
