1t was quite evident that they had

a walnut is divided into two parts by
a thin but very tough partition which
runs the long way of the nut. The

A good illustration of the instructive
knowledge of rat, has been found by
resident of this city. The gentle
man in question is very fond of wal
nuts and he always has goodly sup
ply of them stored away in his cellar.
Recently he found that the nuts Were
disappearing and when the members
of his family proclaimed that they
were each and everyone innocent of
the theft, he took it into his head 10
investigate. A careful search in the
cellar revealed the fact that about
half bushel of the walnuts had BEEF

cut into the nut on each side enabled
them in some way to extract the kerr
mel from the nut as clearly as one
could want it done and at the same
time made the work rather easy for
them. How they got the meat ont If
the nut through the small holes which
they gnawed is the mystery but the
empty nutshells are there to prove
that they succeeded The instinct
which they showed in gnawing in the
right place to make the work the cas-
lest, is really something wonderful.
On scarcely a single nut, had they
failed to hit the partition so that the
single opening led into both compart-
ments of the nut.

KILLS The
PROJECT

Owing to the lack of interest on the
part of the Hammond people in the
project and their failure to demonstrate
to the war department, the Importance
of a project to dredge the Calumet riv-
er eastward to Hammond, the secretary
of war has presented an adverse re-
port to the house on the project.
The plan was to improve the west
fork of the south branch of the Calu-
met river to Hammond. This part of
the river is known locally as the
Grand Calumet river and relates to that
part of the river between the forks of
the Grand and Little Calumet rivers
and the city of Hammond.
Had the report of the secretary of
war been favorable it is probable that
the Grand Calumet river. west of Ham
mond, would have been made navigable
to boats about the same time that the
Indiana Harbor canal was opened to
the Calumet river and the cities along
this stream between East Chicago and
Hammond might have looked for large
government appropriations for the fu-
ture development of the river.

CRANE KILLS
WORKMAN At
CAR PLANT

Dan Kosher, 23 years old, employed
in the Standard steel Car works as
craneman, was accidentally killed this
forenoon while at work. The version
as to the circumstances differ, one be-
ing to the effect that KOSHER. while on
the crane, was bumped into by steel
rails which protruded from a gondola
car which was being shunted into the
building. The impact threw the crane
off its track causing it to fall, Kosher
fell out and under the machinery. A
second version is to the effect that he
was riding in the gondola car standing
on the rails as they hit the crane, which
fell upon him. There is no question
but what he was killed by a crane
which had been dislocated.
He sustained no serious external in
juries, and those who saw the accident
thought that he might stin be saved.
By the time they had released him,
however, it was found that he must
have died almost instantly after be-
ing struck.
Stewards ambulance was summoned
and the body was removed from the
scene of the accident to the morgue.
where the funeral arrangements and
the inquest viii be held tomorrow.
Little is known about Kosher. He
was first employed at the Standard
about three months ago. and boarded
on Conkey avenue. He is not married
and he is thought to be Of Polish
descent.

HORSE THEFT
IS REPORTED
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

East Chicago. Dec. IA daylight
hbrse theft was reported here yester-
day afternoon, when it was found that
some unknown person had driven away
with an animal belonging to Gus Ban
kowski, 4S3S Homer Lee avenue.
Whoever took the horse seemed more
bent on just simply taking horse than
taking his choice among number of
good ones. The animal, according to the
owners description is black of color
with a white spot on the forehead and
other marks by which it can be iden-
tilted He says that it was in poor
condition and it weighed approximately
500 pounds.
The horse was hitched to a coal wag
on. Inquiry developed the fact that
the horse was driven west on Hoffman
street in Hammond and on One Hun
dred and Forty Eighth street in East
Chicago. but here all trace of it was
lost.
The police in the surrounding towns
were notified and asked to be on the
lookout for the animal.
