closed by order of the court on ac-
count of the appointment of a re-
ceiver, opened today All of the old
men who were let out at the time the
plant closed will be taken back at once,
and the work of the plant will go on as
though nothing had happened.
1t was necessary to secure an or
der of the court before the plant could
be opened, owing to the fact that the
finances of the company were in the
hands of the receiver. This order was
secured. however. and the plant re-
opened this morning.
1t is said that the prospects for an

been plunged are bright. and it is not

The beautiful singing by Miss Dora
Clamage alone was worth the price of
admission. Although only a 16-year-
old girl, she has a wonderful range of
voice. under perfect control and with
good resonance. 1t was more effective
because it did not affect the unnatural
tremolo. The beauty of her singing was
enhanced by the accompaniment, which
was furnished by Mr.. Nusbaum, who
played a cymbal, a stringed instrument
not any more in common use. The in
strument which he played is said to be
so years old and is on the order of the

planning a most unique organization
within the order. The next interna-
tional meeting Of the Elks will be held

meeting. In order that the expense of
the Hammond members to attend such a
meeting will not hit the pocketbook
amidships and destroy its usefulness
for other purposes, number Of the
members of the club have decided to
save a little money each week until
next summer.
A club within the Elks lodge is to
be organized, which will be known as
the Detroit club. If the expenses of
each member are estimated at 500.
that amount will be divided by the
number of weeks between now and the
date of the convention and each mem
ber win save to pay that much per
week.

ciaI sessions. and they expect to have a
good time planning for their trip next

MAN MANNED
By SHOTGUN
ACCIDENT
Discharge of Weapon While
Cleaning It Causes Seri-
Gus Injury to Byron Flu
no-Directs Family as to
Treatment.

AS the result of the accidental dis
charge of a shotgun Byron Fluno, who
resides on Charlotte street, near Hoh-
man, will lose his left forearm. The
accident happened this morning at
about $3.50, while Fluno. a travelling
man, was cleaning his shotgun in the
basement of his home subsequent to a
hunting trip.
Fluno had been hunting on Saturday,
and this morning he determined to
clean his gun. He was seated in the
basement of his home with the gun
over his knee.
He had not ascertained whether or
not the gun was loaded. Holding the
gun with his right hand, he reached
reached over to pick up a rag with his
left when the trigger of the gun caught
in his clothes and the contents of one
barrel was discharged into his left
forearm.
So close was the arm to the end of
the barrel that the shot nearly ampu-
tated the hand. Mr.. Fluno exhibited
remarkable nerve in the agonizing mo-
ments which followed the accident.

Directs Operation.

The hemorrhage from the arteries
was so great that it would not have
taken him long to have died from the
loss of blood. He quietly directed his
wife, and those of his children who
were about him. to bandage his arm
with pieces of cloth so that the loss of
the blood could be stopped.
He also directed that doctor should
be called, and in fact, took charge of
the whole affair until the doctors came.
Drs. Groman and Oberlin responded and
ordered the patient removed to st. Mar
garets hospital. The doctors say that
Fluno showed the most nerve of any
patient they ever had in their practice.
Byron Fluno is very well liked
among all who know him. and the fact
that he has a wife and family of four
children will make the sympathy for
him general. Mr.. Fluno has been trav-
cling for a Chicago company.

300 EAT
At ORAK
BANQUET
Sixty Mobiles Join Fledgling
Temple Amid Festivities
Never Before Equalled-
Drill a Marvel Of Perfec-
tion.

Saturday night sixty candidates We're
added to the membership of Orak tenn
pie and that hedgling in Shrine cir
cles let out lusty yell that was heard
all over the state and promises to be
heard again and again in the future.
Orak temple initiated its first class
and every member and officer was
proud of the three score of mobiles who
were given the right to wear the fez
bearing the name Orak.
And after the class was initiated the
festivities of the evening began. The
banquet was in charge of J, H. Kasper
and his daughter, Marguerite. and the
menu was a splendid one. Over 500
persons were served and this will give
an idea of the magnitude of the under
taking.
Although the candidates arrived ear
ly in the afternoon. it was along about
o'clock before the various bands and
patrols from the other Shrines in the
state arrived.

Music Delights.

After marching down State street, the
cavalcade moved down Oakley avenue
to Michigan avenue and then to Central
park, where the drill of the Murat
corps was given.
The drill was preceded by the playing
OF the Murat band and the medley of
selections that were offered by this mu-
steal aggregation delighted the crowd.
The drill of the corps of uniformed
Shriners was the best that has ever
been seen in Hammond. 1t was wit
messed by approximately 5000 people.
In spite Of the fact that the drill corps
had undergone a tedious four-hour ride
from Indianapolis. it went through the
myriad evolutions with a speed and
accuracy that was remarkable.
Every evolution that is known to
soldiery was attempted and carried out
with a precision that made the sixteen
men in the corps look like the pick of
West Point cadets on exhibition rather
than a representative lot of business
men from Indianapolis.

Luncheon Next Feature.

After the drill was over all of the
Shriners went to the temple, where
they were served with a lunch. This
included both the members of Orak
temple and the visitors. The other fes-
tivities followed later in the evening.
There were not nearly as many
Shriners in Hammond as there were at
the time the 101 class was initiated,
owing to the fact that there was not
the proper hotel facilities for their ac-
commodation. Those who had the man
agement of the ceremonial in charge,
said that they would not have dared TO
invite the mobiles from Murat temple to
Hammond for fear they would find it
impossible to get anything to eat.
The visiting mobiles and the new
made members of Orak temple were
given appropriate souvenirs of their
Hammond experience. One of the souv-
enirs was a silver knife bearing the
name Of Orak temple.
