TWO HAMMOND MEN
GET A PATENT
Mechanic at Locomotive
Works Get Gratifying
News From Capital.

The names of George Braham and
John I.ill two Hammond men, may be-
come famous in railroad circles owing
to a patent on brake, letters patent
for which are about to be granted them
in washington. Mr.. Braham is en-
ployed as a mechanic at the Fitz- Hugh
Luther Locomotive works, while Mr..
Lii is employed as a railroad brake
man. They formed a partnership and
have succeeded in patenting a brake,
the principal feature of which IS said
TO be the elimination of the brake
beam.
The patent is 50 well thought of by
the New York Central lines that they
have decided to take it up and try it
out on a car This insures the Ham
mond men a hearing, so to speak, and
they feel satisfied that their patent will
be successful Their patent will not
onlv be less complicated than the
present brake beam, and less expensive
but eliminates another factor which
cause wrecks, that Of the dropping o.
the brake beam.
/ The patent was put through th'
United states patent office by Attorney
Fred Barnett and a Washington %. G.
attorney.

HAMMOND
BOYS TO Be
RETAINED

That the Hammond men picked out
a good lot of employees when they
started the Calumet Savings and Trust
company at Gary, is proven by the fact
that three Hammond men have been
quickly picked up by the bankers OF
Gary following the purchase of the Cal
umet Savings and Trust company by
the First Trust and Savings bank of
Gary.
Oliver Holmes will become the presi-
dent of the South Side Savings bank
which will be established on South
Broadway, to take the place of the
Calumet Savings and Trust company.
Joseph Dunsing, one of Peter w.
Meyn's proteges, will enter the employ
of Thomas E. Knots in the new bank
which he is now establishing. Louis
P Kuss, who was formerly a Ham
mond man and later became identified
with the Calumet Savings and Trust
, company, will take charge of the in
surance department OF the First Trust
and Savings company of Gary.
It will thus be seen that practically
all of the Hammond men who were con-
nected with the Calumet Savings and
Trust company have found good berths
in Gary.
oliver Holmes was formerly an en-
ployes in the office of A F. Knots OF
Hammond and went to Gary in the ear
ly days. Joseph Dunsing was former
| ly an employe Of the Lake County say
ings and Trust company.

Deputy Coroner E. NJ. Shanklin has
completed his report on the death of
Bert Faultz and the injury to William
T. Vogt who were working on the
Taper block, and in his verdict he
censures neither Contractor Mat La
yene or Architects Bump & Berry.
This is taken to mean that the re-
sponsibility for tn death of one man
and the injury to the other lies with
themselves, and that no one but them
selves were to blame for the terrible
accident.
The verdict was returned only a1tef
the most careful investigation on the
part of Dr. Shanklin. Every witness
who saw the accident and whose name
could be secured was called in to testi-
fy.

were guilty of negligence, in case OF
this kind, and the coroner finds this to

EMPLOYE
WITH Theft

w. B. Renearsak, a patient at St.
Margarets hospital, will know better
hereafter than to entrust his money
into the hands of a stranger when,
with the same effort he might have put
his little $50 in the hospital safe. AS
a result of his mistake Renearsak is
out $50 and Joseph Hannig. who was
employed as roustabout at the hos
pital. is gone with the money. The
last seen of Hannig was two hours
after the theft, when Captain Barney
Johnson of the West Hammond police
force saw Hannig on Plummer avenue
heading for the South Chicago street
car.
Hannig is a German and had been
employed at the hospital for some
time. and there was no reason to doubt
his honesty. Renearsak made the mis-
take, however. of entrusting his mon
ey to a stranger instead of giving 1t to
the Sisters for safe keeping.

wanted most is matter of mystifying
conjecture. Last Thanksgiving was a
startling example of the fading away
Of the turkey and the looming up OF

health authorities had something to say

chop, the train bearing the turkey was

SKIS DAMAGES.

Three very brief complaints We're

SIC. 900 in damages is asked from vari-

John Paszkiewicz has brought an
action against the Inland Steel COM

would not talk for publication, owing
to the fact that he does not care to be
involved in any legal controversy that
might arise as a result of the of the
accident and the possible fling of suit
for damages.
The testimony of the witnesses is,
however, on file and perusal OF II

finds it impossible to place any blame
on the contractor or the architects.
The testimony showed that it was
the custom of the workingmen to stand
on the wall when they were in the act
of laying piece of the projecting terra
Gotta cornice.
The brick wall had been laid over
week and the first course of terra Gotta
