TAPER TAKES fORCIBLE
POSSESSION OF BLDG.
Contractors Start to Pre-
pare New Home for Ham
mond Savings & Trust.

The Hammond Savings & Trust COM
pany now has possession of Mat Bon
ey's old saloon, and today the con-
tractors are busy ripping up the boards
in the place and making it ready for
occupation by the bank. Anton H. Tap
per took forcible possession this morn
ing.
The officials of the Hammond Saw
ings & Trust company say that if Mat
Bonev has a grievance it is against the
brewery. They claim that they have had
a lease on the place he occupied for
several months.
They claim that Boney has twice
been given notice by A. H. Taper to
vacate the place. following the ex-
piration of his lease, and that he has
assumed that the McAvoy Brewing Co
would see that he retained possession
of the place.
1t is understood that the McAvoy
Brewing company had the lease on the
old Taper block, and naturally wher
this company was asked to vacate tt
permit the Hammond Savings & Trus
Co. to occupy the building, Mr.. Tappel
gave the brewing company lease il
| his new building
| In the meantime it is said that Mr.
| Bonev tried to get the new lease inde
pendently of the brewery. Failing il
| this he delayed until the lease was i'm
ally granted to the brewing company.

WEDNESDAY
Saloonkeeper Attacked on
Street and Badly Beaten; !;
South Bend Man Found
Half Unconscious Near
Hotel Carleton.

There was a regular young carnival
of crime in Hammond last Wednesday
night, but owing to the fact that the
police suppressed the facts they did
not become public until this morning.
The victims of holdups were Nick
Krost, proprietor of a saloon in 402
East State street, who was held up
by two men and badly beaten, and
an unknown man from South Bend,
who was found in the vicinity of the
Carleton hotel SO badly beaten that he
did not know where he was.
The case of the South Bend man is
probably the most interesting. Man
ager p. NJ. Riley of the Princess the
ater was on his way to the Carleton
hotel when he noticed a man crying.
Two other men were with him and they
remarked that he had been ''sloughed''
over in West Hammond.
Reported to Police.
Riley went into the hotel and report
ed the matter. A number of men in
the hotel went outside to find out what
was the matter and discovered that the
man had fallen into the snow and lay
there half-unconscious. Both his coat
and his overcoat had been removed and
his face and head were so badly beaten
thatihe was hardly recognizable.
The police were notified and took the
half unconscious man to the police sta
tion-I Here he was found to be so dazed
that he could not give a proper account
of hi1nself. First he stated that, he. was

of Hammond, is congratulating himself
upon the restoration of valuable pa
pers which had been stolen and which
in their amount represented fortune.
One hundred thousand dollars in
bank and other corporation certificates,
life insurance policies and other valua-
BILE papers, stolen about six weeks ago.
were accidentally unearthed yesterday
afternoon in a treasure den under a
rear stairway at 341-51 Dearborn street,
Chicago. The valuable papers were con-
tained in a battered and insignificant
looking tin box, such as the disciples of
Izaak Walton might use for fishing
tackle.
The treasure was found by Harry
Reese, a pressman, working for the
Publishers Press. while he was in
search of some stolen copper plates
belonging to his firm. He notified Mr.
Cree of his find and the latter lost
no time in rushing from his office to
the office of the Publishers Press,
where his fortune lay.
The finding of the stolen stocks puts
an end to an exhaustive search by Chi
cago detectives, which has been going
on for nearly a month 1t is just a
month today since Mr. Cree, returning
to Chicago from California, missed his
treasure and at once notified the po-
| lioe, who have been quietly searching
! for the stolen property since that time.
| The tin box. which is about a foot long
and about eight inches wide and five
| inches high, was kept in the vaults of
| the Cree Publishing company, on the
fifth floor of the Harvester building, 234
| Michigan avenue. In discussing the
| theft last night, Mr.. Cree said:
II believe the box containing the pa
| pers was taken from the vault while
| / was in California during the holidays
| The door of the vault opens into the
hall, and 1 suppose that the thief was
prowling along the hallway while some
member of the office force was taking
books out of the vault. 1t is likely thai
the door was left open just lons
/ enough to give the thief time to enter
and steal the box. When / discovered
the theft 1 notified the police, but they
found no clew, and l was beginning t.
think that / would never see any of thu
papers again
"Of course. the theft worried me ;
good deal. but L kept very silent abou
IT. You can well imagine that l wa
relieved when heard that the box ha'
: been found. All the papers were recov
cred. Some of them are mutilated, bu
they are all right anyhow"
