PANHANDLERS


If the police can get the goods on
few more fellows like Harvey J. Col
inns of Denver. Colo, Hammond on
Saturdays will not be a paradise for
the tramp cripples, beggars and pan
handlers who infest the city weekly.
Collins. an able-bodied young fellow,
was fined So and costs in the city court
this morning, having been convicted of
vagrancy He had been caught last
night panhandling his way through
the business district selling shoe
strings and handing out cards which
had on them the information that he
had lost his speech from typhoid fever
and that the recipient of the card
should pay what he wishes. Early this
morning he could talk very readily.

considerably above a whisper 1t was
apparent that he was feigning his i'm
pediment.

realize the hopelessness of getting a

when the law and evidence is conyinc-

HAMMOND REAL ESTATE FIRM
COMPILE ASTONISHING LIST
Gostlin, Meyn & Co. Show That They Have Handled
5 100000 Worth of Property Since First of
March, 1910.

That the real estate activity in Ham
mond during the past two months has
been the most remarkable in the his
tory of the city is shown by compila-
ton of the sales that have been made
by Gostlin. Meyn & CO. since March 1.
The actual sales during this period
amounted to s1s2.s40. An analysis of
the list shows that most of the large
sales have been in the business dis
trict of Hammond. In fact, the inter-
est in Hammond business property is
greater than 1t has ever been before.
This list does not include a number
of important purchases that have been
made by Gostlin, Meyn & Co. in the
same period. The purchase of the
Towle property on Holman street is
the most notable of these and involves
large sum of money.
Involves S3oG,08o.
It Is probable that the total amount
of money involved in these transac-
tions, both sales and purchases, is in
excess of 100000.
William Fl. Gostlin, member of this
firm, said today: "A summary Of the
sales our, firm has made since March
l shows that the totN amount of mon
ey involved is larger than we expected.
OF course. we knew that the business
that was being done by the Arm was
larger than it had ever been before in
similar period, but we never dreamed
that it had reached the figure that our
books show it has.
We have been SO busy making sales
that we never took the time to see
what the aggregate amount of these
has been. am OF the opinion that
this is only the beginning, and if the
prosperity OF the country continues
this year II will be the best that HAM
nond has ever known, from a real es-
tate dealers point of view"
The following is list of the actual
transactions that have been made by
Gostlin, Meyn g. Co. since the 1st of
March:

avenue crossing, and the Chicago men
We're unaequainted with the territory
out here. The train being east-bound
the engineer could not see the APP
preaching machine, and the driver of
the van did not realize his danger until
it seemed too late. He knew he could
not bring his heavy machine to a stop.
and in a desperate effort he shot ii
across the tracks in the hope of beat
ing the engine. He nearly succeeded
not enough to save the machine and
its contents-but to save his life and
that of his fellows. Had he first ap-
piled the brakes and killed his engine
he and his fellows could have slowed
the machine down enough so they
could have jumped with safety and let
the machine take it's chances with the
engine. 1t was his supreme effort to
save the property which was entrust-
ed in his care which nearly cost him his
own life.
