NOT SUCH
A COLD PLACE,
IS It MIKE?

Mike Koshack has found that the
world is not SO cold a place after all.
Yesterday he was in the depths OF de-
spondency and today he is one of the
happiest boys in Hammond.
The story of Mike hard luck. the
story of a boy who was not wanted.
was read by the thousands of readers
of THE TIMES and early this morning
inquiries were received from those who
thought they would like to adopt
boy of Mikes character.
Mrs. VIM. Burke, 3S5 Towle street.
got THE TIMES on the wire this MORN
ing and said that if Mike proved to be
the. right kind of boy she would be
glad to give him an education, the ben
eft of a good home and might event.
ually adopt him.
Mrs Burke has no children of her
own and she thought that it would be
a good thing for Mike and a good thing
for herself if she could have Mike to
look after.
No sooner had Mrs. Burke called up
than Andrew Walter, who lives on the
Wicker farm( south of Hammond. call
ed up and stated that If Mike is the
right sort of fellow he would like to
have him make his home there.
Mr.. Welter proposes to send him to
school in the winter time and do odd
chores about the place and in the
summer time Welter thinks he can find
enough work for the boy to do to pro-
vide him with a little spending money.
Another Hammond lady took Mike
over to her house al noon today and
gave him good dinner. She told him
to come around for supper and will
keen hin, until he finally decides where
he will go.
And so Mike feels that being fired"
| IS not so bad after all when one can
| find friends who will take an interest
| in him. He is a good boy and proposes
| to keep on doing the square thing sc
| that his friends will stick by him.

Planned on Broad and
Progressive Lines.

Great preparations are being made
for the meeting of the Hammond Bust
ness Mems association. which will be
;ife4d- In EIaTnmonaeen Thsarsda y even
ing, Oct. 13. at s o'clock.
EveryNmember of the association is
invited to be present to help to plan
the winter campaign One of the prin-
cipal topics that will be taken up for
consideration will be the location of
the new Monon- depot.
The credit for inducing the railroad
to build the depot is due to the activi-
ties of the Hammond Business Mems
association. Fred Crumpacker was
appointed chairman of the committee
which took the matter up with the
railroad commission and later thG
body induced the railroad to agree to
the Improvement.
Now the question of the proposed
location of the new depot has come
up, and it is so important that an eff
| fort may be made by the association
to have the railroad change its plans.

| Any person who is interested in this
matter is invited to attend the meet
ing tomorrow night. The question Of

| superior court VIII also be taken VI
| and some decision will be reached a!
to the steps that should be taken t,
secure the appointment of an extr,
Judge here.
The movement for the opening o
new thoroughfares, which was agi
tated by THE TIMES and inaugurated b.
the Hammond Business Mems associa
ton will be taken up also. The fac
is generally appreciated that steps vii
have to be taken up also fbbffb
have to be taken along this line 500
or the opportunity of opening certai

AUTO CLUB
TAKES Up NEW
BUSINESS

The meeting of the Hammond Au-
tomobile club was held in the First
National bank last evening, and y was
discovered that sixty-five Hammond
people have signed the charter list.
The most important action that was
taken was to authorize the erection of
100 signs Offering a reward of $40
for information leading to the arrest
and conviction Of any one caught
throwing glass or tacks in the street.
The fact was made known that the
members of the club could buy their
supplies at wholesale prices under an
arrangement that has been made with
a Chicago firm.
The membership of the club is in
creasing rapidly. and 1t is expected to
get the organization into shape this
winter that 1t will be very effective
next year.

One Works at Such Height He

Returned to Work This Afternoon.

Cecil Jack, tile roofer on the Su-
perfor court building in Hammond fell
distance of sixty-five feet from the
roof this morning. and after having
given order that the work should not
be delayed, he walked into the ambu Q
lance to be taken to the hospital for
an examination as to whether he was
seriously injured or not. He said he
was alright, and went to the hospital
more to satisfy his friends than him

Jacks fall this morning was one of
hte miraculous escapes from death that
is recorded in Hammond. 1t was wit
messed by number of people. among
them Atty. d. C. Atkinson, Atty. E. G.

McFadden.
But for superhuman presence of mind
which Jack displayed he would have

He told a TIMES reporter that when he
felt himself going he balanced himself
so to prevent falling on his head.
He fell squarely with his back onto
four feet of tile which were piled lose

seventeen of them. His arms were
scratched and lacerated but apparent

Bixby Is Back

Harlan A. Bixby, LII B., has returned
to Hammond Somehow Hammond
seems to have a fascination for him
and he could not stay away long. 1t
was only few months ago that the
auburn-h haired attorney sadly departed
from friends and others in this city. 1t
hurt him worse than it hurt Hammond
when he left, and there is probably no
one who has left the city who was
missed more than Harlan. But yester-
day the joyous news was received that
Bixby is back and Immediately the
town sat up and took notice. Yes, 1t

DECL INES To
TALK Of Il

Saying that his attorney in Chicago
had advised him not to make any
statement in response to the articles
that have appeared In THE TIMES, Eu-
gene Purtelle yesterday declined to ex-
plain the report which was sent out
from Chicago regarding his financial
standing.
After going up and down the coun-
ty and telling the people that he would
answer THE TINES article and explain
in his statement a few questions that
have been raised he now comes out
fatty and declines to have anything to
say.
THE TIMES had no doubt of its posi-
tion when it laid bare the past per-
formances of Purtelle. 1t knew that
it could be held for libel If the facts
were not as printed. 1t knew fur
ther that if the facts were untrue that
the Purtelle Co. would demand a re-
traction.
Does Not Deny Facts.
When Purtelle failed to demand a
retraction THE TINES then solicited a
statement from him regarding his side
of the matter. Purtelle had Attorney
J. K. Stinson of Hammond prepare a
statement for him. This statement did
i1Ol inset Will MS approval III some
minor details, according to his story.
He wanted to take it to Chicago and
have his attorney make some correc-
tions. Then he said 1T would be given
out for publication.
Purte1le and his attorneys were in
formed time and again that the col
umns of THE TINES were open to him
at all times, should he care to avail
himself of them in an effort to cor

ELkS GETTING READY
FOR THEIR BAZAAR
City on Qui Vive Because of
Coming Social
Function.
Hello. Bill. Going to the bazaar?"

Hello. Bill. Going to the bazaar?"
Sure
Shake" business of going to the
new Heintz building and having
good time)
So much has been said about the
coming Elk bazaar that all Hammond
is the qui vive for the opening
night, Oct. 22nd. Nothing like it has
eyer been attempted before in Ham
mord. and the fact that 1t is to be an
Elk festival is assurance enough that
it will be a success.
That the Elks are enthusiastic about
their bazaar can be taken from the
fact that Dan Moran, chairman of the
press and advertising committee went
to East Chicago the other day to see
whether it would not be possible to
tack an advertising sign on E1y's air
ship, and thus take the news to New
York.
Try for the Lot.
A. NJ Turner, president of the First
National bank. who is a loyal Elk
added a desirable building lot to the
long list of prizes that have already
been contributed. The lot at the low

Only a nominal admission, ten cents
| will be charged, and this will entitle
the ticket holder to a chance on some
! article that will be given away to the
holding of the lucky number. This is
done to give the Elks an c~srortunity
to bar the undesirable element
A welcome contribution came this
morning with announcement thai

Every Elk of the Hammond lodg,
is taking a live interest in the com

the Hammond Elks have, there will

these is Garry Hermann. chairman o
