IS MUCH
BETTER

Frank Cravens. the son of Attorney
L. V Cravens. is reported to be very
much better today. He is. in fact. re-
covering from the accident, and unless
the wound becomes infected he will
probably live.
He is stronger and shows lively in
terest in his Hammond friends and in
things in general. Last night he was
strong enough to tell his father of the
circumstances of the accident.
1t was an hour after he was injured
before doctor was called and not un-
til the next morning was he taken to
the hospital and placed upon the oper-
ating table.
Attorney Cravens said today. THE
accident happened at : o'clock in the
evening. and 1t seems almost criminal
that he was allowed to remain all
night without being removed to a hos
pital. An automobile could have been
pressed into service. Only the boy
strong constitution saved him.

Much to the regret of hundreds Of
Germans of Lake county. the Freie
Presse, a German weekly published by
Henry Barck at Hammond, has ceased
publication for lack OF advertising. The
last issue appeared on Oct. 13, and at
present there are no hopes that the
publication will be revived. Mr.. Barck,
the editor and publisher, will continue
the printing establishment on State
street as a job printing office, but will
sell the plant for a reasonable figure.
For thirty five years the Freie Presse,
originally Subiished at Crown Point,

Lake county. and despite the fast dis

BOONE SPEAKS
AT ST. JOHN
(Speci.l to THE TrMEs)

tSpecl$t 10 IHE IrMES)

receives to 3 cents for a pound of
pork at the present time, compared to
cents under democratic administra-

ticket ought to be ashamed to look into

In Hammers hall here last Wednesday

republicans in the audience had about

This was no damper however on the
oratorical flights of the Hammond
lawyer whose eloquence did not falter.
Mr.. Boone spoke for more than an hour.
