REPORTER TELLS MAN
HIS WIFE IS DEAD

A TIMES reporter this morning gave
George Tuttle, who is a porter at the
Emil Schultz saloon, corner of State
street and Oakley avenue. the first in
formation that his wife was dead and
that the body lay in the Stewart
morgue. The woman died late last
night.
1t was news to the old man, but 1t
was news that he had rather expected.
In the three weeks that she lay in the
hospital her husband visited her once,
this being last Monday evening He
said his physical condition did not per-
nit him to visit her again, although
he rather expected that she would die.
He said that he was unable to care for
her burial. and the expense will very
likely be betrayed by the county.
Tuttle said that his only children are
three girls, two of whom live in Mas
sachusetts and one in Connecticut, and
that 1t had been long time since they
last heard from them.
The Tuttles have lived in Hammond
for sixteen years, the husband having
come from Chicago as an employe in
the distillery.

gogue in Hammond have purchased the
old Christian church on Indiana ave-
nue. from the trustees of that church

which they hope to dispose of to secure
funds with which to buy a site for a
new church.
However, the old Christian church
will serve the purpose for the time
being and services will now be held
there on Saturdays, the Jewish day of
worship.
1t is understood that the considera-
tion was s1.5O0 The Jewish people
expect to occupy their new church for
a time and later on it is understood

BALL LEAGUE
LOOKS GOOD
FOR LAKE CD,
Especial to THE TINES

Crown Point, Ind. Aug. 1.-THE
managers of the principal base ball
teams met at Hammond on Monday
evening to arrange their schedule of
games so as not to conflict with each
other during the balance of the season.
The advisability of forming a Lake
County base ball league was discussed
and it Is probable that steps will be
taken at the end of the season to form
a league between the principal town
teams of 9Gle county, as the managers
see a profitable enterprise in the vent
ure and an added means of creating in
terest in the game among the ans. The
local "magnates' look with favor on
the scheme and it is likely that Crown
Point will be the first to join.
