NEW Residential
DISTRICT IS OPENED

A movement of considerable pro-
portions looking towards the develop
mentof new high class residential
district to the southward of Hammond
has developed during the past few
weeks.
W. G. Paxton has purchased three
pieces of acreage on either side of
South Holman street and has disposed
of number of two-acre pieces to his
friends.
He purchased six acres in the south
half of the weis farm and will erect
thereon a suburban home to cost not
less than $4,000. He will employ an
expert landscape gardener to lay out
the grounds surrounding his home. and
will undoubtedly have one of the most
beautiful homes in Hammond.
Originally he intended to build a fine
home on South Holman street between
Elizabeth and Highland streets, but he
was unable to have the alley set back
so as to give the lots the required depth
and so this plan was abandoned.

MADE HIM
ANGRY TO
LOSE GRIP
But Joseph Kubisz of Indi-
ana Harbor Refused to
Squeeze Out a Single Tear
Because of the Loss of His
Eloping Wife.

Some men certainly think a whole
lot of their suitca.ses.
Joseph Kubisz of Indiana Har5or
lost a wife and SIS suitcase at one and
the same time Sunday morning.
Joseph Kubisz's wife eloped with his
brother Stanley. twenty-one yeNrs old.
The suitcase went with the elopers.
Now, Joseph, kubisz did not care
very much for the loss of his heipmeet
but he did mourn the loss of his So
suitcase. The more he thought OF the
nerve" of the elopers in running away
with his cherished article of baggage
the more angry he grew Then he
went on the run to the police station.
My wife and my brother have run
away together" he shouted. They've
gone to South Chicago. / want them
arrested"
The eloping pair was arrested on
alighting from a train at South Chi
scago. A little later Joseph Kubisz ap
peared at the police station.
What charge shall we make against
these people?" asked the police officer.
pointing to the wife and her brother
in-law.

with robbery said Kubisz. pointing to
his brother. Not word against his
wife.
That's why the eloping wife was
freed and that's why the brother must
stand trial on a charge of larceny.

POLICEMAN PUT
UNDER PEACE BONDS

Fred Camp. West Hammond police
officer was discharged from the force
by Chief Barnie Johnston arrested on
a warrant issued in Judge Frank
Green's court. charged with disorderly
conduct, prosecuted in Judge Charles
Wittenburg's court in Burnham, where
his wife told of his cruelties, placed
under peace bonds for one month and
forced to pay the costs in the case.
That is the result of charges which
were brought against him by his wife
The evidence which was brought out
in the trial of the case indicated that
Mrs. Camp had been the victim of IN
human cruelties and that she was COM
PEELED to stand for them on account of
her religion which prevents her from
getting a divorce
Under the circumstances she took the
only course that was open to her and
had her husband placed under peace
bonds. Those who are acquainted with
the case, say that it is a pitiful one

OFFICIALS
ARE SERVED
WITH WR|TS

The members OF the village board of
West Hammond were all served by
Cook county deputy sheriffs with a
subpoenae to appear on the 9Th Mon
day in September in the superior court
in Chicago and show cause why they
should not set an earlier day for the
city election.
The case will be bitterly contested
on both sides. 1t is understood that
the village officials who have been de-
flying the citizens have employed the
best attorneys and the citizens COM
mittee of West Hammond will employ
good attorneys.
1t is believed that the trial of the
case will bring out some interesting
facts about conditions in West Ham
mond. There may be some evidence Of
fered TO show that the present village
officials are not only. unwilling to do
the wishes of the people, but are also
actually grating.
These facts will be submitted as
tending to show that the election be
called right away, so that the present
officials can be ousted before they have
depleted the village treasury.

PROMISING
BUILDING
ACTIVITY

Judging from the number of in
quiries that have been made at the va
rious architects offices in Hammond
this fall and next spring is to see the
greatest building activity that Ham
mond has ever known.
One architect has 100000 worth of
new work on the boards. Some of 1t is
TO be built this fall and the rest is to
be constructed next spring.
Regardless of the temporary busi-
ness depression the building, activity
in Hammond is growing apace. One
architect estimates that the building in
Hammond next year will amount to
81 100000
Some big projects are in the wind.
Some of them are definitely decided
upon. providing they can be financed.
Others are merely in an embryo stage.
lack of agitation in labor circles
is one encouraging feature. The labor
unions, following their arraignment
last spring, have proven that they can
, be reasonable and people are beginning
to have confidence in the prospect for a
peaceful future.

people are looking southwark for high

He said that all that would be done
the first day would be to go through
