MEMBERS OF CREW
MUST PUT UP FIGHT
Railroad Company Will Not
Stand by Insolent
Trainmen.

The state case the Chicago, Indi
ana & Southern railroad charged with
holding a crossing on Holman street
for nearly fifteen minutes last We'd
nesday will come up before Judge Ames
some time Monday
The c., /. & S. railroad has given out
orders to the train crew to appear at
the trial and will compel them to pay
their own fines and fight the case.
Captain Rimbaeh made out the. .affida-
Wit against the c.. /. & S. for E. F. John
ston of the Hammond Business Mems
association, who made the complaint
to the police. The train crew will also
probably be brought up for resisting an
officer when the officer compelled
them to cut the crossing.
The law requires a freight train,
whether in the city or country, to cut
a crossing Immediately upon stopping
the train. A passenger train can hold
crossing fifteen minutes.

Elevator Is Destroyed.

Lowell. Ind. June 17.-Lightning.
which heralded the biggest wind and
rainstorm ever seen in these parts.
struck the four-story brick elevator
and grist mill near the Monon depot at
o'clock this morning and a coniia-
grafton followed which destroyed and
gutted the interior of the big struc-
ture. The volunteer firemen were un-
able to stay the progress of the flames
which shot out of the building after it
was struck. But for the heavy rain
which fell the fire would undoubtedly
have spread to the adjacent buildings.
Trees were torn out by the roots dur
ing the storm and wires laid waste.
The rain precipitation was over two
inches and did great damage to grow
ing crops. Belated reports continue to
come in of the great damage done
elsewhere in the vicinity.

REFUSE TO
LET DOG
BE KILLED

No action has as yet been taken to
determine whether the dog which last
Wednesday bit Bernard Gillis, a school
boy, residing at 798 Sohl street, is mad
or not
The owners of the dog, who are
neighbors to the Gillis, regard the ami
NAL as a household pet, and say that it
has never shown any viciousness and
that it is apparently well, and that the
ellis boy teased ii in passing the AMI
NAL. The father of the boy has come
to the police station and insisted that
the dog be killed, but. upon question
ing, stated that his object was not to
ined for signs of rabies. and to en-
cent for this. The owners of the dog.
wishing to be reasonable, said they
would sacrifice 1t If its brain was to be
examined in order to set the boy and
his family at rest. but they refuse TO
have the pet killed merely because Mr..
Gillis requests it. They argue that If
no laboratory examination is to be
made any way it would be advisable
to let it live to see IL hydrophobia de-
velops.
The police say that the owner of the
dog has 1t licensed and muzzled and
keeps it on the premises. and that un-
der the circumstances they are not per-
mitted to kill. Captain Rimbach, who
| called at the house to make inquiry
! said the dog met him at the door and
| jumped at him in playful manner and
that apparently 1t is not sufferink from
| any disease.

c. |. ( S.
HAS GOOD
SLOGAN

Avoid Personal Injuries That is
the slogan that has been taken up by
the employees of the Chicago, Indiana &
Southern railroad in ~thi siocality.
"As a result" said George Hannauer
of the Chicago, Indiana & South rail-
road, there has not been a single seri-
Gus accident in two months"
Acting on the belief that a great
many accident to railway employees are
due to their own carelessness a cam
paign against personal injury accidents
has been started.
The idea is to have the employees
keep constantly in mind the fact THAT
their lives and limbs are in danger.
The men become accustomed to
danger that they become careless and
accidents result
A Canstnna Reminder.
But by constantly reminding them
that danger is imminent that they
must be careful the number of acci-
dents is minimized. Whenever ac-
cident occurs the railway officials in
auire into it carefully and in this way
they are able to determine the exact
manner in which it happened and warn
the other employees against carlessness
which might have similar result.
If the railroad company is to blame
the matter is taken up with the proper
authorities and the cause of the acci-
dent and any other similar ones is at
once removed.
1t is a decided loss TO the company
when a valuable man is injured TO say
nothing of the large amounts of money
that are expended in the settlement of
claims for damages so that the com
pany is as much concerned as the men
in the prevention of accidents.
This is in line with the policy of all
railroads to save money where ever IL
Is possible. The humanity of the idea
also appeals to the officials of the road
more than would be suspected and a
talk with the officials reveals the fact
that they are delighted with the re-
suits that have been attained by the
present crusade. Buttons have been
prepared which the railroad men wear
and the inscription, Avoid Injuries
helps to remind them of their danger.

but had there been road such as is
now proposed he would not have en-
tered what proved to be his death trap.
Practically all the land for the pro-
posed highway is owned by Mr.. Jar
necke, and the object of the conference
was to learn whether he would deed
the land without requiring all the legal
formalities which would mean delay.

in Flames; Crown Point
Also Affected.

Lake county was visited by tre-
mendous electrical storm about 3
o'clock this morning which did an i'm
mense amount of damage AT both
Lowell and Crown Point lightning in
flicted building losses. The heaviest
downpour of rain in a given time that
ever fell in the county followed the
electrical storm, which was accom-
panied by a gale that uprooted trees
and laid things waste in general. So
heavy was the rain that in many places
growing crops were completely washed
out of the ground

VOTING
MACHINES
CONSIDERED

At its meeting. which was held In
Hammond, the county commissioners
and the members of the county council
listened to arguments in favor of vot-
ing machines.
A representative of the company
which manufactures these machines
was present at the meeting and ex-
planned their advantages The county
officials did not seriously consider the
matter of purchasing them at the pres
ent time, but will probably take up the
question later.
An expression of opinion was secur-
ed from only one of the county ceun-
cilmen and he stated it to be his opin-
ion that the machines would be a great
time saver and would prevent fraud.

MAY HAVE TO PAY.

James Oakley Koontz, who was re-
Gently fined S. and costs, amounting to
thirty dollars, in Judge E P, Ames'
court, having produced a stay of ex-
ecution bond, has. according to the
opinion of some of the lawyers who
discussed the case, cut off his avenue
for appeal. and the probabilities are
that either he or his bondsman, w. S.
Wells. will have to pay the fine after
an expiration of ninety days.
Originally Koontz asked for an ap-
peal and Judge Ames set his bond at
$500 When the bond was filed, how
ever. it proved to be a stay of execu-
tion bond, and before Koontz could get
around to 1t his time for filing an ap-
peal bond had expired On the advice
of Deputy Prosecutor Ross Judge Ames
now refuses to accept an appeal bond.
