Christie in the rear. The latter stopped
his team to replace a wire on the fence,
and the animals took fright and dash
ed forward into the cultivator driven
by Mr. Christles son. He was hurled
from his seat and the two teams then
set out together and soon overlook
Hoffman and his team. He. too, was
thrown from his seat and lay uneon-
scious in the field until Mr.. Christie
could come to his assistance The three
teams did not run very far. but the
corn cultivators were considerably dam
aged
DR. Iddings was summoned and in his
machine was able to make a quick run
to his farm. An examination showed
that. Hoffman had sustained a broken
collar bone, three broken ribs and 9TH
er bruises and scratches, but it will be
some time before he will be over the
results of these.

LAKE SHORE GIVES
SHABBY TREATMENT
Hammond People Left in
Chicago Because Compa-
ny Takes Train Off.

Probably in the neighborhood of 100
Hammond people were scurrying
around Chicago last night trying to
find some way to get out of town and
return to Hammond. A lot of them
were disappointed and were forced to
stay in Chicago all night.
Without even having the decency to
notify the newspapers of the city on
Saturday that the train would be taken
off. the operating department of the
Lake Shore loop took off the 1928 sub
urban, regarded a fixture in Ham,
mond, and left scores in the Iurch.
Agent Duffner of the Nickel Plate says
that he received no official notification
of the taking off of the train and re-
sponsibility for the shabby treatment
of the roads patrons rests higher up.
Many people from other points on the
stub were disappointed. There is but
one way for the people of Hammond
to retaliate and that is TO cease patron
izing the Lake Shore whenever they
find is possible.

also growing away from the idea that
the only way Independence day can be
properly celebrated is by drinking red
lemonade and eating peanuts and run
ming around in picnic grove mixing
with a crowd until the individual is
worn out and tired. Another big factor
as far as Hammond is concerned are
the many railroads and means of trans
portation to get out of the city in al
most any direction.

had a big celebration that a change
