Yesterday Sheriff Thomas Grant was
in town in company with Deputy
Sheriff Furman but both denied that
they were here in connection with the
alleged bomb disaster.
Every evidence points to the fact that

SHARP NOSES FIND
ANOTHER FIERCE SMELL
Globe Rendering Company
Was Not the Offender
This Time.

Hammond people who shifted at the
pungent atmosphere last evening noted
that the wind came from the north
east. This indicates that the officials
of the Glode Rendering company are
right when they say that all of the
bad doors which are waited TO Ham
mond are not from their plant.
The Globe Rendering Co. is located
southwest of the city and the smell
could not have come from that place
with the wind coming from the north
west.
Secretary f. T. Johnson of the Ham
mond Business Mems Association has
been sleuthing for smells for some time
and gleefully noted that new and en- :
tirely different pungency was noted In
the smell that pervaded Hammond last
night and today. Steps will be taken
to eliminate the doors.
