PETERSON PRAISES
THE TIMES SERVICE

Hon John B. Peterson, one of
the leading members of the Lake
County bar. unequivocally endors-
ed the news service that THE
TIMES is furnishing it's readers.
'It is splendid" said Peterson.
1T is going to save me a lot of
unnecessary trips to Hammond
and it is a thing that has long
been needed l have heard the
other attorneys at Crown Point
talk about it and they are all
very much pleased with the
service"
THE courts in Lake County
have become so numerous and
they are all SO busy that 1t is abb
solutely necessary to have a
service similar to that which is
furnished the lawyers of Chicago

Compelled to Enlarge Store.

Six months ago Messrs Dowdell and
Brandenburg opened the Calumet gro
Gerry and market at 271 East State
street. Success favored them from the
start, due to the policy of the firm in
buying the best meats and groceries
and giving the public what it wants
and pays Its moneH for; courteous
treatment and a square deal. Bust
ness has grown rapidly with this
firm that they will on April Is change
the name to the Globe" store adding
more floor space to their present quar-
tiers and a complete line of notions.

firm cannot fail to bring them success
in the venture.

Want To
SEE STREETS
CLOSED Up

An effort TO vacate certain streets on
the north side and forever prevent the
opening of another north and south
thoroughfare has been revealed as
result of the action of Attorneys Bonn
berger Sawyer & Curtis in filing pro-
ceedings to vacate portions of johnson
and River street and Terrence avenue
on the north side.
This is a project that has been fos-
tered by Otto Knoerzer and has been
recommended by the Hammond Bust
ness Mems association. At the present
time the only streets that connect the
north and south sides in Hammond are
Holman street and Calumet avenue
The utility of Columbia avenue is Mill
on account of the Gibson yards and the
fact that it is located on the eastern
edge of the city.
1t has been proposed by Otto Knoerz-
err. and the proposition has met with
the approval of many others that john
son street or florence avenue on the
north side should be extended SO that
it would connect with Sohl street and
oakley avenue on the south side. In
this manner a new connection between
the widely separated sections of the
city would be established.
But the proceedings that have been
started by Bomberger, Sawyer & Cur
tbs would forever put an end to these
plans and would make it necessary for
Hammond to content itself with but
two thoroughfares to the north side.
The proceedings are entitled I'm the
matter of F. s Betz VS.. the Simplex
Railway Appliance company for the
vacation of - certain streets" The

he got up again and resumed an up

take OF a human being who has lost
his or her trousers, as the case may
be. and he followed the COW, saying
"co-boss" In the most pitiful accents.
The COW looked around, and as she
did so the pants caught on a sapling
and were pulled of her horns and
dropped upon the ground. The pious
man looked upon this as a direct in
terpositlon OF Providence. He got
into his trousers so quick that II made
his head swim, and just as the crowd
at the asylum had come down to the
gate to see what strange looking calf
was following the COW home. the man
started on run for town, leaving the
shirt with the COW.
The people at the asylum have the

will never call for II. One sleeve is
chewed of. and the bosom is rent
with conflicting emotions and cows
