SAFE AND Sane fourth
OCCURS IN HAMMOND
Not a Single Accident Hap
pens to Mar the Days
Festivities.

Owing to the war waged by the
police and the vigilance taken, the peo-
pie of Hammond spent it's first real
sane Fourth. Not an accident has been
reported SO far and is due only tpo the
fact that the dealers were notified not
to sell cannon firecrackers.
During the day a number of revolver
and canes were taken away from
number of boys. but they were from
out of town and claimed they did not
know they could not shoot.
The Hammond dealers seem to be all
satisfied, especially one who had to
pay in the neighborhood of $1,000 last
year to parents, because of injuries re-
ceived by their children, who purchased
fire arms and fire crackers of him.
Everything was quite and we can say
Hammond spent a sane Fourth of July.
The lake front park was packed and
there were fully 800 people In bath
ing. Others spent the day in Chicago,
at picnics and a large crowd at Lake
Woods park
