Thanks to the public spirit of num-
Der of Hammond men the city now has
an exhibit-the Youche collection-of
Indian relics, which for its size is prob
ably unsurpassed In Indiana. Addi-
tional value Is lent the collection by
the fact that all, or nearly all, the ma
terial in the exhibit has been gathered
in Lake county. Connoiseurs value 1t
at several thousand dollars, but in a
larger sense 1T is Invaluable to the peo-
pie of Hammond in particular. and
Lake county in general. The collection
is now on exhibition on the second
floor OF the Hammond public library.
It was brought to Hammond through
the efforts of A. Murray Turner, who
had reserved the option on II years
ago, and when Mrs. Youche of Crown
Point informed him some time ago
that she would part with 1t he accept
ed 1t without a moments hesitation,
knowing that enough men in Hammond
were willing to contribute to the fund
of $500, which was needed to secure It.
DR. w. F. Howat. a member of the IL
brary board. who like Mr.. Turner. re-
garded the collection a prize. set out
at once to raise the fund. there being
no provision in the library fund for
this.
Contributions Invited.
The collection needs but to be seen
to be appreciated and will undoubtedly
grow, as there are many people who
have one or more relics which are
buried in the private homes, but which
would add materially to the complete
ness of the public collection. In con-
nections with the latter the owner or
contributor would be given proper
creditsin the catalogue and in the show
cases.
The collection as 1t rests now in the
public library building needs to be re-
catalogued. The history of some of the
specimen is most interesting. and 1t is
hoped that much of this can be en-
bodied in the catalogue
In due time an able lecture dealing
with the collection may be heard at a
public gathering. 1t is distinctively an
Indian and Lake county collection. II
is like a chain of stone linking the
client, mysterious and unchronicled
past to the intense present. conjuring
