man, is unjustly discharged from his
position because of a quarrel with the
foreman, and, unable TO find employ
ment and his little family reduced to
desperate circumstances, he resolves,
as last resort, to turn burglar to OBJ

Charter of City Received.

Clerk Ignatz Mankowski of West
Hammond stated today that he had re-
ceived the charter of the city of West
Hammond from the secretary of state
of Illinois.
He stated further that a petition is
being circulated by the citizens of West
Hammond calling upon the board of
trustees to call city election.
He said that according to law 1t
would be possible for any one citizen
to mandate the board to call the cleo

thwart the will of the people In this
respect but he did not believe it would
do very much good.

West Hammond Notes.

1t may perhaps be interesting to
know the opinion of the citizens in re-
gard to the new name for the new city.
Some suggest the name "Oak" on &C
count of its brevity and the many oak
trees which grow there. Some others
desire the name "Triplex" which means
three times, as the citizens had to vote
three times to transform the village
into a ETY. Many other citizens who
keep track of important historical facts
are in favor of the name "Grunwald"
on account of the 50th anniversary of
the battle near Grunwald. where the
most destructive power of the naughty
and cruel Teutonic knights was once
for ever crushed to pieces.
This morning was a funeral of little
FIVE year old j. Boncayk in st. Andrew 5
church. The deceased was a grand :
child of ex-policeman and ex-trustee
John Leszczyriski of West Hammond.
The cause of death was Group. The
assistant priest being sick Rev. p.
Nowakowski conducted the usual
funeral ceremonies.
