Working on Case.

One of the most daring robberies that
has occurred in Hammond in a long
while, took place on Howard avenue

stick up men entered the. residence of
Mike Conoronutz, demanding money
from Mrs conoronutzsand thEestening
to kill her. = -
Entrance was gained by opening and
climbing through rear window and
as Mrs. Conoronutz was alone in the
house she was perfectly helpless. They
first ordered her to get them all the
money In the house and Mrs. Conornutz
informed them that she did not have
any. Not satisfied with this they
tom, turning over beds. looking into
vases and drawers and finally succeeded
in finding $3.50 in money and a silver
watch and chain. Coming across a
trunk which was locked they demanded
a key and threatened to shoot her if
she did not open it.
This Mrs. Conoronutz refused to do,
and after trying to force it open they
made their get away without being de-
tected. The police were notified at
once, but upon searching the vicinity
no trace of the thieves could be found.
They were described as follows. Young
men, shabbily dressed and about feet

So LOTS SOLD
ON NORTH SIDE
Gostlin & Meyn Active With
North Side Realty
These Days.

Gostlin, Meyn & Co has sold thirty
five lots today This is an indication
that the boom on the north side is still
in full swing. IT is believed that when
the Importance Of the canal project is
appreciated that the boom will become
evcn more pronounced. 1t may be said
to the credit of the Hammond real es-
tate dealers that the prices they are
asking for north side property is far
from being excessive and there will be
big margin of profit for those who buy
now.
But prices are continually rising and
the buyer must make his purchases now
in order to take advantage of the de-
velopment that will come this summer
Interest is being attracted to the
property of the Hammond and Subur-
ban Realty company property on the
south side. Frank Hammond, the sec
retary of the company, reports the
sale of twelve lots in this sub division
today. and it IS believed from the num-
ber of inquiries that are being made
that at least fifty more lots will be sold
in this ub-division this week
The opportunity to get this high
grade property at 10 per cent below
list prices during the next sixty days
is resulting in a lot of activity in this
sub division.
The work of grading the streets In
preparation for the street improvements
is going forward rapidly and the Ken
wood addition will look like an old set
tied neighborhood in a few months
more
A number of houses are to be built
there this summer The prices in the
i
home eking public never had a bet
ter opportunity to make purchases
Hammond today invaded by
| scores of out-of-town purchasre who
are looking for bargains 1t is expected
| that this summer hunreds of thou
sands of dollars worth of property will
| be sold to out-of-town people.

ANOTHER
SPLENDID
INDUSTRY

East Chicago has another splendid in
dustry. An industry that will make
Forsythe avenue a great business thor

morning by the Hammond real estate
firm of Gostline. Meyn & Co.
Representing the Ashbell Green es-
tate it sold twenty acres on the East

Work on the new plant will begin at
once. The south side of the tract is
bounded by the lines of the Indiana
Harbor Belt railroad which makes the
shipping facilities exceedingly good
Factories are coming in so fast that it
is difficult to keep account of them. The
new industry will employ a high grade
lot of men. 1t will do a great deal to
aid in the development of Forsythe ave-
nue. by making it an important route of
travel.
Probably the most important thing
about this deal is the fact that it calls at
;ention to the fact that there are large
number of oher splendid manufacture
ing sites in the same locality which will
soon be sold and which will result in
creating a new manufacturing district
along the Grand Calumet river.
