ON the fact that Kerr struck the priso-

Kerr declares he was provoked to do
so az the prisoner declared he would
kill him.
The cutting occurred at the corner II
Chicago and Olcott avenues. Officer
Kerr was sanding in front of the
Maine restaurant when his attention
was attracted by the screams of a
woman in front of Eschenbach's bak
cry. He saw man standing at the
corner. bleeding profusely while an
other man was running away from
him, and turned the corner down Oh

to halt. The shots had the desired

THREATENING BLAZE
Confiagration in Tailor Shop
in Rimbach Block Was
Dangerous.

The efficiency of the Hammond fire
departments was again proven yester-
day morning when they made a quick
run to the Rimbach building where a
small blaze had gained Roadway on the
second floor of the office building.
From some' unknown cause fire
started in the tailoring establishment
of G. Wor1xinger, room g about $50
o'clock yesterday morning. With the
best of material to feed up, such as ..
small bed, suits and other clothing,
the flames had a god start and by the
time the departments arrived the
flames had nearly Quilted the contents
of the rom.
Working like Trojans the firenen
extinguished the blaze by the use of
the chemical wagon and had it been
many more minutes, there would have
been a stubborn fire to contend with

way through the neighboring offices

Will amount to has not been estimated.
but it is supposed that it will amount
in the neighborhood of $500. Every
thing in the tailor shop was burned.
Mr. Workinger being Unable, to save
an article.
Mr.. Workinger stated this morning
that he did not have the slightest idea
OF what could have started the blaze.
II was in the office fifteen minutes be-
fore and / did not smell smoke or see
the slightest trace of fire. There was
galosine stove in the room but 1t
is not thought that the fire was caus-
ed by that"
Much praise has been extended to
the fire department for their hard
work. those who witnessed the
blaze. consider it was lucky that the
fire did not prove disas trous.

performances. matinee and night. the
house again broke all records for re-
ceipts.
~The show was well staged. The COM
pany was first class in every particular
and the music was fair There a
large attendance at the matinee and
the house was packed for the evening
performance.
Bud Fishers Mutt and JEFF were
an exact reproduction of the characters
that have become so familiar in the
newspaper cartoons. A tall thin man
played the part of Mutt and JEFF was
not over three feet tall.
The house was kept in g. roar of
laughter most of the time at the an
tics of JEFF, who seemed to be possess
sed of great sense of humor in spite
of his abnormally small stature.

ANOTHER MAN
MAKES CONFESSION
Asthma, Cough and Sore Lungs That
Had Existed For Years Cured
In A Very Short Time.

And still another man tells Of his
experience of taking treatment of DR.
Leedy. who has his office in suite 81
and SO Rimbach building over the Lion
Store. Hammond, Ind. 1t was said
DIR. .Leedy could show more testi-
monials from satisfied patients that no
has treated than any ten doctors In
Lake county. One thing certain. you
never heard any one say that they
were suffering from any had after
effects of surgery poorly done any
harmful effects of any OF his numer-
GUS sanitariurn treatments. Connect
this fact with the numerous testi-
monials you have read in this paper,
from patients whom he has treated
and the reason of his large practice
becomes evident. Read what Mr.. Dilts
of Michigan avenue has to say:
Il have for years had a cough that
was very troublesome to me. 1 had 1t
so long that / had become accustome
to 1t and thought / was to have it the
rest of my life. In the last few months
1T had become much worse that
could scarcely stand it. / would cough
violently until 1 would choke. my chest
would become SO tight that / could
scarcely get my breath at all. Finally
friend of mine who was taking treat
ment of DR.. Leedy. induced me to come
to him. The change has indeed been
remarkable. The cough is practically
all gone and / can go to bed and sleep
like a normal man. The tightness in
my chest which the other doctors call
ed asthma, is all gone and the soreness
is all out OF my chest. The local treat
ments which the doctor gave my nose
and throat. the Initiation of sthe gas
called Oxyoline and the medicine that
DR.. Leedy gave me. has indeed done
wonders for me.

ABOUT
JACOBS STORY
Police Place Little Credence
in Yarn About
Holdup.

Harry Jacobs. $50 Ash street, Ham
mond notified the police last night
that he had been the victim of hold
up last night, in which a lone robber
knocked him down and robbed him of
three dollars which he claims to have
had in his possession. Upon investi-
eating the case the police found Jacobs
at his home in intoxicated condition
and at present they are dubious abou.
the truth of his story.
Jacobs said that he was on his way
home and as he neared the corner of
the alley on Ash street, a short dis
lance from his home, a lone stick up
man sprang at him from the darkness
and knocked him down.
