CROOK WANTED
IN CLEvEL AND NOW

Chief Austgen and the Hammond po-
lice department added another Grim
malls name to their long list of ar
rests this morning when they received
word from Cleveland. o.. that L. ].
Packard, who was arrested here a week
ago on a charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses. is wanted there
by the authorities on charges of trhee
forgeries.
A week ago Packard was arrested by
Captain Rimbach, who suspected him as
being a fake magazine agent. He was
brought to the station, where he later
confessed that he had been fleeing the
residents of Hammond and Gary out of
their money. Posing himself as q maya
zine agent for the Ladies' Home Jour
nal and the Womens World, Packard
canvassed from house to house In Ham
mond and Gary. where he collected diff
ferent amounts of money on subscrip-
lions, telling the people that he would
send the magazine and also premiums.
After his confession, Packard was
taken before Judge Reiter, where he
plead guilty. He was not sentenced
and was taken to Crown Point. where
he was being held awaiting news from
Cleveland.
This morning letter was received
from Cleveland, stating that he is
wanted there on three charges of forg-
cry. That he has wife and hwo is
receiving a pension because she is
blind. Part of this money he has beer
spending.
1t is expected that these facts will
go hard against Packard and will likel,
receive a sentence of to years or
the charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses

Contested Divorces.

Judge Virgil s. Reiter tried more
contested divorce cases last week than
he has tried in any one week in some
time. At one time he had three con-
tested divorce cases on trial, hearing
evidence in all of them, one after the
other.
The first case was that of O'Donnell
VS.. O'Donnel1, then came Pora VS.. Pora
and finally Vanes VS.. Vanes. Hereto
fore there have been but few contested
cases and most of the divorces /are
granted by default.
Practically all of the time of the
court last week was taken up with this
kind of cases.

THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY

None of the games were very close in
fact two of them were walkaways, La
fayette winning from Irving by score
of AZ to l. This was due to the fact
that the players on the Lafayette school
lineup have been practicing regularly,
while Irving made their start only
this week.
Lincoln slightly outweighed the Wal
lace school lineup and won, 16 to 1. The
Wallace team is composed of small
boys who weigh not more than rs
pounds, while the Lincoln boys weigh
close up to the league limit of 90
pounds.
The best game of the morning was
played between the Washington and
Riverside schools, resulting in a VIC
tory for the Washington school by a
score of IL to s. In the early part of
the game the score was close and It
was either teams game until the Wash
ington boys struck a batting streak in
the fourth inning and laid up enough
scores to win the game. Prohl. Harris
and Mette gave satisfaction as umpires
and their decisions were lived up to
without any dispute
The schedule for next Saturday is as
follows:
Lincoln VS.. washington at Harrison
park.
Wallace VS.. Lafayette at Morris park.
Irving VS.. Riverside az Gostlin street
grounds.
The grammar school major league
will probably open their season next
/ Saturday morning. washington. Cen
trail. Lafayette and Riverside schools
will probably compose the league.

were placed under arrest and sentenced
from one to fourteen years in the state
reformatory at Jeffersonvilie. This is
another record that has been establish
ed by the Hammond police department
since Saturday night.
Figuring on breaking into the office
of Samuel Carley over week ago,
Hayes came up town Saturday night,
where he met Howard in the Central
poolroom, where he asked Howard to
go with him and get the money.
The two young men went to the Car
ley office on Michigan avenue, when,
with the aid of skeleton key, Hayes
went inside while Howard watched on
the outside. Having worked for Carley
a driver two weeks before, Hayes
learned the combination and succeeded
in opening the safe. Ninety-five dollars
in cash was taken and also some
checks. amounting to $50. which were
destroyed. In a drawer Hayes over
looked a sum of nearly 5000 in money.
They then went to Hayes room on
Plummer avenue, where the money was
divided between them. From there
they went to the NJ. C. bridge and threw
the cash box into the river. The Cen
trail poolroom was their next stop, from
where they went to West Hammond.

More Dog Talk.

Notices are being posted around the
city by Chief Austgen TO the effect
that dog licenses are due and must be
paid by the middle of May or warrants
will be sworn out for dog owners and
prosecutions will follow. The dog
owners are being notified early enough
this year, as last year when arrests
were made some of the people COM
planned that they did not have time TO
take out licenses.
A report came to the station this
morning that a son of J. A. Lamers, SIS
Holman street, had been bitten by a
dog, but none of the particulars have
been learned. This is the fourth or
fifth victim that has been claimed in
the past three weeks and it is likely
that an order will be issued in a short
time for all dogs to be chained and
muzzled.

The Titanic disaster afforded the Rev.
C. j. Sharp of the Christian church oc-
casion to draw some deep and impress
sive religious lessons.
The sermon was preceded with a me-
mortal service last night. One of the
lessons which the minister drew from
the disaster was that it is futile for
man to rely on his own skill and power

At Morocco nine persons were crush
ed to death in the ruins of their homes
as the result of a tornado which swept
over that section of Indiana at $50
o'clock last night.
At least one other person was so
severely injured that he is expected to
die, and many others were bruised by
flying debris and falling trees.
Thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty was destroyed by what is conced-
ed to have been the worst hurricane
that ever swept over Newton County.
The storm came suddenly out of the
southwest after a beautiful spring day
and the victims were taken unawares.
Seven In One Family Killed.
The storm first struck the house of
Charles Rice several miles west of
Morocco, killing every member of the
family except Rice, and he was so
badly injured that it is feared he can
not recover.
The Rice home is a mass of ruins,
but the exact manner in which the
members of the family met their death
may never be known, as the only sur
vivor, the father. is unconscious and
unable to tell the story.

telephoned to Morocco and Kentlapd
