things that have already been accom-
plished by the Hammond Chamber of
Commerce John E. Fitzgerald told of
work that he and two other members
had done in eliminating the opposition

the papers recently.

The meeting developed Into a very
interesting session. There were a large
number of representative citizens pres
emit Lots of good suggestions were
made. The discussion of the emigra-

tory to the local manufacturers.

when he was being tried on a charge
of drunkenness.

honor, 1 am a sailor and my home is

Don't you think you are a little to
far inland to be sailing asked Judge
Barnett who then found Mozojeski
guilty, imposing a fine of 800 and
costs amounting to s11- Unable to pay
he will be taken to Crown Point to :
day in default of payment.
This is the second drunk, claiming
to be a sailor who has been arrested in
the last few days and the police are
beginning to think this is a port of
small schooners, with sea foam on the
top deck. This being carnival week
there are a large number of strangers
and suspicious looking characters in
Hammond and the police have been
warned to keep a sharp watch on all

mittee of thirty" the men VINO have
financed the Country Club. will meet
to take up the question of membership.
The membership roll will be gone
over and those who have made appli-

and more transparent than in any other
city in the state. There's reason and
1t is to be found in the foresight of citi-
zens who advocated and promoted the
policy of oil sprinkling now being car
ried out. The wagons of John Prohl.
teamng contractor, are being employed
each day in administering the first dose
of oil to the streets OF Hammond No
other Indiana city has been as progress
sive.
Naturally you would suppose that
property owners would be entirely sat-
listed. But in their usual, wide awake
inquisitive fashion they are finding
fault, not with the system but its appli-
!cation. Prohl is carrying out his con-
tract in every detail, but not to the lik-
ing of certain worthy residents
The complaint is that it is too long
between visits. People recommend that
only one side OF road be oiled at a
time and the other left until another
visit. That would mean that the inter-
mission would be made just half the
time.

FAMILY HAS A
NARROW ESCAPE
Four Near Death When
Trapped on Trestle Be-
tween E. G. and Gary.

One of the narrowest escapes from
shocking injury or death happened to
the family of E. Harness of Indiana
Harbor on Sunday, who were picking
flowers between East Chicago and
Gary.
With his wife and three children,
Mr.. Harness was crossing the South
Shore interurban trestle, east of the
city, after he had asked the f1agman
if 1t was safe to cross. Receiving a IA
vorable reply, the family was told that
there wouldn't be another car along for
twenty minutes. The family started on
the trestle and had reached the middle
of the structure when the limited
whistled. Harness seized two of his
children frantically and tried to get on
the side OF the rail. while the mother
with the other child flew for the end
of the trestle. She did not have time
to reach her destination, but by the ap-
plication of all his air the motorman
was able to bring hi scar to a stop
within a few inches of the frightened
little party. Mr.. Harness is employed
in the Inland mills at the Harbor.

LOOK! GARY HAS
AN HONEST MAN!

For the first time in the history of
the Gary police department a Gary man
came to the station and asked them TO
help him find the loser of some money
he had found.
George w. Ebert. "a West Eleventh
avenue, is the man who found the mon
ey and of course he is not disclosing
the amount. Mr.. Ebert found the mon
ey at Sixth avenue and Broadway.

found some money Capt. Newman near

Jarnigan did not reply. He felt
a strange wave of pity sweep over
him. Then, methodically, as
usual, he made out a new book,
and presented it with the neces-
sary documents to the girl.

thanked him in low tone, and he
watched her graceful form clear
to the doorway.
Somehow the incident fingered
in the mind of the bank man.
Somehow, too, he hoped the girl
would come again. Several days.
passed by, and one morning an
elderly lady presented a check for

receiving teller sent her to Mr..

felt conscious flush, tell Miss
Dalziel I will send the cash by
messenger, who will explain to
her how she may %. K her
checks, so there will be no further
trouble when they come in.
Ali that afternoon Jarnigan
was in a strange mood. He went
to the bank files and got the card
address of the fair depositor. He
caught himself thinking of her in
the very midst of important bust
ness. Then he arrived at decis-
ion. He would take the money to
Miss Dalziel himself. Why not?
Everything about the little fiat
and its two occupants bespoke
refinement as Jarnigan entered
the Lalziel apartments. He was
asked to sit down. Before he
knew it his mission of business
ended in an hours stay.
Miss Dalziel told a pitiful
story. Her brother, Ernest, had
been for years the trusted en-
ploye of a large diamond house.
One day he was arrested. Forty
thousand dollars worth of gems
were found missing. Dalziel was
accused. A few small diamonds
were found in his desk, placed
there by some one, he declared.
The stolen gems were not found,
and he was sentenced to the peni-
tertiary for ten years.
