this week, Captain Rimbach received
a letter from the Curtis Publishing
company of Chicago this morning to
the effect that a sum of $25 is being

dents of Hammond and Gary out of a
large sum of money. Posing as an
agent for the Ladies' Home Journal and
the Woman's World Packard collected
9s cents for a years subscription for
the Ladies' Home Journal and % cents
on the Woman's World. He then
promised the people he would send the
magazine. which would be followed by
a premium.
The letter praised the Hammond po-
lice force very highly for their effi-
cient work and was written by Mr..
Hall. who represents the Curtis Pub
fishing companys interests In Chicago.
Instead of rewards being turned over
to any one individual it is put into tho
police pension fund.
