Recognition OF the strategic oppor-

has resulted in Hammond primarily 10
the boys favor. for that is the prime
factor behind the boys dinner next
Saturday evening a els in the base

boys dinner in Hammond Is a real In
novation-in fact. It is the first time
such a stunt has ever been held in the
state of Indiana under the auspices Of
the state association. From the pros
poets already bright for success it is
fairly certain. it is said, that the fea-
ture will be continued at other state
conventions.
notable change in attitude has
taken place within association ranks in
regard to boys Formerly boys rooms
and dormitories were placed on the

MURDERER CLAIMED
HE LIVED IN HAMMOND
Police Hear Of Arrest of
John Androvich at Buff
falo, N. Y.

The Hammond police We're notified
by THE TINES yesterday that a man
giving his name as John Androvich
had been arrested in Buffalo for mur-
der. Androvich claimed that he had
come to Buffalo two months ago from
Hammond. The murder is said to have
taken place in Monroe, Mich, and
Androvich has been turned over to
Michigan officers The police here
have no record whatever of Andro-
vich and do not know him. Efforts to
find definite information of the alleged
murderer, who said he left Hammond
because he learned in the newspapers
that the police were after him. have
been futile.

SLIM BAGS
BROUGHT IN

Although there are plenty of duck
hunters at Wolf and Mud Lakes every
day nimrods are finding duck hunting
the poorest that It has been in years.
The only account that is given for this
is the late fall and that the majority
of the water fowl have not reached
this far south. A number OF focks
of mallards have been seen, but few
of them have been dropped.
In past years where three hunters
could easily bag so mallards. now a
good days hunt does not consist of over
ten ducks. and that is putting It high.
Three or four ducks have been CON
sidered good mornings hunt. Hunt
ers near crown Point are reported to
be shooting a numher Of wild geese.

YES, THEY WERE
INDIGNANT


This IS a story of the evolution of
story. A case was filed in the Lake
superior court. The case was entitled
Mary Marchant VS.. Gottlieb Mauser.
Mrs. Marchant is a daughter Of Mr..
Mauser and ON account of his enfeebled
condition sought to have a guardian ap-
pointed for him
Now it so happens that the young
man who is employed in reportorial
capacity on a local paper made a note
or the fling OF this case. His notes were
very loosely written.
ones notes are likely to become more
illegible the colder they get. His notes
got very cold. In fact. he could not read
them. He thought they read Marchant
vs.. Marchant. He guessed it was di-
vorce case
Dtvprce cases are a good deal alike
IT required some work to go back to the
court house and re-read that complaint
1t would be much easier to write the
story Of a divorce suit. So much easier.
Besides divorces are much more in
tereslIns than ordinary guardianships.
Much more interesting.
SO the languid reporter wrote a nice
interesting divorce yarn. Gee, but it
made the Marchants sore. They called
up the big boss and told him where to
head in at The lanquid reporter was
interested when he heard the outcome
of the tilt. Mildly interested.

ward calm that was surprising in the
face Of the ordeal through which he
was passing.
Mrs. Cravens retained consciousness
until she was placed on the operating
table. The story of the shooting was
told by her without fiinching She was
exceedingly gritty.
HE REFUSED TO TALK.
The boy refused to talk to his father
or to the police. He remained on the
stretcher for two hours after he ar
rived at the hospital while the doctors
were operating on his step mother.
He had nothing TO say then and did
not seem to be suffering, although
the bullet had passed through his body
close to his heart The only words he
said were at the time preparations
were made to put him on the operating
table when he said. III get over there"
However he was too weak and had o be
lifted.
RELIEVE HE Is DEMENTED.
The belief is being freely expressed
in Hammond that Frank Cravens, who
murderously assailed his stepmoiher
this morning, is of unsound mind. That
is the most charitable view that is TAX
en- of the deplorable affair. There is
abundant support Of this theory. His
mental condition might not be called
insanity. but it is a sort of a paranoia.
Stree he lost his leg in the stone quarry
of Dolese & Shepherd at Thornton sew
1 eral years ago he has been the victim
OF constant mental depression.
OF RESERVED TEMPERAMENT.
He frequently declared that he was
Of no use in the world To the public
at large he seemed reserved. He seldom
ventured remark on any subject.
His father offered TO send him to
school, but he did not care about that.
Then he went to work, and in few
weeks was brought home with, one leg
mashed of.
FATHER CARED DEEPLY.
Attorney Cravens gave him every care
and a tremendous amount of consider
alton He visited him in the hospital.
sympathized with him over his loss and
I made him believe that he could still be
very useful in the world.
He took him into his law office and
had him sit with him in law cases
which he had on trial. Then finally he
paid his expenses for a course in the
Observation-Disclosures College of Law. He
seemed at all times to he greatly in
terested in tn boys welfare.
In fact, no father could have done
more for son. And no son owed more
to his father than Frank Cravens. This
is what is apparent to all who know
the facts that there must have been
some mental arrangement or the crime
would nevr hay ben committed.
Is HIGHLY ESTEEMED.
Mrs. Grace Cravens the wife of At
torney l. y Cravens, is highly esteemed
in this community. She has taught a
Sunday school class in the Methodist
church ever since she has been in Ham
mond-
She is regarded as a mild tempered
and most lovable woman by all who
know her She is highly Intellectual
and was engaged in charity work be-

DANGEROUS PRACTICE.
Boys Set Brakes on Trains to SET
Train Stalled.

In order that they may have the
extreme pleasure of seeing train
STALLED" young boys of the city are
indulging in dangerous practice. ac-
coriing to railroad men-dangerous.
not only to themselves. but to passen-
gers.
The principal offending is reported
from Story City branch trainmen out of
this city. The boys are in the habit of
boarding the trains in the yards, and
while they are pulling out the lads set
the brakes. either on top or by releasing
the air on some car. just to see the
train stop Sometimes trains have
stopped with altogether too much sud
denness as result Of the air being
set. It is this that might prove dan
gerous to passengers on the train. To
the boys themselves the greatest dan
ger lies In their getting on and off the
trains while in motion.
Sunday evening Story City branch
train was stopped while pulling out of
town by the youngsters who set the
brakes. The boys gave the train crew
"the laugh" when the cause was dis
covered after search Of the entire
train to see where the air had been
cut
