TRIES TO BREAK
UP HOUSEKEEPING
East Hammond Man Filled
With Mountain Dew
Grew Riotous.

John Baze of East Hammond was
arrested early this morning by Special
officer Mike Zivich of the Standard
Steel Car works after he had tried to
break up housekeeping in the rooming
house of Mary Crosse. He was brought
to the police station. where he was
booked on a charge of malicious tres
pass.
Filled with squirrel booze. John
commenced action about / o'clock, when
he awoke the boarders in the building
by his cursing and said he was going
to Kill them all. He was asked to be
quiet, but he refused and went on ours
ing as before. Soon tired OF this he left
the building, where he went to a sa-
loon nearby and filled up with more
whisky
He came back again about o'clock
when he found the door was locked
Unable to get in he used a beer bottle
as club and soon had all the window
lights out in front of the house. An
officer was then called and he was
placed under arrest
His trial came up before Judge Bar
nett this morning, where he was found
guilty and fined 50 and costs. amount
ing to $I2. Attorney G. c. White ap-
peared as special prosecutor.

amount of goods. The car contained a
consignment of clothing which was
shipped to F. H. Butcher. Battle Creek,
Mich, and upon arriving at its desti-
nation next morning 1t was found that
the car had been badly pilfered. The
shipment was made by the Hirsch-
Wickwire company of Chicago in a B..
X. & p. car. No. 347s. 1t is thought by
Chicago authorities that the goods
were stolen in the vicinity of Hammond
and Chicago after it left the yards. The
following articles were taken: Fifty
coats. 26 vests. Sc pairs OF pants. two
dozen ladies' neckties. five and a half

me largest week night congrega-
'ion and the strongest sermon of the
series of revival meetings was enjoyed
at the Methodist church last night.
The standard set up by the sermon
was on work. Nehemiah, who rebuilt
the walls of Jerusalem in So DAYS had
done so by zeal that was coined into
work. People do not work till they are
In dead earnest. Nobody wonders at
the zeal of politicians and the hurrahs
OF campaigns. Why should they be
surprised when Christians arouse to far
greater things? Men go to every kind
of sacrifice to get wealth Why should
not the saving of men be as eagerly
done as mining coal or gathering
harvest?
The always at 1t and never give up"
CHRISTIAN is the only genuine kind.
Evangelist McDonald's sermon was the
most telling one he has yet delivered.
No one can charge him with lack of
enthusiasm. He paid his respects to
theatrical seductions and to the curse
of a saloon ridden community and no
one was left in doubt about his attf-
tude. He gives battle like an on
siaught of rihemen. There will be re-
suits.
A beautiful service was rendered by
Prof. Rice yesterday afternoon At st.
Margaret's hospital he sang for Mrs.
lands, the mother of Mrs Louis Bry-
ant. The good lady IS slowly dying
with cancer and was delighted to hear
some of the songs she loved so well.
The comfort she expressed was abund-
ant pay for the kindness rendered

DR.. 7. {. BELL HAS
anniversary PARTY
Hammond Dentist Remem-
bers When Pete Meyn
Got His First Teeth.

nr I. Edwin Bell is today celebrat-
ing the twenty-five anniversary OF his
establishment in the dentistry business
In Hammond. The doctor asks that
the pubic be given the impression that
ne was very young when he started.
His first patient. the books show, was
little German boy" his next was
Peter W. Meyn and his third patient
was John Fred I<rost. This may throw
some light on the ages of these men.
Dr. Bell has documentary evidence
that they both had teeth that long
ago
Or. Bell opened an office on the
ground floor of the building that is
now occupied by Brandt's meat market
He has been in on the ground floor in
everything in Hammond since that
time
At that time Hammond was a strug-
Cling village. but like most of the early
pioneers, DR.. Bell had faith in IT and
today the growth of the city has iusti-
fled that faith.
When visited by a TINES reporter DR..
Belts office was filled with flowers
which had been presented by friends
and members of his family. He was ask
ed for statistics regarding the num-
Der of teeth he has pulled. the number
OF filings he has made, the number
OF teeth he has crowned and the num-
Der of plates he has made, the num-
Der of laughs he has got from gas.
but owing to the fact that he was very
busy with patient il was impossible
to get this information.
Today the doctor is receiving the
CONGRATULATIONS of his many friends
and his springy step. splendid good
health and jovial manner indicate that
he is still a young man in spite of his

tivity

ARMED WITH HUNTING
LICENSE-USES RAZOR
Joe Tesso Thought Parch-
ment Gave Him Permit
to Stay or Kill.

What do you think OF man who
imagfnes that because he has an old
Illinois hunting license in his pocket 1t
gives him warrant to hunt humans?
Such case developed in Judge
Prest's court yesterday afternoon. when
Joe Tesso was being tried on a charge
of drawing concealed and dangerous
weapon
Tesso thought the license would be
a strong point in his favor and he was
so sincere in his belief that he drew
the Illinois hunting license from his
pocket and handed 1t to the court
thinking 1t would give him protection
from the strong arm of the law. When
he was taking the precious document
from his pocket the Judge thought that
another razor was coming forth and
started to make a quick retreat to the
corner of the room.
But Judge Prest couldn't see where a
hunting license had anything to do
with humanity, so he assessed a fine Of
81 and costs, finding the defendant
guilty.
at the C. & o. yards, where n free
for-all fight between some italians and
Roumanians took place. The fight fol-
lowed quarrel in which the rival
nationalities took part. Unable to make
any Roadway with his fists Tesso drew
large razor from his pocket and
would have used 1t IL 1t had not been
for a hurly negro. who took him into
camp and held Tesso until the arrest
was made by Constable Huber.

REFORM ELEMENT
SURE OF VICTORY
Miss Brooks Thinks It's
Election Is Practically
Assured.

Miss Virginia Brooks says that con-
servativeiy speaking the reform tick
ct in West Hammond is gaining so
much strength that the election of
Woszczynski. Mankowski and Kamradt
is feregone conclusion.
She says that these candidates. not
only have great strength on the south
side. but they are strong on the north
side. Their success will. of course,
mean the success OF the other candf-
dates on the reform ticket
Miss Brooks is campaigning actively.
One OF her best arguments is fac sim
lie of warrant that was issued by
Treasurer Goyke of West Hammond,
which did not bear the signature of
the president of the village.
1t is said that this occurred so long
ago that criminal proceedings cannot
be instituted, but that civil action

selecting irritating subjects. II we
have to be gouged, and according to
our trust and tariff experts we do, why
not have II over with and forget 1T?
Really, we don't need the talented lee
turers of the socialist party to keep it
