the resulting knowledge, and the tech

Remains Identified.

The remains of the unidentified man
which were found OF the right of way
of the Michigan Central tracks at Ivan
hoe by a freight crew Monday morning
were identified this morning as being a
man by the name of Miller who was
employed in Hammond about a year
ago. For some time he was employe ed
at Whitaker & Wells livery stable
and Carter's saloon on State street.
where he was known by the name of
shorty. About a year ago he left Ham
mond and has not been seen or heard
of since until his remains were found
Monday.
Undertaken Neidow first identified the
man and to make sure he had friend
of the dead man come to Hammond and
identify him. Although he went by the
name of Miller it is not believed that
this is his right name 1t S thought
that Miller. has brother living in
Pittsburg, but he was not located. The
remains will be taken to Hessville this
afternoon for burial.

DOGS RUN At
LARGE: AND BITE
Two Hammond People New
Victims of Vicious
Brutes.

If you own a dog and do not want
to be arrested and avoid prosecution
you had better take out a license on or
before May 18th, is the orders that
come from the police headquarters this
morning, when a dog war will COM
Last year over 500 licenses were TAX
en- out in Hammond, and so far this
year only 224 have been recorded at
the city hall This only gives the dog
owners fifteen more days, as at the end
of that time warrants will be sworn
out for delinquent dog owners
majority of those who were ar
rested and fined last year complained
of not having time enough to take out
licenses and that they did not know
the date had run out, but this year no
excuse will be accepted like this and
warrants will be served on everybody
alike.
Two persons were bitten by savage
dogs since Monday of this week, and
there is hardly a day goes by unless a
report comes into the police station to
that effect. Frank Buerner, employed
as a collector in Hammond, and Leon
ard Klebs were the victims. Although
the wounds were not serious both took
| the necessary prscaution and had the
| wounds cauterized Leonard Klebs, EN-.
ployed by THE TIMES, was bitten by q
dog owned by J. Fl. McClay after he haC
| been told the dog wouldn't bite him.
Every day the dog ordinance is be-
| ing violated in Hammond, and instead
OF keeping their dogs chained, a they
should. residents of Hammond allow
their dogs to run at large the
streets, and as a result a dozen people
have been bitten in the past tive
weeks.
Luckily none of the wounds have
proven fatal this year, but why need {
lesson of this kind. Keep your dog:
chained up or muzzled as now is th'
time to prevent any serious case.

NEW CHURCH
SUBMITTED

Plans for the new $4,000 Baptist
church, which is to be erected this
year, will be submitted to the Baptist
congregation at its regular mid-week
meeting this evening, and it is expect
ed that in view of the fact that the
trustees have caused them to be
changed three times. that final action
can be taken this evening
The plans were drawn by the firm of
Bump & Berry, and provide for a build
ing which is arehitecturally perfect
The new edifice is to be built of brick,
with terra Gotta trimming, and is to be
ornamented with stained glass win
dows. In style it is to be romanesque,
which will be emphasized by the dome
of the building, the top of which is to
be sixtyfve feet from the floor.
One of the most attractive features of
the new building will be arranged in
the basement where a gymnasium.
banquet hall, social rooms and kinder
garten are to be provided
Seating Capacity 1,000.
Another strong feature of the church
will be the interior arrangement of the
building, which is planned so as to the
seating capacity for the whole congre-
cation within range of the pulpit. or if
it is preferred to conduct the Sunday
school classes separately from the serv-
Ices In the main auditorium
The lot on which the church is to be
erected has south frontage on Sibley
street of $50 feet The proposed build
ing is to set back about eighteen or
twenty feet from the lot line.
Some of the interior arrangements
are follows:
AT the main entrance there is to be a
reception 16x50 feet and leading from
this is a check room for go-carts, BIZ
cycles. etc.
The main auditorium is to have a
eating capacity of $50, and this is to be
surrounded by the class roooms, which,
including the gallery and the auditori-
UNI, will have seating capacity of l.
600 people.
VIII BE City Ornament.
The exterior length of the building
is to be 90 feet and the width is to be
80.
Altogether it will be an edifice of
which not only the congregation, but
the whole city of Hammond may we'll
be proud. The Rev. Floyd Adams, pas
tor of the congregation. has proven
himself to be an interchangeable worker
for the congregation, and to him as
much as to any one is due much of the
credit for the harmonious work in the
congregation, which is manifesting it
self in the building project
