year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. William

The car, Chicago machine driven
by Louis Fisher, 1854 Abbott court, was
going about ten rallies an hour. and as
soon as the driven saw the little boy
run in front OF the car he applied the
emergency brakes and as a result the
child was not bumped very hard. Fish

Fandrei and gave bond for his appear
ance whenever summoned.

COUNTRY
CLUB OFFERS
INDUCEMENTS

The membership lists of the Ham
mond Country club will be open until
June Is at the $50 rate. After that the
initiation fee will be increased to SIS.
It was practically decided that only
$50 members would be taken in at $50,
but the committee will stretch a point
to let as many come in at the lower
rate as will apply before June Is.
The frame work for the roof of the
new country club is now being erected
and it looks as though the dedication
of the building would take place along
in September.
The golf links will be ready by the
1st of July and the tennis courts are
ready now. The grounds have begun
to take on the appearance of country
club and the members are enthusiastic
over the prospects.
