DOGS WITHOUT TAGS
REPORTED SCAR CE
However, There Is Appre-
ciable Lessening of
Homeless Ours.

According to the dog squad, COM
posed of Officers Hesterman and Carl
son, there are few unmuzzled dogs run
ming at large on the streets OF Ham
mond and might be termed "a scarce
article.' Since the dog squad was sent
ont about three weeks ago. A dogs
have bitten the dust which leaves but
a few more CANNES to be disposed of.
There are still few people in Ham,
mond who own dogs and have not taken
out licenses, but the police are round
ing them up every day and it will be
short time when they will have no
more trouble.
There was one dog owner in Ham
mond who said she would not get a
license and would put one over the
police Upon hearing of this an officer
was sent to the dog owner. who tried
to make her get away by sneaking into
the cellar. The officer spied her. and
following her down stairs, notified her
that II a license and muzzle was not
secured by o'clock the next morning
she would be hailed into the City court
OF course this was not necessary and
the party in person was at the city
hall at s o'clock sharp the following
morning.

LOCAL RAILROADS
MUCH INTERESTED

While tho proposition to establish
union freight yards at Clearing, Ill.
southwest of Chicago. will not ma
terially affect the railroads In this vi
cinity yet it Is of interest to all rail-
road men.
The new union yards will serve the
purpose of relieving the congestion in
the Chicago shipping district and
some of the local roads will find 1t a
convenience but 1t is not believed that
it will affect the plans OF the New
York Central lines In the Calumet dis
trict to eventually build an less tn IN
carload lots" freight transfer station
near Gibson.
The following is the report of the
purchase of the Clearing yards by the

B. N. ROW
PROBABLE

John o. Bowers of Gary as the latest
man mentioned for the Bull Moose con-
gressional nomination for the Tenth dis
trict, arrangements to issue a call for
a county convention to be held at Ham
mond on the last day of this month,
and the announcement that Horace
Stillwell would make the keynote at
the congressional convention to be held
some of the latest bits of information
given out from the Bull Moose camp.
Hammond Gets Convention.
County Chairman C. P. Davidson to-
day denied that he had issued any call
for a county convention However, he
stated that 1t would be issued in day
or so. Hammond will get the conven-
tion. So far there is no rush on the
part of the faithful to grab off county
offices. tom Heard of Valparaiso is
talked OF in connection with the prose
cutorship nomination
A. r. Won't BE a Goat.
Loud demands that the sheep be sep
arated from the goats in re Bull Moose
corral has split up things. A f. Knots
and Tom Knots are refeTred~-tos as
goats, but they decline the job and
demand that they continue to boss the
party.
Strong pressure is being brought
upon A. F. Knots to desire from his
congressional nomination and offer
himself up as a sacrifice by withdraw
ing in favor of John o, Bowers or Jes-
sic Wilson of Hammond Knots, how
ever, declines to withdraw and a big
row is Imminent as a result.

the Chicago and Western Indiana rail-
road company was legally consummat-
ed yesterday at a meeting of the di-
rectors of the latter company.
In this apparently simple action rail-

step toward the solution of Chicago's
greatest railroad problem-the reliev-
ing of freight congestion in the term

Chicago's traffic history and unfolds
possibilities that have been the dream
of men for more than a quarter of a
century, notably the late II. II. Porter
and A. B. Stickney, who conceived the
idea of a clearing yard where freight
