Trial May %.
All the speeders that were arrested
were brought to the police station
where they were booked and charged
with violating the city speed ordinance.
An appearance bond of $500 was furn-
ished in each instance and in case they
do not appear on the date of trial their
bond will be forfeited.
In an effort to put a stop to this
speed craze large signs were placed by
the Hammond police department on all
leading thoroughfares into the city.
warning the automobile drivers that
the speed limit within the city is eight
miles an hour. But seemingly their
eyes never met these signs of warning
as the drivers would throw in the gas
and burn up the roads in defiance
Yesterday Captain Hanlon thought
would be glorious day to search for
speeders, so in the vicinity of Roberts
dale and Sheffield avenue he stationed
himself. Some of the machines. would
burn up the road before approaching
him and suspectfng that he might be
an officer, they would slacken their
! speed Upon their arrest most of the
drivers denied riding over the speed
| limit or that they did not know they
were going so fast, but Captain Han
lon had his speedometer tested and il
was found to be correct.
| During the week another compaign
will be carried out against speeders, but
lit is thought when it becomes known
among the automobile owners of I'LL
nois that the Hammond police mean
business they will slacken their speed
when coming through Hammond.

Cedar Lake rode past the crowd with
the "muffler" wide open and making
noise like the roar of a railway train
and throwing out cloud of sinking
smoke. Tt was done purposefy to
drown the speaker. At the conclu-
sion of the speaking a number of wet
and dry" discussions ensued. and
few nearly lost their neads. Mr..
Brown merely took the moral side of
the whisky question.
This is the last day before the wet
and dry campaign and the opinion is
freely expressed that the urys will
win. Even the vets concede the vets
have lost. One man offered to bet a
farm against farm it is said that the
drys would win and he also wanted to
bet 500 that the drys would win by
a certain majority and he wanted to
bet another 500 that the drys would
win any way. No takers. Several
small bets are up so it is said
