BUNTING!


Sanford Buhing OF DanvilIe, Ind,
dropped into Hammond the hrst OF the
week. expecting to make little easy mo-
ney. Bunting elected TO try the old
check game on Hammond folks but he
vas pretty green at it, Last May he
put s22.5o into a Danville bank and he
has been issuing checks against that
account for several weeks. Many Of
the checks were larger than the deposit.
Bunting made his fatal error when
he tried TO persuade Joe Reckler. a mem
Der of the Hammond police force. IA
cash a check for him. Joe was of duty
and did not have his Uniform on. The
Danville man offered him two dollars
to do it for him stating that he would
have trouble in cashing it himself be-
cause he was not known in Hammond.
Reckler scented trouble and took the
fellow into custody. He has an assistant
in Hammond, Floyd Martin. who resides
at Holman st. and Plummer ave Mar
tin seems to have been pulled into the
game through ignorance.
Bunting had been posing as a horse
buyer and said he had Just loaded a car
ton the Monon siding in East Chicago.
Replies have already been received from
the Danville bank and as soon as Bunt-
ings checks are returned the charges OF
issuing fradulnt checks will BE pushed.

Committee to Aid Desti-
tute Young Over There.

F. s. Betz, the Hammond n,anufac-

ness survey OF Germany early in the
summer. IS working heart and soul to
aid the American Friends Service Com
nlittee OF Philadelphia in its efforts 10
relieve soma Of the suffering which Pre-
walls in Germany and Austria.
The committee is now feeding $780,
600 children in Germany every day. .
says Mr.. Bctz. 1t is estimated that
nfteen million people will die there dur
ing the next year fer the want OF food
and clothing. Few realize how serious
it Is. Any old suit OF clothes. pair OF
shoes, and especially shoes for children
and women should be sent over
Last week at the office OF the Amer
lean Medical Association in Chicago ov-
er $1,000 worth OF clothes was collected
and turned over TO Mr.. Betz to be for
warded 10 the different factories in
Germany. He says that conditions are
frightful in Vienna which was for years
the center Of the world for art, music
and science. 1t is now described as "a
great city gradually going 10 pieces.
The leaders of culture, musicians, art
lists. writer's and teachers are forced TO
become manual laborers in order to Sc
cure the necessaries OF life. Numerous
stories are told of physical breakdown
and suicide because or lack OF proper
nourishment
Conditions in the hospitals are pitt
full according TO a report just issued
By the American Friends Service Com

are wrapped in neTspap pers for want Of

thread for darning and patching. No
one who has ever seen the magnificent
