HAMMOND SEEMS
TO HAVE PLENTY
OF CASES ALSO

~B.tween 1000 and 1900" IS the est
mate Of city Health Officer DR.. W 4.
Buchanan on the number Of cases OF
"su" in Hammond. Although there are
= large number of cases of the flu
there has been only one death from that
cause since the first of the year, the time
that the disease began TO be prevalent.
DR.. Buchanan attributes the scarcitF
of deaths from the disease not TO the
fact that it is less v1rulent than last
YEAR but because tho people are taking
hetter care Of themselves and 20 to bed
when they first feel the "hu" coming on.
All Of the doctors in the city are being
kept busy day and night TO visit each
Of their many patients and their duties
are doubled because OF the difficulty in

Of nursing but so far only a few names
have been received.

The twenty-four hour blizzard that
sripped the Calumet region yesterday
subsided last night after IL had caused
considerable suffering, made the roads
almost impossible and badly crippled
the interurban service in and out Of the
cities.
After raging. since early Friday morn
ing. the blizzard spent itself late last
night. A. noon the wind had increased
to such a velocity that with the binding
snow. walking was almost an impossi-
bility. Automobiles were stuck here and
there on account Of the drifts. one auto
party between Gary and Crown Point
was marooned in the country all night.
Constant use OF the sweepers helped
keep the street car lines in Hammond
Whiting and East Chicago clear. al
though cars were running irregular.
Much trouble was experienced with
blocked railroad crossings and one ac-
count Of trucks becoming stalled on the
street car tracks.
The Gary Street Railway placed the
snow plows at work at an early hour
and by a determined effort the city car
tracks were kept open. although car
service became more irregular as the
storm increased.
. Interurban service was badly crippled
The drifting snow filled the cuts along
the right Of ways and in the afternoon
all interurban lines were running from
half an hour to an hour late. The Gary
& Southern. between Crown Point and
Gary. was so badly crippled that it was
predicted that the service would be sus-
pended before night if the storm had
continued.
Cars on the Hammond Gary line con-
tinued to operate. but service was slow.
Omcials of the Gary Street Railways
placed every available man at work to
keep the lines in operation.
The storm yesterday recalled the biz
zard of two years ago when the entire
region was snow-bound for three days.
