THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES

BECKER ISSUES ffil ULTIMATUM Declares Before the Manu factures He Won't Help Police Department. In the face of the fact that a Hammond policeman was compelled to carry a drunken fellow to the police station in a wheel barrow with tho bloody riot at Gibson still fresh in the minds of the people of tills city in spite of the fact that the present police department 13 working at times almost desperately in order to cover the large amount of territory that must be policed in Hammond, Mayor Becker last night delivered what might be considered an ultimatum regarding the needed increase of patrolmen and police equipment when he said that so long as he was mayor of Hammond not one dollar would be spent for the Metropolitan police department in Hammond that the law did not require him to spend. It was apparent to the members of the Hammond Manufacturers' association to whom his remarks were addressed that the mayor meant what he said and after the banquet many of them discussed other means that might have to be taken to provide the much needed extra police. In fact thi3 part of the mayor's speech, which was not on the program, was one of the chief topics of conversation after the banquet and the troubulous times when the mayor and the other opponents of the Metropolitan police law tried to help through the McCullough bill were recalled and the whole question again becomes a live issue. The question was brought up when one of the speakers made the remark that It was decidedly beneath the dignity of a police officer to haul a drunk to the station in a wheel barrow. Little did he think that his remark would open up that whole big question, but the mayor took him up and his ultimatum followed. One or two of the other of the speakers tried to persuade the mayor that perhaps he was a little prejudiced in the matter and challenged him to substantiate liis statement that tho police department was not giving him the cooperation necessary to the enforcement of the city ordinances. There was no ill feeling over the matter but the mayor got on record and the manufacturers are discussing the matter pro and con today. II AUTO VICTIM Tries to Cross Michigan Avenue at Twelfth Street and is Knocked Down. Twenty minutes after he had left the bedside of his wife, who is ill at the Mercy hospital, R. II. Deegan, 67 years old, a retired merchant of Griffith, Ind., was run down by an automobile at Michigan avenue and Twelfth street, and suffered injuries that necessitated his removal to St. Luke's hospital. His right arm and three ribs were fractured, and he is thought to be internally injured. Deegan, in attempting to avoid be ing struck by a southbound automobile, stepped in front of the machine operated by Frederick Bode, 5827 Washington avenue, president of the Gage Bros, millinery establishment. Mr. Bode Explains Accident. "I failed to notice Deegan until he was directly in front of my machine," said Mr. Bode. "Although I shut off the power, I was unable to stop in time. Had not Deegan become confused by the southbound automobile, I do not believe it would have happened." Mr. Bode was not arrested, the po lice being satisfied that he was not to blame. "I do not thing I am hurt seriously," said Deegan, 'but Lam afraid that, should my wife learn of the accident, the shock may prove serious. She was to have left the hospital in the morning. Kindly see thats he Is not noti fied of the affair." I will be all right in a few days." Wolves Cause Heavy Loss. It is estimated that from 10 to 20 per cent of the calves of the cattle ranges in the Rocky mountain states are killed each year by wolves, which means a loss to the country estimated at 118,000,000.

F. S. GARTER AND H. BUHGEJH RUNAWAY Sheriff "Tries Out" Korse; Decides After Spill Not to Buy.

Sheriff Carter and Constable Harry Durge were badly shaken up and bruised in a run away in Michigan avenue, Chicago yesterday afternoon. Mr. Carter was trying out the horse he had been driving with the intention of buying it. One side of the shaft broke loose and hit tho horse on the leg. The frightened animal dashed down the street, while the buggy whirled around by one shaft being attached to the horse, zig-zagged after it tipping from side to side. Before it had gone very far, however, it fell over with a crash, throwing the occupants on the asphalt pavement. Mr. Purge was more seriously hurt than the sheriff, having been hurled against the stone curbing, winch slightly changed the topography of his face and enlarged the size of his right knee. Mr. Carter considers himself lucky in receiving but slight bruises and a bad scare. He said this morning that he had decided not to buy the horse. CARD OF THANKS.
