Officer Barney Quinn, who assisted by Officer McNamara stopped a serious runaway in which he probably saved a

mall boy from fatal injury. Two young

boys had drawn up their light wagon opposite a car filled with hay and were engaged in loadlnsr their wagon

when the horse became frightened and

bolted down Harbor avenue at full

speed. The sudden starting of the horse threw little Johnnie Wentner off the seat and down into the wagon box

where he was being jumbled about un

mercifully by the swaying wagon. As luck would have it, the two policemen turned the corner at 92nd street at that

time and noticed the runaway ap

proaching them. They ran out into the middle of the road where McNamara grabbed the lines while quinn caught tho head of the horse. Before he could bring him to a standstill the frightened animal had dragged the policeman over a hundred yards after a vain effort to shake off his determined cap

tor.

When taken out of the wagon the boy

tearfully thanked the two policemen for their good work, as ho seemed to realize that he had been in a perilous

position The hands of Ollicor Quinn were

badly lacerated, and he was consider

ably jarred up by his dragging over the

cinder road. His uniform bore evidence of the experience also as the road

was exceedingly muddy from the recent

rains.

KICK ON TELEPHONE SERVICE.

To the editor Lake County Times:

There id no shutting our eyes to the ft.ct that radical improvement in the local telephone service is imperatively required, and nothing so spurs the operating company already on the ground to satisfactory work as the presence in the hold of new and vigorous opposition. Conditions as they now exist are positively intolerable and must not be allowed to continue in a city of Hammond's size and prospects. We see the service at its worst In the operation of the private or residence phones the business and manufacturing plants have not so much to complain of, though even here there is vast room for improvement. The company now operating in Hammond, evidently feeling secure in Its holdings, have not hesitated to advance the price of residence service until our people are paying fully 30 per cent, higher rates than obtain in any city of like population east of the Rocky mountains. Ar.d the service seems to have deteriorated in about the same proportion. That is, the more , we pay for cur telephone service, the poorer service we get and the greater amount of impudence we have to submit to at the hands of undisciplined operators. SIS per year for a house phone is a pietty stiff price, if I know anything about such matters, but our people feel Inclined to submit to the hold up and only ask that they may got at least a fraction of the attention and service they pay so well for. But we can't get it, and we never will get it until we

take the matter in hand ourselves. I have not been able as yet to learn

Slmeking Mr Jits Seen by Early Morning Kntliern Wheu Soulh Chicago Tough Appear on the Iteacb. It is said that parties of men and women of bad character have been giving- the beach in the vicinity of the Waif lake harbor a bad reputation. These people are supposed to come from South Chicago and pull off their orgies in Indiana. The other day several early morning bathers saw some shocking sights in the vicinity of one of the shanties near this pier and the men and men who were responsible did not seem to care whether any one observed them or not. This morning a party of ten or twelve men and womt-n walked out on the end of the pier and took a large launch for South Chicago. They were sebn about C:30 in the morning and their actions excited a great deal of curiosity on the part of the people who were watching them. Respectable people in the neighborhood sav that if the lake front In the

vicinity, of the park is to be made the rendezvous of vicious South Chicago toughs, it will no longer be safe or desirable for the people of Hammond and the neighboring cities. The attention of the policy vill be called to the matter and the visits of rifraff from our neighboring city will doubtless be ended. ,

BobHamptoiiof Placer

By RANDALL PARRISH,

Author of "When Wilderness Was King,

Old FroaUer," etc

k c j t

This remarkable story will be run serially in this paper. Read what the critics say of it :

If there is a firm In town that Is wide awake it 13 the South Shore Gas and Klectrie company. The window decorations that have been appearing of late are attracting the attention of the whole town. The men in whose ir.in.l8 the ida3 originate must be nothing short of freniusps. It la the b-st indication that they realize the value of judicious advertising. The window now represents a volcano belcningr forth flames and lava. There is the sugrsrestive card which says that if you haven't a volcano to cook by, one of their gas ranges will do. As an additional proof that the South Shore

Gas and Electric people are Judicious

St. Paul Dispatch A compelling interest biases the reader in favor of this tale, which, with a wealth of dramatic power, reaches its climax in a description of the Custer massacre. Injustice makes men restless, and Bob Hampton was no mean specimen, but the love he bears his old commander, General Custer, like a magnet draws him with unfailing fatality, so that, with his old company, he, reinstated, falls with that gallant leader.

Houston Chronicle The story is decidedly the best Mr. Parrish has written, and the popularity of his former volumes in connection with the excellence of this latest will make it one of the widely read novels of the day. In this story he has, perhaps, reached the summit of his art.

The Little Rock Gazette This is one of the strongest, most virile stories of the year. The author has had several successes. This latest should eclipse them all.

The Portland Oregonian Mr. Parrish can rest assured that in writing this military tale he has created a true American novel on rational lines.

Chicago Daily News The best and strongest story in the line of succession from Mr. Parrish's pen. The story in complication and characterization is wonderfully clever, the elements of suspense remarkably sustained, while its atmosphere of mystery is as strong and its purpose as deep as any that ever entered the most subtle, calculating mood of Sherlock Holmes.

Philadelphia Press "Bob Hampton of Placer" is another thrilling American novel by Randall Parrish. Like its predecessors, it commands attention from the start and holds the interest absorbed by its continuous action. Furthermore it is a notably well written story, exhibiting the author's rare sense of dramatic values.

Grand Rapids Herald The surpassing power of this new novel, 'Bob Hampton of Placer," marks it not only as the best by Mr. Parrish but as probably the strongest in human interest of the season. Seldom has any novel exceeded it in virile strength and the quality that arouses the emotions.
