Fully two thousand people watched the work of the firemen. The news spread as fast as the fire itself.
Everybody commented on the strong
streams of water that were thrown ( into the building. Engineer Malo never
had less than 145 pounds of pressure for two leads and at that was only feeding from four-inch main. At one time he raised the pressure to 800 pounds, and kept it there until the stream had broken down a wall. Once the nozzle broke away from five men and soused the people standing near the federal building.
Albert Malo and William Schulte of
station No. 1 were overcome with smoke
and could barely make their way out of the burning building.
Chief Rimbach literally carried Mjrs. John Russell from the burning building. She had gone back to rescue J80 that she knew were in her husband's clothes. The- money was not found until after the fire.
IS MUSICAL PRODIGY
Charles Bertram Visits His Father and Admirers in Hammond Today. Little Charles Bertram, the 5-year-old son of John Bertram, who is employed as a tinner on the Hammond Elevator, was in Hammond today on
a visit. He lives with his father at 196 Winchester avenue, Chicago, and is perhaps the youngest musician in the world. At the asre of .5 vears this hov
plays the piano with a degre of proficiency astonishing to those who have heard him. His repertory already con
tains some pieces that many older play
ers would find difficult. Like Blind Tom, he needs but to hear a piece played over once to master it, and to memorize a Diece of music om three or four
The Ginger Jar
At one time the story was circulated that a child had been smothered in the flames. It was unfounded.
Aldermen, business men, lawyers and doctors worked side by side in rescuing the men under the walls. Drs. Graham, Oberlin, Schlieker and Fox were at the fire assisting wherever they could. George Sheerer, John Kuhlman, John McGarry, Joh,n Pascaly and William Newman and a score of others worked like Trojans even at a great risk to themselves.
The immense crowd seemed to ex
pect something very startling and when the wall caved in the news was to shocking to be relished.
Emil Minas Is the sole owner of the
building that burned. He estimates his loss in the neighborhood of 112.000.
He says that he will rebuild. He also
occupied the adjoining building to the
east. This building is owned by Peter
Meyn. The elevator shaft in it was
gutted by the flames.
The woodshed of Mrs. Mary Jergens
was destroyed by fire which SDread
from the Minas barn across the alley.
Three horses belonging to Minas were in the barn at the time. They were lead out by Ira Nelson, who suffered burned hand and face In do
ing so. Strangely enough the horses
passed through a burning door.
It seems to be pretty well established
that boys who started a little fire in a garbage box caused the big fire. One little boy told John Kuhlman about what a big fire the boys had in the alley, but that he did not have anything to do with it. Just then, Mr.
Kuhlman who was at Sohl street saw
the flames sweep over the building He gave the first alarm to the fire de
rartment.
A Cellar nozzle Inserted between the roof and the celling would have done
effective work yesterday, but none of the departments is equipped with this kind of a nozzle. The chief in the past
however, has made request for one,.
The flats above the store were leased
to John A. Keller of 284 Plummer avenue, who furnished them and rented
thtm for light housekeeping.
Insurance men who were on the ground were well pleased with the way
the department worked, and the water
pressure as used.
RETURN FROM VISIT. Mr. and Mrs. Newton Hcmbroff have returned from a very pleasant visit of a few weeks, spent with relatives and friends in northern Michigan and Canada. Mr. and Mrs. Hembroft attended the sailors' encampment along the St. Mary's river during their absence from Hammond. WEDDING OF HAMMOND TEACHER.

The wedding service took place at 7:30 o'clock in the parsonage of that city before only the relatives and very intimate friends of the bridal couple.

Whiting call. I.E VI ALL OTHKttS. The Indiana Department, G. A. R
leads all of the other O. A. R. de
partments in the United States in mem bership gain in the last six months, ac
cording to a letter received by Colonel
J R. Fesler. of the Indiana depart ment, from Charles O. Burton, of Kan
sas City, commander-in-chief of the
G. A. R.
Many states with large departments
allowed a decided loss in membership. Among the states which recorded losses were Ohio and Massachusetts. The loss in Ohio amounted to Beveral hundred members. The net gain in Indiana was 128, a greater net gain than was made by any other state department during the semi-annuad period. The work of recruiting the membership to the highest possible mark begun under the administration of W. A. Ketcham. who, until recently, was department commander, lias been carried out by Captain John D. Alexander since he has been at the head of the department. Captain Alexander is much plesed with the work of those connected with the department.
Indiana G. A. IC men are now beginning to get together on the proposition of how they shall vote in the national encampment, which begins at Toledo next Monday. It is understood that the Indiana department will try hard to make friends, and will guard against the enmity of any state depurtrtient.

Ask Local Police for News. The Chicago police called upon the
Hammond department to identify a watch which a Chicago crook tried
pawn in a shop in the city. The local police took it for granted that it belonged to Sam Friedman, who Is the only person who has lost a watch in Hammond recently, and reported it to the police. Captain Bunde went to Chicago with Friedman was unable to identify the if it belonged to the Hammond peddler. Friedman was unable o identify the watch and he did not know the man who was held for attempting to pawn it. The police then went through their records and found that Charles Segraves, an employe on the Chicago, Indiana & Southern railroad, had lost a watch in Chicago and had notified the Chicago police. He left the number of the watch and it corresponded with the number which was on the case of the one the Chicago crook tried to pawn. Friedman was sent back to Hammond and Charles yegraves was notified to come to ChicaQ as soon as he gets in from his run and identify the watch. If Segraves had notified the Hammond police at the time he notified the Chicago officers all of the trouble and delay would have been avoided. They
would then have known that It was Segraves and not Friedman's watch which hd been recovered by the officers and it would have been an easy matter to have had the watch Identified.
