Martin Finneran another of the drectors of the xbank is an' old resident of West Hammond. He is known to be progressive and his large acquaintance in West Hammond will bring a great deal of patronage to the new bank. Senator Vernon Curtis is well known in political circles and his position and abilty wll be a great asset to the new-

bank. Mr. Curts is a believer in the future of West Hammond and he i3 in

a position to do the village a great deal of 'good. J. K. Stinson of Hammond, another of the directors, is also interested In another banking enterprise. He is well known in Hammond and West Hammond and his legal training will bo available to the directors of the bank

at all times.

Bent 3Ia Affiliate. M. Rothschild is one of the pioneer business men of Hammond and a man of considerable wealth. He is also on the directorate of the new bank. S. K. Markman, another of the directors, has a great many interests in West Hammond. He recently interesled himself and some of his friends in a real estate deal of considerable importance. Attorney Markman was se

lected by the officials of the Eastern Illinois Traction Co. to secure a franchise in many of the villages south of

Chicago.

community in its list of officers and it

is expected that it will at once com

on Sept. 25th. This will be a race for the big boats, of which there are three. The race will be over a twenty-five-mile course, beginning at the clubhouse and going as far as the basin in the river at South Chicago and return. Three boats are entered for this race

they being the "Fiz," owned by E. J. ' Miller, and having a speed of approximately twenty miles an hour; the "Dragon," owned by Harry Moonshower, and having a speed of approximately eighteen miles an hour, and the "Louise S., owned by Seestadt Bros., and having a speed of approximately t eighteen miles an hour. While there is a difference of speed possibilities in the Miller boat against the other two. yet the experts in the club say that the chances are even, because of the

fact that the Miller boat is a newer craft and consequently not in such perfect running order In which one finds the boats that have been in the water a longer time.

LARGE FISH STORY TOLD

BY "CULLY" SWAHSOI

Thb Times has been aware for some time that all candidates for office whether democratic or republican are apt to tell stories which their friends doubt to somo extent. The latest comes from "Cully" Swanson of Hobart, republican candidate for county treasurer, who was fishing in the Calumet river, between Gary and Hobart, yesterday. The story is to the

effect that Swanson caught a catfisfe weighing 102 pounds and nearly lost his life from being pulled Into the river in landing the monster. It was with the greatest difficulty that the catfish was loaded into a wagon, and Swanson says the vehicle broke down several times in taking the enormous fish home. Swanson was sitting on the banks of the river, so the story goes, deeply engrossel in reading the 13th chapter of Isaac Walton's "The Compleat Angler." His line was hanging loosely from his pole, which was stuck In the mud by his side, when suddenly there was a jerk and Swanson, grabbing the pole, succeeding after much effort in tying the line around the trunk of a nearby tree.- The monster catfish had swallowed the whole hook and there was no chance for him to get away, and he lashed the water Into a foam for several-hours until he was tired out. The above story is vouched for by

Albert Bormann of Gary, who, by the , wav filn a. candidate for a sent in the i

Gary city council. Of course. Thb Times ' does not doubt either Swanson's or Bormann's word, and we have those who f

are acquainted with them to test the creditability of their stories.
