preparing to file a suit for heavy dam
ages against Loftis Brothers where he was formerly employed, and who were responsible for his Incarceration lor

self and his life in Jail has done him no
good. He has already started training

livelihood.
DECIDED
IN PORTE
R CO.
The case of Ernest Kunert of Ham
mond against the Independent Brewing
association of Chicago on an alleged
contract for $3,000 for salary, was decided In favor of the defendant in the
Porter superior court last Wednesday
The alleged contract dated back
three years ago to the time when Kunert was the Hammond agent for the corporation. The company at . that time put In a successor to Kunert before his alleged contract had expired, and he therefore brought suit to re
cover his salary. Attorney 3. K. Stin son appeared for the plaintiff and At
torney Walter Hardy, of the firm of
Reilly & Hardy, for the defense.

Tha officers of the American Na
lional Bank have not received their charter as was reported In another
paper last night The application
blanks have been received but have not
yet been filled out, as stated In Tm
Times two nights ago.
Some? time ago the? gorernnrent -sent
a man to Hammond to make a personal Investigation of plan to organize an
other national bank In this city.
His report was favorable and the
necessary blanks were then sent from
Washington to the incorporators of the
new institution. Tnese blanks iijf been received and filled out. They will
be forwarded within a few days.
The charter will not be issued and
Sent out from Washington until the formal application is received from
Hammond.
In the meantime the bank is having
some difficulty to secure a site. Ar
rangements were made for a site in
what Is kr.ow nas the Henderson building on State street. The quarters which are now occupied by a millinery establishment leased to the new bar.k on condition that the millinery' store
move into the other half of the build
lng. It is understood that the owners
of the millnery refuse to move.
This gave rise to the report that" another location on State street might be
secured. It Is possible that an effort
may be made to induce some State
street property owner to build for the
new bank.
Lnder the circumstances there is
some uncertainty as to when the new
bank will be opened for business al
though it will not be long. t . Board Meeting.
The board of public works as its session this morning awarded the contract for the Hickory street pavement to Lavene Brothers. A permit was
granted Richard Taussig to sell re
iresnments at Harrison park on

tlon next Wednesday evening arrived
in Hammond yesterday afternoon for his training. His contest with O'NIel will be the first one in which the local fans have had an opportunity to see him. Tim's work is better known hereabouts, but as both are light heavyweights a good match Is looked for.

The little son of Mrs. Schafer, 512
Sibley street, who was bitten by a mad
dog last Wednesday afternoon. was
placed in the Pasteur institute In Chi
cago yesterday and will have to remain
there for twenty-eight days. The percentage of failures of treatment. Is so small that no fear for the child is entertained, especially since the case was discovered immediately.
On Mission to Omaha.
O. B. North of Hammond left ' for
South Omaha today on a mission for his
brother. He has gone to get a six-
legged cow which will be placed on exhibition in a. Chicago amusement

Tells a New Fish Story.
Dr. H. G. Merz and Drs. Culbert and
Rodge. the internes at St. Margaret's
hospital, came to bat today with a fish
story. They substantiate It by the fact'
that they brought thirty pounds to St-
Margaret's hospital upon their return.
The haul, says Dr. Merz, was made
at 5 o'clock this morning In Lake Michigan off Pine Station, where they had chartered a sailboat, they having made the trip out there In Dr. Men's auto before sunrise. All the facts have been substantiated with the exception of one, to-wit: Did THEY catch the
fish?
