OP STORY

As

was

a result of the agnation wnicn started by The Times several

weeks aj?o the saloon keepers of Hammond are taking- steps to secure an v independent supply of ice. About all that the proposition needs is propcf leadership. The paying of ice bills is anything but a pleasant task these days and bo great is the feeling against the Ice trust that other newspapers in this locality will be forced to take up the agitation to make it appear that they are looking after the consumer's interests. The increase of from 17 cents to 13 cents a hundred was reported in The Times several weeks ago. It is now an old story but the dealers do not intend that the matter shall be dropped and the organization of a consumer's co-operative ice company is one of the probabilities of the near future.

wire line proposition. The village board ordered a warrant drawn for SS25 for C. J. Huff of the Interstate Electrical Co. Ignatz Mankowski, the clerk of

the village, thinks that this amount is excesslye and he refuses to sign the warrant. Today Mankowski received a teleprone message from one of the of-

ficials of the Interstate Kleetrleal Co. asking him to come into Chicago, lie j expects to' be informed that he will j be mandated to pay this $825 if he still

refuses to do so. This will add further complications to the already complicated situation ill West Hammond. In fact thero are so many actions of various kinds, affecting West Hammond, pending in the Chicago courts that it is hard to keep track of them. The people of West Hammond find the reports of doings in the ' village

so interesting that the circulation of

prices ever paid for farm property in this section 'of the county. The farm comprises about 120 acres and is one

f the best improved tracts in this vi

cinity. Mr. Lottes has not decided

whether he will buy another farm or move with his family to town, but it

is quite probable he will pursue the

A letter bearing no address with the exception of the post mark at New York city was received by Mrs. Bradshaw, 684 Webster avenue from her 15 year old daughter Laura May Williams, who mysteriously disappeared from her home the second tlma Thursday July 13.

Mrs. Bradshaw the girl's mother refused to give the contents of the letter this morning, but the police understood its burden to be that the girt did not have any money and to send 25 to New York so she could return home. Mrs. Bradshaw asked the police department what she should do. A letter win t sent toNew York, care of general de livery in hope that the girl may be located. In talking with a. Times reporter this morning Mrs. Bradshaw claimed she had not heard from her daughter directly, but she thought the letter looked like a man's hand writing. At the police station she stated that the letter cam from her daughter. The police are ' mystified regarding the mother'! actions but refuse to start anew on the case.

his prowess with an up-to-date tackle,

The fishing party was composed o Mr. WInterhoff and Col. L. T. Meyer o

Hammond. The latter had heard th

bank president tell of his succes a

baas flfching In one of the brick yard

holes at Lansing, and readily accepte

an Irivitation. He though to himsel

that if Mr. -WInterhoff could boast o

such success with an antiquated pool

and line, that he would empty the poo

with his modern tackle in a short time,

Mr. Winterhoff went armed with

twenty foot pole, to which was attached

a long line. A cork and a nail answer ed the purpose of a bobber and sinke

respectively Col. Meyer began whipping the pond, and telling his partner about his sucess as a fisherman In

Canadian streams, iur. WInterhoff excused himself for interruptlngthe conversation saylnjr that he was buy landing a black bass, and in a minute a beautiful two pound game fish wai landed. The conversation on Col.

Meyer's part then lagged notably, and the banker began telling of his success in the brick yard hole. Col. Meyer switched from lte frog bait to artificial minnows then to the spoon hook, and finally to the rod and the black fiiea and pork rind. AH Inducements were In effective. The fish simply treated

the high toned bait with contempt. ' They were reared In humble surroundlngs, just a brick yard pond and they j would have none of the artificialities j of city life. Mr. Winterhoff landed a

number of two pound bass. Col. Meyer got nothing.

The police held their regular shoot in

the rear of the old packing house buildings yesterday afternoon and by look

ing over the scores there must have been a hoodoo present somewhere.

Officer Homrick made the high score

with 35 points and Officer Poppen came a close second with 34 points. Officer

Trost laid the low scores to the fact that he did not keep score and another was that because Chief Austgen was not pyetent. Anyhow they hope to do better next shoot. The following officers took part and made the following scores: Brietzke 12 Burge 6 Carlson 27

up with muck excavated by the dredg

causing the river channel to fill up. Those who watched the work In the be
