little over two Inches across, and instead of six are pin pointed. The shields also bear the name of patrol

with 1, they are started with 100," said Chief Austgen this mornlns, "which is

done to do away with the unlucky 13. while the number 113 is considered lucky, so you see the police department Is a little superstitious at that." Not satisfied with new stars Chief Austgen wants to make his department all the more efficient by installing a new gong signal system, which, it possible, he wants Hammond to have Just as soon as an appropriation will be made. For a year Chief Austgen has been begging for this system, and at present it is probable that a system may be installed. If possible, Chief Austgen and the police commissioners, will Journey to Chicago Heights "tomorrow to inspect a system that has been Installed there.

Andrew Fyszyski is a prisoner In the East Chicago police station, charged with assault and battery. On Saturday night he wielded a poker with such deadly effect that he broke another man's collar bone, the name of the victim being thus far unknown to the police The row occurred In the house of the victim which Is at l9th street and Baring avenue. It started In Martin Crohowskl's saloon which Is across the street from the victim's home. The victim not wishing any further trouble had left the saloon and gone to his home.. He was followed by PyszyskI who went inside and grabbing a pokor struck the man a blow with it which cracker his collar bone. PjBsyskl was arrested and Is being held in Jail in default of $1,000 bail which he Is unable to furnish, to await the outcome of his victim's injuries which may prove more serious than at first anticipated.

Tries to Brain Man. The Plasterers and their Helpers battled it out on the baseball diamond at Harrison Park last Sunday morning, resulting In a victory for the Helpers by a score of 15 to 11. Although It took several hours to play the game.

there were some Interesting plays, including two home runs made by the Buehrlng brothers. Charlie Buehring also pitched a splendid game, receiving thirteen strikeouts to his credit, and

allowing only one walk. The Plaster

ers think they can twin the trick on

their next occasion, If given another

opportunity. -

Shows Were Good. The attachment case In which the scenery of Nat Fields' show was tied up is not expected to come up for several weeks. This indicates that there is not likely to be much of a contest over the matter. In the meantime Nat Fields will be out of a Job. The vaudeville show last evening was first class.

Board Meets Tonight. The board of education of the Ham

mond school city will meet tonight for

the transaction of the usual routine

of business. The board will consider

a number of matters of importance.

Helpers Win.

Toney Bordres got himself into seri

ous trouble yesterday afternoon, when

unwarningly he struck Leon Holda, 84 Grover street, over the heart with a two-by-four, causing a severe wound. Dr. Collins was summoned and it was found necessary to take a number of stitches to close up the wound.. Bordres" arrest was caused by Constable Phelps today, and the case will come up before Judge Prest this evening on a charge of assault and battery with Intent to kill. Evidently Bordres carried a grudge against Holda and yesterday afternoon going to the home of Holda he struck him over the head with a two by-four. The blow felled Holda to the ground and at first it was thought that his skull was fractured, but this morning he is reported getting along nicely and able to be up and around.

In Itself cause death although he was inclined to the. opinion that death was caused by accute alcoholism.

HOW DID HE GET IT. This reasea the question: "How did Messmaker come to receive the hypodermic injection?" He was not a morphine, fiend, at least not by the hypodermic route, for his arms bore no evidences of more than the one injection. Henry Foss says that the injection of morphine was not given in his place.

so that the presumption Is that the girl administered it although there is no evidence of this fact. It seems improbable that Messmaker would purchase an hypodermic needle and morphine himself. This leads to the assumption that the girl might have had the outfit. ' The motive for giving Messmaker the Injection is a matter of Question. The girl might have seen that he was getting very nervous with the development of the acute alcoholism and administered the injection in the hope ol

the wildwood. whose feelings are seemingly so similar to those of a great statesman about to go on a rampage. The editor of the New York Independent, unable to restrain his curiosity about the bull moose's traits, appealed to the Rev. William J. Long, who was denounced by the colonel some time back as a "nature faker," and Mr. Long has responded feelingly. He writes what we fear Is a rather satirical article, prefaced with a letter to the editor, in whin he disclaims any expert knowledge of the subject, saying that he has met only three or four hundred moose in their native haunts. He congratulates himself, however, on having found in a secondhand shop an old volume written by "T. Roosevelt, who, you remember, once had considerable local reputation as a naturalist, especially among federal office holders whose positions were not secured by civil service regulations." And he goes on: I find upon examination that the esteemed author actually killed two bull moose that were not looking and chased three more that would not wait to be shot. He was also Intimate with

Hank Griffin, who once saw a moose somewhere out west. He speaks, therefore, with authority. That Mr. Long has a poor opinion of the bull moose Is made very, very plain In the following paragraphs from his article: The bull moose lives on the public domain and is a very wasteful feeder. As T. Roosevelt well says, "no beast Is more destructive to the young growth of a forest." When his great paunch Is full to bursting of the deli caciis he has gathered from the common supply, he, wanders toward his day-bed",' stripping the bark from ten

der young trees, especially of the

rarer and more beautiful kind, like the mountain ash and the striped maple. His method is to strike his strong front feet into the bark and tear off

a great bit of this, only to throw It aside and strip another young tree farther on. In trailing a bull moose moose one can often follow his course far ahead by the unsightly gashes or "peelings' which he loaves behind him. Another destructive method of feedings is by riding down young trees whose tops are above his reach. He straddles the trunk, bending lt down by his great weight, holding it under his belly while he eats all the buds and tender twigs. A tree thus moose-ridden rarely recovers. It remains bent or broken, like a discarded boss; it can not breathe without its leaves; It dies and the winter snows cover It from sight. Another noticeable characteristic of the bull moose Is his inordinate and

but flies into a Jealous rage at the

first suggestion that there Is any oth

er bull moose In the universe. His voice at such times is a sqeuaklng grunt, ridiculously small for so great an animal, which sounds like ungwuh!

ungwuh! Herein we have a suggestion of those ferocious warriors described

In Parkman's "Conspiracy of Pontlac,

who always began a speech by shouting "Ongwehonwe!" which In the tongue of that tribe means, "I am the only man; all others are squaws and

liars."

At all times the bull moose is easily

fascinated by too bright a light. Occa

sionally. when I am studying the animals at night, with a Jack In the bow of my canoe, I run across his lordship filling himself with lush Illy roots. Most animals will stare at the Jack for a time, and then turn away Into the woods. Enough limelight Is as good as a feast for a sensible creature. Now

and then, however, I meet a bull

moose that stares too long at the light.

that dazzles him. At such times he

Is dangerous. In his blind infatuation he sees nothing but the bright object of his desire, and he clumsily knocks down everything In his path as he Jumps toward it. Once I was upset in this way by a fool moose that floundered madly when the Jack was extinguished. hitting out aimlessly with hoofs and antlers. The only sure cure for such a bull Is darkness, oblivion. When you meet him. close your Js-ck, or turn it on another candidate. Any bull moose will sober off quickly If left in the friendly darkness.

GRAND CARNIVAL DANCE at LalceWoods Park Wednesday, August 14. Souvenirs for All. Entertainers in the RATHSKELLAR GATE FREE

Periodically post card fans suffer

from a desire to flood the malls with

the tinselled cards, and at the present

time there are an unusually large number of the same being dropped into the malls in cities around here. t , T.

This is In spite of the ruling of the department to the effect that they are

unmallable unless Inclosed in an en

velope and have attached first class

postage.

The clerks at the postofflce are tin

der orders to throw the same aside and this will be the reason that many will never reach their destination. The majority convey birthday or other

greetings, and being signed only with the first name of the sender, it is Impossible to return the same to the Writer or to personally call their attention to the fact they are unmallable unless enclosed In an envelope.

The department .handed down Its

ruling for the benefit of the postal employes, who may suffer from cuts on their hands made by the small particles of glass and mica with which

the cards are decorated. As much of

the decorations are highly colored

there is grave danger of blood poisoning from a cut resulting from the same. A recent case of this nature happened at Wilmington, the assistant postmaster suffering from a cut on his hand which resulted in blood

poisoning and which for a time threatened to result most seriously. Several weeks were spent In a local hospital and for a time It was be

lieved in order to safe his life it

would be necesasry to amputate one arm. However, fortunately he es

caped serious results.
