BERNICE GIRL TRIED TODAY
Hattie Sorma, the little Berniee girl
who has involved a number of men In
her confessions, is still In Jail. One
day last week she was locked In a ce.ll
while the city hall was deserted. Not a person was on hand In the event that she had attempted suicide, the Jail had caught fire or she had been taken "sick. In fact, the city hall in West Hammond Is a disgrace to the city
when the facilities for taking care of
prisoners are considered. Miss Brooks has taken up with Miss Underwood of the Settlement House the question of the girl's comfort. They found that the cell was poorly ventilated; that there were no sheets on her bed, and that the place was damp, but they said that conditions were not so bad as they expected they would be. The girl was taken out for a drive yesterday eo that she could get a breath of fresh air. The case will come up for trial before Judge Frank Green of West Hammond this afternoon.

Another story is that a Lansing boy, unintentionally bumped into a Hammond dancer, and because there was not an apology a fight ensued. As soon as the Hammond boys saw the Lansing aggregation, helped their fellow townsman, they two prepared for battle and joined In the fray. From what can be learned it was a bloody affair.

Quiet Prevails There. The quiet spell still prevails at the Hammond police station, not an arrest being made over Saturday night and Sunday, and very few happenings of Importance occurred. On account of the disagreeable weather this morning the dog squad did not go out today, but expect to report for duty tomorrow morning. The squad, composed of Officers Carlson and Hesterman, report that unmuzzled canines are a scarce article these days, but expect to make a few more killings before the close of the month.
Three hundred names are now on the petition circulated among the residents of the east side in Hammond asking the New York Central lines to stop some of their suburban trains on the Nickel Plate at the Catlumet avenue crossing. The agitation was begun last winter by the East Side Improvement association. City Controller fed. Aubry and H. P. Downey of the contracting firm
of Downey Ports will represent the East Side Improvement association in presenting the petition to the New York Central officials in Chicago. Mayor Smalley and prominent railroad men of this city will accompany them to press the claim. The petition will be taken to Chicago next week. The petition does not ask that all trains be stopped. They ask that the trains due In Hammond at 8:48 and 10:14 in the forenoon and the 1:12,6:02 and 6:4 3 in the afternoon be stopped.
