R. DAVIS NOT BAD SORT Because he did not come home every two weeks and turn over his entire . earnings to his wife, R. Pvls, 260 . North Hohman street, was arrested on a warrant sworn out by his wife yesterday charging him with nonsupport of herself and children. ' Davis is employed at the S. G. Taylor Chain company, where he makes

on an average of $2.60 a day. Last pay day Davis gave his better half In the neighborhood of 126 and with the balance paid a few small bills. With what little Davis had left he kept for himself.

construction work as ' far aa It 1 has progressed already brings out some of

the beautiful lines in the edifice.

No Truth in It.

So far as can be learned the story that was sent out from Laporte to the effect that strikers In the breweries had poisoned the beer is. absolutely untrue. City Sealer Frank O'Rourke said he had received no complaints and n: cases of poisoning have been reported.

It is believed to be a report sent out for the malicious purpose of injuring the sale of beer. Saloonkeepers who are asked about the matter laugh the enquirer out of countenance and make subtle sugges

tions as to his sanity. The Laporte story about doped vats is too ridiculous to receive serious consideration on the part of the drinking public of Hammond. Te consumption here has not been one schooner less as a result of having the word passed "all down the line."
