Seemingly
People All Over Northern Part of State Interested in Flan of Hammond Merchants to Refund Fares to Purchasers.
No sale ever attempted in the state of Indiana wil compare with the big Co-operative Fare Refunding Sale which starts next Saturday in Hammond, and continues for seven days of bargain festivities. Every merchant represented in "Hammond's Hig Sale'' is making elaborate pr parationn in practically every department of their store, and a general sweeping pirice reduction sale will continue through the two Saturdays. It is the grandest opportunity for bargain hunters to find what Hammond's merchants have in store for them. It will mean a great money saving in making purchases of personal and household goods. The low reductions in price on dependable merchandise will appeal strongly to every person in the city of Hammond, as well as those that come Trom miles around to the city of opportunity during the "Trade Carnival." A number of Hammond's leading business men that are not represented
in this list are making elaborate plans, in attractive merchandise and lowest j possible prices. "Car fare is a big in- j iluoement," Is the way one leading business man put it. "We've got the poods, we are going to advertien and j they are bargains." It will pay thel
most skeptical to come for miles and share in this big bargain banquet. Following are the merchants who wil refund fares to all out-of-town customers durintr the big Saturday-to-Saturday sale. Remember the dates of

Auxust Kamradt, and his wife all returned from a trip to New York and eastern Canada, when- they have spent a two weeks' vacation. 15ig John is hack on the job looking better than ever. He was very much complimented to find that in return for his services for the Hammond Chamber of Commerce that it had presented him with a receipt for the amount of a year's membership.
C. A. Westburg, the vice president of the Eost Chicago Co.. who lias been subpoenaed as a witness in the case of the Interstate Iron & Steel Co. vs. the City of East Chicago, stated today the city's side of the controversy. He declared that the company sought to make it appear that the city is attempting to open a new street through the property which it has acquired for the purpose of extending its plant when in fact there is already a forty-foot strip dedicated through the property on the north side of the section line which marks the center ;ine of the street. That forty feet was not withheld at the time the Fast Chicago company sold the remainder of its site to the Interstate Iron & Steel Co. was due to an o versigh t.
Mr. Westburg claims that at the time the sale of the second piece of property was made to the Interstate, Colone Robert Todd started to tear up the deed because the Interstate Iron & Steel Co. objected to having One Hundred and Forty-first street extended through Its site and only restrained himself from doing so when he was informed that
the Interstate company accepted property with the understanding the street was to 1 e put through. The building of tine Hundred Fory -first street through to Fast
ioaggo wos part of the plan of the Fast j Chicago Co. for tho development of i Fast Chicago a. an entirety. ; Fast Chicago and Hammond real j oirtate dealer hav been on the witness I stand today. Thf case is expected to j take at least today and tomorrow. It ! is regarded as one of the most inipoi tI ant cases that have come up in some time. It is another effort to preserve 'the integrity of a thoroughfare.
the young lad did not hear ttie warn-i In jr. as he never attempted to get away j until it was too late. Tin- auto struck him s.iuarely and the front and rear I wheels passed over his body. The boy!
was a son of William Case, foreman at the I.ansir.g I '.rick Company. Following the aciletit. Mr. Nimetz
'did everything in his power to save the I j boy's life and in hurrying to find a doc- j jtor, witnesses thought he was trying j jto escape. He returned later to rind j jthe boy dead. In the car with Mr. j .Nimcz was a nephew Flmer Tingle'
who testified that his uncle was not at! fault and made every effort to stop tin! car in order to avert an accident. I An inquest was held over the re-! mains This morning und a verdict of j accidental death was given. Mr. Ni- j metz was also held blameless as he did j all in lis power to prevent the accident, and according to his testimony ami j that of witnesses, the car was not going over eight ir.il es an hour.

West Hammond, 111., Sept. 28. Thi Times: I have examined the Websterlan Illustrated Dictionary rather carefully and do not hesitate to recommend it. It ought to find its way Into every home in the region during this sale. It is printed on good paper, in clear type, uses a sensible system of capitalization and pronunciation and is as nearly up-to-the-minute as a dictionary ' can be. The illustration ' , rid charts are clean cut and strit;ht to the point, giving the book an encyclcpediac value not found in' any dictionary of its size that I have seen. Very respectfully, A. C. PEAVER Snpt. West Hammond Schools.

Ml.rNA ARI)KLIO of Indiana Harbor. Not arraigned, her physical condition making it impossible for her to appear in court. Will bo held in the asylum until next term of court, when she will be tried for the murder of her baby. The plea of guilty plven above make a total of eight cases in which criminals charged with felonies have pleaded guilty instead of jjolng; to trial, and have saved the county the cost of lengthy trials. This is the best tribute that could be paid to the efficiency cf the prosecutor in charge of the trial work ia Lake county. Today Ralph W. Ross Is mighty proud of the fact that what might have been a long- drawn out lot of criminal work has been ended at once.

Did the vice ring in West ilammpni steal the moving picture reels showingthe principals and the conditions there, or Is the offer of a $2.i'0i) reward for their return merely a clever advertising scheme to draw attention to them? A display advertisement which appeared in Ttia Times last Saturday in which the reward is offered has raised the ctuestion, but according to the statements of those, most interested in them, the "ad" is bonatide. and the pictures were actually stolen. With all the free publicity that West Hammond has had, ne.ause of its red light district, the pi-tnros would have been a valuable asset to any moving picture company, and the pictures would have been a valuable asset to any moving picture company, and the pictures would undoubtedly have taken well wherever people have read about the city.
