A unique scene attracted the at
tention of hundreds of pedestrians at
Hohman street and the Monon tracks
Thursday afternoon when the Central fire department was called to extin
guish a box car which had caught fire.

it was pulled up to Hohman street in
the rear of a string of car and two
engines. Adding to the excitement an automobile containing a man and a lit
tle girl failed to notice the approach
ing cars and came within a foot of be
ing struck. The driver backed ofjf the
track Just as the freight cars whizzed
by.

FOR THE HUB
(Special to Thi Times.) Crown Point, Ind., July 5. Crown Point's big fourth of July clebratlon at Lake County's Fair Grounds yesterday proved a screamer from every sense of the word and It is estimated that nearly 3,000 people from every nook and corner In Lake county enJoyed themselves as only a big crowd on pleasure bent can. Notwithstanding the big crowd gathered at the fair ground and the fact that there was much chance for accidents, none hap
pened to mar the day, and with the exception of a spill in which one of the motorcyclists figured no one was hurt. Showers Just after dlnnt-r kept some of the crowd away but as It was the management cleared up a good sum of money and the concession men wax
ed opeulent with filthy lucre. Every number on the program was filled as announced and the crowd witnessed to good horse races in which remarkably good time was made for the early haarness racing season. The trotting race was won by Billy Patch, Bill Bailey getting second money and Doc Pratt third. The best time
In the three heats In this race was 1:27. In the trotting race Trlxey Star showed a clean pair of heels to her two competetors winning in straight heats over Cactus Star and lone Patch in the time of 2:27.

In the first race of five miles, single cylinder machines, Fatch on a Thor easily lead the field for the distance, lapping Klndberg and Fred of Gary.
The time for this race was 7:10 for
the five miles.
