EAST SIDE CITIZENS REJOICE
Give Splendid Demonstration of Civic Spirit With Parade Last Night.
Horn blowers of Hammond's east side cazne into their own last night when in a monter demonstration they gave the rest of the city an idea of some of the pep and civic enthusiasm which is rampant along Calumet avenue. The Llebration was the formal dedication of -the new concrete thoroughfare, the best in Lake county. LIT WHOLE TOWN 121 It had betn planned to conilne the doings to Calumet avenue, for the boosters were, not sure what sort of a turnout they would have, but when tho bis automobile parade, started south from Michigan avenue, a sudden switch in Elans was made ar.d it was decided to unselfishly let the rest of Ha.m:r.ond in on. iu PABADE A HTJMXILN'GEB
That parade was one of the most suc
cessful ever .staged in Himmoad. It took over 20 minutes for the string:
cf cars to pass a given spot, Mayor
Brown and city officials occupied the
leading car. Then came tha Citizens band on a truck followed by the Iocs line of machines, many of them deco
rated. Business places and homes on
the avenue had been decorated for the
occasion. rSEIOHT TB.ATN" SPLITS XT The line of march led couth on Calumet to Highland, then west to Hohm&a, then north to State &nd east to Calumet again, Not a street car or railroad crossing hindered the procession until Stat and Hohman streets was reached. There the parade was stopped by a freight train as if it had been planned in advance, giving the band and red fire artists a time to show off in front of the down town crowd. EIO JAM. AT COJTC5X.T Reaching the band stand at Carroll street on Calumet avenue, it was found that an immense throng had gathered. Hundred f machines Jammed the aeiiue and side streets for blocks in all directioaa. It was estimated that 6,000 people were present. The Citizens band gave a snappy musical entertainment and Jack Desmond, one of Hammond's favorite vocal artists. Fang a number of songs. It should be stated also that every member of the band was a Hammond man and Albert Gerhing, the leader, is an east elder. KAT.O WAS CXAXBCAIT James A. ilalo, who was chairman of the committee in charge of the affair, made a short speech thanking the people for their attendance and participation and then gave way to Frank O'Rourke. Mr. O'Rourke outlined the work which has been done to make Calumet avenue
what it is today. Hi showed that two
plants, the largest of their kind in the world. Eeid, Murdoch & Co.. and the
W. E. Conkey company, located at each
end of the thoroughfare, are carrying
the name of Hammond to all parts of the country. ' HOW POB rAil TEST IV At He told of other plans for the future and then broke the good new s that the Hammond Civic Improvement association is to stage a big fall festival on tho street soon, an event which will draw thousands to Hammond. This announcement was received with wild enthusiasm by the crowd. In spite of the Jam of automobiles, the width of the street was such that within a few minutes after the band played "The Star Spangled Banner," the majority of the machines had deparcec. The ample room for traffic on the avenue was demonstrated by the fact that michines were three dpep on the west side and two deep on the east side and there was still a roadway for moving cars between,

Mrs. Maginot was driving into Hammond from the south at 10.30 o'clock last night. Her four-year-cld son who had fallen asieep. lay in her laf as she drove her roadster along th-: roal !n the outskirts of the city. As she neared the bridge over the Little Calumet river on South Hoh
man street, she noticed a light swring-
Jngr across the road as if someone waj
fignaling her to stop. Mrs. Maginot
was soon able to discern the dim out
lines of a man and saw that he was waving a pocket flashlight.
She had heard cf the numerous hold- :? which had occurred In the outly
ing roads in the last year and decided to take no chances. Instead of stop
ping she stepped on the gas1 and 'drove directly towards the man. He sprang tD one aide of the road as the car whined past and Mrs . Maglnot heard a number of shots fired in rapid succession. Reaching home, examination of the car Ehowed that four bullet had hi;
the rear of the machine. Two had struck the back of the seat and or.e had punctured the metal but was stopped by the seat padding back of th little hoy.
The complaint writch was nid by' Attorney Joe W . Todd of Hammond, states that the marriage took place. Tuesday at Crown Toinf. Last May. i Tncs was a 'care-free lass down In! Mexico. She had been maktr.o- her!

was persistent and resorted fo caveman tactics. He seized her roughly, tore her from her environment of pots anl pans in the kitchen and rushed her to th room of the hotel proprietress.

prisoner. Then the grooms vigilance relaxed as he went among his brethren to boast of his conquest. That was the bride's opportunity. She climbed out a window and escaped to to the home of relative In another
part of the city. Tnes calls attention to the fact t'Vit she is sill a subject of Mexico (tnd that the marriage was contracted undt threats. As she has no love f-r Ptnmon she wants the court to set ald the marriage.
