The rood folks at Indiana Harbor j have been a Trailed for several days at j the fearful number of funeral corteges passing tn the streets. "People are certainly dyingf fast," said one man "Two funerals today in our block," raid another. "There goes a hearse and ten limou- ! sines now. Some r-thf r poor chap is I dead." But alas Indiana Harbor is hcal'iy as it ever was. The "funerals" were plain camouflage. Insteal of a real funeral one hearse and so many taxicabs went to the Illi nois side of the line, loaded tip with beer and returned to some of the blind pigs. The hearses used had opaque sides instead of glass. These are stated to have hauled the kgs. The limousins for the "mourners'" contained cases of bot tled beer. The surprising number cf fune.-al""be-ing'l.eld in the Harbor lately and the way several men reeked of beer is sail , to have lead to an investigation. Then j It was learned that there seemed to be j Hon, so if you se too many funerals j And some former saleenmen are said to i have taken in as high as $300 daily. ! According to the story the "funeral" ' heads for Illinois, presumably going to i I to the West Hammond or a Chicago suburban cemetery. That attracts no attention. The funeral rather late and when it party return i ,i,.l- t)i tif nrse is nacKcn up to ine ancy ni- . trance of some falcon, and the thirsty are soon unthirsted. This is the substance of an investlga- tion. so if you see to many funerals being held think of the prohibition law. J. P. PETERSON BUYS MONUMENT IPPEctM. To The Times. CROWN POINT. Ind . June 15.
