Revolver.

James Cox was found lying near the
foot of Illinois street at 10 o'clock Satur-
day morning with a cash in his scalp.
He said he had been shot by Max
Schmidt, a saloon keeper near by. Cox
was sent to the county hospital and
Schmidt arrested. At the county hospi.
tai the attending physician said Cox had
not been shot, and that the scalp wound
was Of a trifling nature. Cox was re.
turned to the East Chicago avenue sta
ton and locked up. Schmidt was charged
with assault, gave bond and was re-
leased.
Patrolman Becker went to Schmidt's
saloon and secured possession of a Pc
culiar revolver. 1t is circular in shape
and resembles a pocket tape measure
with a short barrel attachment. Inside
the device Is a revolving cylinder with
seven chambers of small caliber. The
revolver is held in the small of the hand,
with the barrel protruding through the
fingers. The operator can discharge the
weapon by squeezing it, and the pro
truding barrel also serves the purpose OF
brass knuckles. Cox said that Schmidt
struck him with this weapon several
times and then shot him in the head.
The caliber of the revolver is only %,
the bullets being oblong in shape. The
weapon makes only a slight report, but
is capable Of doing considerable damage.
It is the frs of its kind the police Of the
East Chicago Avenue station have seen.

Took Time to Consider.


A strange scene was presented il
the County Court room Tuesday after
noon when a half dozen intelligent
welI-dresscd ladies invaded the pre-
eincts of the county solons and pre-
scented to the court a petition numer
ously signed, asking that the Kings
Daughters be relieved from the pay
ment of the last installment of pur-
chase money for the old Jail, which is
being fitted up for a hospital.
Capt. Colston and ex-Sherif Miller
acted as Spokesman for the ladies and
performed their parts well. U. S. G.
Pitzer. on behalf of the people, much
as he disliked to do SO, opposed grant
ing their request. The court. not to
be caught mapping, took the matter
under Amusement and promised to
render decision at the December term
which constrained Deputy Clohan to
remark that there was no use in de-
laying the performance of a good deed.
Just what the final decision of the
Court will be we are not prepared to
announce.

THE Premier S Resignation"

The Printer did as he was babe,
And soon contents-bills flaring
Proclaimed to an astonished town
The fabrication daring;
And boys in numbers manifold
Right merrily the papers sold
Around the Cross of Charing.
"Ha!" cried the rival editor.
In tones of strong conviction,
"Shall, then, this bilious renegade
Thrive on a groundless fiction.
And we not take at once the hint p
Come, Printer, let us quickly print
A groundless CONTRADICTORY
So east and west and north and south
And even DER the ocean.
Two papers managed to create
A very brief commotion.
Both scooping in, some ill-earned pence
By using, with a difference.
The same catch-penny notion.
And both-through for the time the,
have
More pennies in their purses
Foredoomed to learn, like every one
Who trumped up tales disburses,
That canards, though they fly a while
In very brave and taking style.
Come home to roost, like curses.
