nearly every prominent club in Chicago
there is more or less gambling" he said,
but those clubs operate under state
charters and | would hesitate long time
before backing a blue wagon up to their
doors and arresting the club members"
What about the games in the back rooms
of cigar stores?" he was asked
"Oh, ! consider them merely private social
clubs" replied the chief.

VETERAN SHOOTS HIMSELF
Old Man Who Fought on Confederate Side
Commits Suicide
GREAT SUFFERER FOR MANY YEARS
Leaves viii Directing That His
Body he Cremated and the
Ashes Scattered to the
Four Winds.

WASHINGTON, Ia, June 23.-(Special
Telegram )-Yesterday Ephraim Maxwell,
one-legged confederate veteran, shot him
self in the right temple and died a short
while afterward. He has for many years
been great sufferer and had evidently
contemplated the deed for some time. He
boarded at the Arnold Twiggs home and
in the morning paid his bill and remarked
that the breakfast was probably the last
meal he would eat with them. He said
he was going to Davenport, but intimated
that 1t would be in box. He asked his
landlady to take a package for him to c..
H. Wilson, and on her return showed her
revolver which he said he had carried
for several months. A few moments later
the shot was heard
When found he was still alive, but un-
conscious, and died in about an hour. He
left will, directing that his body be ere
mated and that the ashes be scattered to
the winds and waters from the bridge over
the Mississippi, and in the letter to Wilson
he insists that his wishes be carried out.
In the letter also was certificate of de-
post for $230.S0. The body was taken to
Davenport this evening, and If there are
no objections his peculiar wish in regard
to the ashes Will be carried out
Deceased was a we'll known character in
this vicinity, was 20 years old and a native
of West Virginia and a veteran of the civil
war, serving on the confederate side. He
had no family.
