SHOWED HIM BIG GAME.
MIR. McMiIIen Probably VIII Make N
Stir To-day.

A well-known young man said last night
that w. $. McMillen was conducted into a
gambling joint yesterday afternoon and
saw such things as he declared he had not
believed TO exist in this city. "Mr. Nc
Millen had told me that he did not believe
gambling was very bad in Indianapolis"
said the young man, and L asserted that /
could show him a place that would equal
almost anything that can be found in Chi
cago. He insisted that L was mistaken,
but finally agreed to go with me. We went
first to Fred Heier's place, but found moth
ing doing there. Then / took him to the
Cleveland Club rooms and when We sue
ceeded in getting through the maze Of
small rooms into the main gambling place
and McMillen took in the spectacle of a
score or more of men seated at a lot of
tables with chips and money before them,
he got hot under the collar. AS soon as
he got to the street he rushed to the near
est telephone and called the police station,
asking for the superintendent. That of
fetal was absent. Then McMillen inquired
for the captain on duty at the time, but
he. too, was away from his office.
"'Ill show them where to get off to-mor-
row." declared Mr.. McMillen. III nave
this thing stopped or find out the reason
why So / look for breezy times in police
circles tomorrow"

numerous calls yesterday. Mr.. Martins
visitors congratulated him upon the honor
sought to be thrust upon him. but most Of
them expressed a reluctance TO see him
abandon his previously announced inten-
tion to become a candidate for the nominal
ton of auditor of state before the Re-
publican state convention next year. They
felt, they declared, that he would be a
formidable candidate, and that his name
on the ticket would add great strength.
When asked If he had made his decision
In regard TO the acceptance of the new
position Mr.. Martin said: Il have not as

restaurant, IS South Illinois street, at 1890
o'clock this morning. He entered the place
with a companion and ordered luncheon,
which. after eating. he refused to pay for.
The companion, who was not so intoXi-
Gated, paid the check. The other man told
Cashier Percy Calvert that ''he would do
as he pleased" He then sat down on one
of the stools along the counter and began
TO abuse the cashier and the night cook,
who had just entered. The loud utterances
of the man attracted the attention of
passers-by, who stood outside and jeered.
When he saw that he was being made fun
of by the persons outside he picked up a
bottle filled with catsup from the table and
hurled it through the large plate glass win

their coverings and the china ware.
Suddenly the man stopped and surveyed
the damage done the window. He ran sew

through carrying away the glass hat re-

open and revealed the jaw-bone and teeth.
The scalp was cut in several places. Both
wrists were lacerated so that one looked
as though it were hanging to the arm by
a shred. The left leg was cut in the calf.
After jumping through the window the
man sat on the idewalk for some minutes,
stunned from the force Of his fall. He then
arose and walked away leisurely south on

given aid by one of the attendants. The
man was unable to speak. After leaving

The State Medical Board held a special
meeting yesterday afternoon to finish hear
ing testimony i'm the matter Of the applica-
tiOns for licenses made by certain physi-
clans connected with a local concern that
advertises extensively in the newspapers.
The testimony yesterday dealt almost ex-

was made of the existence or nOnexistence
OF a physician after whom the institute is
alleged TO have been named. DR.. Coyner.
