TOOK TURN FOR WORSE.
Max Peters Having a Hard Strug-
Gle With Death

The condition of Max A Peters, who
is battling bravely with the death that
seems inevitable, remained practically
the same yesterday, but there was a
slight change for the worst last night.
At IL the information was given cut
that ne might survive the night end
that the end might come before the
morning.
There is no internal bleeding, as was
stated. nor has there ever heeH, ac-
cording to the statement Of the ply
sicians, but the wound OF itself is even
more threatening in its aspect Trau-
matte pneumonia is the term that is
applied by the physicians in referring
to the affiietion of Peters During the
morning hours, according TO the nurses,
he rallies somewhat, but his condition
becomes more alarming during the aft
ernoon and evening.
In spite of the battle which he has
waged so desperately, practically Gll
hope of his recovery has been aoan-
doned. Even at that, however, his
physician stated that he still had a
fighting chance for surviving the eff
fects of the bullet, but offered no en-
coura cement as TO his eventual recov-
cry.
AS have said before. The r.:an's
condition is extremely critical said
DR.. Pinkerton last night, land ! would
not like to state my opinion as 10 his
chances for recovery. He is not bleed
ing internally and never has since he
received the bullet. He is suffering
now with Dramatic pneumonia
At the hospital his death is regarded
as only a matter Of a short while.

M'CASLIN LAID
QUIETLY TO REST
Services Over the Remains Con
Quoted by the Elks.
NO PRAYERS AND NO EUL0GY
MANY FLORAL OFFERINGS
WIDOW WAS PRESENT.

MO eulogy was pronounced at the
~ burial of J. w. McCaslin, the
murderer and. suicide, which was
held at ODonnelfs undertaking estab
lishment yesterday afternoon at 8
O'Clock. Ritualistic services were held
but the eulogy which is LAIRD down in
the ritual of the order of Elks and
which is read concerning the virtues Of
dead brother was eliminated when
Exalted Rurel Dearborn conducted the
services.
Fifty of the local Elks listened to the
services, and a dozen or so women,
friends and relatives of the dead. were
also in attendance at the funeral.
Many floral tributes were banked
against the walls of the room. Con-
spicuous among the flowers was large
anchor composed almost entirely of
roses. which was sent by the young son
of the dead man TO decorate the grave
of his father. The place was. a bed of
flowers. and standing room was barely
possible on account of the numerous
! tributes that had been sent.
Heavily yelled and attired in the
deepest black was Mrs. McCaslin, who
attended the funeral of her husband.
| The children were unable to attend, nor
was the former wife of the dead man at
the services. Her mother, Mrs. Strange,
| however, was among the mourners and
followed the procession 10 the grave.
The other women we're friends and ac-
| quaintances. who had gone to the place
| to express their sympathy for the wife
| of the dead man, who has been left in
destitute circumstances by the rash act
| Of her husband.
Promptly at o'clock Exalted Ruler
Dearborn opened the services by read
| ing from the ritual of the order OF
Elks. No minister offered coincidence
to the friends nor Lrayer for the dead.
The ritual was read by the exalted
| ruler with the exception of the eulogy
| A song was sung by J. A Graham, and
| twenty minutes after the beginning OF
| the services the hearse bearing the
| body was on it's way to the cemetery.
The funeral cortege was not i'm
pressive as ii passed through the city,
and few who saw it knew that the
| large black casket concealed from the
| view of the curious the remains of the
man who was the author of terrible
! tragedy.
| No prayer was offered at the grace
nor was any other ceremony observed
| except the placing of the coffin in the
! ground. His brother Elks stood silently
/ by while few persons looked sorrow
! ingly as the casket was lowered.

CRUSADER KILLED.
Man Who Urged War Against Des
Moines Gamblers Murdered,

Des MOines. Ia. Aug. 5.-lsaac Finkie-
stein. whose crusade against public gam
bling closed the eight houses in Des
MoineS two weeks ago was murdered At
10 O'Clock tonight in Walnut street. at an
alley entrance between Sixth and Sew
enth streets.
He was on his way to his home. less
than a block and half away. when a
man stepped out of the shadow Of the
alley and struck him blow over the
head with a singletree.
+ Finklestein fell to the ground. Four
men less than block away saw him
fail and ran tn assist him. He was dead
when they arrived. his skull being
crushed.
Save for the bloody singletree which
was left beside the victim. the only clue
to the murder Is a report that a Little
after the time of the murder a man was
overheard to saw TO another: Il killed thu
- and at another time a man
was heard to tell another: Keep your
mouth shut
The murder is supposed To have re-
suited from Finklesteins action in pros
ecuting the gamblers He did not object
to public gambling. but wanted the city
10 receive a revenue from it, he said.
and when the police did not raid the
houses he filed complaints with the sher-
if The result of the raids proved so
extensive that the gamblers closed their
places.
