PRELIMINARY GAME.

The preliminary game was not as entertaining as the preliminary games have been, as the Tribunes of New Haven were not in the same class as the Moonlights of this city and the Elm City eleven was wal loped by the score of 2S to 0. al. though the game was on only about fifteen minutes.
 The boys from New Haven were outweighed by the opponents anf did not have the ghost of show. The lineup:

THE GRIDIRON LAST GAME A
 WALK OVER The Nonpareil. of New Haven Take . Severe Cruising
 and Beating

With the wind blowing 'steen miles an hour and the weather very, very cold, the football season in this city was brought to close at State League park yesterday afternoon when the All Waterburys in easy fashion defeated the Nonpareils of New Haven by the score of 15 to 0. The Elm City team was not much better than the Franklins who play ed here 8 couple of weeks ago and there was nothing to the game but Waterbury. Because of the weather and as it was the general opinion that the Nonpareils would prove z phony team, the attendance was not more than 300. The Nonpareils is the team which a few weeks bac
 was spouting that Waterbury was afraid to meet 1t and that in the event of a contest the Brass City aggregation would be forced to bite the dust. Lou Cronan listened tc the New Havenites' shout for while and finally went down and arrange a game. Since the game was arranged the Nonpareils met the Berkshires of Bridgeport and the best they could do was tie game, 0 to 0. Last Thursday they encountered the Franklins who All Waterbury had smothered and again there was nc scoring, consequently the people of this city knew yesterdays game would be a sinecure for the home team and very little interest was manifested.
 The game was on six minutes yes terday when Stowe was damned through for touchdown. Cronan failed at goal as he did on chance: he had later in the game.
 Waterbury had several subs i, line. but at that the visitors did not have chance and they were fortu- nate that the score was not bigger. When the home team saw that the game was we'll in hand they resorte1 to bunting as did the Nonpareils and during the remainder of the gam much kicking ensued. The lineup:

BOARD OF REVIEW
HOLD SECRET SESSION
Work of Assessors has been gone Over
and Final Report will be Made
Public next Tuesday.

The Lake County Board of Review
are working rapidly these days on the
equalization of the assessments of
Lake County and will have their re-
port ready on the day of adjournment
which occurs next Tuesday. So far
none of their work has been made
public and none will be until the
Boards labors are concluded for the
reason that no change in an assess
ment is definitely fixed until the
Board is ready for adjournment
Every action they take on any assess
ment is subject to reconsideration at
any time while the board is in ses-
sion, and no matter what changes the
board may conclude on, additional
information may come to light be-
tween now and their adjournment
sufficient to cause another change.
John c. Wingate, a member of the
State Board of Tax Commissioners
spent yesterday afternoon with the
Board giving instruction and clear

confronted them.
He was very reticent as to any ac-

to compliment the work done very
highly and said that while Lake
County was one of the most difficult
counties in the state in which to Sc
cure an equalized assessment thai
it was also one in which the besi
work was done. He said that the
work of the Township assessors this
year was uniformly good and this
would leave less difficult work fol

POISONED At
CEDAR LAKE
Two Strangers Dope their
Drinks for Evil
Designs
IN PRECARIOUS CONDITION
Three Physicians Work for Days to
Save lives of Daughters of "0ld
Skipper Adam Hetzler."
Especial Correspondence

Cedar Lake, June 30th.-Both Ce-
dar Lake and Crown Point are stirred
up over sensational poisoning
which occurred at Cedar Lake last
Tuesday.
Old Adam Hetzler who has been
boatman on the Lake for years has
two daughters. one Mary aged 4 and
the other Barbara aged twenty two.
The girls were riding in the boat
with their father on Tuesday and
were invited by two fellows who were
hanging about the lake and who were
entire strangers to them, to go into
one of the drinking places which are
abundant about the lake. The girls
went in several places during the
day and drank both pop and beer
with the two men. At night they
were taken sick. All the symptoms
of poison were apparent, severe
cramps and nausea. They became
so violently sick that Drs. Black
stone and Geisel Of Crown Point and
a Lowell physician were hurriedly
called in consultation there being
no physicians at Cedar Lake. 1t was
very plain that both girls We're doped
with some kind of poison which had
been placed in their drink. None OF
the physicians on the case are able
to tell what kind of poison was used.
The two girls are still in a very
precarious condition and at least one
of the doctors is with them almost
constantly There are many of these
hangers-on at the lake and the girls
are unable to identify either of the
strangers or to give their names.

Hill Disappears.

Taylor made his complaint before
Deputy Prosecutor Bremmer at
Crown Point Warrants were issued
for both wardens Taylors affi-
davit was backed up by several wit
nesses who claim that Hill and Clark
We're making a wholesale business of
the seining permission. Clark was
served with warrant and gave bond
of the sum of $500 to appear at
Crown Point on Tuesday. Hill dis
appeared directly he heard he was
wanted in court
State Commissioner Sweeney has
been ordered to appear in court and
it is said he will ge arrested on sight.
Speaking about the case this morn
ing, Deputy Prosecutor Bremmer
said. THE law does not warrant the
seining of any open water for any
purpose whatsoever. 1t is the
opinion of game wardens through
out the country however, that carp
and dog-fsh are a detriment and that
amy means US, to sexterminate them
is justifiable. As an ethical propo-
sition Mr.. Sweeney did not exceed
his authority in authorizing the depu-
ties to drag Cedar Lake for the enc
mics of the good food fish. Those
instructions however, if properly
given, did not warrant the deputy
wardens in making other disposal
of the desirable species than tossing
them back into the water
When Commissioner Sweeney
comes before the court, he will be
charged as accessory before the fact
He is expected to repudiate the lib
critics taken by his subordinates.

Deputy Game Wardens are
Generous To Their
Friends
ENERMINATORS FOR FAIR
Dogfsh, Carp, Sunfsh, Pickerel and
Bass-All Look Alike to
Them

M. U. Hill of Ft. Wayne and Cyrus
Clark, who have been in charge of
the fish hatchery at Cedar Lake the
last four years, and have during
that time borne the title of fish
wardens, are accused of fragrant vio-
lation of the game law. Charges
were preferred against them yester-
day by Al Taylor of Cedar Lake. In
his complaint Taylor alleges that
Hill and Clark have been seining
Cedar Lake for carp, dog fish and
other undesirable members of the
finny tribe under instructions from
q. b. Sweeny, state game and fish
commissioner of Indiana. Taylor
alleges further that everything that
has looked like fish has come into
the net of Hill and Clark and that
they have been making good fellows
of themselves by giving to their
friends choice messes of croppies,
sunfish, black bass and pickerel.
Hill and Clark claim to have acted
under instructions from their supe-
rior, but those instructions are said
to have specified that all game and
good food fish should be thrown back
into the lake. This part of the in
struetions, Taylor claims, has not
been complied with, and the result
has been that Cedar Lake has been
threatened with fish famine not
only in the coarser but the choicer
varieties.

CAUGHT BETWEEN TRAINS
Childish Curiosity Over Stalled
Freight Train Lures Him Into
Fatal Trap

Caught between a freight train
and the fast mail on the Michigan
Central which rushes through the
city from the east at TAP p. m,
Charles Bradt was struck by the
passenger train, carried along for
500 feet and then dropped lifeless
over a switch midway between
Jessie street and Calumet avenue.
He left his home at S61 State
street saying that he was going to
visit his aunt, Mrs. Ed Rothbun, GIT
Logan street.
He did as he said he would and
remained at the Rothburn residence
until his attention was attracted to
a freight train which he saw stop
in front of the house on the Michi-
gan tracks.
The brakeman got OF the caboose
and went forward apparently for
the purpose of locating the trouble
that had caused the delay.
This aroused the curiosity of the
boy and he Immediately started in
the direction of the freight.
On the way he met George E!xn
and Lawrence Westerburger both
playmates of his, and the three set
fout to see what was the matter with
the train The two boys started
away with Bradt but before the had
!
her son Lawrence to return and the
Flyn boy decided to go back with
him.
Bradt said, I'm going over to
see that freight whether you boys
go or not With this he left his
companions and started toward the
train.
Caught In Trap.
The boy was going west toward
the depot in order to get around the
freight train so that he could cross
the tracks and go to his home or
State street, when the fast mail came
quickly upon him.
After a moments indecision he
made dash across the track but
was too late.
The big passenger engine struck
him and carrying him 500 feet,
tossed his mangled body to the side
of the track where it struck switch
and lay there until found by the
trainmen. There was no eye witness
of the accident except the engineer.
He saw the accident and stopped
his train as quickly as possible. The
body was placed on one of the cars
and carried to the railroad station,
and subsequently was taken homie.
An examination showed the arm
was broken, the face bruised and
there are indications of internal in
juries which were probably the inn
mediate cause of the boys death.
Coroner Hoskins was notified and
held the inquest today at 2:3O p. m.
The boys mother is almost pros
trated.
