ENDING 4 PETTY ABUSE.

The conference of the republican
ton ought TO augur better things A
source of the prevalent contempt for
and defiance of law is the conduct of
lawmakers. When representative men
chosen for this important and honor
able task are known to play false
with the public business and indulge
in waste and extravaganza for the
sake of providing a few more hench-
men with a chance to get money out
of the treasury a suggestion of con-
tempt Tor law and lawmakers is In
evitably fostered. It is not an offense
peculiar to Indiana; but it is essent-
sailv 50 little, so degrading that one

PHONEY AID SAYS BAT. y

Nelson Says Effort To Advertise West
Hammond Bout With His Name is
q Eal,e.

Battling Nelson has an idea that the
promoters of the fight that is to be
pulled off in West Hammond tonight
are going to try some phoney business
with him, and so he has written the
following letter of explanation to the
editor of this paper.
If it was the intention of the local
fight promoters to advertise their fight
in this matter, the following letter Will
set them right
To the Editor, LAKE COUNTY TIMES:
Just a line to deny the report that
some one is trying to make the people
of Hammond believe that I am going
to appear at your city on Saturday
night. One of the Chicago papers
wired me for a denial and I wired
them that I have been in Minneapolis
all week and will be in st. Paul next
week. 1 am doing a fine business, and
am very much satisfied with what I
am getting here. I don't think it
right for any one to be using my name
for advertising. When the people get
there they will read a phoney tele-
gram stating 1 can't come, but 1 am
very sorry, etc, and put me in bad.
VIII you kindly deny in the columns
of THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES that l will
not appear at West Hammond on Sat
urday night as 1 am up here in the
northern country Not that I wouldn t
like to, as I would only be too glad
to be in West Hammond, but just to
set me right with my friends so that
they Will know that I am not trying
to bunko them. Thanking you for
your favor 1 will close, with kindest
regards to all my Hammond friends
not forgetting yourself and little Joe
Sherry. Sincerely,
BATTLING NELSON.

pENDLET0N, Ore, May Is. - John
Connolly, a sheepherder, who was shot
and killed at o'clock last evening at
Pine City, Morrow County, by Otis Nc
Carly, while the former was resisting
arrest. With Allen Thompson and
Charles Bartholomew, McCarty was
hunting for the man suspected of setting
fire to the freight car in which a man
was burned at Foster Station yesterday
morning. McCarty called to him to
halt three times, shooting after the
third call
Before dying, Connolly said he had
been mentally off for several days, and
this was the reason he did not throw up
his hands.
The verdict of the Coroner's jury Civ
en- at Echo last night exonerates Me-
Carly from all blame, but the case will
probably be referred to the grand jury
at the coming term of court, in Morrow
county.
The identity of the man burned in the
freight car at Foster Station is still
unknown, William Wilson, soldier of
the Twenty.ffth Battery of Field Ar.
tillery, is still held in the County Jail
here. He had charge of the car contain
ing household goods and two horses
shipped from Fort Riley, Kansas, to
Colonel S, NJ. Taylor, Port Townsend

about the men in the car nor of the
origin of the fire. 1t is believed he is
concealing the facts.

The theory is that he or Wilson, or
both, were involved in the murder of the
burned man. Further Investigations are

of the day was spent in the discussion
of the eighth section of the bill, relat-
ing to the personnel of the interstate
commerce commission, resulting in the
elimination of an entire section and re-
storing the present law which provides
for five commissioners at salaries of
$500. While the debate on this section
was in progress, Tillmam took the floor
in behalf of ex-senator Chandler, which
