KINKADE IN ROLE
OF HAWKSHAW
Roams Through "Redlight
District" With Agent;
Taken for Detective.

1t was one on the West Hammond
dives last night and E. a. Kinkade was
the man as done it"
About 6 o'clock last night Mr.. Kin
kade accompanied by one of his new
agents traversed West Hammond's
toughest district on State street and as
he walked leisurely past the dives it
was rumored among the various dive
keepers that the pair were more plain
clothes men from Chicago From then
on the dives assumed a more quiet de-
meanor and the usual gaiety that
reIgned through the dumps was not SO
noticeable.
Mr. Kinkade did not hear of the i'm
preston he had given the West State
street dives until this morning and
when he was told he laughed long and
loud
The West Hammond board will con-
vene again tomorrow night and then it
is believed it viii be decided whether
or not the dives viii be granted new
licenses or be ousted from the village.
A little inside information" was
given out this morning to the effect
that the State street dives would be
granted licenses simply to sell liquors
but not to run dives and if after get
ting their licenses the dive feature Is
continued they Will be indicted and
their licenses revoked.
Public sentiment still is against hay
ing the dives in the village but whether
that will have any influence on the
members at the meeting tomorrow
night remains to be seen.

cidentalIy Discharged, the Force
Throwing Him Into Water.

After an investigation by the coroner
of the mysterious death of Walter
Wiseman, jr, the 14-year-old boy whose
body was found in a marsh at Wheat
field Township Monday, a verdict was
reached that the lad had aceidently shot
himself. The boy had been working in
Rensselaer,, Ind, and Saturday evening
started to walk to his home several
miles beyond. Thinking to have q good
time In his way, he took along a shot
gun. AS he was passing the marsh he
evidently saw some plover, and after
rowing out into the marsh IN an old
boat, shot one of them. He then placed
his gun on the seat in front. while he
attempted to reach for his game. and
in some manner the weapon was dis
charged. The load entered his neck
near the left side, the force OF the dis
charge throwing him from the boat into
a shallow spot OF three feet Of water.
The body was found in this spot, still

a crop of fruit this year from his
fine orchard just west of town that
proves Chelan valley land is valu-
