Desperate Revolver Battle Before
Brave Officer Dies OF Wounds
Inflicted by Robbers.
MEN CHASED TO CORNFIELD AND CAPTURED
Big Posse Led by Brother of Dead Sheriff Oglesby Want
to Lynch Prisoner and Are Held Back
With Guns

Winnimac, Oct. 5.-WhiIe attempting
TO place three yeggmen under arrest in
the railroad yards of this city, at
o'clock this morning, Sheriff Charles
H. OgIesby of Pulaski county, was
shot through the body by one of the
men and before aid could reach him
died where he had fallen. Before he
sank into unconsciousness. he engaged
in a revolver fight with the three des-
peradoes and wounded two OF them.
A posse was organized as soon as the
news of the shooting reached the city,
and a hundred indignant men pursued
the three men to a nearby corhlleIu
where they had taken refuge. LED py
the brother of the dead sheriff, they
surrounded the field and poured volley
after volley into the corn. The ruInans
returned the fire until their amunita-
tion was all gone, and then they were
captured by the officers. The posse
with augmented forces wanted to
string the three men to a nearby pole.
but the officers with drawn weapons,
held the crowd at bay. Several OF
them climbed into trees and fired many
shots at the three prisoners as they
were led along. narrowly missing the
officers and the prisoners. They were
finally lodged in jail. Two Of the pris-
Dners were badly injured in the revol-
yer fight with the sheriff, and one. Of
hem will die
The three men who are thought to
be desperate yeggmen, broke into a
store at Royal City last night, and 1t
was for this crime that the sheriff
tried to arrest the men. Oglesby re-
ceived word early this morning that
the men had boarded a train on the
PennsyIvanfa railroad and We're on
their W. to sssS-ttss71ITln fSs~:sEo o-ieft tho
house early to intercept the men and
as he was walking along the tracks
the three men came out from behind a
frei~ht car. He called to them to
rnrow up their hands. but instead of
complying with his demand, they
opened fire. One bullet went through
his body and another into his shoulder.
He dropped to the ground but kept up
firing until his revolver was empty.
One of the men dropped to the ground
but was picked up by his pals and they
all ran out into a cornheld
Several men were attracted by the
shooting and che posse was soon organ
ized. John Oglesby brother of the
sheriff led the men. but when the mur-
derers of his brother were under ar
rest, he pleaded with his neighbors to
let the law take its course 1t is
thought that the mob may yet break
into the Jail and kill the prisoners.
Word was sent to Crown Point by the
local authorities and Mr.. Farley with
his bloodhounds were asked to come to
the scene but when he arrived tho
men had been captured

MURDER
FOR GARY POLICE?
Discovery of Dead Body Be
side Lake Shore Tracks,
Arouses Suspicion.
WAS PUSHED OFF THE TRAIN
At Least Officers So Believe From
Story Related By Witnesses of
Alleged Quarrel.
(special to Lake Counts Times.l !

Gary, Oct 5.-Gary is confronted
with another murder mystery which
came TO the fore ground yesterday
afternoon when the Gary police found
the dead body of a man known in Gary
as Bad Eye" lying near the Lake
Shore tracks. Nothing Of his history
is known. not even his right name. The
police have learned that a man whose
description tailed with that of bad
Eye" was riding with two men on a
Lake Shore train when they began a
quarrel with him. The quarrel led to
blows and in their fury the two men
threw Bad Eye" from the car He
fell in such a way that he was killed.
The two men who had thrown him
over board continued on their way on
the freight train until the train crew,
who had witnessed the quarrel, and
who did not realize that bad Eye
was injured, put the others off the cars
The police today are at a loss to find
a clesw. although it is supposed tha
the miscreants have sought refuge in
Chicago
Bad Eye" was taken to a local un-
dertaking establishment where an in
quest was held.
1t is thought that the two men who
committed the deed could be identified
by working men in Gary, as they are
thought to have been employed there
some time ago The three had been
loafing about Gary and were about to
take a train for Chicago, and after
proceeding part way began their
quarrel.

FACTORY TO LOCATE
Chicago Competitor Of Betz
Would Build Plant in
Griffith.

Griffith, Ind, Oct. 5-The town board
recently received communications from
several reliable concerns that are seek
ing a desirable location near Chicago
and are attracted by the advantages
offered here.
Among the latest applicants is the
c. F. Britman company of Chicago,
which does a general manufacturing
business in electrical goods. with a
speciality of high grade electro-thera-
peutic and X-ray apparatus. They are
now located on Lake street in the city,
but wish to get out of their crowded
quarters and enlarge their plant. They
expect to add the manufacture of doc
tors automobiles to their other bust
ness If they can secure location here.
They guaraPtee to employ at least
100 men with a weekly pay roll of not
less than $4,000.
A meeting of the prominent citizens
will be called in a few days at which
a representative of the company will
be present to explain their needs more
clearly and definitely and to learn just
what inducements can be offered them.
They came well recommended and
have proofs of their reliability, so that
their location here would be a very
desirable acquisition.
The many improvements being made
in town are already bringing results
Various manufacturing concerns are
beginning to look in this direction
with much favor. They readily see
not only the advantages of the close
proximity to Chicago. but also the
splendid shipping facilities which are
offered them here.

4. NJ. TURNER At BAT
Sends Message to J. E. F'itz-
gerald from "Kaiserine'
to Even Up Matters.

William II. Gostlin, A. M. Turner and
F. S. Betz, the three Hammond men
who We're seized with the wander
lust some time ago and who are now
on the Atlantic as a beginning of their
European trip, have been heard from
again, the latest news coming from A.
NJ Turner AS yet Mr.. Betz has not
been heard from and his friends are
beginning to feel anxious. owing to the
ominous silence. They know that it is
yet too early for him to spend the
time in his stateroom.
According to Mr.. Turner the postmas-
ter is in a bad way and unless a ia
vorable report comes soon it might be
expected that Gostlin may fade away
TO a shadow and Mr.. Turner fill out
to the extent Of 800 pounds.
Such a conclusion is evident from a
wireless message that J. z. Fitzgerald
received at the Hammond distiilery yes
terday The message reads as follows:
j. E. Fitzgerald, Hammond: All
were we'll until we crossed the ferry.
Gostlin lost his teeth. Evidence of vio-
lent stomach disorder.
"(Signed), a. NJ TURNER"
A second one followed:
j. Z. Fitzgerald, Hammond: AL
we'll Purchased a new bridge for
Gostlin and viii compel him to wear
a baseball mask to prevent future loss
"(Signed), A NJ. Turner
Board the Kaiserine Augusta Vic
toria."
Friends of Mr.. Gostlin now expect
to receive a message from him to the
effect that Mr. Turner ordered his din
ner thrown directly into the ocean in
stead of having it brought before him
and thus save him the trouble Of feed
ing the fish"

A TRAMP WITH TASTE
During Absence of House
hold Cooks Square Meal
on Gas Stove.

W. J. Lamb, who lives with his family
on Roosevelt avenue. is still wonder
ing whether there exists a man who
has more nerve and arrogance than the
tramp who entered his home the other
day, and very deliberately started the
fire in the kitchen range and cooked
himself square meal
The tramp entered at a time when
nobody of the household was at home
and from the tracks he left he made
preparation for a feast. Everything
pointed TO the fact that the intruder
went about his work in deliberate
manner. He went TO the icebox where
he procured enough meat, and also sew
eral eggs. He did not spare the but
ter and certainly knew how TO cook
good coffee. A dish of delicious pre-
serves and a tasty piece of cake round
ed out his luncheon. after which he
departed.

He is speaking soft'p softly and
