William Blair Endures the
Agonies for Several
Frightful Seconds.
FALLS FROM THE TRAIN

scratched in Imminent Danger
as Rear Coach Passes.

William Blair, aged so years. came
so close TO being killed that the man
is very thankful TO have escaped with
out the loss Of life or limb. The Ce-
dar Lake excursion train was just pull
ing into Hammond at S.45 last night
when Blair attempted TO get or while
the train was IN motion. Just as he
jumped he lost his footing and was
thrown with great force against the
curhing OF the platform. The man
rolled in between the trucks Of tho
train and the curb of the platform ana
remained in that position until the
coach had passed. The slightest
movement on his part while in that
perilous position would have meant the
loss of either an arm or leg and pos
sibly his life. The fact that he had
jumped from the last coach and had
but one truck to pass him was pieca
of good luck for Blair. - ne probably
could not have lain Inotionless for
long.
When picked up it was found that la
had not entirely escaped injury. His
face and hands were badly lacerated
and besides he was suffering from slight
internal injuries. He was also affected

Quarrel Over Woman Causes
Tom Dolton to Shoot
Calhoun Wallace.
GARY is The Scene
Police Thus Far Unable to Locate
Assailant Who Escapes
After Tragedy.

During a brawl between two Gary
negroes over a negro woman, Tom Dol
ton whipped out revolver and shot
Calhoun Wallace. who Will die. Pros
ecuting Attorney Boone left today at
noon to take his ante-mortem state
ment.
The injured man was picked up by
people who ran to the scene upon hear
ing the shots fired and an examination
by a local doctor revealed the fact
that the bullet had struck the man in
the back and penetrated the abdomen.
The affair happened in what is known
as MeKay's camp which is north of the
Lake Shore tracks and east of Broad
way Wallace and Dolton had been at
outs for some time.
The trouble was over . negro woman
in whom they were both interested.
The argument became more and more
heated and finally Dolton pulled out a
gun and said he was going to shoot
Wallace Loses His Nerve.
AS soon as Wallace saw the gun he
ran. but this made no difference with
Dolton for he evidently had murder
in his heart and he fired al the fleeing
man.
Wallace fell to the street groaning.
His assailant disappeared in the dark
ness and the crowds who heard the
shots and rushed up to the PROSTATE
man, found blood on his clothes and
knew that he had been badly injured.
The doctors examination revealed
the extent of the injuries and it was
decided to simply have the wounds
dressed and leave the matter of probing
for the bullet to the doctors in st.
Margaret's hospital where it was de-
cided to send him.
officers were at once detailed on the
case and an effort was made to find
Dolton who had fed when the crowds
gathered around the injured man. The
| search was carried on over nearly the
whole OF Gary and every camp was
visited in an effort to find the fugitive.
| No Trace as Yet.
| The efforts were unavailing however
| for up to a late hour no trace OF the
assassin could be found. The officers
even surrounded a place where it was
thought the negro might be IN hiding
but they found that their quarry had
not been there.
! There are a number Of desperate
! characters in the negro population OF
Gary who have been causing the police
| considerable trouble.
Only recently four coiored men
robbed a negro woman OF $40 in cash
The woman had just been in the isoIa-
tion hospital and was not strong
enough to have resisted them If she
had dared to do so. The men got away
on an eastbound Indiana Harbol
freight train.

Pine Station Terrorized q by
Crazed Foreigner With
Gun.
He SHOOTS ONE MAN
Armed With Double Barreled Weapon
He Drives People to Barri-
cade Houses.

Armed with a big double barrel
shot gun, without any hat or coat, a
big six foot foreigner went on a
rampage last night and early this
morning at Pine station, few miles
south of Hammond. and after shooting
one man through the hand, threw the
residents of that section for miles
around into panic The man was not
known to anybody who caught a
glimpse of him but all declared
that he was unkempt and looked like
a wild man.
He first appeared along the railroad
track and with his big gun he pro-
ceeded to make a target of every per-
son he saw. An East Chicago man.
whose name is not known. happened
to meet the wild man. and the latter
Immediately raised his weapon and
fired charge. One of the bullets
ploughed a hole through the East Chi
cago mans hand, and the latter fed
as fast as he could for safety.
The matter was reported to the po-
lice of Hammond and East Chicago and
several officers of these stations, to-
gether with Deputy Sheriff frost and
posse started for the scene. Up to a
41lE i4OQI l44lS otltIIlOOU they were SllIl
securing the dense woods and under
brush about this section for a trace of
the man.
He is described as being a man very
large of stature, wore no hat or coat
and his clothes were said to be frayed
and torn as if he had spent some time
iin the woods. He wore a vest which
was completely banded around with 3
heavy cartridge belt, and every pouch
in the belt was filled with ammunition
lie had wild look about the eyes and
was continually muttering TO himself
in an incOherent manner
AS he walked up the track and road
about Pine Station he took shot al
any person he saw. or even at houses
and barns. The people living in the
vicinity at once took to barricading
their doors and windows as best they
could, and the wild man held sway like
a king wherever he appeared. He was
/ last seen making towards the under
brush, The officers and posse vii
probably locate the man before nigh
ana he viii be brought TO Hammond
where he will be examined as TO his
sanity.

HAMMOND SPEED
MANIA GROWS
McAleer and Crumpacker
Join the Ranks of Would
Be Autoists.

Today there appears in the LAKE
COUNTY TIMES two advertisements In
serted there by we'll known Hammond
citizens who have decided TO dispose OF
their old family horses and buy instead
a faster and more or less tractablo
benzine buggy.
W. J. MacAleer has fine buggy and
a classy" bob where by it is propelled,
but horse meat is too slow for him and
SO he has advertised Il for sale and
will turn the proceeds into an auto
and will receive hereafter gasoline and
repair bills instead of the hay and feed
variety.
Peter Crumpacker is another man
who has deliberately elected to spend
an hour or 50 under q greasy auto
mobile every once in a while inspecting
its inwards and trying to diagnose its
troubles rather than to be met by his
hired man every morning with a buggy
and a gentle horse.
Peter Crumpacker moves deliberate
ly. That is when the motive power
comes from within. He evidently has
become the victim Of the sped mania
for he has decided TO part with the
/ faithful family horse and IS even
/ willing to throw in a riding pony in
/ order TO get an automobile.
These cases would not be so signf-
1 fcant If it were not for the fact that
one after another of the Hammond
f business men are disposing Of the old
/ family horses and are now riding about
Il in automobiles.
A Hammond automobile club Is the
logical outcome Of 1t all, and then a
family horse won't be worth the hay It
would take to feed il fl a winter.

LOSES CONTROL
OF HIS AUTOMOBILE
John L. Fitzerald's Machine
Swerves and Runs
Into Ditch.

John e. Fitzgerald of this city had
a narrow escape Yesterday while he
was on his way T6me f8om South Bend
in his automobile. He was going
along near Hobart on as pretty a piece
of road as there is in the country.
All at once and without the slight
est warning the wheel of his machine
turned in the hands of the driver and
the machine ran into the ditch. AS
the driver saw that it would be i'm
possible to avoid the ditch, he steered
directly for it, thinking that it would
be better to hit it squarely than to
enter it sideways and then turn over.
The automobile ran down the Slight
embankment and then came to a sud
den stop at the bottom of the declivity.
No one was thrown out and FORUM
ately no one was hurt.
Steering Gear Strained.
The steering gear was strained. how
ever, and Mr.. Fitzgerald was compeu-
ed to leave it there until repairs could
be made. He and his family were
taken aboard the cars of T. S. Betz
and A NJ. Turner who were in the
party and the return to Hammond was
safely made.
Mr.. Fitzgerald's car will be return
ed TO him today Although the acci-
dent did not end disastrously as might
have been expected under the circum-
stances it gave the occupants of the
car a good scare. Mr.. Fitzgerald says
it is one of those unaccountable things
about a car. He says he cannot un-
derstand how it should swerve to one
side, apparently without any reason.
The party had been TO Michigan
City and LaPorte on their way to South
Bend, and up until the accident to Mr..
Fitzgerald's machine occurred there had
not even been a tire punctured.

Shoshone journal. [volume] (Shoshone, Idaho) 1884-1931, 1907-09-06

The Shoshone public schools opened
last Monday morning and the town has
begun to fix its habits to be guided by
the regularity of the school bell ring
ing.
Shoshone has reason to be proud of
its public schools and is prepared to be
two grades prouder when the conditions
justify the addition to the high school
that will keep the young men and
women at the home school until pre-
pared for college.
The schools have made a splendid
start this fall. Prof. w. C. Thompson,
the principal, is so we'll known to the
citizens that to them he needs no fur
ther introduction, but the Journal
reaches many strangers who are look
ing for just such school as we have
here in which to place their children
and for their benefit the information is
given that Prof. Thompson has been in
charge of the Shoshone schools for six
years. He was educated in the public
schools of Bismark, N. D., the Missouri
Normal at Kirksville and the Missouri
State University. He stands at the
head of his profession in Idaho.
The grammar grade is in charge of
Miss Irene Rohrer, of Nebraska. This
is Miss Rohrer's first term in Shoshone.
She was educated in the public schools
of Kearney, Nebr., and at the Nebraska
