JUSTICE CARTER
DIES At HIS HOME
Succumbs After Few Weeks
Illness to Injury Re
ceived by Fall.

Surrounded by members of his family
Justice of the Peace r. W. Carter
passed away peacefully at his home at
II o'clock this morning. Judge Car
ter's death was not unexpected as the
illness which proved fatal covered a
period of about six weeks, although his
condition was not considered serious
until about a week before his death. At
this time his son and daughter We're
notified of his fatal illness, and We're
able to reach his bedside before he
died.
The direct cause of his death is
thought by some to be the result of a
bad fall which he received sometime
ago. Not realizing its seriousness he
neglected to give it proper medical at
tention. The injury developed into
Paralysis of the Brain" and finally
succeeded in claiming its victim.
Judge Carter was born September 3.
1887 al Richmond. Ind, where he spent
the early years of his life. Desiring to
secure better education than the COM
mon schools could afford he entered
Earlham college where he got founda-
ton for a course in law, his chosen
profession. After studying here for a
period of two years he entered the law
class at the University of Michigan and
graduated in the class of 1868. He then
practiced at Anderson, Ind, having
previously spent a few years reading
law in the Office of General William
Gross at Newcastle. Ind. The Call OF
the West" however, induced him to
locate in Ellsworth, Kansas, where he
proved to be most successful, being
elected as judge of the circuit court OF
that district.
He returned to his native state after
eighteen years of residence in Kansas
and realizing the possibilities of this
region opened up his office in this city
He was favored in the last election by
being chosen as Justice of the Peace
and was serving in that capacity at the
time of his death.
The deceased leaves a wife, daughter
and a son. engaged in the drug bust
ness at Saltwater, Oklahoma, to mourn
his loss, besides a host of friends. The
funeral. which will be private, will take
place at the home of the deceased a
40 Doty street tomorrow afternoon.

the trouble started
In the morning his friend missed his

touched him, he reported the matter to
the police. Smith was brought to the
station house. where he admitted TAX

mysteriously disappeared from his
pocket, together with his own roll. lie

He was locked up to await the out

of his arrest. She came to the station
and explained. that knowing her hus-
bands fondness for the red eye, she
thought it was best as a matter of pro-

she be the cashier for awhile. So while
her hubby slept, she relieved him OF

CITY OF TRAVERSE MUST
KEEP IN INDIANA WATERS
Chief of Police Shippy of Chicago De-
cIures That His Men Must Watch
Closely the Actions of the Gamblers
Boat officials Not Afraid.

Chief of Police Shippy issued orders
to the South Chicago police yesterday
to watch closely the actions of the
City Of Traverse promoters to see that
no gambling is done in Illinois. Be
yond this the chief has not determin
ed as yet how far he can go, though
he said he was studying the question.
The gambling boat was expected TO
make its first trip yesterday after it's
winter overhauling at an expense of
$1,000. but no start was made. The
delay was said not TO have been caus-
ed on account of expected police inter-
ference, but through delay in the ar
engagements for the wireless telegraph
service.
Il will see that no laws are violated
in my territory" said Chief Shippy in
the afternoon as he waited for word
to come that the boat had left the
South Chicago pier. I do not see at
present how I am going to stop men
from embarking in the small boats,
going into Indiana waters on the
Traverse and there doing their gambl-
ing"

Hammond Police Called Upon to
Bring Back the Wounded
Three Are Arrested.

a fierce and bloody riot broke out
at an early hour this morning in the
foreign camps at Gibson, and as a re
suit of the lighting twenty-five men
are seriously wounded, some of them
in a critical condition and not expected
to live. Knives, clubs, blackjacks and
revolvers figured in the fight, some OF
the men using crude slung shots made up
of heavy iron bolt wrapped in piece
of cloth, capable of infiicting terrible
injuries.
The rioting first started about I
o'clock this morning, when the oc-
cupants or one large camp. apparently
under the influence of liquor. started
to clean out another camp. The men
were successful after a bloody battle
and with the lust of conflict upon them,
the whole settlement was soon en-
gagged in combat. In the large shacks
the men battled individually and in
groups, until the cries were heard out
side the district and the place soon was
bedlam and shouts and curses in the
unintelligable language. Men fell and
were hustled into shacks and camps
where they We're thrown in hunks to
lie there unattended.
Operator Notifies Police.
Information of the conflict reached
the ears of a telegraph operator who
Immediately wired to the police OF
Hammond In the meantime one of
the injured men crawled to Hammond
where he reported the details of the
battle, and armed with John Doe war
rants, the officers went to Gibson. The
conditions they found there Were
appalling. The injured men were
stretched about in cots and in hunks
without the aid of medical attendants
and fully twenty-five men We're seri-

they will not live. The cause of the

this afternoon and the injured will bt

WEST HAMMOND VISITED
BY ANOTHER SMALL RAID.

There was another raid in West
Hammond Saturday night when Joseph
Harringtons brother Floyd, who was
running the Silver Dollar was ar
rested on a charge of selling liquors
without a license.
When the dive continued to remain
open officers Kosmalo and Kulszyk
walked inside and arrested him just
as he was in the act of serving two
drinks of whisky.
He was taken TO the police station
where he furnished bonds for S25 and
was released.
This afternoon when his case came
up Justice Flynn dismissed the case on
the grounds that Harrington was not
an owner of the place but was merely
working as bartender.
The decision of Justice Flynn came
as a surprise to most OF those present
but no one seemed to condemn the

FLYNN COLLECTS
SMALL FINES
Clean Up of West Hammond
Resorts Completed With
Court Ceremony.

Joseph Harrington and Lewis Baxter
of West Hammond, whose places were
raided by the police last Thursday
night charged with keeping houses of
ill-fame, came up this morning before
Justice J. ]. Flynn.
The first case up was that of Har-
rington, charged with keeping a dis
orderly house. He refused to plead
guilty and was defended by Attorney
]. A. Gavit of Hammond. After argu-
ing the case for about half an hour,
Justice Flynn fined him $50 and costs,
amounting to $50.
After this case was disposed of that
of Lewis Baxter came up on the same
charge, Baxter pleaded guilty and as it
was his first offense and as he had
never been indicted by the grand jury
he was given fine of IS and costs,
amounting to Sill.
Next came the cases of the nine
girls who were arrested on the night of
the raid. At the instigation of their at
torney J. A. Gavit, they pleaded guilty
and were given the minimum fine of
So and costs, amounting to 81 and
were ordered to get out of the village
as soon as they could get their belong
| ings together.
| When the judge asked who was go
ing to pay the girls fines, Harrington
/ came to the front, and pulling out a
fat roll, counted out the necessary
amount and handed it over to Justice
Flynn.
| August Arnold, who went the girls
| bonds was present and a smile of sat
isfaction stole over his face when
| they were all lined up in the court
room as he knew that there was no
chance of them escaping. After the
| trial Harrington seemed to think that
he was fined too heavily, but did not
make any kick about it.
The village hall was crowded to the
full capacity by spectators who We're
eager to see what would be done with
those arrested.
VIII Locate I'm Hammond.
A story to the effect that the girls
| who were ordered out of West Ham
mond this morning will take up quart
ers in Hammond, is gaining no little
ground in the village across the line
today.
It is known to be a fact that one OF
the girls, who was an inmate of a
West Hammond dive, has been and is
now staying at certain place in Ham
mond.
If the stories that come from across
the line this afternoon are to be giver
any credit, it is time for the Hammond
police to get busy and get them ex-
terminated here before they are firmly
established.
Several of the girls, eliminates o.
the dives, were in Hammond today
but whether or not they intend to stay
is not known.
