CARCASS OF DOG

mains a Sickening Sight
Are Thrown in Gutter.
CITIZENS MAKE COMPLAINTS
Dead Body Lies in Front of Central
School House for Nearly
Twenty-Four Hours.

Seldom In the history of Hammond
has so shocking n thing been seen on
its public streets as was noticed by
hundreds of people yesterday evening
and this morning.
The body of a huge dog with blood
squirting from gun shot wounds and
literally dyeing the street, lay in the
gutter for nearly twenty-four hours be-
fore 1T was removed.
With its CLASSY eyes and bloody
mouth wide open, hurled against the
curb and walk. the dead brute furnish
ed grewsome spectacle for women
and children who passed up and down
the street
Women Faint mt Sight.
Several women were rendered so
faint at the sight that they could
scarcely walk.
The dog was shot and killed by the
police yesterday afternoon. The man
who shot it dragged the big brute to
the side Of the street and left it there.
The people Of Hammond, who saw the
sight were loud in their denunciation
of the police department and citizen
after citizen was outspoken in his crit
icism
Arraigns the Police.
That's a fine thing for a woman to
seq who is in a delicate condition, +"
said Hammond banker
Another citizen said, That's the
worst thing l ever saw in my life It's
enough to turn a mans stomach inside
out and I feel sorry for the women
who have to pass along Holman street
in front of the police station and see
that ugly bloody brute lying there
What kind of officers have we. any-
way"
Thinks Police Proud of Work.
South Holman street residents were
free with their commen. One promf-
nent tax payer said: 1T seems to me
as II the police were very proud of
their work. 1 have nothing to say
about killing the dog. but they ought
to be compelled to at least have the

Well. it's a fine advertisement for
the police said another, Right in

when 1t was learned that Saloonkeeper
Woszczynski knew something of the
fight he was reached by phone. The
story which Woszc3yski told was that
Dosinchansk came into his place OF
business this morning with his wrist
tied up and said that he had been rid
Ing in a street car in East Chicago
when the car was about to make a
railroad crossing with a locomotive
bearing down upon it.
Dfved Through Window
Disinchanski, in his anxiety to get
out of the car. dived through the win
dow of the car and lit on his wrist on
the pavement. That was too good a
story to be true, and so the d. ug store
of r. o. Ostrowsk was called for again
and this time one of the Ostrowski
brothers came to the phone. When
asked If he knew how Dosinchanski
was hurt he fnnocently denied any
knowledge of the accident
Later on, when confronted with the
story his drug clerk had told, the drug
gist finally admitted that he had not
told the truth and that he did know
that the accident or assault, whichever
1t is, did happen, but he denied any
knowledge of the manner In which 1t
happened.
The drug clerk said innocently. when
he thought that he was talking to the
doctor, that he did not believe Dostn-
chanskt would do anything to have his
wife arrested This is in direct con-
tradiction to the report which finally
came from the Ostrowskf drug store.
that Dosinchanski had injured his
wrist by putting his fist through a
window pane.
Fell in the Cellar.
Here are as nice a lot Of stories as
could have been manufactured by a
Baron Munchausen, and the public can
take its pick. The whole crowd Of
West Hammond people who know about
the case seem to have something they
want to conceal. and 1t is as impossible
TO get at the facts as though the in
cident happened In South Africa.
At any rate, John Dosinchanski had
his wrist badly cut, and whether he
dfyed out of q street car, has a wife
who knows how to use a butcher knife
or punched his fist through a window.
or fell down in the cellar is only
known to John Dosinchanski, and he
won't tellski.
