the members of the party on the shore
heard him cry and saw him disappear
under the surface of the water In
stead of going out to where he had
disappeared the four people on the
beach lost their heads and in their eX-
element ran up and down the shore
of the lake lake instead of doing what
they could to save the drowning man.

Finally Mrs. Kasper who was near
the old pumping station and heard the
excitement on the beach east of the
park called to Joe Kasper and told him
that some one was drowning in the

The friends of the drowned young

the water of the lake was only four
feet deep at the place where Carl Ju-
hansen was drowned, the body was not
recovered for an hour.

be done to revive the young man after

Preparations are being completed for
the twenty fourth annual convention
of the Indiana State Federation of
Labor, which will be held in vincennes
beginning September % The mem
bers of the organization in the con-
vention city are completing plans for
the suitable entertainment OF the Wis

siderable pleasure. But there are other
things than pleasure that are expected
TO occupy the time of the delegates,
and among these is the matter of poll
tics. 1t is expected that the federation
will reaf1rm that stand taken at the
last convention indorsing the political
program of the American Federation of
Labor.
Various matters of legislation also
are expected to come UP including the
matter of child labor and prison labor,
the matter of a garnishee law factory
inspector, mining laws, etc. Relative
to a garnishee law, a circular letter has
been sent out to the local labor unions
in Indiana by Edgar A. Perkins, pres
ident of the State Federation asking
that the local unions express their
opinions in regard to such law
Seeks Opinion on Garnishee Law.
The circular letter says that at
each session of the Indiana legislature
since 1894 there has been introduced a
bill seeking to change the exemption
laws of the state, or as more popularity
known, a bill providing for a garnishee
law. The legislative committee of the
Indiana State federation of Labor has
always opposed this legislation. To
this time those favoring a garnishee
| law have been unsuccessful. There will
be another effort made at the next SEES
sion fthe legislature to pass a bill of
this kind. The proposed bill will pro-
vide that 10 per cent ofone's wages may
he attached weekly Cor monthly, as the
case may be- until the Judgment OBJ
tanned may be satisfied. It will differ
in some respects from those bills that
lhave been introduced in the past. but
in the essence and in the end sought to
be attained, the bill will be practically
the same. The merchants of the state

hope of saving the young mans life
was abandoned.
The body was taken to Hahlweg's
undertaking establishment in Whiting
where it will be held pending the m
quest which will be held this Afternoon.
A clever plan was used by Joe Kas-
per and his assistants to prevent the
IIake currents from carrying the body
out into the deep water The first
thing that was done was to stretch a
gill net around the spot where the
young man supposed to have dis
Iappeared. All that was then necessary
was to make a complete search of the
territory within the net and the body
was found within that territory.

fighters, and when Finerty charged
upon Gornley, who was holding the
fort at an abandoned office of the
Gormley livery stable, the latter pulled
the trigger of a rusty 80 caIiber re-
volver three times, the last time dis
charging a bullet which struck the boy
in the back of the head The shot was
fired deliberately at him. and it is
thought that Gormley knew that 1t
was loaded.
Short Time to Live.
without word the victim of the
1eaden missile dropped to the ground
and laid there in a pool of blood until
he was picked up by the employees of
the livery stable and taken into the
Gormley house 1t was seen that he
could live but a few hours at the most,
and the physicians who were called at
once could do little for him. His play
mate, John GormIey, was terrified and
for some time was unable to explain
how the boy was shot The Gormley
boy was placed under arrest. but it was
decided to release him.
One, Shell in Gun.
It has not been explained how the
boy came into possession of the rusty
revolver, but il has been in general
use for some time as part of the
Jesse James and Nick Carter equip
ment The other boy was unarmed.
The gun was old and rusty and was
probably picked up somewhere after
being discarded, or was purchased for
small amount. There was but one
shell in the gun, which was the extent
of the ammunition possessed by the
! defender of the improvised fort.
Boys Were Friends.
AS far as is known. the boys were
