AGED COUPLE INJURED
 IN RUNAWAY ACCIDENT

PHOENIX, May 1l.-Sufrering from injuries received in runaway accident. Joseph Butts and wife. who reside about three and half miles east of Phoenix, were last night taken to the Sisters , hospital. Both are we'll advanced in years, being in the sixties, and while so far as learned the injuries are not considered as necessarily serious, it will be several days before they will have recovered from the severe shock. Dr. Win Wylie, who was called, fourd no bones broken, and no internal effects manifest at present.
 The accident occurred about 5:30 in the afternoon, while the couple were driving mule team en route to the city. Near the asylum on the Tempe road the team took fright at bicycle rider who was carrying large bundle and broke into a run. They ran about two hundred yards when the tongue of the wagon dropped down and the mules whirled in the road The aged couple were thrown into the road and the wagon turned over on top of them. MT. Butts was pinned under the vehicle, his shoulder, arm, hip and other parts of his body being badly bruised and it was first thought that his shoulder had been crushed, but this later proved not to be the ease. Mrs. Butts was also badly bruised.
 MT. sayre of the Valley Bank carhe along at the time of the accident and rendered assistance. The ambulance from the Golden Eagle stables was called and Mir. and Mrs. Butts were removed to the hospital at once. Both were resting comparatively easy last night and an early recovery is con. sidered probable.

 The charge of bribery is understood
 to be the outcome of the appointment by the board of supervisors of R. C.
 Talbot as district attorney of the coun-
 ty when E. E. Elinwood resigned the
 distric. attorneyship in March, 1906, to
 accept position as counsel for the
 Copper Queen company of Coehise
 county.
 There was a spirited contest for the Appointment between R. c. Talbot, a justice of the peace of Prescott, and Colonel ]. F. Wilson, former delegate
 to congress and one of the leaders of
 the Arizona bar.
 The appointment seemed about to go
 to Wilson when suddenly change oc- cured and the board of supervisors |appoirted Talbot. Later story was given publicity in the press of Pres colt that Wilson could have had the if he had been willing to do certain things, and it was stated that Wilson was aroused from his slum. bers one night and that a conference on these points was had between him and Mr. Norris and that Wilson refused to state what his position would be. if apported district attorney, and that then Talbot was appointed by the board.

WANT SEWER W|DEnEO
As FAR AS FORKS
Chicago City Council Will Take Up
Question of Appropriation Entail
ing a Large Expenditure of Money
Which VIII Help This Corner of
the State.

A recommendation which will have
direct bearing ON the Calumet region
and which, IL accepted, will prove to
be another big step toward the adj
yancenaent and Improvement of this
territory, will be submitted to the Chi
cage city council by the Chicago Har-
Dor emission Jan. II.
The proposed improvements, however,
as far as the Calumet region are con-
cerned, are only incidental to the ex-
penditure of millions of dollars which
the commission will recommend and
none of the money will be spent out
side of Illinois.
In making these recommendations
the commission has in mind the i'm
provement of Chicago Harbors, docks,
and waterways which are to form a
highway from Chicago to the gulf.
Keeping these objects in sight 1t will
not be necessary for Chicago to spend
money in Indiana, but whatever i'm
provements are made on the Calumet
river are bound to benefit the whole
river and the surrounding territory.
OF the twenty three recommendations
that will be submitted by the COM
mission, five of them will touch on the
Calumet river directly. The five to
affect the Calumet river are as fol-
lows:
What the Commission Recommends.
| Survey of all Chicago river dock line
to determine all rights of ownership
Similar surveys for lake front and the
Calumet river.
! Calumet CUTOFF, or cut from the lake
near Twenty-second street, to furnish
another outlet for commence at the
mouth of the future deep waterway to
the Mississippi.
| Immediate protection of the Calumet
river against center pier bridges. OBJ
structions. encroachments, ETC., to avoit
| Widening of the Calumet river to 800
feet as far as the forks, and to still
greater width on the bends.
/ Possible creation of a huge harbol
in the Lake Calumet.
| The above are merely the provisions
affecting the Calumet river and LAX
Calumet They alone would entail {
vast expenditure of money, and still
leave eighteen other provisions, 70
which the amounts would run in tn,
millions.

ell will adopt all the provisions a

trend of affairs say that the able wa

WILL HOLD MEETING
To RAISE MONEY
Superior Court Committee
at Gary to Go to the
Capital.

The central superior court commit
tee of Gary will probably hold meet
ing in the early part of next week for
the purpose of raising the necessary
money to send their committee of
lobbyists to Indianapolis. Each organ
ization represented in the central COM
mittee will be asked to donate a GER
tain amount of money with which to
defray the expenses according to it's
size, and the amount Off money in the
treasury.
1t is probable also that the commit
tee will leave for Indianapolis within
week. where they will present their
case before the state legislature. There
will be about ten of the most widely
acquainted business men of the city
and the men who are experienced in
lobbying, which will be selected to go
to the capital
At the present time it appears as II
the Citizens General committee had
given up the idea of having the judi
cial committee of the legislature come
to Gary to see the city and determine

originates here. and the necessity for

and Holman streets. The
nine billiard tables and the
bowling alleys are busy

or so may generally be
found there. A gallery for
both men and women has
been provided. The room is
practically 100 feet deep and
so feet wide. Tt is fitted,
furnished and equipped in
the best possible manner for
the uses and purposes for
which it is to be used.
Mr.. Bradford is a former
county official, and the fact
that he has friends and &C
quaintances in every section
is bound to make the place a
big success.

to the neighboring city. and brought
them back to Whiting. When seen
by Dobbertine he said that, although
their wearing apparel Tailed with
those Of the man who assaulted him,
he did not think they were the guilty
ones
The boys gave their names as Fred
Huber and Dave AIDA of Hammond.
They were, however. held until the
Hammond police had investigated their
story and when this was found TO be
true. they were released just in time
to get the last car out of Whiting to
Hammond. which was at 1:40 a. m.
In speaking to Whiting people after
their release they said they regretted
very much the idea of being incarcer-
ated for several hours for something
of which they were not guilty, but said
they were treated most kindly by the
Whiting police.
About IL o'clock, while officer vacha
was travelling his beat, he arrested an
other suspect at One Hundred and
Twenty-f1 first and Schrage avenue. The
young man was a stranger in town
and gave his name as B. Goodrich and
offered as proof of his statement sever
al letters which he carried in his ocket.
Dobbertine said he could not posi-
lively identify this man either, so 1t
is thought the real highwaymen are
still at large.
Boys wearing small college caps need
not be surprised if arrested on sus-
picion, as every one seen with this
kind of headgear on Thursday night
was stopped and compelled to give an
account of himself.

MANY HOLDUPS
OCCUR IN WHITING
Hammond Boys Placed I'm
der Arrest and Then
Released.
EPIDEMIC Of CRIME OCCURS
Whiting People Wonder What Will
Be Happening Next in the
Oil City.

Hold-ups in Whiting are getting to
be quite common when they happen
at the rate of two in less than one
week
On Monday night Tom Boland, man
ager of the local branch of the Knick-
erbocker Ice company. was held up
by two masked men, and at the point
of a revolver was relieved of quite a
sum of money.
On Christmas eve at o'clock a SIM
liar event happened when William Dob
berthe was likewise held up.
Dobbertine was on his way to his
home on Central avenue and as he
turned off One Hundred and Nine
teenth street to Central avenue he was
met by the two hold-up men, both of
whom were masked. AS they ap-
preached their victim they ordered him
to hold up his hands
Instead of complying with their re-
quest he resisted them for a time.
Seeing that they were up against some
thing they did not expect and fearing
they would be worsted, one of the men
hit Dobbertine on the head with the
butt" of the revolver. This caused
Dobbertine to scream. This fright
ened the highwaymen and they made
their escape, having had no chance to
relieve the old man of any valuables
which he had on his possession. He
managed to gte to his home, although
the blood was flowing freely from the
wound. DR.. G. H. Hoskins was called
and found the wound in the mans scalp
to be quite a serious one. and 1t was
necessary to insert several stitches into
the cash.
The police were notified and the drag
net was thrown out in an effort to
apprehend any persons answering the
description.
Dobbertinefs descrition of them was
that they were young fellows wearing
caps and short coats.
The first information was received
from the police at East Chicago. In a
message they told of having arrested
two young boys as they were about
to change cars going from Whiting to
Hammond.
The lads were held in the East Chi
cago station until Officer EmmeI went

SAYS DEMOCRATS
ARE JUST AS BAD
Blodgett Accuses Democrats
in Alleged Election
Fraud Contest.
NEITHER PARTY is A TYRO
Says Demos Would Use Hunkey Vote
If They Could Get
the Money.
(By w. H. BIodgett.)

Crown Point, Ind. Dec. %. Men
who know the political game in Indi-
ana, or at least thought they knew It,
admit they are in the kindergarten
class as far as politics, as practiced
in Lake county, is concerned. There
is no place in Indiana where it is done
as 1t is done here. The voting of the
miserable 'Hunyaks" in Indianapolis is
a close approach to it, but it is not
the real thing-Lake county is In a
class by itself.
Are just Bad.
And the democrats are just as bad as
the republicans, and would use the
"Hunky'' vote, too, If they could get 1t.
That fact is in evidence before the
commission hearing the testimony in
the Mickey Simon contested election
case. The reason the republicans can
beat the democrats to the "Hunky''
vote is because the republicans in this
county have the aid of the Standard
Oil company, the United States Steel
Corporation, the Inland Steel company
the Lake Shore and the Erie railroads
and other corporations that employ the
majority of these aliens hence the re-
publicans have the most money and
more men to round up the "Hunkies.'
And the "Hunkies." as was testified
to, are controlled by their boarding
BOSSES the saloonkeepers, the boss over
them in the plant where they werk
and the owners of the plants thus
! indirectly control the 'Hunkies" in be-
half of the republican party. And
| to go further, the owners of these
| plants are objecting to a revision OF
| the tariff that the people who pay the
bills are asking for.
Where the Chunky Vote Reaches.
| You say that is far-fetched. Is 1t
! Let us see where the "Hunky" vote
reaches in Lake county. 1t is agreed
| by every one that the "Hunky" vot'
carried Lake county for Congressman
Crumpacker. Congressman Crumpack
