". /. MWER IS
ON THE WARPATH
Some One Starts a Story
That Anglers Republican
Candidate.
MAY KNIFE GARY CANDIDATE
Mr.. Kliver Goes to Indiana Harbor
Today to Run Down Story Which
He Says Is Untrue.

W. H. Kliver, the republican nomi-
nee for the office of joint representa-
tive, is going on the warpath today. 1t
was learned yesterday that some one
in Indiana Harbor was circulating the
story that Kliver was responsible for
the closing of the saloons in Gary.
The people of Gary are so incensed
over the closing of the Gary saloons
that the mere mention of the fact that
some one was responsible for the "das-
tardly deed is enough to start a riot.
Some of the political enemies of
Kliver. therefore. attempted to dis
credit the popular Gary carpenter by
telling the story that he was the one
who helped to eliminate the groggeries.
Some loud talking was heard on a
Gary train last night by people who
We're returning from some political
meeting at Indiana Harbor and from
what was said it was suspected by
Klivers friends that an attempt was
being made in Indiana Harbor to
knife the Gary man.
Today Klver determined to go to
the Harbor and make a personal in
vestigation. He is not the man to
stand for such imposition as that and
If he is able to locate the man who
started the story he will be very likely
to make trouble for him.

team from Buffalo. was the car to fall
by the wayside, a broken steering
knuckle at Kingston putting the car
out of the running. All other scores
in both Hover and Glidden events re-
main the same. as do also those of the
two Stevens Duryea's, which are COM
peting for Glidden certificates.
The days journey was not so hard
as it was long and tiresome, but is was
only a sample of tomorrow's trip which
lands the tourists in Boston after road
travel of 1874 miles, the longest sched-
ule Of the tour. so it was early to bed
for the Gliddenites this evening.

TOOK TWO TO BEAT BOSTON.

Boston. July 15.-Nick Altrock and
Frank Isbell beat the Boston Red Sox
in the opening game OF the series here
by a 2-to-0 score in a pretty a ball
game as the local fans ever witnessed.
Handsome Nick" was in as good form
as he ever was and held the locals to
four stingy hits. Mcconnell the midget
second baseman, made two of the four
by chopping a high bounder over
"Nick's" head.
Isbel, with his Big Betsy" was the
big show. 1t was his home run in the
fourth that scored the two runs for
the Sox.
ICY" Morgan was on the rubber for
the Boston team. and he managed to
keep the eight hits made off him well
scattered except in the fourth and fifth
innings. Two bases on balls and two
hits were punched off him in the fourth.
Morgan was taken out of the game in
the eighth inning to let LaPorte bat
for him, and Cicotte pitched the last
inning.

Stuff Has Been Ruled Out
of Drug Stores by Court
Officers.

A Peruna jag is still possible IN In

week on the charge of selling liquor
illegally.

stores failed to reveal a single bottle
Of this beverage. and so the Ham

the decision.
Tonica. a beverage manufactured by
the indianapolis Brewing company, is
sold without a license. This in brief
was the decision rendered by Special
Judge W. R. Moore.
Judge MOOre's Decision.
Judge Moore. in his decision. did not
touch upon the question of whether or
not Tonica is an intoxicant. He held
that the testimony introduced at the
trial of the case showed conclusively
hat Tonica contained a certain per cent
of malt. a fact which makes It's sale
without a license illegal. the law stat
ing plainly that spurious, vinous and
malt liquors cannot be sold without a
license.
After announcing his decision Judge
Moore imposed a fine of $50 on Johns

The Wabash railroad and the other
railroads in Gary prepared large pos
tiers upon which the opening of the
Gary harbor was advertised and 1t was
expected that thousands of people
would be attracted to the new steel

road officials that these who did not
have invitations could not see the arri-

were destroyed.
