JOE KAM|NSKI IS DYING
Fearful Result of Guns Ac-
cidental Discharge at
Gary Some Time Ago.

AS result of the accidental dis
charge of a gun which was thought
to be not loaded, a little girl was shot
in the eye, her father committed sui
eide in jail in Gary, and Joe Kaminski,
who was badly beaten up by the angry
father, now lies at the point of death
in Mercy hospital at Gary and as his
frame is shaken by each succeeding
convulsion it becomes more and more
apparent that he will not live very
much longer.
The double tragedy was caused by
the unreasoning wrath Of Steve Skron-
spa. who, as soon as he saw that his
little girl had been shot in the eye,
hunted up Joe Kaminski, who was
boarding at his place at the time. and
beat him over the head with an iron
bar.
Terrible Tale of Deed.
Kaminskis condition grew worse and
Skronspa was arrested until it could
be learned what would be the outcome
of the injuries received by Kaminski.
In Jail Skronspa raved like a crazy
man and one morning it was discover
ed that he had committed suicide by
hanging himself with his suspenders.
The little girl in the meantime has
been rapidly improving until she is now
sure to recover. The boarder, however,
is in a bad condition. He has been
slowly growing worse during the past
three or four weeks and yesterday he
was taken with severe convulsions.
These greatly weakened him and the
doctors in charge of the patient are OF
the opinion that he viii not live. II
he dies it will add another name to
the long list of homicides which arc
already to the discredit of Lake county
for the year 1908.
II his assailant had not hung him
self he would have been held on the
charge of murder, but he chose to be
his own executioner.
