STRANGE CASE OF
COL. JAMES GORDON
Man Once Wanted for Murder
Now Becomes United
States Senator.
SUCCEEDS A. J. M'LAURIN
WAS SUSPECTED OF coNsPIRlNe
WITH BOOTH TO KILL LINCOLN.

memphisr Tenn, Dec. pa special to
the News-Scimitar says:
Sought at one time by the federal au-
thorities under a $1,000 reward for his
capture, dead OF alive, for alleged con
spiracy in the murder of a president of
the United States. and now appointed a
member of the legislative body of that
country, is the strange story of Colonel
James Gordon of Oklahoma, who has
been nominated United States Senator by
Governor Noel as successor to the late
A. j. McLaurin.
Mr.. Gordon was one of several confed-
crate leaders suspected of being in con-
splracy with j. Wilkes Booth to kill Pres
ldent Lincoln. He escaped arrest and
probable death only by the Intervention
OF Yankee colonel with whom he had
crossed swords in fight in Virginia.
In the earlier years of the war, Colonel
Gordon had formed an intimate friend
ship with Booth, and after the assassina-
ton of President Lincoln, the reward Of
$4,000 was offered for his capture.
Escaped to Canada.
Colonel Gordon went to Canada, and it
was several months after the close of hos
tilities before he found it safe to return.
In one Of the campaigns in Virginia
Colonel Gordon had crossed swords with
the colonel Of a New York cavalry regi-
ment Both were injured, but they after
ward became fast friends.
Colonel Gordon wrote a letter TO this
New Yorker, denying that he had any
part in the conspiracy and stating that
he desired to return home. The former
foe took the matter up with General
Dicks, then in command of the army
forces in New York, and the latter sent
him a passport and an invitation to come
to New York and surrender, which he
did. He afterward satisfied General Dicks
that he knew nothing of the, Lincoln
conspiracy.

In his recommendation for improve

Police s. II. Barlow win ask for twenty
additional patroimen. He has already
been in conference with MAYOR John S.
Bransford ard the latter agrees with the
enlet that the time has come when il is
absolutely necessary to increase the pO-
Ice force.
Forty-five patroimen are at present on
street duty for the Salt Lake police de-
partment, the remainder Of the seventy
elshI men on the payroll at police head

Police Box System.
Chief of Police Barlow is also devot-
ing much of his time toward a study of
the prospects of installing an up-tO-date
police box system. At present patrol
men call into police headquarters over
the ordinary public telephones, and when
II becomes necessary TO organize a posse
of paJrolmen in the chase Of a burglar,
this has been found practically impossible
with any reasonable dispatch.

GARY REPUBLICANS
WILL MEET TONIGHT
Notices Have Been Sent Out
for Committeeman
Selection.
CANDIDATES ARE NOT MANY
Session Tonight viii Be Held in As
sembly Hall-Should Be Well
Attended.

The republicans Of Gary will meet
tonight in the Assembly hall. where
the first steps will be taken preparatory
to the municipal elections this fall. A
general call has been issued and postal
cards announcing the fact that the
meeting would be held have been sent
to the leading republicans of the city
The object of the meeting tonight will
be to make arrangements to select the
committeeman from each ward Of the
city, who will have direct charge of
the campaign in that district.
The meeting tonight will probably be
we'll attended, as much interest is being
taken in this first step Of the republi-
can party. The democrats have alrea1y
selected their committeeman (two from
each ward), and are now waiting until
the republicans take the same step. aft
er which active preparations viii be
made for the nominations Both parties
feel that some time Will be necessary
for the campaign as it is expected to be
hot one this year.
But few candidates for committeeman
have announced themselves for the re-
publicans as yet, and it looks as if it
would be necessary to hand it to some
one silver platter from the present
aspect of things.

East Chicago, Ind, June If the
sport of kings is restored unto its own
at any time within the comparatively
near future, the Calumet region may be
prepared to lose its own John KAN

John the genial John the versatile.
and John the fat. has discovered an
other accomplishment that he possesses
and which threatens to disrupt his
present glorious career of purveying

monwealth The accomplishment which
until yesterday lay dormant, though
untamed, within him is that of a
jockey.
It's the gods truth. Nobody without
an abiding faith in John Kamradt
would ever believe it. but Yesterday
John won a horse race. He and Mrs.
Kamradt and a brother-in-law. Frank

A husky-lunged gent was ballyhoo-ng
for the concession. and imploring the
dear public to come on and ride in the
next race John took slant at the
most likely looking equine and decided
that if he. being a fat man. could win
foot race ne might with no addi
tional handicap. win a horse race.
Before going further. it is only fair
| to the reader to state that all the
noble chargers lined up at the barrier,
prepared for the start. were wooden
ones. But this made no difference to
the intrepid John. a wooden horse had

a YEAR Old BOY
CARRIES "a CALDER
Police Place Him Under Arrest on
Charge of Having Concealed Wea-
pon-Victim is Taken to Hospital
Where Missile is Extracted From
Limb.

Another small boy shooting ARRAY,
similar to the one in which John Cor
mley killed Edward Finnerty a year
ago, occurred yesterday in Gary, when
Jay Lovejoy shot Casmer Kriezowski in
the right leg with a a. caIibre revolver.
The young fellow was not seriously
hurt. but the fact that the bullet en-
tered his leg instead of some other
part of his body was simply matter of
good fortune Lovejoy has been placed
under arrest and the charge has not
been stipulated until further investi-
CATION. At present he Is held for car
rying concealed weapons
Both boys are about Il years of age.
Casmer is the son of the local agent
of the Standard oil company, who re-
sides at Nineteenth and Massachusetts
streets. jays parents reside at 1915
Monroe street and his father is an en-
ploye of the steel mills.
Authorities Seek Motive.
The shooting yesterday was witness
ed by several men who differ in opin-
ion as to whether the shooting was ac-
cidentaI or done deliberately. Some
maintain that the two boys quarreled.
after which Jay shot his companion in
the leg with revolver which he was
carrying Among those who saw the
trouble was Motorman Robert Law of
the Gary and Interurban. who was
taking his car from the barn near the
scene of the accident at Jefferson street
opposite the car barns.
The story told by Lovejoy is that he
was walking along the street, carrying
the revolver in his hand when suddenly
his friend ran up behind him and grab
l. t.
charge the weapon. The bullet plowed
its way through the calf Of the boys
leg. He was removed at once to home
and the police and a physician were
summoned.
Chief Martin and Officer Miller went
to Investigate the case and found facts
Sufficient to warrant the arrest of Love
10y He was unable TO explain the rea-
son for his carrying a revolver and
several other particulars about the
shooting
The preliminary hearing of young
Lovejoy was held this morning In
Justice A. c. Hubers court Chief Mar
tin advised the court that the prision-
er be released on bail as he intended
to make a further investigation on
the shooting. Lovejoy was according
~ released on $500 bail and his trial
will come up on the 18th of June.
Chief Martin after making an in
vestigation in the case this morning
learned several facts that may throw
some light on the shooting. Young
Lovejoy in the past has caused the
local police much concern over his
lawlessness and numerous esca pades.
1t was learned that he stole the re-
volver from his brother and intended
to run away from home. Kriewski
and Lovejoy 1t is said have had some
trouble in the past over a certain
young girl whom they both liked, and
it maybe that the latter might have
shot Lovejoy through jealousy.
The shooting occurred at the time
when about ten of the boys in the
neighborhood were talking over a
fishing trip to the Calumet river or
the following day. according to &
statement from Kriewski on Satur-
day night

No Guns to Minors.

As a result of the shooting in the
south end Saturday night. when a Is
year-oid boy was accidentally wound
ed by a bullet from a revolver held in
the hands Of companion, Chief Mar
tin has ordered stricter watch on the
sale of weapons to minors
The state law, which prohibits the
exhibition of revolvers in store win
dows. is being enforced, and any one
who violates it will incur the penalty.
Regardless of the fact that July 4th is
approaching the chief will not permit
any firearms to be placed in the store
windows, The possession of revolvers
by small boys caused the death of one
last summer.

DEFENDING ATTORNEY
SEES ANOTHER CAUSE
Says That Woman is Seeking to
Squelch the Testimony Which
Farmer is Expected to Give Against
the Woman's Friend, Harry Phil
lips.

Because John Danielson made the
accusation that Anna Johnson stole
corn from his to feed her pigs. or is
alleged to have made it. Mrs. Johnson
has brought suit against the Miller
farmer on a charge of Islander and
asks for 5000 damages. The case
was started Yesterday in the Porter
superior court before Judge Harry
Tuthill. The attorneys for the plain
tiffs are Agnew and Burkhart of VAL
paraiso.
The case seems to be in the nature
of family feud which has been go
ing on between these Two persons for
number of years and which is some
what similar to that at Horsford
Park. They have threatened to bring
each other into court several times.
but heretofore the trouble has all
been patched up.
Sees Another Cause for Suit.
Danielson is farmer of some
means who has resided near Miller
for the past twenty years. Mrs. John
son is widow who has been his neigh
Dor for a number of years. Recently
Mrs. Johnson says that she purchased
some pigs and that Danielson alleged
that she was stealing his corn for the
purpose of feeding these pigs She
considered that the preparation of
this Islander and the mental anguish
it caused her was worth at $4,000
Attorney George Bardon, who is de-
tending John Danielson. claims that
the whole affair is plot against him
for the purpose of freeing Harry
Phillips, who is soon to be tried for
stealing a car load of coal and some
other depreciation. Danielson was ex-
pected to be a witness against Phi,-
lips. Mr.. Bardon says that Mrs.
Johnson was particular friend Or
Phillips, and that he stayed at her
house while he was in Miller.
