Attorney Ballard made the assertion
in open court that he believed Attor-

announces that he has been able to Sc
cure the Three Twins for Hammond

to secure the show for his theater
Feb 81. week from Sunday 1t was
originally intended that the show
should go to one of the Chicago the

cry of the Three Twins and the other
show at the same time and it was
possible for Mr. Nye to arrange a re-
turn engagement in Hammond.

It is expected that the Three Twins
will be greeted by a capacity house
this time, as the people of the region
know what an exceptional attraction
is the Three Twins.
Manager Nye is planning an innova-

will make a big hit here. He ha:
booked the Rosar- Mason repertoire

the best in the business, and will give
a matinee every afternoon, for which
a charge of only 10 cents will be made

who come downtown to shop. to spenC
pleasant afternoon in the best the

show as any one would want to se'
/ for only 10 cents. 1t is an unparalelle,

knowledge of Funeral Arrange
ments Has Not Been Received.

The information received by The
Times last evening regarding the death
of Charles G. Wicker, who lived on the
Wicker farm, near Highlands, came as
n shock to the friends and acquaint-
ances of the unfortunate young man
who live in this city.
AS additional facts about the young
mans death were learned it became
known that he was drowned in the
Gulf of Mexico off Fort Meyers, while
out fishing in a rowboat. Details re
garding the funeral have not been re-
ceived in Hammond
Wicker was fond of sailing and or
ganized a party to go out on the gulf
Tuesday morning. With him were
Captain Oliver H. Dockery, 25th in

Lost at Sea.
| Dockery, Caldwell. Wicker and Phil
| lips clung to the eapsized boat all Tues
day. being too far out at sea to at
tract attention. Late in the afternoon
the mail boat passed within mile oil
two of the men, but they were unable
to attract attention. Chilled and ex-
| hausted Phillips fell off shortly after
the mail boat passed and was drowned
Seeing that Wicker was almost ex-
hausted and that he could not Ions
hold on, Captain Dockery lashed the
man TO himself. not releasing himsel-
until that evening, when Wicker was
dead. Captain Dockery pushed the
boat with d single oar toward the
shore with wonderful fortitude anC
early yesterday morning he and DR.
Caldwell, greatly exhausted, were

MEN ARE IN CONDITION

The real work of the Missouri loot
ball squad began on Rollins Field to-
day Two victories have been won
and practice has continued three
weeks, but Coach Roper says all this
has been merely play beside what is
to be done from now on.

Saturdays game is said to be the
cause. Hall, candidate for a half

Men in Good Condition.
The game with the Kansas Aggies
left the Tigers in good condition.
Only thirteen men were used and these
suffered little at the hands OF the
farm ers. Pixlee went into the game
with sore shoulder but he is not
seriously hurt. Hackney. who made
good showing at halfback, is slightly
afflicted with Charlie horse" and was
unable to boot the ball this afternoon.
He will be ready fer the game with the
RClla Miners next Saturday
The coach is working to win the
Kansas game and is training his men
slowly. The early games are only
incidental in the development Of the
Tigers for the Thanksgiving Day con
test.
There nay be some shifting in the
line this week. Buick proved too slow
fer end and new pace may be made
FOR him. Alexander says he is in good
condition. His showing in the last
half of the game with Manhattan
proved that he has not forgotten how
to make gains.

To Destroy the Church.

No more will the praises OF God
resound through the little Methodist
church in Columbus township, where
for two years Rev. John II. Carmi
chael has been pastor for congre-
cation which had imposed in him inn
plicit faith.
The farmers make no attempt TO
conceal their intention of burning the
house that some 20 years ago was
erected and dedicated TO the services
OF Christianity. and which has since
been transformed into a hideous
chamber of horrors through the MUIR
der of Aaron Gideon Browning.
Farmers wives and children posi-
lively refuse ever to enter the church

IL is no longer fit for a house of
worship. The blood-splashed walls,

gore, the altar despatched with blood.

after the horrible struggle for supre-

and their families were wont to as

CARMICHAEL
A sU|C|OE
MURDERER FOUND IN CARTHAGE
ILL.,, WHERE HE ENDED
HIS LIFE.
WHY KILLED BROWNING
In a sixteen-Page Letter Is Given in
Detail the Movements of the
Fugitive.

Rev. John Haviland Carmichael,
the clergyman who is wanted for the
Staying of Gideon Browning at Rattle
Run, Mich, was arrested in Carthage,
H., Monday, after he had made two
gashes in his throat, which proved
fatal despite the efforts of four physi-
clans TO save his life.
A letter of 16 pages was written
by Carmichael before he cut his
throat, admitting his identity and
confessing he killed Browning, cut
up the body and burned it in the
stove. One report has 1t that his
letter states he was under the hyp-
motto influence of his wife; another
that he was under the influence of
Browning.
Carmichael had been staying in
Carthage for two days at a private
boarding house. His presence at
the home of his sister was not learned
of until the physicians were hastily
summoned to treat him. He is said
to have used a razor and cut his
throat from ear TO ear, bleeding SO
profusely that he speedily lost con-
SERIOUSNESS.
The letter signed ~. II. Car
michael was found in the minister's
pocket and contains a detailed ac-
count of his movements from the time
he left the scene of his crime, the
lonely church in Columbus, Mich, up
to the time he arrived in Carthage,
Sunday morning.
The letter is addressed TO Sheriff
Wagenseil, of st. Clair county, and
asks that the sheriff come and get
his body.
After describing in detail how he
killed Browning Carmichael states
that he changed his clothes and went
to Chicago and passed through Chi
cago while the first accounts of the
crime he had committed were being
printed in that city.

chalrmen,s Power crlmped.

However. neither the senate nor the
house committees are going to WELD
the influence in legislation that they
have in past sessions. Neither will
the chairman OF any committee be
the car in his particular sphere of
duty that he was wont to be. The rea.
son why is that the new constitution,
which went into effect New Years
day, gives a majority in each house
the right at any time to take away
from a hostile committee that would
smother IL unless bill be disposed
of one way or the other on the floor
of either house. In previous sessions
there was a legislative rule permit
ting a committee to hold up bill in
definitely unless two-thirds OF the
members demanded its release. The
new constitution forbids the legisla-
ture to re-enact this rule.
