BURNHAM.

Marshal Patton has a bunch that he |
has discovered the man who threw
bomb No. 80 in the person Of a man /
who went TO one of our local saloons
and bought ten cents worth of high
explosive and then went to the store
OF Mike Kaczmorrowsky and procured
stick of punk. The saloonkeeper,
when interviewed, said it was simply
a plot to put him out Of business, and
that what the man got was the goods
he is in the habit of selling TO bottle
and can customers. and that if ii did
happen to explode the force of the eX
plosion would be earthward. Village
Attorney Markham is going to have
the man indicted before Z. K. Hunter
and the Burnham grand jury, and he
thinks it may throw some light on the
question of the men higher up who re-
ceived all the graft in Chicago. Should
the man prove to be Attorney Jerome
of New York. Mr.. Markham intends
to sick Harry Thaw on him.
At the first meeting held by the viii
lage board in the new hall the hall
was initiated in great style. The meet
ing was a hot session, and a ten-round
bout was fought between Kid Cullman
and Battling Markham. The bout was
decided draw after several people
were nearly thrown out the window
and all present declare that the decis-
ion was very fair. c. NJ. Nichols was
not among those present.
T. J. Cullman was in Chicago on bus
mess yesterday.
A. W. Hunter has taken new po
sition with the International Core
| spondence Schools of Scranton, Pa. He

of those who arrived yesterday is Mike,
who used to say: Pipe in the ditch"
Judge Hunter was in Gary on bust
ness yesterday.
The saloons in Burnham have done

ing below him. 1t is evident that Mr..
Hunter must have had some of those
explosives mentioned before. But the

in his neighborhood.

ter Mrs. W. e. Combs.

There is a great howl going up on
account of Mr. Jules Smith having sold

now is not liked near as well as what

GARY PRIZE FIGHT
STOPPED IN THIRD
Chief Martin Decides That
Bout Was Not to Be
Tolerated.

Chief Of Police Martin last night
kept his word about preventing prize
fights in Gary when he stepped into
the ringsde in the third round of a
match between Mare Anderson and Kid
Brown and announced that the thing
had gone far enough for HIM and that
the performance for the evening was
concluded
Cal Harris. the Chicago proprietor.
had told a number of his friends that
a real light was to he staged in Gary,
while almost in the same breath he
slipped around to the Gary police sta
ton and assured the chief that there
would be nothing more vicious than
loving match staged last night at the
Coy theater.
The chief. however wanted to be
shown and was at the ringside when
the curtain was raised The wrest-
ling match and the preliminary be-
tween Young Clipper and Kid Linn
were the usual tiresome affairs and the
crowd beginning to realize that they
had duped by Harris began to yell for
q fight
When Anderson and his opponent
stepped into the ring it was the same
old story in the first round. but in the
second the cries of derision and jfbes
of the spectators spured them on to
more action until It reached a climax
in the third. Finally when the jeers
of the crowd broke into cheers, Chief
Martin decided that it was time to act
and the bout was stopped. No blood
was spilled, although some hard blows
were struck before the chief could get
to the ringside
Most of the crowd present was from
Chicago and other outside cities, as
most of the Gary people refused to be
