ATTEMPT TO MURDER IN BEAT 4.
A Young Girl Seriously Wounded in IieI
Fathers House.

H. G. Dykes, resident of Dis
tflct No. 4, was in Brookhaven
Monday to consult the authorities
regarding an attempt to kill him
and the serious Wounding of his
young daughter as result, on the
might of the 4th inst. on the place
OF 7. H. Montgomery, in the
Auburn neighborhood. by white
man named Irwin Smith.
When seen by a representative of
The Leader and requested to give
the particulars concerning the
affair for publication, Mr.. Dykes
made in substance the following
statement.
About / o'clock a. m. on Satur-
day night, April 3rd, Irwin Smith
and Joe Thomas, who live in the
Auburn neighborhood, came to his
home under the influence of liquor,
called him up and when he went
out wanted him to drink with
them. This he declined to do, and
after few words more, they rode
off in friendly humor.
Next evening Sunday about
dark, they rode up to his gate
again, and Thomas was introduced
by Smith as a friend who wanted
to have lot of shop work done on
some buggies, etc. Both men ap-
peared to be still very much under
the influence of liquor and Thomas
was SO profane Mr.. Dykes says he
demonstrated with him, telling him
his young daughter was in hearing,
and to desist on her account.
Thomas then apologized for his
oaths, but at once commenced try
ing to pick a quarrel with him
about another and irrelevant mat
ter. Not wishing to engage in a
quarrel or dispute with the men,
Mr.. Dykes said he excused himself
from further talk and started to go
back into his house. The front
door, he said, was fastened on the
inside and had to be unlatched by
his daughter, a girl of IA. Before
he could get in, Smith, who had
drawn his pistol, began firing point
blank toward him and the door.
Three or four of the bullets passed
through the closed door, one of
these passing through the fleshy
part of his daughters right leg
helEw the knee and another break
ing her left thigh, she at the time
being engaged in trying to open
the door for her father, which was
difficult to unfasten. Mr.. Dykes
says while the shooting was going
on, he was standing just to one
side of the door, with one hand on
it, and facing the gate, and could
easily see Smith over the gate with
his pistol, and that he did all of
the shooting, Thomas not shooting
at all. He considers it almost a
miracle that he was not hit, as the
range was close.
Mr.. Dykes explained that he is a
widower. his wife having died last
year, and that the wounded daugh-
ter is the youngest of four children,
and was keeping house for him,
his other children having left
home. DR.. John Chisholm was
called in to attend the wounded
girl, and under his care she is do
ing we'll and now on the road to
recovery.
Mr.. Dykes expressed the warm
est appreciation of the kindness
shown him and his daughter by
various nieghbors, since the shoot
ing, mentioning especially DIR.
Chisholm and Mr.. Avery and
their families, and requesting The
Leader to express this apprecia
tion for him.

1t was ordered that County

1t was ordered that D. w.

alleged to be due him at two
cents per name for special SER
vices in computing and listing

It will be recalled that the last
Legislature passed an act di-
recting the board of road super
vlsors that went out of Office the
first of April to pay this amount.
This the retiring board refused
to do without an order from the
Superior Court, alleging that
Mr.. Bullock had already receiv.
ed the amount he was entitled
to under the former law. In
its explanation of the matter the
board of commissioners states
that this payment was refused
by the old board of supervisors
upon the ground that they did
not have sufficient time to do so.
The commissioners state that
it has been the custom since
1904 to pay the register of deeds
3 cents per name for his special
services in computing road
taxes, whereas Mr.. Bullock only
asked for 2 cents, and the board
judged the amount to be due
him.

Indianapolis, Nov. 23.-The SUI
preme court in case from Green
castle. decided today. that the brewers
cannot sell liquor to private consum-
ers in any quantity whatever. This
makes the delivery of beer by beer
wagons to residences or private con
sumers illegal. The court also de-
cides that wholesale dealers cannot
sell to private consumers; also, that
wholesalers cannot sell even to retail
ers in less quantities than five gal
Ions. Under this decision the only
place where private consumer can
get liquor is from a saloon Or a retail
drug store. The Beardsley law was
held constitutional.
What the Act Is.
Section twelve of the Beardsley act
is as follows:
That any person not being licensed
under the laws of the state of Indiana
who shall sell or barter directly or
indirectly any spurious, vinous or
malt of less quantity than five gal
Ions at a time or who shall sell or

fined in any sum not less than $50 nor
more than 500 for the first offense,

ing the case shall add Imprisonment
