boarders in the Long Hotel, and Boggs
in telling his story. said that he was
partiaclly under the influence of liquor

The first case will be regarded as the

GETS
OFF WITH
LIGHT FINE
Notorious Divekeeper Driv-
en- From West Hammond
Admits Being Drunk for
Nine Days; Threatens to
Kill His Wife.

Frank Bough, the notorious resort
keeper of Eighteenth avenue and Mad
ison street, who was arrested for draw
ing a gun on his wife in drunken
stupor. thereby causing her to flee from
the room and jump from a window
breaking her arm, was tried last Sat
uring afternoon before Special Judge
Ora L. Wildermuth in the police court
before a jury He was fined So and
cost. nearly the minimum fine the law
providing for fine of from 81 to SIS and
a sentence of six months in jail
Bough, who moved to Gary several
years ago from West Hammond where
he operated dive. and was an eye sore
to the community. is now one of Gary's
notorious characters. Driven out of
West Hammond he came to Gary where
he was allowed to operate one of the
worst dives in the city.
Arrested on Warrant
Last Wednesday Bougn was arrested
on a warrant sworn out by one of the
inmates of his resort, charging him
with drawing revolver on his wife
and threatening to kill her. The case
was continued in Judge Knots court
and on Saturday Mayor Knots appoint
ed Colonel Mayo to sit in the case The
attorneys for the defense asked for a
change OF venue and Attorney Ora o.
Wilde nuth was appointed to hear the
case
The whole trial of the case hinged
OF. Mrs. Boughs testimony. When she
was placed on the witness stand she
refused to testify against her husbnd.
1t was with much reluctance that she
was compelled to answer the prosecu-
tors question With the testimony of
one witness. an inmate of the resort
who said she was not sure that Bough
pointed the revolver at his wife. the
jury was compelled to retire.
A Disgusting Scene.
One of the most disgusting and 1oath-
some scenes was enacted when Bough
was placed on the stand With his eyes
pulging from their sockets, his head
swaying In drunken stupor, his unshav-
en- face and general unkempt appear
ance. Bough uncoherently admitted that
he had been drunk for nine days
stra1.-rt and had no knowledge that he
ever pointed revolver at his wife.
While Bough's remarks caused mfrth
among some in the court room, his APP
perance was so disgusting and loath-
some that many people left the room.
PROSECUTOR Ridgely, who acted in Mr.
Hodges behalf during his abence, Sc
verely drilled Bough in making his ar
guments to the jury. He asked for the
maximum fine and penalty be imposed
upon him for the welfare of the com
munity.
'The Better for Gary
The Idea of a man of this calibre
VINO mas admitted that he was so drunk
that he knew nothing for nine days, be-
ing allowed to carry a revolver and
threaten the citizens of this city, is an
outrage that ought not to be allowed

In making his charge to the jury it
couor be seen that Judge Wildermuth

GUARD THE WATER SUPPLY
Where Farmer In semi-Arid Region
Has Limited Amount He Should
Make Most Of II.

A farmer In the semiarid country
who has limited water supply should
devise all sorts of ways of conserving
the quantity so as to make the. most
OF 1t. Few have private reservoirs OF
sufficient capacity and must adopt
some other method. Frequently the
early irrigating Is done before II Ia
needed. because 1t must be accom-.
plished while the water is available.
Twice as much water is used as a crop
requires because the farmer en-.
deavors to conserve the water In the
soil. Winter irrigation Is always sue
cessful and should be more generally
employed. An instance IL cited when
water was left In the ditch during the
winter. and naturally enough the Ice
closged the ditch so that II overflowed.
The ditch was below the road and the
water flowed out onto the field. no one
paying any attention to It. How long
the water ran there II Is not known.
but II frozc as II spread over the land.
and great field OF ice was formed for
