ANOTHER
RAID MADE
ON RESORTS
Con Talty's Notorious Place
in West Hammond Visited
by Police; Inmates Ar
rested; Buildings Proprie-
tor in Hammond.

Con Talty's place. at the corner of
State street and Douglas avenue In
West Hammond. was raided by Chief
of Police John Kulczyk and his Off
GERS last evening and four girls were
placed under arrest.
The story of the previous raid, print
ed in THE TINES last evening, had the
effect of deterring the usual crowd of
West Hammond habitues from spending
the evening in the city across the line,
so no men were taken in the raid last
night.
The women arrested were Mary
Scott, Rena Wilson. Annie Muellen and
Mabl Davis. The raid was made short
~ after 10 o'clock and the women were
taken to the police station, where they
gave bond for their appearance on
June IA.
There are one or two other places
that will be raided unless they close
up at once. and 1t is expected that in
another week or two the city of West
Hammond win be diveless.
Get Tainted Money.
Con Taltys place. which was raided
last night, is owned by the wife of a
well-known Hammond man. The fact
OF her ownership OF this property was
pointed out by Miss Virginia Brooks AT
a meeting OF the Woman's club in Ham
mond several months ago.
The raid and these arrests establish
the fact that this place was being con-
Quoted as a resort, just Miss Brooks
charged. 1t further demonstrates the
fact that the owner of the building was
not ignorant OF the kind of tenants who
occupied the building.

day, was owned by Hammond people

EX-N|FE SOLVES
MYSTERY Of MAN
Perkins Identified as Father
Who Kidnapped Son in At
Ianta Two Years Ago.

A woman hurried into Harry Poole's
Undertaking establishment, asked to see
me body Of John Perkins, gazed for
,oD7ent into the wrinkled face and
,roke the web of mystery which had
surrounded the aged man.
He was my first husband" she said,
simply Il believe he came to kidnap
our little son. He must have been
lonely in his old age"
The woman was Mrs H B. Wlngard.
Of SO Capitol avenue. The body was
that of a 60-year-old man who had
lived for two weeks at % Washington
street. short distance from Mrs Win
cards home. He had passed under the
name Of Moses, and none knew his oc-
cupation, his past history or a reason
for his remaining in Atlanta
Dies Suddenly on Christmas.
On Christmas day he was stricken
with acute indigestion and died sud-
denly. muttering in his last moments
that his real name was John Perkins
and his home was Nashville, Tenn.
The body lay without flowers or
friendly callers until today, when Mrs.
Wingard called at the undertaker's and
revealed the reason for Perkins COM
ing to Atlanta.
He had come to the city several
times in the past year and each time
he had stopped Robert, his son and
mine, on the way to school," he said
He asked the child if he didn't want
to go live with his elder brother, Paul
and made him promise not to tell me
about the meetino l believe he intend
ed to kidnap Robert as he did Paul, two
years ago"
Kidnapped Elder Son.
The Perkinses were divorced four
years ago and Mrs. Perkins was award
ed the custody of her two children, Paul
and Robert, now aged sixteen and
twelve. Mrs. Perkins married H. B.
Wingard and was happy in her new
home. But two years ago Perkins came
to Atlanta, kidnapped the elder boy and
took him to Savannah and then to
Hillsboro, Ga, where the boy is now
living with his aunt The affair was a
newspaper sensation at the time.
Since then Perkins had come to At
lanta several times, according to Mrs
Vineyard, and each time met and talked
with the younger boy. Mrs. Wingard
believes the old man really loved his
children and could not bear separation
from them. Perkins had made no ef-
fort to see his former wife and she did
not know of his presence in Atlanta on
this occasion. 1t was only when she
saw in the papers that an old man
giving his name as Perkins had died
suddenly at boarding house that she
thought Of her former husband. Her
visit to the undertaker's followed.
The body of Perkins probably will be
taken to Hillsboro for interment.

A number of promising prop critics OH the upper NiZina arc claiming the attention of pros pective operators. The Diamond and Stevenson placer holdings on Young creek are showing good prospects. Experts report very extensive creek and bench depos- it's of gravel which on prospect ing haa shown values running from 25 to 10 cents to the yard. There is an abundance of water and q good dump and plenty of timber. There are vcritabIr mountains of pay gravrl in many places, while the creek bed shows good cOlorS in almost every pan. Numerous holes have been sunk and some tunneling has been dome by the owners, and in every iu- stance the most natlrring result < have been obtained. The ground has been worked in q small way for number of years, but sue ceSSful operation for large TO- turns will require the inStalla- ton of complete hydraulic plant at considerable expense, but il is hoped by the friends of this highly favored section that work will begin in earnest be- 1 fore the close of the season.
