VENGEANCE
FOR DEFEAT
Battleaxe Castleman Prom
Uses to Start Revolution in
Gary; Job Hunters Be-
seech His Successor, Col.
Englehart.

Angered because the Gary common
council didn't seat him last night Elk
Alderman "Battleaxe" Castleman of
Gary promises dire vengeance in
turn. He has the saloon keepers with
him and they with their following are
able to make big dent.
May Start a Revolution:
Rumor that Castleman may start
revolution in Gary or have the south
end secede from the rest of the city and
set up a separate republic are also rife
Castleman, 1T was told at the city hall,
declares that he has the goods on
Alderman Simiasko" and that he will
now do his 'durndest'."
New Alderman Got Punched.
Alderman Englehart was busy this
morning receiving the homage from his
Ridge road subjects and by ten O'Clock
he had requests for six city jobs. three
APPLICATIONS for loans of SIS, five requests
to bail constituents out of Jail or get
them a pardon from Governor Marshall
and two applications for places on the
park board.
Among those who got punched in the
city hall riot last night was the alder
man but no great damage was done as
he had his trusty Dublin walking stick
with him and it did good service.
White Got slugged Too.
Police Commissioner Emmett White
who was in last nights mixup and who
also got slugged over the head by some
of the saloon men was around the city
hall looking over the scene of last
nights battle. Alderman Simiasko who
was "sloughed" on the jaw and about
the head felt no serious effects from
the evenings work.
Some wag suggested this morning
that aldermen who fear kidnapping such
was attempted last night be brought
into the council chamber In barrels or
big boxes by their constituents and
that at the proper moment the recepta-
cles be opened under heavy police
guard.

He said that he proposed to sell out
his place of business at whatever II
would bring. and that he would quit
the saloon business for good.
He attributes the fact that he is in
the present trouble to the saloon bust
ness. He said that 1t never could have
happened in any other business.
Attorney ID. e. Boone stated today
that Stevens would never be bound
over. He said that he would be able
to show at the preliminary hearing
that Stevens had acted only in self
defense and that his sole idea in lay
ing hands on the old man was to gel
him out Of the place.

to build a high school without such
notice. ca The two per cent limit of
Indebtedness is separate to each mu-
nicipality and the Indebtedness of the
town does not count against the school
city. (4) Entering into a contract to
build a schoolhouse is creating an in
debtedness in excess which the con-
tract price is above the funds. (5) A
school board cannot enter into an ex-
ecutory contract to sell school proper
ty. (6) No decision is made of the
right OF the city of Hammond to erect
and maintain a manual training school.
Cd Where there was agreement
that all defenses could be introduced
under the general denial, refusal to
allow a special answer is not reversi-
be error.
The indianapolis Star has the fol-
lowing on the case:
In affirming the decision of the Lake
circuit court, the Indiana supreme
court yesterday upheld an injunction
against the school trustees of HAM
mand and contractors, which will pre-
vent them from erecting a proposed
new school building there. the cost of
which was to have been $242,440. The
amount of indebtedness the proposed
building would have entailed on the
city. and the failure OF the trustees to
file a proper statement with the coun-
ell concerning the erection of the
building were among the reasons for
the action of the higher court. The
court took the position that indebt-

Clean-cut young divinity students

Hammond theatre last evening and
were later entertained by members of
the St Pauls Lutheran League under
whose auspices they appeared as the
Amphion Glee Club.
German and English selections COM
prised the program and were we'll re-
ceived by the audience of German
Americans. Besides vocal and instru-
mental numbers several reading were
given. After the finale they were Civ.

Their appearance won them admirers
Although the selections were excellent
and the talent of the performers of the

WAYMAN
FORGETS v.
HAMMOND
Cook County States Attor-
ney Fails to Send Repre-
sentative to Preliminary
Hearing in Sonnanstine
Case.

Owing to the fact that Prosecuting
Attorney John Wayman of Chicago
did not send one of his assistants to
West Hammond to take charge of the
preliminary hearing in which William
stevens is charged with the killing of
~ l.. Sonnanstine. the case was con-
tinued until July 2.
The absence of the prosecuting at
torney was a great surprise to those
who have had the case in charge. They
could not understand it, 1t is sug-
gested that an inquiry should be made
At the states attorneys office to de-
termine the reason for his absence in
so important a case.
Accordingly the matter stands just
as it was after Stevens had been put
under arrest. The hearing will be
postponed for over a week, a thing
that is unprecedented in a case of this
kind.
In the meantime every possible
pressure Is being brought to bear on
those who have anything to do with
the case to let Stevens off as easily as
possible.

Add to Misery.

Thick of speech, dishelved. with the
burning flush of a high fever on his
forehead, a gaunt giant of man
stood in the dim light of the cell cor
ridor at the Hammond police station
last evening. At the big steel doors
that barred him from the outer world
he was constantly straining himself in
lifting. For hours at a time Peter
Flanagan of 439 Hoffman street
would lift on whatever piece of the
iron fixtures he could reach Night

no avail. Even there he continued his
exertions. BY morning he was ex-

had been spent He is now at the
mercy Of a devouring fever and may
possibly never recover.
