Charles Alling, Jr., of Chi
cago Shot by Quack--G Grew
Out of "a Prosecu ion for
Practicing Medicine With
out a License.

Chicago, Dec. 24.-An attempt on the
life of Charles Alling, Jr., former al
derman and now attorney for the state
Board of Health, was made today by
an alleged quack medical practitioner,
Frank Klimek, who then turned his
pistol on himself. P. H. Schwaba, an
assistant to Mr.. Alling, was slightly
wounded Alling was shot in the eye
and lost consciousness. A physician
who was called in could not tell
whether the wound would prove fatal
Klimek will die, it was reported.
The shooting goccurred in Allings
office in the presence of several clients
and grew out of the prosecution of
Klimek for praeticing medicine with
out license. The prosecution was
instituted by the State Board of
Health. represented by Alling and
Schwaba as counsel.
Klimek was fined 5000. Today he
called on Alling with reference to the
case, asking that Alling try to get the
fine reduced, as Klimek said he was
destitute and would have to serve out
the fine in the workhouse. Alling re-
piled that he would recommend that
the fine be reduced to 500.
You don't need to do that" said
klimek, because l have to go to Jail
any way-I haven't got $780,
Alling was about to reply when Xii
mex drew his pistol and fired. Schwa-
ba rushed forward but was stunned
for moment by second bullet
which grazed his head. Klimek then

The shooting occurred SO suddenly
that several clients who were in the
office had no time to interfere. Allins
staggered into an adjoining office
whence he was removed to st. Luke's
hospital.
Alling recovered consciousness on
the way to the hospital and surgeons
there said he would live.
