made with a 32-calibre revolver, one

YES, THE LID
rs STILL ON

The lid" is still on in the former
West Hammond vice district, accorde
ing to both the authorities and the for
me rdivekeepers, despite the stories
existing that the lid has been pried on.
With the election of new city off,
ciaIs only few months hence 1t be-
hooves the-''ins' and "outs" to be good.
The present city administration has
made record on cleaning out the
dives and it would be preposterous for
it now, when it can rest on it's laurels,
to hermit a resumption of the nefarious
business AS for the divekeepers, If they
have any hope Of getting back Into
business under another administration
it WOULD be poor policy for them to
shokv their hands now, and so with one
sidd watching the other, West Ham
ondl is travelling the straight and mar
row path.

Jumping from the wagon. Polito gave
chase to the fleeing figure. He fired
three shots at the man. but the assas-
sin eluded him in the darkness. He
then went back to the storehouse at
11o Plummer avenue, where Dr. weis
was summoned and dressed the painful
wound. The police We're notified, but
upon a close search no trace of the
assassin was found. Polito was not
certain whether the shots he fired took
effect or not. The shooting was wit
messed by A. 'Lusheam, a Michigan Gen.
trail towerman.
The shooting has so far proven a
mystery to the police and recalls the
attempted assassination Of another
Italian fruit dealer nearly a year ago.
Poiito stated that he has received no
threatening letters and did not know
he had made any enemies.
