TWO MEN INJURED
(Rlpley Bee)

William Berry was probably fatally
injured and Peyton Brooks received a
broken arm and three broken ribs
when three bents In the Cornick's Run
railroad bridge fell, Monday after
noon.
These men, both colored, were en-
ployed with the crew of men tearing
up the Ohio River & Columbus rail
road.
Brooks, with Garfield Reynolds, was
working on top of the bridge, while
Berry was employed on the ground
beneath. When the top supports
were removed these bents, not being
anchored underneath, fell carrying
Brooks and Reynolds with them. Both
men were thrown into the water below
Brooks being injured as stated above
So quickly did the accident happen
that Berry was unable to get out Of
the way and heavy timber struck
him fracturing his skull, breaking
three ribs and his shoulder. So great
was the impact that the injured mar
had to be dug out Of the mud. Other
than bad shaking up Reynolds was
not hurt.
The injured men were hurried t
the Offices of Drs. Tyler & Tyler
where their injuries were attended
Berry was later taken to the home o
bis brother on North Main street, ant
his condition is considered serious
Brooks was able to be about later II
tho day.

CHICAGO, June 23-Confessfon at
BoIogne by Alfredo Cocchi, that he
murdered Ruth Cruger, was reported
in press dispatches to police heads here
today. According to their information
Cocchi made full confession to Italian
police yesterday. With this evidence
of laxness in police methods which
permitted a murderer to slip out of
their hands, preparations were made
today for even deeper probe into
the whole New York police system.
Cross-examfnations of detectives and
others known to have been friendly
with CoccEi were adjourned until Nom
day. The authorities are concerned
now with the problem of extraditing
Cocchi.

THIS IS A
REAL SCRAP

One of the prettiest fights that has
ever been seen in Lake county is be-
tween Battling Hammond and Kid In
diana Harbor and the last round won't
be fought until next Monday.
The fight is for the Middleweight Red
Cross contribution championship of
Lake county. Gary has already won
the heavyweight championship and sec
ondary honors lie between Hammond
and indiana Harbor.
Kid Harbor won the first few rounds
easily. She put in $4,000 right off the
plate and Hammond with a pittance of
$4,000 was sparring for wind. Since
then Battling Hammond has been COM
ing back strong. Yesterdays results
showed the Kid with $4,000 and the
Battler with almost that sum.
The round was even and the Kid is
realizing that he Is up against a games
ter. At noon today both scrappers were
over the $4,000 mark and each was
confident of getting beyond the $4,000
quota.
How far beyond next Monday night
will tell and which will be the farthest
beyond.
It's hot scrap.
