Put An End
To Neuritis

Neuritis is an Inflammation of the
nerves, brought on by colds, injuries,
bruises, malaria or infectious dis
eases. As a rule it settles in the
shoulder. neck, forearm, thigh, leg
or small of the back. causing msrci-
less stabbing pains that are often
mistaken for rheumatism, sciatlea
or neuralgia.
Regardless of what caused your
neuritis or where the pains are To-
Gated, it is possible to obtain quick
relief without taking narcotics or
other dangerous drugs, An applica-
ton of Tysmol over the part that
hurts usually stops the misery Ty-
amol is absorbed through the pores
OF the skin and has a soothing, heal
ing effect upon the diseased nerves.

MONTHS BLACK
AND TAN RESORT
CLOSED AGAIN
Following Shooting AT
fray, Notorious Black
And Tan Resort Closed
Last Night.

The re-opening of the old Black
and Tan dance hall at f724 Adams
street last night, famous in the days
when Gaspari Monti was Its proprie-
tor, when a murder was committed,
another shooting and other escapes
familiar to police circles, was any
thing but short lived.
After the place had been closed
for some time, effort was made to
reopen it to denizens of the south
side underworld. It was to have
been the grand opening and nights
OF revelry had been planned like
those of it's heyday.
This morning the doors Of the no.
torlous hall are closed and will re-
main closed until Chief OF Police
Forbls of the Gary police depart
ment and city officials permit the
owners to reopen. il is not likely
that they will ever consent to this,
and the Black and Tan Is doomed
for the oblivion.
Hardly had the doors been thrown
open last night TO the notorious
hangers on that habit the place,
than there was shooting. There
was an investi CATION made by police
officers, but no one who was in the
place seemed to know anything about
lie, in fact. IL was r. case of not
wanting to know anything about
the details. The order came to close
the place and keep it closed. To-
night and henceforth It will be in
darkness.
There Is story told that in the
heyday of the Black and Tan, pat
rons were searched when they came
In the doors. Guns, knives and
weapons were placed In a box and
when IL came time for them to go
home, their implements of warfare
We're given back to them. AT one
time there was a whole box full OF
knives and guns.
This was when Gaspari Monti, no.
torious south side Italian, conducted
the place. Eli Johnson, was killed
by Willie Young In the place. Both
were colored There was also an
other shooting that took place in
the resort and other brawls too
numerous to mention. It was known
as the most notorious place on the
south side. While Atonti vas owner.

]. e. Wilburn today defended him
self from the charge Of Staying Dep
uty John c. Gore last August 81, in
the West Virginia mine war.
The defense expected to get before
the jury the minister's own story of
why he left the non-union field of
Logan county more than two years
ago to come into the union field at
Blair. While Wilburn was not per-
mitted to tell his story to the jury he
declared in statement that he was
taken by deputies of the Guyon (non.
union) side, practically held in jail
at hotel, and finally expelled from
the field because he made utterances
in some of his sermons favorable to
unionization of the mine field. The
court declined to let the jury heal
the story until it could examine
authorities concerning the point.
