The old Maple Inn, now known as
the Sheridan road Inn, was the scene
of brawl and gun-play eraly Sunday
morning which revived the luried mem
cries of its past, when it was raided
time and again by county officials.
This time, however, the raid, If 1t
may be called that, was made by the
police.
Answering call that stated that
there was shooting at the Sheridan
road Inn," the police responded with
six men, in spite Of the fact that the
call came to the place which is just
outside the city limits. A squad of
six men, lead by Sergeant E. F. Meiss-
ner, took to the south, and when they
arrived at the Inn, not only took
charge of the fighters but turned the
impromptu visit into midnight
raid.
Bartender in Apron Flees.
During the brawl at the Inn, previ-
Gus to the the arrival of the police,
three shots were fired. It was this up
roar and the sound of shooting that

peaceful residents of Sheridan road
who were within earshot and the sum-
moning of the police.
Sergeant Meissner, Detectives Breidt,
Chase and Tusler and officers Turkel-
son and Olsen were soon on hand in
the police cars, and they surrounded
the place.
When the fight was over Sergeant
Meissner and Detective Chase OBJ
served man wearing bartender's
apron ducking down across the yard
from the inn to barn. According to
the police he deposited several bottles
in the shed and then ran.
Lands in Some Sand-burrs.
The two detectives fired their revolt
vers in his direction but skyward, to
brighten the fugitive, and the cry Of
the bullets had their effect. The man
dropped in bunch of sand-burrs, and
yelled, "Don't shoot anymore"
It was an unconditional surrender.
He came out of the bushes with sand
burrs on his back and his hands over
his head.
This, the police found, was Angelo
Spanelo. He was arrested on the
charge of possession of Intoxicating
liquor.
When he was searched black jack
was found on his person, and the sec
ond charge of carrying concealed
weapons was also preferred against
him.
Spanelo has a previous record. He
was arrested December 20, 1928, by
Detective McCluskey, Police officers
Harold Rock and George O'Hare for
carrying concealed weapons, and that
time upon his conviction he was fined
$500 and costs.
Bonds of $500 were furnished later
Sunday afternoon for the appearance
of Spanelo in court today.
Arrest Fighters at Scene.
Salvatore Demma, IS, of the Sheri-
dan road Inn, was another arrested
Sunday morning by the police. Demma
also wore the apron Of the servitor.
The charge placed against him was
disorderly conduct. Demma was ar
rested once before by the police on
the charge of receiving stolen goods.
The police believe that Spanelo,
during the fight and brawl at the Inn
previous to the arrival of the police,
shot from the porch at the others in
order to Brighten the fighters and end
the row.
Meanwhile two of the men who were
believed to have been fighting at the
place were arrested and charged with
disorderly conduct. They were; Mag
nus P. Lawson, 1119 Elizabeth street,
and Tom Boyle, 721 Fleet street.

In the FAMILY summer nome at
Fox Lake.
Mrs. Lille Holt, plaintiff in a $500
damage suit filed in the circuit court
here on Saturday in which she sought
damages to that amount from Oryiiie
Zimmerman, Twin Lakes, alleging
that she sustained severe injuries
when car driven by Himmelmsn
crashed into her car recently, is dead
at her home at Fox Lake, ILL.,, end
Arthur Holt, 80, and his step-daughter,
Mrs. Clara Harcq of Chicago, are
charged with murder. Albert Harcq,
son-in-law, is also under arrest.
These were the outstanding develop
ments in the chain of events which
started on Sunday night in the dining
room of the Holt home at Fox Lake,
and which ended at noon today in the
states attorneys Office at Waukegan.
Mrs. Holt was shot to death under
mysterious circumstances in the pres
ence of her husband, Arthur, and her
daughter, Mrs. Clara Harcq, 81.
Scout Suicide Theory.
An investigation was Immediately
started by Coroner John L. Taylor of
Lake county, and it was upon his
recommendation that States Attorney
A. v. Smith of Lake county ordered
the three arrested, and warrants were
Immediately sworn out. All three are
in custody in Waukegan. The coroner
found evidence, he said, that discredits
a suicide version. Mrs. Holt was shot
four times. One bullet pierced her
head at the base of the skull in a
course which could not have been self
inflicted, the coroner said. Another
bullet penetrated the right breast,
and two more entered just below
the heart.
According to Holt and Mrs. Harcq,
they spent the afternoon Ceiling to-
gether, returning to the Fox Lake
about dark. Mrs. Holt, husband and
daughter say, had prepared chicken
dinner earlier and began complaining
because the meal, already spread up.
on the table, had become cold.
Holt and Mrs. Harcq say that Mrs.
Holt retired sulkily to the bedroom
and that the daughter followed her
there. Within this room the two
women quarreled, according to the
daughter. Then Mrs. Harcq stepped
into the dining room, followed by
her mother.
Mother must have taken the re-
volver out of a drawer in the bed
room bureau" she said. "She began
shooting at herself after she was
in the dining room"
Mrs. Holt was 45.
Holt and his step-daughter both con-
tend Mrs. Holt committed suicide
after a family quarrel.
The damage suit which brought the
two Hollis to Kenosha on Saturday
arose out of an accident on the Geneva
road on April 8, 1925, when Mr.. and
Mrs. Holt were driving near Twin
Lakes. A car driven by OrvilIe Him
melman of Twin Lakes, attempted to
pass the Holt car on the left, accord
ing to the complaint in the damage
suit. And in so doing it ssruck the
Holt car on the left and front causing
the car to be ditched and bruising the
two occupants. Holt filed suit for
$500, alleging that he had lost the
services of his wife, and Mrs Holt
had fled for $1,000 claiming injuries
to that extent as a result of the
accident.
