“BILLY” RUCH DIES IN GARY HOSPITAL

Newsboy Who Gave Crippled Leg to Save Life of Girl Victim of Pneumonia. “Billy” Rugh, heroic Gary newsboy, sacrificed his life to save that of a girl he had never seen. He will be buried at Briar Cliffs cemetery, Rock Island, 111., Monday, but the memory of his deed will live in his home forever, perpetuated by a statue which will be erected by his fellow citizens. [Rugh Willingly sacrificed his crippled leg that Miss Ethel Smith, who had been burned in an explosion of gasoline, might live. Both patients rallied from the operation, but Rugh developed pneumonia Tuesday, and, although nurses and physicians combatted the disease with all skill available, he died Friday morning. Steps have already been taken to perpetuate the story of Rugh’s sacrifice in the minds of the residents of Gary. A public meeting will be held Monday night at the Gary Hotel, at which plans will be made for the raising of money to erect a statue to the memory of the newsboy. Miss Smith, who has not fully recovered from the effects of the burns and the operation, was kept in ignorance of the death of her benefactor until late Friday afternoon. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she called her mother to her side. “I. am so sorry,” Miss Smith said. “He gave his life for me and I could do nothing for him.” The funeral services will be held at the Methodist church, in accordance with the last request of the newsboy. “My mother belonged to the Methodist church,” said Rugh, “and if I die I want the funeral services to be held at that church.” One hundred dollars already been, subscribed to the fund for the permanent memorial. A bronze tablet with an appropriate inscription will be erected at Sixth Avenue and Broadway, where Rugh sold papers. 'Arrangements have been made so Miss Smith may attend the funeral services, should her physicians find her able.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1912.

Mr. Voter, Be Fair with • This Man. WHllam H. Taft President Taft, in an article headed “The Supreme Issue,” in the current number of the Saturday Evening Post, deals with various questions of the campaign rather than a single subject. Speaking, in the introduction, of the solemn responsibilities of his office, he says: “To me there came as a heritage the noble records of those who had gone before—Washington and Lincoln, Grant and Garfield, McKinley and Roosevelt, great presidents and great republicans. ’ ’ Bound by his oath as president to uphold the constitution, he says: “I have spurned every attempt to undermine that great bill of rights which is indispensable to the preservation of our liberties ; and no man can say I have ever faltered, even when, as in more than Qne instance, the course to which I was fledged forfeited a certain popular approval or impelled the criticism of'the thoughtlessxor of that far greater class, those too greatly occupied in the turmoil of our industrial progress to investigate and reflect.” He declared his faith in the republican policy of protection, and says-that on that policy he stood four-square, heedless of unjust criticism, whether from the standpat element of the party, which opposed all revision or from the radicals who wished him to approve any measure lowering the duties, regardless of injury it might inflict. His reason, above all, for approving the Payne tariff bill, he says, was because it provided the machinery by which alone a just and intelligent revision of the tariff could be effected —a tariff bo«rd. No such body of progressive legislation has even been achieved, or even proposed by any party, he says, as that embodied in the railway rate bills of this and the last administrations. He mentions also acts passed for the protection of labor on railroads and the workmen’s compensation act, passed by the senate, but held up by - the house in order, he says, to prevent this administration from having the credit for it. Concerning the Chicago convention the president says: “No consideration of party weal or personal ambition Would for a single instant tempt me to stand before the American people as the presidential candidate of a great party, did I not know that there was no stain or flaw resting on my nomination; did I not know from the most painstaking examination of the evidence that the reckless assaults on the integrity of that nomination are as baseless as they are vicious; did I not know that eyery candid and unprejudiced observer, who will devote the time and patience necessary to an examination of the proceedings of the republican national convention, must pronounce that nomination conferred upon me without stain and without defect. ”

“RESUME CAMPAIGN” SAYS C. D. HILLES

Republican Campaign Must Go On At Top Speed After Brief Cessation. C. D. Hilles, chairman of the republican national committee, in a statement Thursday declared that the cessation of political activities which followed the attempt upon the life of Colonel Roosevelt is at an end as far as the republican committee is concerned. “The deplorable attack upon Colonel Roosevelt, arousing as it did a natural wave of sympathy and sentiment, in which President Taft and this committee freely shared, should not and cannot be considered politically,” said Chairman Hilles. “The republican campaign which together with all other campaigns has been more or less at a standstill for the last two days, is again at top speed and will continue so until election day."

Anson Cox came in from the Mar-latt-Chamberlin ranch today, where he has been working for some time.

The building will be 311x50 feet in dimensions and the lower floor will contain a fl-room flat and the upper story two 4-room flats. The building will have a pressed brick ♦front and Will cost about $6,000.

NEWLAND TROUBLE EXPANDS RAPIDLY

Son of Alleged Wife Beater Assaults and Severely Injures Will Postill and Escapes After Arrest. - A sequel to the arrest some two weeks ago of George Martin, of Newland, on the charge of assault with intent to kill his wife, was enacted Friday, when Charles Martin, son of George, severely beat up Will Postill at Newland and later escaped from officers after he had been arrested and brought to Rensselaer. The affair looks bad for the senior Martin, who is charged with having made threats that his son would come home from the northwest and settle matters with Postill. The father is now under arrest, charged with being an accessory before the fact to the assault committed by his son. The story of Martin’s arrest following the alleged assault upon his wife was published in The Republican at the time and later Mrs. Martin wrote a letter denying that her husband had attempted to Injure her. According to the statement of several, mainly the Rensselaer carpenters who have been working at the Ed -Oliver storage plant and barn, Martin had threatened to kill his wife and they say that on the day that the assault occurred she had gone to the house where the men were boarding and expressed her fear of her husband and asked that the men respond if she cried for help. At about 7 o’clock that evening the cries of “murder” rang out on the otherwise quiet evening air, and the men started toward the Martin house. Postill was the first one there. He dashed up the stairs and reports that Martin was bending over his wife, choking her and apparently butting her with his knee. Martin stopped when he approached and Mrs. Martin was later taken to the home of a neighbor, where they say she talked freely of her husband’s abuse. Postill and other workmen thought Martin should be severely dealt with. They were raised in an atmosphere where beating one’s wife is not tolerated. They, had Martin arrested and he waived a hearing in the justice’s court and was bound over to the circuit court. L. H. Hamilton went his bail.

There was nothing new about the matter until Friday morning. Postill had. gone to work on the Oliver storage plant and needed his 5-foot rule, which he had left at the home of Jim Rees. He started after it and, according to his story, met George Martin and his son Charles. The latter is a young man of about 20 years and weighs about 190 pounds. He had returned that morning from North Dakota, where he had been for several months. Postill states that youg Martin said to him: "You’re the fellow that is butting into my father’s business, are you?” With that Martin sailed into him and he made no resistence, because he expected the elder Martin to use his knife if he should get the better of the young man. He just leaned back and let young Martin beat him up. He soon went down under the weight of the blows and when the punishment had gone on a little bit he cried out “Enough,” and the elder Martin said: “Come on, Charley, he’s had enough, let him up.” Postill was able to get’ up, being injured only about the face and head. He did not come to town until the afternoon when he had his Injuries dressed. A warrant was sworn out for the arrest of young Martin and Marshal Mustard and Constable Parks served it and brought Martin to town. He was taken before Squire Bruner. It was reported there that Postill’s condition -was serious and it wts suggested that Martin, in self-defense, take another doctor to see him. His’ fattier, who had accompanied him to town, asked Justice Bruner if they could do that and was told that they could if the officers went along. 'They said they were going to get a doctor and Constable Parks started down the steps from Justice Bruner’s office with them. Marshal Mustard was approaching the steps' from the west on Washington street. Suddenly young Martin darted out of the stairway and ran to the Rowles & Parker corner, turning north. He was followed by the officers. They called on him to halt but he paid no heed and as he turned the corner at Cornelia street Officer Parks fired into the air, but this did not stop the fleeing man. Automobiles were hurriedly pressed into service and a quite thorough search of the town made and telephone messages were sent to Logan Wood atj Parr and to the marshal at Monon, but nothing was found of him, except j his coat and overcoat, which he had thrown off as he passed Knapp’s lir-; ery stable, evidently to hasten his flight. - * The father up to that time had hot

RAILROAD MEN HOLD CONFERENCE TODAY

Judge .Riley and Charles Hotchkiss Here to See B. J. Gifford—May —-■ Mean Purchase of Road. - • - B. J. Gifford, owner of the Chicago & Wabash Valley roalroad, the Gifford line, was this Saturday afternoon in consultatipn for some time with Charles Hotchkiss, president of the Illinois Trust Co., of Chicago, and his right-hand-man. Judge W. J. Riley, a director of the First National Bank of Calumet, 111., and a city judge there. Mr. Hotchkiss was formerly the general manager of the Chicago, Illinois and Southern railroad, the Indiana Harbor railroad and it was his work of promotion that resulted in the building of that road. He is one of the big railroad men of the middle west. - While The Republican was unable to learn anything concerning the nature of the business these gentlemen had with Mr. Gifford, it is known that Mr. Hotchkiss has found railroad building very profitable and that the demand for Indiana coal at the great manufacturing plants of the Calumet region makes it profitable for any road that enters the coal fields. Mr. Gifford has been pushing his road in that direction and also toward the north and toward Gary. It is not improbable that he has clients who look with favor on the acquisition of the Gifford property. The importance 0$ the conference is indicated not alone by the presence of these gentlemen, but by the further fact that Mr. George Gifford, who is the special attorney for his uncle, was also present. A Republican reporter had a brief telephone interview with Mr. G. H. Halsey, Mr. Gifford’s legal clerk, who has charge of the railroad offices maintained in Rensselaer, and he said that there was no news connected with the conference that he was at liberty to give out at this time. “There is nothing I could say at present,” replied Mr. Halsey to a question.

been arrested on the charge of complicity in the assault, but after the boy fled an affidavit was filed against him as an accessory before the fact. He was arraigned before Justice Bruner and his bail fixed at SIOO, which was supplied by Ll H. Hamilton. It is alleged that Martin bad inspired the boy tcy-whip Postill. The officers also state that he advised the boy to skip out. He denies both charges with vehemence. Martin has an automobile and is the mail carrier • between Newland and Gifford.
