BULLET STRUCK fl BOY

TIIK YOUNCJSTKRS WKIIII IVIKTI.Y DISTltlUniMi YALLWTINCS. W. tiny Wenver 1'lrrd Recnuse They Would .Not Stop lie In IMaced Inder Arrest. The pleasure of distributing valentines secretly, as Is the custom of children, was rudely interrupted last night on Church street, and the practice was the cause of a shooting which resulted In the arrest of W. Clay "Weaver, living at Wllkins and Church streets, on charges of shooting with Intent to kill George Gaughan, eleven years of age, living at 1023 South Capitol avenue, and with shooting In the city limits. The lad was not injured,, though th3 bullets from Weaver's pistol struck him ir the side. Weaver recently moved Into the city, and has on hl3 house a sign. "Notary' Public." There 13 also a sign, "Plain Sewing." Young Gaughan and some playmates itartcd out to distribute valentines by shoving them under the doors, ringing the bell and running. After visiting a number of houses they went to Weaver's, and juit as they were leaving Weaver entered the gate. The boys became frightened at his Kruff demand to know wnat they were doing, and. pushing past him, ran across the ttreet. Weaver told them to stop and at tho same time, pulled a revolver from his pocket and tired. He said he shot towaid the ground, but the bullet struck youi'g Gaughan, who was about one hundred feet away. Ulcycle Policemen Streit and Losh. who were sent to verify tho report of the shooting made to headquarters, arrested Weaver. caver sala ho shot because the boyj would not stop, ad he and nla wife had been made miserable by their annoying practices. He thougut they had been stealing, ho said THE CLUB AGAINST IT. Commercial Club Wants St. Clnlr rark Left Intact. The committee appointed by President Spann, of tho Commercial Club, to consider the bill providing for the sale of the St. Clair Park property met yesterday after noon and went In a body to the Statehouse to present to the Governor the resolutions which were adopted by the directors and to personally express to him the eentlment of the club concerning the purchase. The committee consisted of Hilton U. Brown. chairman, Charles E. Coffin, II. II. Ilanna, A. L. Mason and William J. Richards. The resolutions were as follows: "Whereas. The directors of the Commer cial Club hear with concern that measures? are pending in the Indiana General Assembly looking to the sale or division or part or all of the public ground known as the St. Clair tjuare and the Institute for the Blind grounds, and Whereas. It Is proposed to set apart a portion of this ground . for a site for a Governor's residence, therefore "Resolved. That we. as representatives of the members of this club, hereby express the opinion that such sale, partition or change of purpose in the use of these grounds would be a serious mistake that could never be rectified. As citizens of the State, we appeal to the members of the General Assembly not to permit an act that would forever deprive the State's capital city of a fair plat of ground now dedicated to a noble purpose and which incidentally permits or artistic and healthgiving results to the city. "As citizens of the capital, we urge the members of the Assembly from Marlon county to use their constant efforts to prevent the removal of the Blind Insti tute from the site in question, and to labor to preserve intact the open ground surrounding ,the Institute. We also Invite the attention of the Governor to the fact that to construct a Governor's man sion in St. Clair Park would be at the expense of one of the few public breath ing places in the heart of the capital city, and that such a course would cause lasting regret on the part of all the citizens of Indianapolis and of large numbers of other citizens of Indiana. "Resolved, That the president of the boarü be directed to appoint a committee of rive rrom the membership of the club to wait without delay on the two houses of the Assembly and the Governor of the State to urge these views and to continue their efforts, if necessary, so Ions as the Legislature is in session. "Resolved, also, That the secretary be directed to send copies of this resolution to the Marlon county representatives and senator, and, if deemed advisable, to call a publlo meeting of citizens of Indianapolis to take such action as may be deemed wise."

Police Juuge Daly, in sentencing Minnie McCarty, alias Mrs. McCann, to pay a fine of $23 and costs and a workhouse imprisonxnent of thirty days for keeping an Immoral resort at 3C6 Massachusetts avenue, said: 'lf this was a common case of 'keeping a house the usual line would be assessed, but as it seems to be a place to which married women resort, the fine will be $25 and cost.s and thirty days in the case of Mrs. McCann, and $10 and costs and twenty days In the cares of the others." Charles West, charged with living in the Immoral resort. was included, with four women, in "tho others." Tho cases were appealed and bondj for all were furnished by Carl A. Frederic, a collector for the Indianapolis Brewing Company. "Babe" Charles, 25 West Pearl street, and "Pap" Fuller, 111 East Court street, wera each fined $10 and costs for keeping gambling houses. Seven men from Charles's place and six from Fuller's were each fined $5 and costs on charges of gambling. Seven men" arrested at Charles's place were not tried, the cases being- dismissed for tho icason that it appeared they were In a rcom other than that In which the games w-ire in operation, and prosecutor Collins thought a conviction could not ba made. During the trial of the gamblers the jiosecutor at-ked a patrolman who was a witness regarding tho "paraphernalia' found The counsel, upon being advised that the witness did not understand what was meant, started in to have a little fun, but it was cut short by the ready answer of the witness to the question: "Those dice were all the paraphernalia found there?" "yes," said the witness, "all except those there." pointing to the men charged with gambling. Judge Daly laughed at the apt and unusually appropriate reply. WILL GIVE A BANQUET.

CROSBY AGAIN IN FRONT

maim: high gvs yf.stkhd.vy with SCORE OF i:0 1 OUT OF 210. Holla Heikes Joined the Tarty and Made a Poor Showing Grnnd , Central Handicap To-Day. W. B. Crosby again carried off the high gun in the Limited Gun Club's tournament yesterday. The programme was the same as on Wednesdayfourteen events at fifteen targets each; 51.50 entrance fee. Crosby started off with straight scores in the first fivo events. In the sixth he missed two targets, but killed straight in the seventh. He missed one in the eighth and two in tho ninth. In the next three he killed straight and lost one in the thirteenth. In the last event he scored straight. Ills score for the day was 204 out of a possible 210. His score for the first day was 207 out of a possible 210. Rolla Heikes joined the shooters yesterday, but made a poor showing with the targets, falling to get a single straight score, while in two of the events he killed but ten. Nearly all his other scores were thirteen out of fifteen. Fanning made a fair average, as did also Fred Gilbert. The local shooters did not do so well. On "Wednesday there were twentyfour shooters on the ground, while yesterday the number was increased to thirtyfive. The big event of the tournament is on the programme for to-day, being the Grand Central handicap at live pigeons. It is ex pected there will be at least twenty-five entries at $25 entrance fee. Each man will shoot at twenty-five birds. An extra event was begun after the regular programme last evening, but darkness caused a postponement until this morning. It was a miss and out at live pigeons, 2' entrance. When the event was postponed Deck, Par ry, uiibert. Head, Crosoy ana mice naa killed five straight. The others had dropped out earlier In the contest. The birds were rather sluggish, and it Is believed that unless the weather is a little warmer today the birds will not be hard fljers as a rule. Mr. Cooper drew the hardest one of the lot on his first trial, and, missing it. was forced to drop out. The scores for the fourteen events at fif teen targets yesterday were as follows: Crosby 151 Ii 11 12 15 1 1 ' i 15 1315 15!14 ,14113115115, 1415 1414 15! 14, 15 i4ji4jr 13 I0i l3 15l4il4 i5!ia;i2 1313J14 12j 8j 9 13112 13 13,11 15 Fanning I"! 14! 14 14 12! 13! 12!

He Predicts a Stormy Time for the American I-engue. President Charles B: Power, of the Amer ican Association, arrived In the city yesterday to confer with Mr. "NVatklns, of the Indianapolis club. Some of the business of the association that was looked after by Watklns, prior to the selection of Mr. Power as the permanent president, was discussed, and leases were turned over to Power. Then the two gentlemen discussed baseball. President Power has Just re turned from a trip over the Eastern circuit, and says he found the American Associa tion In good condition and everything harmonious In the organization, while he picked up many funny storiea concerning the American League. He said the Boston capitalists who are booked to back the American League club in that city have backed out of the agreement, and Johnson and Somers are now in that city with a search warrant looking for men who have money to throw away on an American League club in Boston. lrcsident Power says Connie Mack has a stormy time in Philadelphia, and Man ning is already wrecked in Washington, as he has been unable to secure grounds in the capital city. A story comes from New York that Manning will try to secure grounds in Brooklyn for his American League club and will desert Washington. He will experience as much trouble in Brooklyn, however, it is said, and the circuit of the American League will have to be changed again. McGraw In Baltimore is sending out many stories concerning his easy sailing, but they are greatly exaggerated and only the work of a good pres3 agent. Power and Watklns talked about the cost of establishing the American League in the Kast, and they are at a loss to bring themselves to a realization that the league will really invade the East. With Manning out of Washington there is more trouble on hands for the American League. President Tower says he has received nearly fifty applications from men who desire to umpire in the association this season, and ho receives many letters daily from players who say they want to sign contracts for association clubs. lie said the. association clubs will not experience the least trouble in securing good talent. President Power will likely make a trip over the Western circuit before returning to Pittsburg. W rcstllnc Matcn To-XIht. The Murbarger-Snyder wrestling match will tako place to-night at the Empire Theater. A message was received from Dayton last night saying that Snyder will be here this morning. In addition to the wrestling match there will be some vaudeville turns and two glove contests. Walter Evans and Tom Stewart will furnish coon song3 and ragtime music, and will thus enliven things between the bouts of the wrestling match. Masters Will Goza and Eddie Williams will also contribute to this end by singing popular sonfes. An Interesting feature of the preliminary rart of the show will be a competition In buck and wing dancing between Jesse Clark and Professor Fox. A prize cake walk and a battle royal are also on the programme. The wrestling match will be for a side bet and the receipts of the house. Murbarger will have the better of Snyder In weipht. He will weiffh about 16." pounds, while Snyder is under 1W). It will be catch-as-catch-can style, two falls out of three. There being no regular performance at the theater to-night the athletic entertainment will begin at S o'clock. There Is a belief expressed in this city that the Jeffrlea-ltuh'.in light will take place at Covington, Ky.. to-night or at pome convenient point Just out of Judge Holllster's Jurisdiction. A wire will le ready, and if the ne:ht comes off the returns will be rend from the stage. ISevr Association.

and other articles stolen from the residence of J. II. Crawford, 3üS East North street, evcral days ago. A man giving the name of Paul Lang, San Francisco, but who Is known to have teen a Chicago thief, was arrested and credited with the "job," and it is thought that he sent word to pals to return the plunder, thinking no doubt the net would fce taken Into account In passing ju Jgment.
