THIS ED!T0BA CRAGK Shows Crown Point's Marksmen How to Dp Up Things. Crown Point, Ind., May 11. (Special) John Wheeler, the Star editor, had the pleasure of convincing a few young men in town that he hadn's forgotten how to handle a gun yesterday, when at a clay-pigeon shoot, he put them all "on the wing," end their hopes of victory went up in smoke. It all happened In a casual way, and the young men are .wishing that they had not boaster of their' -prowe-js in the editor's presence, and challenged him to a test of their respective skill in shooting. Mr. Wheeler hasn't had a gun in his hands for nearly twenty years, but yesterday succeeded in breaking thirteen out of a possible sixteen clay pigeons, while his opponents who pride themselves on their ability at Cue trap made a much lower score. Hereafter when youngsters 'around town want to challenge anyone, they will take some one besides an old army man, who was at one time, ihe crack shot at the old Gun Club of years ago. Among those competing were Bert Meeker, Harold H. Wheeler and other members of the Gun Club.. CUS SPLIT WITH PIRATES. As if in keeping with a time-honored custom in-all dotfble-headers between that pair of -teams the bargain bill between the Cubs' and " Pirates at West Side Park yesterday resulted in an even' break. It's nearly always thus when the Chance and Clafk gangs get together. The Champs won the opener in a walk, 6 to 2, but suffered a grand trimming in -the subsequent fracas, 1 to 0.. It was a-case of too much Willis in the afterpiece, and the old vet, working likt a machine, held the Cubs to two hits, one of which was the freakiest fort of a scratch. DYER IS BEATEN. The ball game Sunday afternoon between the Schererville and Dyer boys at the Schererville grounds, was very Interesting from start to finish and resulted in a score of 11 to 6 in favor of Schererville. , - A large number of Dyer people took advantage of the pleasant day and drove over to see the game. The boy 3 piayed a good, game

H0BART TEAM BEATEN. Hobart, Ind., May 10. The White Stars of Chicago defeated the home team here today by the scohe of 8 to 5. The score by Innings: White Stars 1 0 0 1 3 0 3 0 0 8 Hobart 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 35 Three-base hit Howard. Struck out by Ewert, 11; by Hendricks, 9. Time 1:50. NAPS GET ONE FROM SOX. Breaking even and sticking around the .500 mark seems to be the chief occupations of the White Sox since the rainy season ended. They . divvied ,up yesterday's double-header with the Naps and are now, as they speed eastward, disputing a place in the first division with St. Louis. The Sox led the complex life all day on account of inability to swat much. They cast away the first encounter, 1 to 3, White pitching against Thielman; but Frank Smith, who the day before made possible some gladsome tidings in the second game by blanking the Naps, 2 to 0. STRANG TO DRrVE THOMAS. Lewis Strang, who by virtue of his triumphs in therecent road races over the Savannah and Briarcliff courses won the topmost place in yankee motoring circles, stopped off In Chicago yesterday long enough to assure the Motor Boat Club of his presence Friday as a contestant In the Algonquin hill climb. Strange has been engaged to drive the Thomas, the only American car entered for the Grand Prix over the Dieppe course of 481 miles on July 8, and will start shortly for New York, whence he sails for Cherbourgh, France.

Continued from page 1). there, the trunk there, and the limbs as Mrs. Gunness sewed them up in the gunny sacking." ice cream, a cents; ice cream, a cents," piped a man with a white wagon at the edge of the road just as a surrey converted into a candy wagon and manned by white coated men pulling white cream dashed- by, shedding dust over the cornucopias of cold sweets for dispensation to waiting customers. The network of evidence which is being gradually wound around Ray Lamphere indicates that he will be convicted of complicity in at least one of the Gunness murders. Ira Hoover, a farmer living near the house of tragedy, saw a man whom he believes was Lamphere hurrying away from the fire. Another charge which Colonel Sutherland says the state Is ina position to bring against Lamphere is that he was a confederate of Mrs. Gunness in at least one of her murders, that of Hclgelein. Attention Is called by Colonel Sutherland to the fact that Jan. 14, the day fixed a's the that on which Helgelein was murdered,' several inches of snow was on the ground and the earth beneath it was frozen hard. Under these circumstances Mrs. Gun ness, the state's prosecutor claimed must have had assistance in burying Ka o,q i f v,i i wiv uv jl jr t auu 11 one ikxvi, it aiuiic, Lamphere would have noticed that the snow had been dug away on his return to the farm from Michigan City. The prosecution therefore charges that if Lamphere did not assist in the actual murder of Helgelein he at least had knowledge of it and helped to bury the corpse. That Lamphere was aware of Mrs. Gunness' custom of bringing men to her farm by means of matrimonial advertisements is proven, Colonel Sutherland states, by the fact that the hired man acted as a messenger to Michigan City to meet one John Moo, who had responded to Mrs. Gunness letters. Plnkerton Sleuth in Authority. C. J. Smith, the representative of the Chicago office of the Plnkerton National Detective agency, who has been employed by the county, now Is regarded as the highest authority upon the solution to the great mystery. He has been upon the scene for three days, and, while his duties have been kept secret so far as possible, it has been learned that his conversations with witness have indicated beyond a doubt the conclusion he has already reached. Sheriff Smutzer stated this evening that ail will be ready in the morning for the operations of Louis Scholtz, the mining expert, who is to have charge of the "washing" of the ashes left in the ruins of the house In search of traces of the $300 worth of gold which ornamented Mrs. Gunness teeth.
