Metz Schneider, Toledo, 0., Receives 6,000 Volts of Electricity Through His Body and Dies Soon After Terrible Fall to Ground.

Very Attractive in a Good

Many Ways.

INVESTIGATION IS N0V UNDER WAY

Lineman On South Beid Interurban

Killed at Gary While He Was Re

pairing Wire Through Which Cur

'rent Was Turned On By Arrival of

Car Try to Place the Blame.

Met Schaetder of Toledo, O., a- line

man employed by the Chicago, Lake Shore and South Bend lnterorban, rram almost lanttatlr killed at Gary Saturday afternoon at 3:80 when 8,600 Tolt of electricity waa shot through hi

body aa ho waa worklnar on the wire

at Broadway. Although he laid on the

grand apparently- llfeleaa after the ter.

rifle shock It waa thought for a time that he could be revfred, bnt the ef-

forta were nnanceeaaful.

Tbat some one is responsible for the

man's death ia an assured fact, and Coroner E. R. Gordon, who was in Gary

Saturday investigating the case, said

that the matter would be investigated to the most minute detail. At the time that the lineman was working in re

pairing the wire there was no elec

tricity on, but suddenly the current

flashed through the line and the man

dropped like a stone twenty feet to

the earth. "Workmen Give Explanation.

The explanation of the affair given

by the fellow-workers who saw the the accident -is that the current was

cauaed by the arrival of a car. which

upon turning onto the switch, east

bound, established the connection which resulted in the man's death. They say

thTe had been a watchman placed on

th(5 road to watch for the cars, but

that his failure to perform his duty

caused the death of the man.

The inquest on the case was held

today at 10 o'clock, and if the fact

warrant it there may be some action

taken by Coroner Gordon against th

parties who are found negligent. In

any event there will be an attempt made to find out who was directly responsible. Coroner Gordon is of the belief that some one's carelessness caused the death of Schneider. As soon as the accident occurred the man was taken in Jones' ambulance to the Mercy hospital, the physician still holding out hope that he could be revived. The victim's face was purple, his eyes and teeth were set, and none of his friends expected him to live an hour. Although he was taken to the hospital it is thought that he was dead before he arrived. Metz Schneider is an experienced lineman, who has been employed for the past few months by the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend railroad. His home is in Maumee, O., on the Maumee river, but a short distance from Toledo. While at home he lived with his parents, and was a single man. He was 27 years old.

The building of the Gary pumping

tation, which has been delayed on ac

count of the failure of the structural

teel to arrive, will be carried forward

without delay in the future.

The necessary materials have arrived

and the work of construction will be-1 gin at once. The station is to be located in the publis park between Fifth

and Sixth avenuea and will be one of the finest in the state.

The water tunnel which extends a

mile or more out into Lake Michigan, is now completed and this means that Gary will have a purer and better wa

ter supply than any of its sister cities aa soon as the big pumps are put in and the supply is secured from this source.

At the present time the water sup

ply of the city of Gary is pumped by a battery of large gasoline engines and is very unsatisfactory, but n the near

future two large pnmps will be put In

to pump the general supply and two other reserve engines will be used in

cue of fire. The pressure Will then be great enough to insure the protec

tion of property and Gary's fire Insurance rate is expected to go down accordingly.

The buildiAg which is to house the

big engines will be constructed of arti

ficial stone, which will be. exceedingly

attractive. It will be similar to that of

which the First National bank is con

struoted and of a better quatiy.

This is in line with the policy of the

city and the steel company to make all

of its municipal buildings attractive in design and in that manner add to the

appearance of the city.

Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 9. The senatorial question is consuming the at

tention of the state capitol now. Aside from Mr. Slack's formal an nouncement there was another Inter

esting development in the senatorial

race. That was Thomas Taggart's first

appearance as a candidate for senator

Mr. Taggart did not introduce himsel

in a formal manner, and it is not prob

able he will make an announcement on the subject, but he is a candidate, and

his Italian hand is busy beckoning

members of the legislature into hi

corral.

His friends, who have long been as

sociated with him in politics, are jus

as busy as he is. They are quoting

fifty-seven varieties of reasons why he should be elected senator, but the prin. cipal point made by them is that he would do more toward rehabilitating the democratic party than any other many mentioned. They think that as senator he would get all that is coming to the Indiana democracy and perhaps a little more. The news that Mr. Taggart is a candidate, coming so closely after the authorized announcement of John W. Kern's candidacy, created surprise and comment. Mr. Taggart and Mr. Kern

have long been friends, politically as well as personally, and few persons had believed that both would be candidates for senator. It is probable that the entries in the senatorial race are now complete. The candidates are John W. Kern, John E. Lamb. Thomas Taggart, L. Ert Slack and B. F. Shively. Those mentioned as "dark horses" are Henry Warrum, Daniel W. Simms, Samuel Ralston and Major G. "V. Menzies.

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Nov. 9. A num

ber of East Chicagoans were made vic

tims of a suave trick on Saturday and,

Incidentally, gave 25 cents each to the

Holiness society, a band of religious workers who are operating extensively in this state. About noon there ap

peared In the city an old man, very shabbily dressed and absolutely un-

couth in appearance. Over his shoulder

was flung a sack, containing several suspicious looking bundles.

Approaching a business man anj holding out the bundles, he solicited the purchase of a set of stories that have been condemned by the police for

several years. "The Tale of an Actress," was one of tne 1 titles, and of course, the purchasers were easily found. "The regular price is 50 cents each, but I will sell them today at two for a quarter," was the agent's explanation of his sales. , Holding out a second envelope, it was said to contain other pernicious literature. Expecting something from the pen of a Boccaccio, or stories from the life of Du Barry, the eager purchasers slipped the fellow a quarter, grabbed the books and started for some secluded place in which to persue their contents. And right at this point is where the fun commenced. With looks of chag

rin appearing in every possible facewrinkle, the "easy mark" pulled from his envelopes, not the original stories of high life, but real, quiet, legitimate Sunday school literature. A copy of the laws of the Holiness church was also Included in the bargain, and with

unusual wrath, the purchasers sought

the agent. Little satisfaction was to be ob

tained from this source, however, the agent declaring that he had not advertised the stories as the original

doubtful literature. No one could deny

this and all decided to take the "swindle, as they termed it, in good faith. Great and many are the ways of working charity from the. pocket-

books of the masses!

Man the Driver. No man will ever admit that any

woman can drive better than he can.

Even the woman who dances on the

back cf a horse at the circu3 doesn't know as much about horses as he does. The only reason he can't dance on the back of a horse Is that he can't dance; It Isn't the back of the -horse that cuts any figure. The man who drives with a woman, and lets the woman drive, should have one of these two signs tacked to him If he wants to keep the respect of other men: "I am in love," or "I have rheumatism in my fingers."

MILK SHIPPERS IN MASS MEETING " w "

Big Gathering of Dairymen

and Farmers at Crown

Point Saturday.

Judge Rfchter will preside at the

trial, of Ray Lamphere for the murder of Mrs. Belle Gunness and her three children. The verdict in the case is expected to Bettle the question of

whether the archmurderess set Are to her house and fled, or was murdered by Lamphere, her hired man.

(Special to The Times.) Crown Point, Nov. 9. Central Music hall was nearly filled to its capacity on Saturday by the milk shippers of the county, who had assembled there to confer with some of the leading experts connected with their industry in Illinois and Indiana. Dr. Bittings was the principal speaker of the session and he outlined the method of procedure in the recent agitation for clean and sanitary conditions of the milk houses, and the wiping out of all the cattle affected with tubereulosis. The farmers and and milk shippers as a rule seemed to be in favor of a thorough inspection

of Lake county cattle in a search for

the dreaded disease, and an earnest ac

tive and immediate campaign (Will be instituted in an effort to stamp out all

.traces of this disease in cattle. The farmers realize that a better condition of their stock will nelp their business ! materially, and it is now thought that

the oft mentioned objection against the

present actions and measures used in

the carrying out of their business will be eliminated and that nearly every

farmer will receive the inspection of Lake county cattle with pleasure, as

it is a steptoward the betterment of

their business.

Dr. V. D. Weis, secretary of the

board of health also attended the meet ing and made an address.

Gary's first cemetery will be located

at Glen Park.

It has been known for some time past that a number of Gary and Crown

Point men have been looking for

suitable location for a cemetery for

Gary, but they have worked quietly and little was known of their movements untrT yesterday, when a Times

man learned the story.

An option has been secured on two

pieces of land near Glen Park, contain

ing about 100 acres in all. It is said

by one. of the promoters that a legal

question has arlseu over the title to one of thetracts of land and the pro

moters are loath to give their names

until this matter has been decided in the courts. The cemetery, when laid out, will be one of the finest in the state. No pains or expenses will be spared to convert the now barren sand hills into a garden and spot of green. It will be arranged

with wide walks and driveways and will be dotted with trees and shrubs. A big lagoon will be constructed in the center and miniature canals will wind about the hillsides. The new cemetery will be named the Oak Hill Cemetery of Gary. It will be owned by the Oak Hill Cemetery Association of Gary, and it is said there is no limit to the finances at the back of the promoters. They consist of one Gary man, one Crown Point man and two Chicago capitalists. At this time they are unwilling to have their names

published but say that it is only a mat

ter of a short time until the articles of incorporation for the company will be filed at Indianapolis.

The location of the cemetery is

thought to be the best of any that

could be secured in or around Gary, on

account of- it being centrally located. Besides being in close proximity to Gary it is also near many other neigh

boring towns and on account of the

beauty of the cemetery there will be many people who will bury their dead at this place.

The cemetery will be a combination

Catholic and Protestant buying ground.

It will be divided into two distinct sections.

A rather queer incident happened last evening which may be a prelude to

something serious. Three little boys were going down Oliver street when they were stopped by a rather rough

looking character wearing a short

stubby beard, and a sweater, who asked

them to show him where Banker Bader lived. The boys took him down to the Bader house in Oliver street, but as

no one was at home they thought per

haps he was at the residence of his sister, Mrs. John Schaub. Going over

to Sheridan avenue they found Mr. Bader at Schaub's, where he requested the boys to call Mr. Bader out.

Clalma Under' Acquaintance. When Mr. Bader appeared he tried

to make blieve he was well acquainted

with him. Mr. Bader promptly Informed him that he thought he was mistaken, for he did not know his strange caller. When the man seemed so persistent he said: "What is my

name?" The man said "Frank Bader."

Mr. Bader sald "I guess your in wrong,"

and walked away.

After leaving the Schaub residence.

the man went north on Sheridan ave

nue to the lake, and he being followed by the boys, they saw him meet a "pal"

and it was then they reported the af

fair to the police. N The officers made a hurry up trip to the lake front, but were unable to find" the man answering this decriptlon. but intend keeping on the alert for suspicious characters.

Miss Leah Kline and Mr. E. H. Mundell were the guests of Hammond friends Friday evening.

Fred Kappleman, of Crown Point, formerly of East Gary, is the most abused man in the county, according to the five paragraphs of a complaint which was recently filed in the Lake superior court at Hammond and which win shortly come up for trial. Conspiracy is the charge which he makes against seven of the most promising residents of the town formerly known as Lake Station.

The alleged persecutors wno will now be prosecuted by Mr. Kappleman are: Sam Blaemire.'city clerk of East Gary; Thomas Stearns, township assessor; Jo-

sepn rerry, now living in Gary: Darious Blake, a justice of the peaee; Sylvester A. Smith, town marshal. and

John Burt a well known citizen of the place. The amount of damage caused by the mental and physical anguish is placed at $5,000. The defendants are

sued jointly.

Grows From Old Time Fend. The case was evolved directly from

the arrest of Kappleman on the charge of carrying concealed weapons. Back of this, however, there lies the history of a neighborhood feud which lasted

for a number of years, and durinir ;

which time a number of arrests were made for minor offenses, such as assult and battery. According to the-

version of the affair as related by the

five prominent citizens interested in the V

case, Kappleman has ben, a continuous source of trouble since he has lived at

Lake Station, and Kappleman says that he was the most abused man that ever breathed. A few months ago Blaemire alleges that Kappleman threatened to shoot tiim and that .he was Known to ha3 carried concealed, a dangerous looking gun. Marshal Smith was asked to relieve him of tirts weapon as Blaemire said that he feared for .his life. As soon as Smith saw Kappleman he asked the, latter to deliver up the weapon, but instead of doing so he reached for his hip pocket and told the marshal to stand back.. Smith at once placed him under arrest.

Hun Detained In Jail. At the police tsation the prisoner was unable to furnish bond so Mr.

Stearns, whose residence wd nearby, was sent for and he was asked to

furnisli the bond. As Mr. Stearns had not been on friendly terms with Kappleman lie refused to do this, and the

defendant was detained in jail until the

his case came up for trial. Here he

pleaded guilty and was fined, the fine and costs amounting to $45. This h

was unable to pay, so he arranged to be taken to Crown Point, where he lived at that time and before he was put in tha county jail, secured the money with which to pay the-fine. He was then released. During the trial of tie case It is expected that the whole history of th small sized feud will be related by the participants. Among other things which will be brought out is the rynamitlng of Kappleman nouse which occured some time ago and the cause of which is unknown. Both sides charge, however, that the others know something about it. In the complaint filed by Bruce & Bruce, the attorneys, there are five

paragraphs in which the charges of

false imprisonment, threatening to hang, treat to extort money, and two of assult and battery are made. The

five men are being defended by At

torneys r etterer and nail oi oary.
