An accident which occured over a year ago, when he was struck over the head with a baseball bat, proved fatal
I to n-ycar-oti rcaipn Ausigen at Han
hospital, South Chicago, this
morning. The boy passed away at 12:30 o'clock. He is the nephew of Chief of Police Peter Austgen of Hammond and his father, Frank Austgen, of Houth Chicago, is a weil known business man. Chief Austgen received the news of the death of his nephew early this mnrninif. Funeral services will be held Sunday morning at South Chicago and thf remrlns will be brought to St. Joseph's cemetery at Hammond for burial. Love for out-door sports took young Austgen out to the commons at South Chicago one dav last summer and it
I was while he was witnessing a ball game that the accident occurred. He
i was sitting near the home plate when j J a young man made a terrific swing ati j the ball. The htavy bat flew out of the; I young man's hand, the large end of it I
striking Austgen on the side of the I forehead and causing a fracture of the '
skull. j He was at ome removed to a South j Chicago hospital, where it was found '
that several pieces of small bone had lodged In the boy's brain. A critical
operation was then performed and af- I ter several weeks of intense suffering, j during which time he battled with : death, he improved enough to enable him to he up and around. At various j limes during the past year, he was j taken suddenly ill. and last Monday, suffered a relapse. An examination of! his skull by X-ray was taken and it! was found that a bone was pressing j on his brain, but with his lingering illness and severe case, he passed away ' this morning at 12:30 a. m. !
Three Gary negroes of varying shades of black were arraigned before Judge Lawrence Becker in Room No. 2 of the Lake superior court thiB morning and pleaded not guilty to the charge of murder. They were: Obelia Smith, charged with the murder of Klizabeth Smith on the sixth of July, 1912. !. W. C. Regand. charged with the
murder of Ira Jenkins on the first of September, 1912. Moses Levi, charged with the murder of Robert Lavis on the seventeenth of July. 1912. All of the murders were committed with a revolver. The defendants' cases were all set over until next Monday to give them a chance to employ an attorney. Tn the event they do not make arrangements by that time the court will appoint the poor attorney to do the work. A smile went over the faces of the

Major K. M. Wosczynski and Miss Vrginia Brooks of West Hammond have bfien threatened with bombs If they do not desist in their efforts to clean up West Hammond. The mayor tore up the two letters he
got and threw them into the waste basket, and Mjss Vrginia Brooks put a little sachet pott der on tier's and placed it in tbe collection of relics that she is making. Miss Brooks is now concerning herself for fear that the jury in the coroner's inquest whieh is to return its verdict in the Messmaker case at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, is packed. She has heard of remarks that some of the jurors have made to the effect that a verdict of "suicide" will be returned. Miss Brooks says that there Is absolutely no evidence of suicide. The verdict Is important, for the reason that if it is shown that Messmaker came by hi.s death through the negligence (criminal or otherwise) of Henry Fii.iS. his bondsmen will be liable for heavy damages. Coroner Hoffman is said to be greatly concerned about the reported verdict that is to be returned by this body. It is feared that tome of the interested persons have gotten to the jury. There are any number of reasons why a lot of West Hammond people would dislike to see the coroner's jury tell the real facts about the death of Messmaker. That is why Coroner Hoffman and Mis Brooks are &i concerned about the matter. Ignatius Mankowski. the clerk of the,
