An unknown, assassin attempted to take the life of Joseph Folito, a' fruit dealer, residing at 702 South Hohman street, IJammond, early this morning. The daring attempt 'to kill Pollto was ing some fruit. " Creeping up .to the wagon through- the ' darkness, the . assassin leveled the weapon at Polito and shot twice in succession. Pollto heard the shot and for a moment did not know he; had been wounded until he felt a sharp pain in his arm. RUN DOWN BY AUTO. A lucky accident ocenrred at the corner of .Hohman and Fayette street yesterday when Frank -Oinpek, 13429 Erie avenue, Hegewisch, collided with Dr. W. - D. WeisJ automobile and was thrown from his bicycle. Although Oinpek escaped without a scratch the auto ran over the bicycle, bending It into an unrecognizable mass of Junk. According to those who witnessed the accident Dr. Wels was not to blame. CALIFORNIA WOMAN 1 IN SUFFRAGE FIGHT Mrs. William Kemt.

He fired three shots at the man, but the assassin eluded him in the darkness, f He then went back to the storehouse at 110 Plummer avenue, where Dr. Weis was summoned and dressed the painful wound. The ' police were notified, but upon a close search no trace of the assassin; was found. Polito was not certain whether the shots he fired took effect or not. The shooting-5 was witnessed by'A'Lushearn, a Michigan Central towerman. The shooting , has so far! proven a? mystery to the police and recalls the attempted assassination , of; .another Italian fruit dealer neany a ;year ago. Polito stated that he has received no threatening, .letters and did. not know he had made any enemies. Bankruptcy Referee Harry Sheridan, who will hold a session in Hammond on Feb. 11, beginning at 10 o'clock, will take up five bankruptcy cases, the largest number that have recently developed in one month In this region. Attorneys McMabon & Conroy, representing Anton YukI of Gary, a groceryman, have filed proceedings in which liabilities of $960 have just.been listed. The assets are claimed as exempt."

" Clifford A. Garball of Lowell, represented by J. Will Belshaw.Ihas failed for $1,770. The interesting ifact about this failure is the fact that the failed is a plumber by trade.

The work on the new building which Gostlin. Meyn & Co. are erecting on the Nickel Plate property is progressing satisfactorily. This building - Is about ready for occupancy. The workingmen are also taking advantage of the noen winter to complete the slate roofing on the new St. Joseph's Cathollce church, which is being .erected- on South Hohman street. Other smaller building operations are being carried on as though there was no closed building season and the result Is that the men employed in the building trades have been pretty generally employed.
