A Murderous Lunatic Killed.

For two days a large force of Hammond, Gary and Whiting police had been trying to kill or capturd a man named Julius Polinski, who had gone insane from sickness, or from too much medicine of his own concocting, and was terrorizing a whole region around Pine Station, east of Hammond. After he had shot and more or less severely wounded six different per sons, he was finally himself shot .and killed by Policeman Hanlon, of Hammond. None of those he shot are dangerously wOunded/ the reports that one of them, Policeman Chambers, ot Hammond, was fatally wounded, being a mistake.
