WOMAN SHOT IN
ARM BY PORTER
Mrs. Minnie Poindexter Victim of Bullet Fired by Hubbert Gossman.
Hubbert Gossman, a colored por-
ter employed at the Koppenhaver barber shop 404 S. Michigan st., who was arrested late Sunday night after having shot and painfully in-
jured Mrs. Minnie Poindexter, colored, was arraigned in city court Monday morning upon a charge of assault with intent to kill, Gossman pleaded not guilty and his case was set for next Saturday. Bond was placed at $1,000. About 8:15 o'clock in the evening Gossman and the Poindexter woman called the Swan garage for a taxi. According to Mr. Swan the two were quarreling when they got into the taxi. Shoots Woman in Arm.
When the cab arrived at 108 N. Walnut st., Gossman got out of the machine and is said to have called the woman names. When Swan attempted to interfere, Gossman drew two revolvers, pointed one at Swan, and with the other shot the Poindexter woman through the right arm. He escaped down an alley before the driver of the taxi could get him.
Mrs. Poindexter was hurried to Epworth hospital, where an exami-
nation showed that the bullet entered the fleshy part of the arm from the rear, and passed out in front just
under the arm-pit. Her condition was not thought to be serious at midnight. Search for Gossman was immediately started by the police, who acted on a description of the man furnished by Mrs. Poindexter. Patrol Serjeant Laskowski, Detective Pallo and Officers Wendowski and Stull guarded tho Koppenhaver barber shop from 1 o'clock on and finally arrested Gossman after a wait of two hours. Found Asleep in Chair.
At 11 o clock Wilson Koppenhaver, proprietor of the shop, was located and persuaded by the officers to unlock the shop in order that a search for Gossman might be made. The Negro was found asleep in one of the barber chairs, apparently too much intoxicated to know what was going on. At the police station he denied knowing anything about the shooting.
W. D. Osborn Wins First Prize For Best Essay
Although articles in the electrical contest kept coming in Saturday, under the conditions of the contest as announced in The News-Times,
only those letters which were mailed before midnight on Friday could be considered by the editors in selecting the winners. The first prize is awarded, largely because of the unique personal man-
ner in which the writer handled his subject, to W. D. Osborn, 427 Lamont ter. The second prize is awarded to Ella Prast, 331 W. Lasalle av., who wrote an interesting article on the economy and convenience of electricity, it's many uses in the home.
Third prize goes to J. J. McCaffrey, 719 E. Miner st., who pictured an electrical day, following a modern family through all the activities of an average day, and showing how
electricity was ever present as an
aid and a convenience.
Political Gossip. It is warming up politically all around South Bend and prospects are that St. Joseph county will feel the "hot air" rays of several candidates for state offices within a short time. James E. Watson spent the week-end at Warsaw, Ind., and spread tidings regarding his candidacy on the republican ticket for United States senator. Warren T. McCray, Kentland. candidate on the republican ticket for governor, sub-
ject, of course to the primaries,
March 7, appeared Saturday in Laporte, where he attended a meeting of the Laporte County Republican club. Considerable discussion followed the announcement of E. J. Twomey's

The service was held in accord-
ance with a general custom of the Elks whereby the first Sunday in December is set aside as memorial Sunday. The attendance at the service was such as to completely fill the auditorium of the temple. Bishop John Hazen White delivered the address. In addition to this there were musical numbers and the memorial ceremonies conducted by the exalted ruler, H. E. Freehafer, and other officers and members of the lodge. The departed members of the lodge were represented by electric lights arranged around an elk's head. During the ceremonies these
lights were extinguished one at a time as the names of the departed members were spoken. In his address Bishop White referred to the ceremony of extinguishing the lights, saying that such a ceremony was not properly significant of the departure of men from this world. Memorial services, he said, were made solemn, sad and impressive, whereas they should be made light and joyous as calling attention to the fact that those who have died have merely passed into a higher state of efficiency. The speaker suggested that the best memorial for departed members of the order would be to place the name of each where it could be seen by all and beneath it to make a record of the commendable things of that man's life. A record of the commendable actions in the lives of all would tell an impressive story and would remain a lasting lesson for Elks and all who read. Over the mistakes of men, he said, we should all place the mantle of char-
ity. The remainder of the program consisted of music by the St. Paul's Methodist choir and by the Ingersoll orchestra. The invocation and
benediction were pronounced by the Rev. Howard R. White.
Photo by McDonald. EDWARD J. TWOMEY chances, a doubt was expressed owing to the friendship he held with Tom Marshall. It was pointed out that this friendship, which Twomey will not deny, might have weight with powers much opposed to the vice-president. In discussing Fogarty's resignation, many held a desire to again become South Bend's mayor had led to the forecasted move from the prison city. Some, too, were of the opinion Fogarty would still be warden through the years and that a resignation would be far from forthcoming. Charles B. Landis, former congressman from the ninth Indiana district, was comparatively a poor man when he retired from public service. He had a little money and
borrowed some more, putting the
lump in DuPont Powder stock. His "meagre" holdings are now said to be worth $500.000 and the state
gossips ask "Why stay in congress?"
