Ihe shooting was the result of a quarrel between the two men. The affair occurred in Wunderlich’s place of business.

Three shots took effect—one in the breast, one in the abdomen and one in the stomach After Wunderlich had been shot he made for Brick and cut bis scalp open with a billy. Wunderlich may recover Brick was placed in jail, but his counsel. Attorney J. G. Orr, has secured the release of his client on $5,000 bail. Buy Em Now An exchange Shoes are going up, Winter footwear \uih inert used in print* and in some cases 20 pr cent. Customers kick, but the boot and shoe' men can’t help if. They say it isn’t their fault. In fact, they say the rise in leather has cut their profits as much ns it has raised the price of the goods. Shoes—especially in the cheaper grades—artt from fifty cents ton dollar higher this year than last year. Ihe rise in prices is partially the result of ' a scarcity in leather, but mostly the result of the manipulations of the leather trust.

At, present it is but a creek. lor the first time in nearly fifty years it, is possible to cross the river in a vehicle, and it it were not for the quicksands a man could easily’ wade across, for there is not water deep enough to reach a man’s knees. An immense acreage bordering the river will become tillable. The Kankakee river and marshes, which have been famous hunting grounds, promise to lose their glory for all time to come. In Lake, Porter and LaPorte counties, speculators in realty are purchasing immense tracts of swamp land, which in years past was covered by waler.
