Who Olal d He Had Been Teas- ed an Robbed, Wounds Thomas Silk-Lalier’s Life Saved by Charles Pickering fl“..— Charles Berger, an excitable Ger- man, better known as “Dutch Char- ley,” who has for some time been in the employ of Alphonso A. Raymund, Jr., of Brookslde, is in the South Nor.- walk lockup, charged with, assault with intent to kill, committed on the person of Thomas Silk, who Is in the employ of‘ McFarland db Pickering. the Roton Hill ice dealers. Silk Is confined to his home on the Spring Hill road. with a,bullet hole half an Incli In diameter, through his groin. Fatal results were escaped in an almost"miraculous manner, as Ber- ger shot at him five times with a. .38 caliber revolver, only one of the bul- lets taking effect. The general opinion among those who are conversant of the facts, of the case, seems to be that Berger is not any too strongly equipped In his men- tal department, and that having been made a sort of a butt for all jokes of the men with whom he was thrown in contact, lost patience after a cer. tain amount of teasing and shot to kill. For some time be has been at odds with the rest of humanity. He has been known to chase boys about Springwood with a revolver and a knife, but he was always supposed to be harmless. ' On another occasion he accused some men of taking his money away from him, but the other side of the story Is that he became drunk and spent it. Yesterday morning he wastalking with Charles. Rickani ~ n can of Har- ry Pickering, 0! that ,. of ice deal- ers, and the German timed to be In‘ a friendly and pleasant‘imood.‘ He pre- sented him with a handful of .3! call- ber cartridges, saying that he had no use for them. ~ ln-the after n he mot- Silk and threatened to s not him, claiihingthat. he. had taken some money from him. This was due to the fact that when Berger had returned to his home, which is a small shanty at the rear of the Ice ponds, in what are known as Keeler's woods, he had found it broken open and looted, and he blam~ ed Silk for It. When he met Silk on the read he threatened to kill him, but did not make any effort to draw the revolver. Silk drove along With his load of ice. When he had deliv- ered It be returned,and put up his horse. .’ ~. He was walking along the road and had just reached the..Willis place. when Berger spied him. Berger had been in the Willis house and they had just succeeded inlay-lying him out, when Silk came along“ When within about twenty feet'kif‘ Silk. Berger whipped the revolver out of his shirt front and fired. He pulled the trigger five times al— together, emptying the revolver. One of the first shots fired stiuck Silk. telling him to the ground. Berger continued to fire while,Silk lay in the road. He then ejected the empty shells and coolly reloaded the wea- pon. He. was just about to fire again. when Charles Pickering, who In about seventeen years old, who was with Silk, picked up a good-sized stone and threw it at Berger, w.tli such, true aim that it knocked the revolver out of the would-be murderer's hand. Berger was then frightened away, and persons from the neighborhood rushed to the scene. Word was im- mediately sent to the Elm Grove store. and Samuel Sample notified Of- ficer Walter Hall, who received the notification at 0 o'clock. lie at once hitched up a horse and drove to the scene of the trouble, arresting Berger at 0:15. Berger made no resistance, turned over the loaded revolver to the oillcer and went to the station house with him. He admitted having shot Silk. but claimed that Silk had rob- be& him and bothered him. ‘ ad It not been for the plucky ac- tion of the Pickering boy. undoubted- ly Berger would hays killed Silk with the other cartridges. When searched it was found that he still had fifteen cartridges In his pocket. This morning, the case came up in the town court. and evils continued un- til tomorrow morning for the purpose of summoning witnesses. Stillman taken to his home, after being treated by Dr. Lauren M.

Repre- sentative Klngsbury. of Coventry, said that In behalf of his constituents, he would be obliged to oppose any re— duction In the length of time in which freight. cars may be unloaded until the railroad company delivered freigho promptly. Representative Patten. of Stafford. said that If the legislature saw fit to change the present law It would only be fair on the part of the rail- road to make rebates in the event of cars being unloaded before the stipu- lated time. r Representative Burrows. of Man- chester. said that nearly every hier- cliani in his town had asked him to oppose any change In the law. They had to pay deuiurrage nearly all of them by reason of the railroads poor shipping facilities. Representative Parker, of East Had- ilam, spoke in a similar vein. James L. Cowles, of Farmington. ad— dressed the members. He said he had recently attended the railway cons grass at Washington. Freight cars of the country work only two hours in the day. he declared. If he was a chamber of the legislature 'he would say to the railroad company that If It had more use for its cars, the people wanted lower freight rates. If the laws were changed the people of the state should receive the benefit and not the. railroad. The whole matter. lic held, should be determined by flou- gruss. The principle of the railroad, he said, was to exact all that the frat“ fir. would bear and it “was a shame that siiolra condition should exist.

May 23.-—The teamsters’ strike today threatened to assume pro— portions that will render a call for troops necessary. and at the same time new hopes of a peaceful settle- ment have developed. While the strike grows, peace Is once more in the balance. The express companies seem to hold the key to the situation, but hopes based on these companies may be elusive. for In spite of many ru- mors to the contrary. the emphatic statement is made that they will not yield an inch. The striking express drivers may get their old places after the strike Is settled, but the stand of the Chi- cago agents, backed without exception by the general officials of the com- panies, Ia against making any prom- Ises In advance. The agents of the. express compen- Ies were expected to be represented at an adjourned conference between the employers and the teamsters, which was scheduled for today. Attorney Mayer was the only rep— resentative of the former at the meet- Ing last night and if the express agents meet the strike leaders today it will be for the first time since has- tilltibs began. Their prospective pres~ ence presents another hopeful sign to the optimistic. . The Board of Education has determ lned, to resort to stringent methods to prevent further strike demonstra- tions in connection with the public schools. All pupils attempting to induce oth- er pupils .to boycott the public schools are to be arrested, while." tilts seekv ing to incite trouble at“, a” ichools are to be locked up. - . Fifteen boys. arrested by truant of- ficers, will be arraigned In the java. nile court today. They Ill'e charged with attempting to get school child an to go out on strike trouble at the schob tended. Widening of the breach between lumbar dealers .ziiid drivers algnalized a continuance of aggressive feeling on both sides today in the teanioters' strike. Renewal of orders to deliver ma- terial to boycotted establishments was pushed vigorously by the lumber deal- ers notwithstanding invariable prev- ions experience that such orders would be met by refusal on the. part of the drivers. Equally determined. the team- sters showed no sign of wavering. al- though fnccd by a certainty that dis— charge WOUIii follow and that their fellow employee would Inevitably be involved in the general strike. One after another, three additional lumber companies were drawn Into the strug- gle today and the prospect of stoppage of all building construction In Chi- cago came closer to reality.
