Conviction was not based on the Shots fired at Schlauder's car but more on the fact that Hamlin had accidelltly struck a passing motorist, LAKE COUNTY INDEPENDENT . fak FOUR BALLOTS AT |"* it TO 1 WAS WAY | .

In a previous attempt, his brother, Frank 1. m\er of city is said to have saved the'life of the young man by wresting a revolver from his hand. That the act had been premeditated for some time has Bbeen dieclosed by the fact that the young man arranged a day or' two ago'to borrow a re volver from Harold Hofftan, of Lake Bluff, also employed at the academy.

After calling at the Independen* office in Libertyville at 8:30 Friday morning, to have our address Caanged to Lynn Haven, Fla., so that we might not miss any of the happenings in Lake county, we followed Route 21 to Desplaines and then over the River road south until we crossed over and got on No. 1 (Dixie Higaway), and followed it to Westville, below Dan-- ville where we went into camp behind a filling station. We found everything necessary for a good camping place. And it rained all night. But about day-- light we started on again, and Satur-- day night found us about 40 miles north of Louisvilie, Ky. We followed Ind. 50 from Vincenn>s to Paoli, and there were detoured around some construction work on the Dixie to Hardinburg. The detour was up 'and down hill,; as well as round about them--hard surfaced, but very narrow, But as it was raining all day, we did not meet anyone on that stretch. s Sunday morning we ran into Louis-- ville, where my wife visited her sister for a;few hbours, and then we ran the 48 miles to this town, over very good paved higiway. v!:rmphmuip.m.,theweather gives promis> of a fair day ahead, and they tell us that the roads to Nashvilie are good by way of Bowling Green on the Dixie, then cross over to the Jack-- son Highway at Scottsville, and into Nashville over that. : We do not sse so many on the way to Florida as usual, but still there are some going all tie time. Almost every one asks us if we are not afraid to go down there after the hurricane for-- gotting that Florida is a big state, and that it blows things to pieces even in Illinois sometimes. ~ The roads are better each year we pass over them from'the time we went the same route before.
