The Lake Shore road has been peculiarly unfortunate this week. On
Monday, while a freight train was pass over a switch at Mishawaka, the

the main track while the balance were on the switch. Tuesday a similar
accident occurred at South Bend. The loss to rolling stock is quite
large.
Last Tuesday warrants were sworn out against David Wolf, Shag Moynehan,
Dau Moynehan and _______Tillepaugh for creating a riot at the saloon of
Charles Gabel on December 7th. The defendants had created a disturbance
nearly all day at the saloon, and made a nuisance of themselves general.
Dave Wolf was drunk, and indulged in his well known methods of playing
the desperado. The rest of the crowd were his aiders and admirers. The
trial was by jury. On Tuesday evening about 9 o'clock the machinery of
the law was set in motion, Jno. C. Coulter, for the prosecution and John
Taylor for the defense. At 10 o'clock the case was given to the jury,
who after remaining out until half past four, the next morning, were
discharged by the court, because of inability to agree. The first
ballot taken was 8 for convictions and 4 for acquittal. The following
ballot was 9 for conviction and 3 for acquittal.
