LAWLESS CHICAGO
THE GUNMEN STILL BUSY. A LIEUTENANT ASSASSINATED. (Pree» Association —By Telegraph—Copyright.) CniOAGO, March 8. Despite the fact that 100,000 citizens gathered last night for special church services dedicated to praying that this “ city may be purged of vice and corruption," gunmen are continuing their warfare. Three men, armed with revolvers and a machine gun, fatally wounded Jack M'Gurn, chief lieutenant of the Scarface Caponic forces, near a flower show, where the assassination of Dean Obanion began a long list of gang war deaths three years ago. The shooting occurred at a gambling resort. One bystander was wounded. The men who did the shooting escaped. —A. and N.Z. Cable.
