FATAL STREET AFFRAY.
Contest for Il Fortune Ends in a Murde
on n Chicapo Street

Contest for u Fortune Ends in a Murder
on.a Chicago Street.
CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-To-night fatal street
affray between brothers-in-law ended a re-
markable contest for the possession of a
fortune of 100000. The contest thus ended
in a tragedy began with an elopement.
Alfred Richner several years ago was the
husband of a noted brothel keeper. Not
withstanding his marital relations and his
unsavory record, Richner succeeded in clam
destinely working himself into the good
graces of the daughter of wealthy -four
and feed dealer named Kessler. Upon Mr.
Kessler's death the daughter, who seems to
have been little simple-minded, disclosed
her attachment for Richner. The instant
opposition of the family to any recognition
Of that worthy resulted i'll the prompt
elopement Of the couple to Montreal.
Richner later went through the form of
obtaining a divorce from the brothel keep
er and having his marriage with Miss Kess-
Ter legalized. They returned to Chicago
and teud was soon engendered between
Richner and his new wiie's brother.
Recently, it is said, RichDer, failing in
his efforts to get at the kessler patrimony,
has threatened to kill every member of the
family. Tonight he met young Kessler on
State street and attacked him with a cane
Kessler drew revolver and rapidly fired
three shots. Two were stopped by Rich
ner's watch. At the third he dropped

bullets into his sisters husband while the
latter was PROSTATE. The shooting took
place in a crowded part of State street. and
Tor few moments caused a wild stampede

JUVENILE CRUSADERS.
Nine Thousand Girls Under Years Ola
Went to Free Jerusalem i'm 1919.

The term dark ages" is somewhat
vaguely applied to that period follow.
ing the fall of the Roman empire ana
preceding the revival of letters in the
fourteenth century. In alluding to the
dark ages, however, as a general rule,
says the st. Louis Republic, we have in
mind the period of the crusades to the
orient for the liberation of the Chris
: tians and the holy sepulcher. In 1913
Peter tniiG Hermit made a pilgrimage
to Jerusalem, where he oppression he
witnessed caused him to resolve to free
Christ's people and the relics so dear dear
to the Christian people. Peter led the
first host of the crusade in person;
other bands soon followed.
In all it has been estimated that not
less than 1000 600 of human lives were
lost in this wild attempt to keep the
pagans out of Jerusalem. In the year
1912 the crusades took different turn;
children were drawn into the move
ment. In the early summer of the
year named two immense armies of
children were gathered in France and
Germany in response to the call of two
boy prophets, neither of whom was
over II years of age. These youthful
leaders believed, or affected to believe,
themselves the chosen of God. and that
it was their duty to lead these chill
dren through the Mediterranean, like
Moses had led the children of Israel
through the Red sea.
The excitement caused by the work
ings of these boy preachers spread like
a plague; whole families of children
joined the hosts already organized; no
amount OF remonstrance on the part of
the parents could check the epidemic
in the least. Children who were
locked up to keep them from going on
this tramp of death died in convulsions
or lost their minds in hopeless melan-
choly. The first great host of children
left for the Holy Land under the lead
erShip of Nicholas of Cologne; the Sec
Ond band under the leadership of a
boy whose name is unknown.
The combined number of these two
armies was $4,000, about 5000 being
girls under s years of age. IL the
same month another army left France
under the guardianship of Stephen of
Vendome. This army numbered not
less than 10000. The first two lcgious
crossed the Alps-Nicholas at Mount
Gents and the unknown leader at St.
Gothard-and descended into Italy.
The combined armies of Nicholas and
his unknown ally lost not less than 49,

children which the fanaticism of the
age allowed to join the crusade less
than 10000 returned to their native
! land alive.

WORK OF A WOMAN.
The Ex-Wife of a LiVeryman
Charged With Burning
Her Husbands Barn.
An Affidavit by a Young Girl
Who Claims That Her
MOtherWas Implicated.

LUVERNE, Special Telegram, Sept. 23.-
Luyerne is all torn up by sensation of con-
siderable magnitude.
Last winter the livery barn of John Cam
eron was destroyed by fire. The blaze oc-
Cured early in the morning and thirteen
horses perished i'll the flames with num-
Der of buggies, harnesses and other valua-
Bile property consumed. The fire was evil
IDENTIFY of incendiary origin, out no positive
clue that would lead to the Identification OF
thererpetrator OF the deed could be discov-
cred.
Cameron and his wife, who have since
been divorced, were on bad terms, however,
and, though she was not III Luverne at the
time, suspicion attached to her sister, Mrs.
Freeman, a widow who lived opposite the
barn. The matter was Investigated quietly,
but no proofs could be adduced and the
matter was apparently dropped.
Cameron has never ceased working on
the case, however, and Friday he sprung
his sensation. A girl named Mary Owens,
who lived with her mother near Mrs.
Freeman at the time of the fire, went
before Squire p. Z. Brown, and made affi-
davit that her mother, Mrs. Owens, and
Mrs. Freeman had set the fire. The affida-
Wit has not yet been made public, but it Is
understood that it duplicates Cameron's ex-
wife as the instigator Of the crime. Public
opinion is somewhat divided on the sub
ject, as the Owens girl has been guilty OF
some very erratic behavior for some time
past. Her latest freak occurred a couple OF
weeks ago, when she purchased a suit OF
boys clothes and made several trips to sur
rounding towns wearing the male apparel.
MISS WILLOUGHBY ARRESTED.
County Attorney Garfield, after consider
ing the affidavit made by Miss Owens, had
Miss Willoughby, the ex-Mrs Cameron,
arrested, and a preliminary examination,
which lasted all the afternoon, was begun
be ore Justice Barck. The Owens girl, who
is about seventeen years old, tells a story
straightforward in all details, but with a
cold -blOOdedness that equals or eXcels the
evidence OF the famous Freddy Barrett"
She claims to have heard her mother and
Miss Wi.loughby arrange the details of the
arson for which her mother was to receive
sum OF money, and that on the night Oi
the fire her mother was absent from the
house She was marvelously selfpOssessed
and eyinced absolutely no emotion, even
prompting the county attorney with queS-
tions with which to bring out weak points
in her mothers testimony.
The latter enters general denial of all
the details of the charge. The defense
claims that the whole story has been coll'
cocted by the daughter in revenge for hav'
ing her madcap plans for leaving home
thwarted by her mother. No evidence has
| been introduced duplicating Mrs Freeman
Miss Wiloughby's sister. The examina'
| ton will be continued tomorrow.

STOPPED THE FIGHT.
SIavin and McAuliffe. Placed Under Ar.
rest In London.

LONDON, Sept. 23.-Slavin and McAuliffc
have been arrested. AcAuliffe was arrested
at his lodgings In this city, and Slavin was
arrested on his arrival from his training
quarters at Dover. They were arraigned i'm
court this afternoon on the charge of con-
spring to commit a breach of the peace,
and bound over in $4,000 each to appear
before the court to- morrow.
In court the police inspector, justifying
the arrests, said the match was not to be a
mere boxing contest, but genuine prize
fight. The secretary of the 0rmonde club
deposed that the gloves were ordinary box
ing gloves; that the contest was to be
strictly in accordance with Queensbury
rules; that no breach of the law was in
tended. and that the police had been duly
apprised of the match. He said the police
had been incited to make the arrest by
jealous enemies of the Ormonde club. The
magistrate directed the police to procure
the gloves before finally deciding on the
ilIegality OF the fight.
meeting of those interested in the
Slavin- McAuliffe fight was held at the Or
monde club this eYeningy~W when 1t was re-
solved in the event of the courts giving a.
adverse decision the match should be de-
cided abroad.
McAuliffe's hackers declare that Slavin,
knowing that he was not in proper training
to fight tonight allowed the time OF the
proposed contest to become known to tn
police. 1t is suspected by many. however,
that the Pelican club set the machinery of
the law in motion, in revenge for SlaYin's
refusal to fight i'll the clubs rooms. the
pOstpOnement of the affair has profoundly
dlSguSted the sporting fraternity.

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
BenweIls Alleged Murderer on Trial for
His Life.

His Life.
WooDsToCK, Ont, Sept. 23.-The some
what famous Birchall- Benwell murder case
was begun here to-day. Newspaper men
and lawyers from all over Canada and
many from the United States were present.
Birchall showed no signs of tremor and
pleaded not guilty in firm voice. 1t took
less than an hour to secure jury, alter
which Mr.. Osler counsel for the crown,
made the opening address. There was moth
ing new in his statement of facts, but the
chain of evidence on his side was closely
forged: making out very strong case. He
dweIt upon the prisoners career of deceit
in Woodstock in 1883, when he was known
as Lord Somerset. A letter which Birchall
wrote to Benwell's father. telling him to
place money in their joint hands, the coun-
sci said showed a motive for the murder.
William Mcdonald testified that he had
known Birchall as f. A. Somerset. D. r.
Polly, young Englishman who accom-
panied the Birchall- Benwell party to Amer
ica. told of being swindled by Birchall.
He had identified Benwell's body and iden-
tified clothes of Birchall and Benwell pro-
duced in evidence. His examination was
not concluded.
