STARTER CHM SHOT.

Well-Known Horseman Probably Fatally
Wounded at the East st. Louis Track.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 15.-Col. John Chlnn,
starter at the East st. Louis Jockey Club
track. was shot. and it is believed fatally
wounded this afternoon by CAPTAIN ID. d.
Anthony, captain of the track police force.
Some time ago Ed Corrlgan was at loss to
secure q person who could get tho fields
away in anything like respectable order
and asked the officials of the East st. Louis
track to allow Mr.. Chinn to officiate for
them for time, Chinn being under con-
tract with the East st. Louis people,
which contract does not expire until next
summer. The East st. Louis people con-
sented to the arrangement and installed
Kit, son of the famous starter, at the post
and for time, while the fields
were small. he did very well.
When the Madison track closed all
the horses that had been attending that
meeting came over to East st. Louis and
made the fields there SO large as To make it
a big matter TO get them away IN good
shape. and considerable diasati sfaction
was expressed by patrons on this account.
The managers OF the East st. Louis track
recalled Chinn. much to the latters dislike.
His work yesterday was not of kind TO
grow enthusiastic over. Three horses were
left at the post in many different races
and the starts in all were anything but
good. Lillian, who was left at the post in
the fourth race. was quite heavily played
and muttered oaths were plenty.
Last night the directors of the club held
meeting and it was decided tosusp end
CHM indefinitely. This morning Chinn
began drinking heavily and by noon was
in a very much intoxicated condition.
When Secretary Sinclair presented Chinn
with his discharge. Chinn said that IL he
did not start tho horses no ono else would.

Mrs. Bristow's Claim Against the Estate Of
Mrs. Peck Compromised.
A compromise in the claim of Mrs Cor
della Bristow against the estate Of Mrs.
Mary A. Peck has at last been reached,
the heirs of the estate agreeing to pay her
SIC. 900 in settlement of the claim of $50. $50.
which she said was due for twenty eight
years services as housekeeper. In 1854 DR.
Edwin J. Peck and wife went to board
with Mrs. Bristow. They lived with her
for some time and finally built
them home. Mrs. Bristow went
with them when they moved into the
new home and continued to act as their
b0usekeeper. DR.. Peck frequently during
his lifetime had said that he intended to
provide for Mrs. Brietow In his will, but
when that instrument was pr0bated. after
his DEATH it was found that be had made
no provision for her. The estate, valued at
100000. was divided among his heirs and
several liberal requests made to benevolent
institutions. Mrs. Peck, during her life
often expressed her intention of carry
ing ont the plans of her hus-
her will, but like him failed to do 90. Mrs.
Peck's estate was valued at Sl50.OOO, which
had been partially distributed. but the
claim of Mrs. Bristow prevented q final
distribution of all the effects aud the
legatees made the proposition for com.
promise which was accepted.
Mrs. Bristow yesterday received check
for $4,000, q settlement in full of her claim
against the estate.

A GREAT BUNCOIST.
"Bsn" Blanchard's Cheyenne Scheme RECALL
His Exploits in Indiana

Readers of the Journal Will have noticed
In yesterdays paper dispatch from
Cheyenne. Wyo., to the effect that BEN
Blanchard had tried TO bunco that city
out of $780, coo by claiming to represent an
Eastern syndicate anxious to build half.
million.dollar smelter.
Interest in the matter was intensified by
the report from Chicago that Blanchard
had recently fleeced business men of that
city and Indianapolis and. on the point OF
being detected. had fled to Mexico disguised
as woman. There seems upon investiga.
ton to be but little foundation for this
wild-eyed rumor, but Blanchard, who
formerly lived at Terre Haute. did. at one
time, try to interest several manufacturers
of this city in some chmerical enterprise.
Being aware of his previous record his
scheme did not meet with favor, and be
went West. operating first in Kansas. He
is now supposed to be in Hutchinson, Kan.
