Fearful Results of the Attempt to Close
Garfield Park Track at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Racing at Garfield
Park has terminated in tragedy dread
full enough to shock both contesting fac
lions in the fight. Three mems lives
paid the forfeit of the effort to suppress
racing on the track. James M. Brown,
the horseman, was instantly killed and
Officer John Powell shared like fate.
Officer Henry Mcdowell was MORALLY
wounded, and the surgeons say he can
scarcely survive the night. The triple
shooting was sequel to the daily raid
on the race track. Brown was standing
on the roof of the stables at the extreme
south end of the course when his arrest
was attempted. Three officers clam
bered to the roof and Brown, drawing a
revolver, warned them off. He was
ordered to surrender, but refused, and
pointing his weapon at the policemen
began to back toward the edge of the
roof. One of the policemen fired shot
in the air and Brown made wild leap
from the roof, landing inside the
grounds Officers Mcdowell and Powell
followed in close pursuit. He ran
across the prairie to Harrison street,
where brick building was in course Of
construction. Here Powell overlook
him and reached out to grasp him by
the sleeve. Turning squarely around,
Brown, who still grasped his revolver
in his right hand, raised the weapon and
fired point blank at the policeman. The
bullet struck the officer in the mouth
and he fell dead. Then Brown started
to run east on Harrison and encountered
Officer Mcdowell. Both men raised
their weapons and fired simultaneously.
Mcdowell staggered few feet forward
and then fell across the sidewalk. Brown
ran west and stopped to fire again at
the PROSTATE body of Officer Powell.
He met Officer William Jones and both
men raised their revolvers and Brown
pulled the trigger of his weapon but no
explosion followed. Jones had by this
time taken aim at the horseman and
fired. Brown sprang into the air and
uttered sharp cry. He staggered a
moment and then turning ran into the
areaway between two buildings where
he was found dead shortly after. Three
bullets were found in his body, showing
that he had been wounded early in the
fight.
