Betting All in Favor of the Latter in
Tonight's Contest.
BIZ ue Associated Pres.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 26.-The city is fill
ing up with visiting sportsmen from all
over the country, and betting on the re-
suit OF the Smith Ryan contest, which
takes place tonight, is becoming quite
lively. Bets Of all kinds are being made
on the odds favoring Ryan.
1t is certain that no two men entered
the ring in better condition than that in
which Ryan and Smith will be when they
get on the scales.
Both have been training for the past
four weeks and nc two men ever worked
harder to be fitted than they have. The
contest has q double interest ron the
fact that the men have met twice before
and draws have resulted in both cases.
That there Is to be no draw this
time is regarded certain. Both
the boxers are anxious to settle the
question of supremacy and this even 'ng
will fight to a finish. ALI Kennedy,
to win and it is probable that he will offer
TO back his opinion at the ringside for a
good bit of money.
Davenport, Ryan's manager, is carrying
around a big roll to go on Ryan and there
is likely to be a lively scene at the ring
side. Smith himself says that he cannot
lose. Ryan says little about what he
thinks, but he keeps up a shrewd guessing
on the rance IN his opinions are re-
Elected in,those OF the Chicago contingent.
The latter Is of the opinion to a man
that Ryan will be able To evade Smiths
rushing and whirlwind style OF attack
and that he will give the California boy
all the rushing he wants. Smith ran one
and three fourths OF a mile yesterday at a
brisk pace and finished the last 800 yards
at a fast pace without appearing in the
least winded. After taking a shower bath
and getting rubbed down, he weighed
exactly 1884 pounds.
"hank'' Seely will probably be the
referee. Ryan was jubilant last evening
over the fact that Joe Choynski would
arrive with the Chicago delegation this
of econds and will undoubtedly be in
Ryan's corner.
Dick O'Brien, who was recently defeated
by Joe Walcott, has challenged the win
ner OF tonight's contest.
The Omaha delegation will arrive today
and a crowd from New Orleans will be in
by this afternoon. A well known board
Of trade sport, who has received a COM
mission OF 5000 to bet on Ryan, was
around looking to place his money. He
was but fairly successful' as the Smith
people are holding back looking for odds.
Joe Davenport, Ryan's backar, has re-
ceived a telegram from Eastern parties
authorizing him to wager as much as his
judgemnt would permit on Ryan.
Sam Pooler, a great admirer OF the Chi
cago man, arrived this morning well
heeied with support for his fancy. IL now
appears that Ryan will be seconded by
Joe Choynski, Jimmy Murphy and Pro-
lessor Lewis, and George Davenport, his
hacker, will bold the watch for him.
Smith will AVE ALI Kennedy for chief
adviser and Billy Williams for time
keeper. His seconds will be Ton West,

has just returned after 40 years service.
The doctor, in speaking of the Chinese
Japan i~nbroglio, ssysss
The Chinese and Japanese are very
jealous OF each other az all times N this
jealously has doubtless much to do with
the bitterness OF their dispute over
Corean claims. Th" jealousy is
not ~unfounded = in many re-
spects, for Japan haf o~utstripped her
n~eighbor In point Of Western civilization,
while China on the other hand claims that
her civilization is higher and that she
would not exchange ~ for Western sle-
ments."
The two nations have much the same
feeling of rivalry towssd each other that
France and Garmany have. In Corea, the
Japanese have business interests INT
population, while China has political
suzerainty, which she Nill not ~relinquish
easily to Japan. The latter country is
evidently backed by Russia In the effort
to regain the political power in Corea,
which she has held in years gone by.

MURDERED FOUR.
Horrible Crime of a Divorced Hus-
band in California.


Los ANGELES, Cal, July 26.-J. o.
Craig, an ex-police officer, was the perpe-
traitor of a q%uadruple murder last night,
after which he made an attempt to Kill
himself, but failed. His victims were
his divorced wife, her father, mother
and brother. His motive for the crime
has not been definitely ascertained.
Craig. both as a family man and
officer, had the reputation OF being very
quarrelsome. His wife had secured a di-
vorce from hin on the ground of cruelty,
retaining possession of their three chill
dren, the eldest being but five years old.
This result Of the divorce proceedings
tended to max Craig more quarrelsome
than ever, and it is alleged that
he let nc opportunity pass to make 1t un-
pleasant for Mrs. Craig and her family,
whom he is supposed to have blamed for
the action brought against him.
About 5 O'Clock last evening Craig hired
a horse and buggy and drove to the house
of his divorced wife, situated in Corrilli-
tos Canyon, near Tropico, where
she lived with her uncle, brother and
three young children. Craig announced
that he was going there to see his chill
dren, yet ne was armed with two re-
volvers and had been drinking heavily
during the afternoon.
When he arrived at the home of his wife,
without warning he deliberately drew q
revolver and shot her dead. Her brother,
George Hunter, who was some distance
from the house when the shooting
occurred, rushed to the scene and Craig
shot him infiicting q wound which a
short time later proved fatal. He then
jumped into a buggy and drove rapidly to
the house of his fa~ther-in-law, William
Hunter, at Los Angeles.
Here he hitched his horse and without
any ceremony raj into the house, shot
and inatantly killed his father and
mothor-in-law. He then applied the pis-
toll to his own forehead and fired, but
only succeeded in inflictIng a slight flesh
wound. Two neighbors hearing the
shots, rushed in and disarmed Craig and
detained him until the arrival Of the
polio q.
Craig claims that his wife and her family
have frequently threatened his life and
that his shooting anticipated the fulfill
ment of this threat.

vented by scalding steam which
was turned on them by the

taliated by turning a steam OF water from
a hose upon the trainmen, and for a time
a riot was imminent. The engineer of
one the trains then chopped the hose. A
street car was run into the lowered gates
at the crossing. The police were
called and latter u. s. Marshal Strong
arrived on the scene. He demanded that
the freight trains be moved and they
were run off the crossing. The surface
men took advantage of the open track to
tear the planking up, but the second

DENVER, Col, July 26.-Six men have
been arrested for completely in the tarring
and feathering Of Adjutant General Tars-
ney at Colorado S~prings-three in this
arrests are to follow.
The prisoners here are John A. Reagan,
who was turnkey at the jail at Colorado
Springs on the night the outrage was
committed; his brother, Michael Reagan,
an ex-deputy sheriff OF FL Paso County,
don, who was one of Sheriff Bowers army
of deputies in the Bull Hill warfare.
Allen Is said to be the man who poked
the gun into General Tarsney's face at
the Alamo Hotel and applied the tar and
feathers to his person.
The three men arrested at Colorado
Springs are j. j. Mullin, son of a wealthy
Boston mine owner and a prominent So
ciety man Herman Rebbeke, who was a
deputy sheriff during the Cripple Cree
trouble. and Eugene Kinney, one of the
hackdrivers who took the party Of masked

1t is said that Chief OF Police Arm
strong of this city succeeded in unracel-
ling the plot against Tarsney, though
revelations are made by ex-Deputy Sheriff
Parker, of Ell Paso County. According
to his story, the plot was arranged
in the ante room OF the jail, and
Onuer-bneTlu boD Nuillns, ithueI Vi
the Cripple Creek force of deputies, was
the guiding spirit. j. Il. Mullins,
Parker says, furnished money AMI Reb-
beke bought the tar INT feathers. Parker
is sure the money changed hands In the
presence of Turnkey Reagan.
Parker saw Bob Mullins, j.. b. Mullins,
"Shorty" Allen, Herman Rebbeke and a
deputy named Wilson hire a hack and
drive toward the Alamo Hotel. II is
alleged that Reagan said that Sheriff
Bowers had a prisoner charged WITH muir
der out of Jail to participate in the out
rage.
Under-sheriff Mullins went on a trip to
Michigan and wilson to Ohio when the
grand jury convened, but they have been
located and it Is said their capture IL
certain.

Springs over the arrests, and Denver de-
t~ectives who have made them have beer
threatened with similar treatment to that
given General Tarsney.
The prisoners were taken away from
them by Sheriff Bowers n released on
bail.
