SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March g.
The Santa Fe announces another cut
in rates. On the 8th inst. rate Of
$40 will be put into effect from Majave

BLOODY ELECTION FIGHT.
MUNICIPAL ELECTION AT TROY,
NEW YORK, VERY BITTER.
In a Row at an Election Robert Ross
Was Shot and Instantly Killed and
His Brother Fatally Wounded.

TROY, n. Y, March GA mayor
ives elected in this city today, but the
record of the election is spotted with
blood, and such scenes as the oldest
resident in Troy has no recollection OF
we're acted.
Among the watchers at the Twelfth
ward First precinct polling place was
Robert Ross and his brother William,
both of them being there in the inter
est of the Republican party. There
was also there well known character
bv the name Of Bat Shea. About
1:30 o'clock a gang Of at least a dozen
strangers stood waiting to vote.
but while men whose names were
ON the poll list, both Democrats AID
Republicans were crowded away.
Robert Ross objected 10 this, and had
some words with BAT" Shea. The
story told by the surviving Ross is
that bat" Shea is the man who killed
Robert Ross. They say that the
trouble began in polling booth.
When the vote was challenged the
men went outside, and Immediately
started an argument with the Roses.
Suddenly the crowd surged forward,
and in an instant revolvers were drawn
and shots fired. Robert Ross fell TO
the road way, and his brother William
cried, pm shot" Then the firing
ceased as suddenly as it had com
menced.
Before a surgeon could reach the
scene Robert Ross was dead. William
Ross was shot in the neck just below
the brain, and will probably die. John
McGough Is dangerously wounded,
while Shea's wound is not considered
serious.
John Ross said: 81 did not fire a pts
toll. 1t was murder, deliberate mur.
der, and it was premeditated. Only
about an hour and a half befoTe this
man Shea struck my brother full in
the face. dragged William away and
told him to take the blow. The blow
would not hurt him. | did not think

The Atchison Withdraws.

CHICAGO, March Gas predicted
yesterday, the Atchison road has with.

Association. 1t assigns as it's reasons
for withdrawing that the association
agreement affords it no protection,
and is failure as far as protection
against outside lines is concerned. In
its notice of withdrawal. in a sarcas-

clause of the ag cement works against
a feeble line like the Jacksonville

against a powerful line like the South

from the association does not carry
with it withdrawal from tie emigrant
clearing house of the Western Passen-
ger association. 1t will stand by the
clearing house for some time at least.
The association was in session when
the notice of withdrawal was received.
1t was informally discussed but no
action was taken, the general opinion
being that the lines should stand by
the association for at least short
time. All the members admit, how
ever, that the usefulness of the associ-
alton will be generally impaired.

WILL REORGANIZE,
The Old Chatauqua Association Will Step
Out and New One Will Arise.

Uut ana New Une WILL Arise.
The Chatauqua association which
owns quite an extensive plot of ground
upon the river will shortly pass into
history, and in it's place will bob up
new and more active corporation. In
other words, it is intended to place
the Chatauqua in the hands of an en-
tirely new board of managers not in
any way connected with the old Cha
tauqua association, for the purpose of
putting the association more promin-
emily to the front. Arrangements
looking to elimination of this
scheme are now getting in good work
ing order. An entirely new charter
will be drafted and filed, and the old
one done away with. A new board of
directors will be placed in charge and
everything will be made to hum.
There has been $4,000 paid on these
grounds in the way of fixing up and
80 forth up to the present time. The
new management will now assume
control of the association not owing
cent. Being relieved of the yoke that
oppressed the old company, they will
ever work orthe betterment of the
association and will aim 20 put it in
the front ranks of such Institutions
situated on our beautiful lake and
backed by business enterprise there il
no reason why the summer CHATEAU
quas that the association intends to
hold yearly should not be the great
est institution of their kind in the
south. 1t is the purpose of the asso-
citation to make them so and for that
reason reorganization is now being
effected.

HAYWARD NOT AFRAID.

Feeling in Minneapolis runs stronger
against Harry Hayward than against
Claus BliXt, who is commonly regarded
as a poor, miserable tool, who was
twisted and turned to suit the fancy of
the murderouS plotter. The talk Of
lynching was louder yesterday than on
the previous day, as Hayward's other
misdeeds came more clearly to
light, but no one thinks there will
be any effort made 10 tear Hayward
from the Ramsey county jail. 1t would
require a score of nervy leaders to
organize mob. and by the time the
mob reached this city the officials woul
have Hay ward miles away from the
scene. There has been talk of lynching
right here in 81. t.Paul, but the authorities
view it with diSdain, and speak cOnti-
dently in the belief that nothing of the
kind will be attempted. The Ramsey
county Jail is not a formidable fortress
by any means. and it would not require
hard work to force the doors. Only a
thin sheet-iron door separates the pris-
on from the hallway leading into the
front building, and only an ordinary door
separates this hallway from the outside
world. Unless the jail were guarded
O1 a. OtAOlS VI OlDCClO llIC lliOU
would have little difficulty in getting at
the prisoner. 1t is regarded as a pc
culiar proceeding to bring Hayward
here and place him in such a tlimSy
structure when the prison at Mnneap-
oils was built to withstand any attack
that might be made upon it. The au-
thorities believe that if any attempt
were made to lynch Hayward it would
be engineered solely by Minneapolis
people, and they say that before any
mob could reach here from Minneap-
OILS they would have ample opportunity
to remove Hayward from their reach.
Hayward himself seems to fear moth
ing, and when the subject of lynching
was mentioned he only smiled, and
said:
"They will never lynch me. didn't
have anything to do with the murder of
Catherine Cling, and you VIII all find it

ERICKsON Is HAPPY,

Inspector Stavalo sent telegram to
Superintendent of Police Smith yester-
day from Iowa Falls, stating that he
had in his possession proof that Ole
Erickson hsd nothing to do with the
Catherine Cling murder. The inspector
stated that Erickson had been at Iowa
Falls on the Sunday, just as he claimed
to the police here. These facts were
stated in yesterday mornings GLOBE.
The inspector has aScertained that the
story about the bloody clothes was
nothing more or less than fake. The
dispatch sent from Iowa Falls that a
bundle of bloody clothes had been
found on the bank of the river, and that
the chief of police of that quiet little
village had in his possession piece of
carpet besmeared with gore was con-
cocted out of the wild imaginings of a

to work the Minneapolis papers on a
string"

lease him from custody. Sheriff Ege.

ADRY AGAIN TALKS.
The Elder Brother Goes Before
the Grand Jury.

the Grand Jury.
There are no new developments in
Minneapolis in the Catherine Cling
murder sensation. Yesterday afternoon
Adry Hayward was taken over from St.
Paul and taken before the grand iury.
He entered the jury room shortly after
O'Clock and remained there until 4 80.
when an adjournment was taken until
10 O'Clock this forenoon. The jury
seems determined to hear the entire
story of the crime. and every person
who is known to have been connected
with the incidents leading up to it has
been obliged to tell what he knows. 1t
is thought that the fact of Adry being
brought before the jury indicates that
he will be dismissed, but the county au-
thorities maintain that such is not the
case.
1t is the general belief at police head
quarters that Claus Blixt, the self-con-
fesSed murderer, has not told all he
knows about the case. The inspectors
make it point 70 interrogate him at ali
hours of the day and night, but so far
they have secured nothing additional.
He says that he told the truth last Sun
day and there is nothing more for him
to do. Among others who visited his
cell yesterday was Winn Bracket, ex-
chief of police. He tried his persuasive
tongue on the man, but BlIxt refused TO
say anything. He remarked that he
would like to see clergyman, a Swed-
ish clergyman, if possible.
When he was first arrested it was sup
posed he was Of German descent, but it
appears that the man is a Swede, and
that he was born in Sweden. and not in
this country, as first stated.
The inspectors have been endeavor-
ing during the past few days to locate
the jeweiry Of the murdered woman.
BliXt says that he disturbed nothing on
her person when he killed her. Harry
wanted him to bring back her sealskin
cloak so he could pawn it, but he did
not even touch it.
MinneapOlitans have no other feeling
than disgust for the bravado of Harry
Hayward, who sits in his cell in st.
Paul. endeavOring TO make people be-
ieve lie is either insane or has nothing
to fear. 1t is not likely the attempt to
secure Il change of venue for him will
carry, for it is the belief of the county
authorities that he should be tried here
with Rliyt
