FORGER MONRUE'S RECORD OF
CRIME.
He Swiadisd Pasadena Bank and
Got Away, But Game to Grief
When He Struck
Denver.

PASADENA, Nov. IA chapter in the
career of Frank G. Monroe, forger now
in Jail in Denver, charged with raising
a certificate OF deposit from SIS to
$500, came to light in this place to-
day. The man was here about two
weeks ago, and under the hams of G.
L. Morton succeeded in getting the
First National bank OF Pasadena to
cash certificate of deposit which had
been issued by New York bank for
$50, but had been raised by the skillful
forger to 5000. which sum he received
and promptly disappeared. He was
vouohed for by citizen who knew him
in the east as @. l.. Morton, though in
Denver he operated under his present
name, that of his mother. A warrant
was Issued by Justice Merriam, and off,
GERS searched for the forger, tracing
him to San Diego, where shey lost him.
Pasadena officers today telegraphed to
Denver to ascertain il certain if Monroe
is the same man wanted here, and the
reply proves he is. The Denver authori-
ties hsve been requested to give up the
prisoner and allow him to be brought
here on requisition for trial.

New YORK, Nov. 14.-When play was
begun between Scbaefer and Ives to-
night there was only fair attendance.
As the evening progressed, however, the
seats filled up and the attendance
,aualed any of the previous nights.
The score, when the play commenced,
was: Ives, 1900; Schsefer. S92.
Ives left the balls together and
Schaefer made run of 20 points. Ives
started and ran IL points. Schsefer
made run of six and Ives stopped after
making a point. This gave the table to
Schaeier again, who ran his score up to
90 points. Ives was little nervous and
missed an open after running only six
points. Scbaefer ran IL. The layout
WAS encouraging when Ives started In
again and he ran up 70.
The Wizard did not prove himself
equal to his title at this stage of the
game, for he could do but little with
the ivoriss. After Ives had made 70,
Schaeter went at it and only ran 8.
Ives then made 2l.
At this point Schaeter commsnced to
pick up and made run of 81. Ives
was leading his opponent in good form
and the next time he took bis cue he
ran up 124 points. He was frequen tly
applauded for his beautiful mssse shots.
The Wizard scored blank, and his op-
ponent ran the balls all over the green
and did nearly az he pleased. When he
finished ne had run 81, and stopped by
losing masse.
When Schaefer went to work again
he made the best shots of the evening
when he made his twenty.ssventh point
of the inning, his cue ball was on the
rail bstWeen the two. To make this
shot he had to make one OF the finest
masse scores seen in the tourney. His
score was 20 when he quit.
Ives had good control of the balls and
ran to 80. This put his score to within
45 OF the limit.
Schaefer then made So points, every
one of which was made with pretty
shots.
At the next inning Ives had to be
content with two points. Schaefer then
made 20.
Ives then ran 43 and the game. Score:
Ives--9, 157, l, 6. rs, q, 124, 81, 92, 2,
43-600. Grand total, 1900. Tonight's
average, 54 Gill; highest run, 157.

KANSAS Cry, Nov l4.-The Missouri.
Kansas and Texas train held up near
Muskogee last night, has arrived here.
Two Wagner cars look ss though they
had been through q battle. The bandits
intimidated the passengers by firing
through the windows. The robbers &C.
cured over $500 and about 40 watches
and other articles OF jewslry. The Wag-
ner conductor and train conductor were
each relieved OF little over SAC. The
express car was being protected by four
armed guards when it was stopped, and
they opened fire at once. driving the
bandits back. The robbers consulted a
few moments and withdrew to the rear
OF the train. The train crew thought
they were we'll lid OF the robbers when
the firing began on the Wagner cars.
Wagner Oar Company Conductor
Murphy wac given gunny sack by the
bandits and compelled to walk ahead of
them. Two robbers followed behind
with leveled guns. The passengers were
required to divest Themselves of money

They were lenient about it, not demand.
ing showdown from any body, but ap.
pearing satisfied when the passenger
appeared TO have dropped the first roll
he had his hands on. The Wagner pas
sengers were all in their berths. and the
car was quite dark. The robbers or
dered more light, and made Murphy do
the talking necessary to convince the
passengers that they had better give up.
The passengers in the day coaches were
not molested.
Some OF the victims were: w. E..
Hughes OF Kansas, gold watch and 500 !;
Bert Wilkins of Omaha, on his way from

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
NASHVILLE'S MOST APPALLING
TRAGEDY.
Chancellor Allison Killed by tho Clerk
of His Court, Who Then Shot
mself-Monsy uatters
the Cause

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 14.-Of all
the many tragedies Nashville has ex-
periencsd, the most appalling was per-
petrateal today. Chancnry Court Clerk
George X. Whitewortb shot and in
stantly killed Chancellor Allison in the
upper hallway of the courthouse at
about IL :45 pm. He fired both barrels
of sho ayun loaded with buekshot. and
about % of the shot took effect in the
breast and side OF the chancellor, who
fell near tine stairway, gasped once or
twice and died. Only one man, Joseph
III. Acklen, saw the tragedy. The chan
cellor had just adjourned mis- court and
left the room, entered the tall, and was
about to descend the steps. White
worth, who was in the hail, said:
"Oh, Judge" and he turned and fred
at him. Acb len rushed to him, and ss
he did go heard two shots from behind.
Turning he saw that Whiteworth had
shot himself with pistol. After the
first firing Deputy Clerk West ran out
from his room into the ball and saw
Whiteworth sh Dot himself che first time.
He called to him, and Whiteworth told
him TO stand of, and backed away from
him, preparing to shoot himself again.
West grappled with him, but too late.
and the second shot was fired. both tax
ing effect in the lett side.
Whitewortn was perfectly cool during
and afssr the affsir and expressed no
regrets vus desired to know if he had
killed hui man, etatng that no man
vino had treated him az Allison nad
oou,d live in the same county with
him. The body OF the dead chancellor
49,
worth was taken to hie. Whiseworth
is still aliv 9, but is sinking rapidly and
his death is expected in the morning. 1t
was believed during the afternoon that
Wbiteworth killed the chancellor bs-
cause ha rafused to reappoint him.
The facts developed do not sustain thu
theory From men familiar with the
transactions bstweeD the two it ig
learned the cause OF the tragedy is
