GallOped Over His Field.
j. j. RYAN BID UP THE WINNER
At One Stage Of the Race II Looked as If the
Favorite Had No Chance, but He Came
with Vengeance and Won Very Easily
a Large Crowd Pressnt-The Results.

The largest crowd in the history Of the
Alexander Island course gathered there yes
terday, the closing down Of the st. Asaph

ing very satisfactory TO the public, as four
favoriies and second choice captured the
purses. Fourteen books were on and they
all quit loser on the day.
MasterIode was considered a sure winner
by the railbirds and handicappers, and his
price was cut from to l TO 8 to ). The old
horse failed TO show an ounce Of speed and
finished bad last, Pirate Chief winning in
handy manner.
Fngin gave a remarkable exhibition in the
last race. and his victory occasioned any
amount OF talk On his two previous times
out the horse had performed so poorly that
in the opening betting yesterday to was
on offer. The plunge was so persistent that
a. post time TO was the best obtainable
FagiR got of well, but propped himself di-
reetly afterthe start, and was bad last pass
ing the stand.
Around the backstretch he ran kindly and
commenced catching up with his field. He
ran on the outside all the way. and turning
into the stretch was close behind the leader.
Coming on with rare flight OF speed he fin
ished winner by three lengths. Judge Oyster
ignored a complaint made about Fagin's in
and out running, being satisfied it was due TO
the horse being a sulker. J. J. Ryan bid the
winner up 500 over the entered selling price
OF $500. Owner Weir bidding him in at the
usual IS advance.
Con LUcey was the hottest tip of the day
and everybody fastened TO get aboard. and
GrRy's horse won cleverly. Eclipse and Mag
net were the other favorites to keep faith with
the public. Summaries:

The Murder of Miss Cling

has been brought to light in connection
with the recent murder of Miss Gather
/ Inc Cling at Minneapolis. The facts
have not been unraveled, or At least
have not all been given to the public,
but so far as they have been, it appears
that she was the victim of conspiracy
OF long standing, requiring the concur
r. Mt action OF several men. the purpose
of which was to get control by transfer
OF the insurance on Miss Ging's life,
end then murder her to get the money.
The arch william of the plot had long
cultivated an intimscy with her, and
by the assiduitY of his attentions, had
/ wormed himself into her confidence.
and apparently inio her affections, and
in some way obtained from her a
transfer to himself of her life insurance
policy for Sl0.000-his own explanation

ity for loan of $500 The story
goes that the sum paid over TO her was
in fact counterfeit monty. and that one
motive for The crime was to ooliterate
her testimony to this dsmning fact.
When he had obtained possession of the
policy. the unsuspecung victim. herself

and her murderer to the doom they had
designed for her. was lured TO a lonely
spot and then shotto death by an as
sassin hired for the purpose. The con-
