st. Paul, Mimi, June 2S.-A La
Crosse, Wis, special says: The widest
mob seen in La Crosse in some years
gathered in the northern part Of the
city last night to denounce policeman
for killing a man. When Chief Byrne
tried to pacify them they would not
listen to him, and it was half an hour
before he could get them quieted down.
Even then they demanded the murder
ed mans body. The police are puzzled
because they say there is no murdered
man. and no foundation for the story
except that four days ago two tramps
were ordered out Of town, and one OF
them resisting he was tapped with
billy. but was not even knocked down.
A committee was appointed by the mass
meeting and they notified the chief Of
police that he must produce the man
alive or dead to-day.

New York, June 2S.-For the past two
weeks movement to interest the lead
ing members of the National Trotting
Association in bicycle racing, chiefly
in a professional way, has been on foot
and eliminated in meeting to-day at
the Turf, Field and Farm Office.
Hamilton Burby presided. Johnson,
Sanger, Tyler and other professionals
were represented by T. w. Eek and
David Shaffer The proposition is tc
form an association for the government
of professional cycling and use the
grounds and influence Of the trotting
men wherever acceptable. Mr.. Burby
thought the scheme quite feasible and
named several millionaire rotting
horse owners whom he was in COM
munication with on the matter. He
said many of the trotting tracks, both
half and mile in circumference would
make
RECORD D-BREAKERS,
and he believed that with a union Of
the trotting men and cyclists the ven-
ture would be a sporting and financial
success.
w. J. Morgan was seen at his office
after the meeting and made the follow
ing statement:
Eyes, it is true that there is such a
scheme on foot, and We had a meeting
to-day. While l believe the l.. a. w.
should control bicycle racing, yet Il is
my firm conviction that they cannot do
so successfully. Professional athletes
musa have good firm manage
ment, like the National TrOt-
ting Association employs, or like
the National base ball management
has secured. 1t is my desire TO see
professional bicycling properly handled
by business people and it takes the time
of salaried men to run such things sue
cessfully. The prosposltion to have the
National Cycle Board of Trade take
hold, is both impolitic and dangerous,
as the public would look upon racing If
controlled by such body, as a purely
commercial affair without sporting
sentiment. I have had several consul
tations with the trotting association
people and believe that with combina-
ton Of bicycling and trotting races, a
first class organization will result"

duced TO him as Etcheverry, though

where he had been for several years.
Il remember noting about the trans
action" said Notary Lyons to-day, but
my book shows that a man who signed
the name OF B. Etcheverry was before
me on Septem ber 18th, and that
he made and acknowledged q deed
conveying certain San Diego real es-
tate to Frank EthriGge also OF San Diego.
l have no recollection whatever concern
ing how the alleged Etchevorry was in
troduced to me. The matter has passed
wholly from my memory"
The deed acknowledged before Notary
Lyons was sent to the Merchants Ma
tional Bank OF San Diego, with instruc-
tons 10 deliver it to the grantee on pay
ment Of 81. 800, less SIP 80 to be paid to an
agent. The deed would have been COM
pleted bat for the fact that some OF the
parties in interest grew suspicious, know
ing that Etcheverry was absent, and
made inquiries Of his brother-in-law in
san Diego. This inquiry led to the dis
coyery that the deed was forgery.

has taken steps TO work in connection
with Notary Lyons, and discover. if ros-

Flames Raging in n Colliery In tho
Anthracite Region of Pennsylvania.
HAZLEToN (Pa.), March IO.-The worst
mine fire in the anthracite region for
some time is now raging in the Hazleton,
slope of the Lehigh Valley Coal Com
pany. When the fire broke out six
weeks ago it was at first thought to be of
little consequence. The slope was closed
shortly afterward. Since then hundreds
of thousands of dollars have been spent
in efforts TO subdue the flames. The
chances Of getting the ire out soon are
dubious. The mine was the most valua-
bile operated by the company, employing
100 men. The subterranean openings
connect the Hazleton mines with three
other valuable properties and these latter
are also IN danger. II is estimated that
before the outbreak itself shall have been
overcome 81, 900. 900 will have to be ex-
