Hawthorne, Ill, May 12.-It was a
cold day for the sports at the race
track. Chicago and Cook county have
for some time been struggling with a
hot wave, hut the owners and patrons
or Hawthorne track found 1t cool
enough for them when 80 big deputy
sheriffs marched into the track and
declared that Hawthorne was running
a game prejudicial TO good morals. the
laws, and the peace OF the community.
Having declared themselves the depu-
ties proceeded to gather In Edward
Corrigan, the master of Hawthorne;
John Brennock, his business partner;
Joseph Il. Ullman, the proprietor of
the foreign book and twenty-siX small
er fry. The prisoners were hurried
off to the city and brought before
Judge Ewing, Of the superior court,
who, after a short discussion with the
attorneys for the prisoners and for the
civic federation which planned the
raid, admitted the prisoners to bail in
the sum of $500 each.
The officers Of the civic federation
have determined that there shall be no
racing contrary to law in Cook county
this year., and they declare they will
repeat the raids as often as the man.
agement of Hawthorne cares to open
up.
Rumors of the intended raid had got
abroad, however, and when the army
Of law approached the track there was
great confusion and excitement at the
track. The bookmakers were prompt
ly given the alarm and at once began
10 hustle their blackboards out of
sight. When the deputies marched in
not a blackboard was to be seen and
the bookmakers were standing around
trying to look innocent.
There was no confusion ut the for
eign book, however. Joe Ullman con
trolls it, and he had been arrested in
a raid last year. He had an idea that
lightning never struck twice in the
same place, and besides he vas max
ing bets on nice good races at other
tracks. Therefore, Ullman. wrapped
IN his innocence, confident of his abil-
ity to locate the spot where the bolt
would strike, made no effort to hide
his blackboard-or what would have
served him better, his person-and he
vas badly fooled. The lightning hit
him fair and square. A deputy who
had an idea that Hawthorne races
were no more immoral than those on
other tracks promptly rounded Mr..
Ullman up, much to that ~gentleman's
disgust and wrath for his book was
$1,000 behind on the day and he
wanted to make it up. Other men
connected with the foreign book see
ing the miserable failure OF Ullman's
lightning rod, made a wild break for
liberty, but the officers secured as
many Of them as they cared for. The
formal hearing of the prisoners will be
next Tuesday.

Murdered nm Ahhe.

Pcris, May 1.-THE Able de Broglie,
a brother of the Due de Brogiie, was
murdered by a woman named Amelot.
The able, it appears, has been the con-
fessor Of the woman and she seems to
have labored under the deiusion that
he had illuminated her. She called
upon him and demanded a written
statement of retraction OF the alleged
calumnies. When the able declined to
grant her request she drew a revolver
and fired four times at the priest and
killed him. She then went to a priest
at the Eglise des Carmes, confessed
her crime and begged for dissolution.
Afterward the oma went to a police
officer, confessed the murder and was
arrested.

cane. karg went to his room and
procured a butcher knife. Returning,
he secured Wise's cane and then made
a rush at him with the knife. Wise
was almost helpless, being paralyzed
In M side, and was therefore at
Karg's mercy. The knife was as sharp
as a razor, and with 1t Karg slashed
Wise across the neck and head. Wise
attempted to get down stairs, and as
he was cropping along the hallway In
the dark Karg made another dash at
him. Drawing the knife across the
back of his neck, he nearly severed
the head from his body. With the
blood streaming from his wounds,
Wise managed to get down stairs, but
he died soon afterward. After the
murder Karg washed himself, went to
his room, and pretended to be asleep
when the superintendent knocked at
his door. He was placed under arrest.
His clothing was found saturated
with the blood Of his victim. In
Karg's room were found two other
knives besides the one with which he
killed Wise.

An Opinion Respecting the Fish and
Game Commission

An Opinion Respecting the Fish and
Game Commission.
st. Paul, May 12.-There Is no fish
and game commission in Minnesota
according to an opinion rendered by
Attorney General Chiids this morning.
He holds that under the wording of
the first section of the new law passed
Last winter a new board of fish and
game commissioners is created, and
hence the terms of the present COM
missioners expired with the passage Of
that act, and the old board IA COM
pletely abolished. The words which do
the business are:
There shall be a board Of five COM
missiOners, who shall be appointed by
the governor, and shall constitute the
first board under the provisions of this
act"
The opinion vas handed to the gov
ernor this morning, and under it there
will undoubtedly be a new commits
sion, Or at least two new members
to take the place Of Undertake and
Ferris. The fact that Mr.. Fullerton
was appointed by the governor only
last winter probably insures his re-
tention of his office. Besides, he has
made a very effective agent. as the
poachers know to their sorrow.
