ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.

Train and is Fatally IHjured-Taken to
Jail to Die.
Clinton, Ill. April 3.-At 4:30 o'clock
TINS Afternoon this city was thrown inc
the widest excitement by dcuola muir
der and attempted suicide. Ed Pollen,
formerly employed at the shops of the
Illinois Central railroad, murdered his
wife. formerly MISE Myrtle Green. and
his mother-:r-laW, Mrs. McMunen, and
then attempted suicide by thr 'wiI.S
himself in front Of an eastbound freight
train. Jealousy is given as his reason
for committing the horrible deed. Pollen
left. here a short time ago for Creston.
Ia, and had just returned with the in
tention of getting his wife TO return
there. Today he went to his mother in
laws to talk the matter over with his
wife. Family quarreIs were frequent
and this interview resulted in a quarrel
and Mrs. McMullen interfering, Pollen,
in his rage, grabbed a double-barrellcd
shotgun, when both women fed and got
into a neighbours yard. Pollen emptied
one barrel Of the gun at his wife, strik-
ing her just behind the right ear, kill
ing her instantly. AS Mrs. Pollen fell
forward on her face, Mrs. McMullen
looked around just in time to receive the
full charge of the second Darrell in her
face. Both women were found lying
just as they fell.
Pollen cody walked a few steps, stop
ped, reloaded his gun and ran east to
the railroad. A freight train was pull
ing in. The officers and citizens were
so close behind him that he dropped his
gun and threw himself in front of the
engine. The pilot struck him in the head
inflicting injuries which are pronounced
fatal. He was then lodged in Jail, To-
night great crowd of citizens assembl-
ed in front of the jail, but Mayor Me-
Gill addressed them and said Pollen
would die of his injuries and the crowd
finally dispersed. 1t is rumored late
tonight that Pollen was taken to Deca-
tur for safe keeping. The Jail is heavi-
ly guarded and no reporters are allow
ed near il.

If THEY CATCH KRASNOW
Russian Refugees In America Threaten a
Supposed Traitor.

Philadelphia, April 3-Agents of a
Russian patriotic society in the east are
hunting for Gregor Krasnow, who was
Implicated in the plot that resulted in
the assassination Of Car Alexander II
of Russia in 1881. Krasnow, who was
then about IS years old, was arrested at
the time and secured his release on bail
through powerful influences. He fed
TO Switzerland and soon after came to
America, living in Chicago until recent
~ On March 16, a story was printed
to the effect that he had after receiving
the bounty of Russian refugees for a
number of years, applied to the Russian
government for pardon. offering to
enter the secret service at St. Peters
burg and give the government valuable
Information. The principal motive for
this action is said to be Krasnow's de-
sire TO obtain a portion of the fortune
Of 100000 roubles left by his father,
who died soon after his daughter, who
was also interested in the assassination
was hanged. A brother of Krasnow
and three Of his cousins were all hanged
and these circumstances appealed
strongly to the sympathy Of Russians
in this country, and led them to supply
him literally with funds. While living
in Chicago Krasnow was known as II.
NJ. Shike. He was employed by Mayer,
Engel & Co, wholesale clothiers, for
twelve years, and afterwards engaged
in the clothing manufacturing business
in that city. In order TO deceive the
Russian police, a circumstantial story
Of his death and burial was printed IN
a paper published in Geneva by the
Russian refugees. In 1883 the Russian
authorities learned that he was s-'1l
alive and '~c ~ he r 0st famous detec-
tives in ST. PEE. sburg came 10 this
country IN search of the refugee. slim
ulared by an offer of a reward OF the
Cross of Honor and q, 600 roubles for
Krasnow, dead or alive. This detective
was outwitted by Krasnow and his
friends, and he returned 20 ST. Peters
burg without his man.
When KrasnJw left Chicago recently
he was followed TO New York. where
he was seen 10 meet a well known Chica-
go merchant. with whom he had been on
Intimate terms OF friendship and re-
ceived a sum of money from him Il is
believed that Il was on the advice OF
this gntleman that Krasnow left Chi
