FAST TRAINS TAKEN OFF,
Santa Fe Limited Between Chi
cago and Los Angeles to
Be Abandoned.
Retrenchment the Order of the Day
With the New Management of
the Road.

CHICAGO, I'LL, Jan. 2.-Retrenchment
is the order of the day with the new man
agement of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railway Company, and the first
step IN this direction Will be the abandon
ment of the fast limited express train be-.
tween Chicago and Los Angeles.
This train was put on about three months
ago as an experiment. The time made
between Chicago and Los Angeles was
only three days, and the equipment of the
train was equal to that of the famous linn
tied trains between Chicago and New York
1t is claimed at the rate the company
has been losing money on its fast limited
express its loss at the end of year would
have been over 100000
President Ripley informed the general
managers of the Chicago and Missouri River
lines at meeting held Friday afternoon
of the intention of his company to take off
the California limited, and the announce
ment was received with much satisfaction.
The managers of all the Chicago and Kan
sas City lines are opposed to running extra
fast trains, especially during the winter
on account of the increased danger and the
extra expense.

CRIME OF A POLICEMAN,
He Murders a Sergeant Who
Had Found Him Off
His Beat.
Mingles Unconcernedly With His
Fellow officers After Staying
His Superior.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan 12.-Sergeant
Timothy Cantlin of the Seventh Precinct,
was shot and killed by Patrolman Michael
Sammon this afternoon, because he found
the latter off his beat and intended to re-
port him therefor. After shooting Cantlin,
Sammon walked to the station-ho
which he entered, saying he wanted to get
warm. Lighting his pipe, he chatted for
some time with the reserve men and then
started out again.
As he was leaving the station-ho
Patrolman Mcclure entered, and laying
his hand on Sammon's shoulder, he said
':You are under arrest for shooting Ser
geant Cantlin."
Cantlin lay where he fell for nearly q
half hour, but did not lose consciousness.
Taking his whistle from his pocket he blew
alarms until he attracted the attention OF
Patrolman Mcclure, to whom he told the
facts of the shooting. He was removed to
the hospital, where he died this afternoon.
Sammon refused to talk about his crime.

the threatened inclemency of the weather
there was one of the largest crowds of
spectators in attendance at the free-for-all
coursing match of the Sacramento Cours-
ing Club to-day that has ever been known
in this vicinity. At least 700 vehicles were

grounds were in excellent condition.
The feature of the day was the perform
ance of McMahon's dog Gle, who bested
Skyball. 10 to points The latter is con-
coded to be the fastest dog in California. if
not in the world. Gile has also won many
honors, taking second money at MERGED
last year. The outcome of this race was
the surprise OF the day. Nelly Conley and
Annie Rooney ran the longest race ever
Judged in the State, making fifty-six points
III all. The next longest was made at
MERGED, when fortyeight points were
scored. In to-day's run Nellie Conroy
handled her hare so cleYerly that Annie
Rooney was never let in, though always
well up.
J. F. Grace's dog Rollalong, after killing
in his contest with Kelly's Jack, started a
second hare and ran into wire fence.
This laid him up and he was unable to run

THOMPSON KNOWN HERE.
Vas Seaman of Exceptional Ability and
Cautious Navigator.

Hds Seaman of Exceptional Ability and
u Cautious Navigator.
The Janet Cowan is four-masted vessel,
bark rugged on the iigger or aftermost
mast. She was built by r. Steele at
Greenock in 1866 and was entered at Swan
sea. Her length is pa feet, beam 35.4 feet,
depth 22.5 feet and has a registered tom
mage of 249S. She belongs to the "burn"
line of vessels, of which are the Otterburn,
Routenburn, and the Celticburn, now on
her way to this port from Newcastle, New
South Wales.
Captain Thompson, who persisted from
exposure after leaving his ship, is a native
of the Shetland Islands, and was about As
years of age. He had a wife and family in
England. He entered the employ of the
company that owned the Janet Cowan at
an early age, and passed upward through
all the grades of an officer until he was
promoted to the rank of master.
By those who are intimately acquainted
with him he is described as having been
an exceedingly careful end cautious Scotch
skipper, and a seaman who had no superb
ors in the profession.

der McBoyle, the druggist at the corner of
Washington and Sansome streets, land
knowing his abilities as a commander, his
discretion as a navigator, cannot account
for the loss of the Janet Cowan. believe
that the disaster was the result of a combl-
nation of circumstances over which no sea-
man, however able, has any control. Cap
tain Thompson would never lose ship if
human skill could save her."
The Janet Cowan was in this port in
1898 and sailed for England during October
of that year. Thompson was in command
of her then and had been for mum Der of
years. Like many who have been lost at
sea he was intending to resign his COM
mand and remain at home after this trip.

Delegate Flynn of Oklahoma WGgtn1
War A9ainst the Secretary.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 12.-Dele-
gate Flynn of Oklahoma continues to
wage war against Secretary Hoke Smith.
Recently he attacked that official in a
speech on the floor of the House, alleging
that the secretary had appointed relatives
in Oklahoma in connection with the work
OF the general land office.
Mr.. Flynn's latest move is an effort to
block the confirmation of w. II. Anderson
OF Kentucky as Register of the Land Office
at Enid, 0. t. Mr.. Anderson was formerly
chief of division of the Interior Depart
ment, and was appointed Receiver last
summer to succeed Robert NJ. Patterson of
Georgia, who was killed in difficulty with
an editor at Enid. Mr.. Flynn bases his
objection to Mr. Anderson's confirmation
on the ground that he is an outsider, and
he contends that residents of the Territory
should hold the offices IN accordance with
the declarations of the Democratic plat
form.

DICK MOORE DEFEATED.
PADDY PurteH of Kansas city Whips the St.
Paul Man in -Four Fast
Poundc

KANSAS CITY, No, Jan. 12.-Paddy
Purtell of Kansas City (the Saginaw Kid y
knocked Dick Moore of st. Paul out in
four rounds tonight, after a lively fight in
a barn in this city. About 200 sports saw
the contest, which went off without
hitch. The two fighters had met several
times before unsatisfactory, and to-
nights go was for a purse of $1,000 and
blood"
Time was called at 9:55. Moore went at
his man hard in the first two rounds, and
certainly looked like winner, but in the
third round he let up on his gait, and in
the fourth Purtell seemed to have him
winded and knocked him down three
times. The last blow caught Moore on the
jaw and phased him.
The betting was on Purtell from the
start-$10o to $50 and 500 to SIS, with few
takers.
