End of the Long, weary Srtno ""
wheels Mt Tnttcrsnus.
CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-The closing hours OF
the worlds international six-days-and-siX-
nights race we're filled with enthusiasm. Fully
&c, 1000 people crowded Tattersalls' build
ing. The cheering of the spectators aroused
the remaining contestants to renewed Ell
forts. At Q o'clock the order was: Schinner,
Miller, Ashinger, Lawson THE Terrible
Swede" and Hansen the "Rainmaker," with
| hardly a foot between them. Hannant, the
fireman, had dropped out of the race at ESQ
p. M, being thrown from his wheel by a
trainer attempting to cross the track, after
riding 1,4S0 miles, lacking 100 miles OF haV-
ing enough to secure a prize for his long,
weary ride.
At 1906 D. m. Fred Schinner OF Germany
was declared the champion long distance
rider of the world, having covered 1,7SS miles
and four laps, but lacking 1872 miles of com
ing up with Hale's Madison Square Garden
record. While the physical condition of the
FIVE riders who finished looked discouraging
to the future of six-day racing, the men
were not considered in a serious condition.
Fred Schinner, the winner, speaking OF ms
long endurance, says that he feels strong
and in a healthy condition and with a little
sleep and rest he will be able to defend the
title he has Just won. He will leave In ten
DAYS for an extended trip through the south
and upon his return to Chicago, will enter
college with the money won, and VIII gradu-
ate as a mechanical engineer. 49,.
Iliif, the no-legged rider, covered 4oi
miles, riding less than an average oil eignt
hours a day.
Schinner and Miller did not suffer mucn
from saddle soreness, a complaint that had
troubled some of the riders very badly. Law
son was in very bad condition and was liter.
ally raw from chatting. 1t Will be several
days before he can walk with any degree OF
comfort. Final score: Schinner, 1,7SS miles
and 4 laps; Miller, LAG miles and l lap;
Ashinger, LEY miles; Lawson, 1,7O7 miles
and 1 lap; Hansen, SOB miles and 3 laps.

Joe Buck Arrested ms Implicated Ii
Stealing trolley Wire.

Joe Buck Arrested ms implicated In
Stealing Trolley Wire.
The police yesterday made another arrest
of parties supposed to be implicated in the
destruction and theft of the motor COM
pany's Union driving park line. The man
arrested was Joe Buck. who is supposed to
be the chief offender. He has been living
in the park for several months taking care
of a string of horses belonging to different
parties, and has earned the reputation OF
being a rather eccentric fellow if not a
genuine desperate. He has only been per-
mitted to stay in the park on the same
terms and conditions, that any other
hostler would be permitted to live there
but he has recently conceived the idea
that it is his private domain. Several
timea during the winter he felt called upon
to pull his revolver and run citizens out
Of the park who happened to stroll within
the gates. He came here from Missouri and
has confessed to his confreres around the
stables that he was a star member OF the
Jesse James gang. He was implicated In
| the thefts from the motor company by the
| confessions of Bates and Stamey, the two
| young men under arrest. They made a full
| confession to the officers yesterday, in which
they detailed the whole story of the raid
on the trolley wires.
Buck, they say, suggested the plan and
| did part OF the work, experimenting the
| cutting down of the wires. A warrant was
issued and a couple of officers were sent after
| him. Buck had been expecting arrest and
had sent WORD up town tbst he would never
be taken alive. When the officers found
| him he was very drunk, but he made a
movement to pull his very handy gun. The
movement was only a BLUM, for his revolver
was not within reach.
The confession OF the young men also
made more trouble for Jacob Stein, the
Junk dealer who purchased the first lot OF
wire from them. They claimed that they
sold Stein sixty pounds last week prior tC
the purchase of the lot found in his posses
sion. They declared that altogether SteiI
had bought six different patches from them
Stein called at the station while the boyf
were telling their story and was confronted
by them. He entered a general denial tt
their charges, but the boys gave dates ant
amounts paid. and the junk dealers deniali
became very weak. He was placed undel
arrest again.
