After fighting 20 rounds which were
productive OF most scientific work by

at two to one, but although no money
was lost on the result several bets at
odds that Leon would not stand six

Both men had about equal misfortune

and each put In lap cione. Linton's
teams were the faster. and Elkes suf-
fered thereby. only the quad steered by
Waller being able to pull him along at q
winning speed. The winning margin for
Linton of a little less than half a mile
hardly shows how close the race was for
over 20 miles. Elkes got the start and
led for one mile and two laps, when Lin
ton passed him. From this point until
about the 18th mile the race was actually
nip and tuck, the men and PAGERS appar-
emily being In a bunch, Linton leading.
After this for a few miles Linton seemed
to have greater speed, and by the 21st
mile had gained a lap and was trying
for another. He got half Of one and lost
most Of II by losing pace, but gained the
distance again. which was finally cut
dowS somewhat by Elkes' fast work in
closing. Linton finished fresh in
Sc: 30 is. or minute and 40 seconds un-

years old, tried to murder Catherine Di
Rosa, an attractive young woman. SO
years old. by shooting her in the neck
when in front Of 351 Hanover street last
evening.
After firing the shot at the woman. and
seeing her fall to the pavement with
blood streaming from the wound on her
shoulder, Colella turned the revolver
upon himself, and sent a bullet into his
brain, causing his death 10 minutes later.
The woman was but slightly injured by
the bullet. Jealousy is said to have led
Colella to commit the deed.
The police are greatly stirred up over
the shooting following so closely on the
murder of Foreman Ellis by Di Brassi,
the Italian, and say that IT goes to show
that there are great many Italians in
the city who carry concealed weapons
The legislature may be appealed to In the
near future to adopt laws granting the
police power to search suspected persons
for weapons. This, the police say, 10
the only way to put a stop. to Italian
shooting and cutting affairs such as have
taken place in such numbers since the
opening of the present year.
