jocular way, although his eyes belied it.
"Who am I? Why, don't you know me?''

. Some of Jose's confidence was returning.
He muttered an unintelligible reply.
"How much money you got?"
The colossal impudence of the question
would nave dStOunQed any stranger. Jose
looked angrily amazed. He started to re-
ply with an oath. when suddenly his face
changed.
Don't look at me like that he whined.
How much money you got?" repeated
the big man calmly but remorselessly.
Jose struggled with himself to keep si-
lent; but the cold. deliberate and pudging
eyes compelled him to speak and tell the
truth.
Notwithstanding he faltered,
barely above a whisper.
$50 you've got 81 900 now?" echoed the
other in tones of great satisfaction.
Abject fright again swept into Jose's
face. Four thousand? Why, that was ex-
actly the amount he
The thought was not even finished in his
mind. He saw that the eyes read guilt in
his own. By an almost superhuman effort
he broke the hypnotic spell of the dreadful
gaze and looked hurriedly about him for
help. He tried to cry out. but his throat
was dry. Then his hand shifted nervously
behind him for his revolver.

HEADLEsS BICYCLIST FOUND.
Body of an Unidentified Man I'm 1,
WhecIman's Uniform.

JameSburg, n j., June 2S.-fartidiiy
concealed by brushwood and water the
body of an unidentified man. who evidently
was a victim of murder, was found on
Monday afternoon about three miles from
Spottswood.
He was dressed like a bicyclist, but his
wheel has not been found. 1t seems prob
able that he was killed somewhere on the
Spottswood Road and that his body was
then carried TO the place where it was dis
covered. The man had been dead for
weeks.
County Physician Carroll, of Dayton,
who visited the scene today, says the skull
was fractured. The head was severed from
the body.
The scene OF the mystery is about a
quarter of mile from the old John Paxton
farm. which is now abandoned A man
named Andrews, who was gathering huck-
leberries, found the body, and although ne
told several persons about it on Monday,
and the mystery was the subject of common
talk all over the country side. the coroner
did not learn of 1t until yesterday, and in
the afternoon County Physician Carroll
drove out to investigate.
About twenty feet from the narrow road,
IIOHi pdsseIS-Ds ny usHNOtu. the
body lay face downward the upper part of
the trunk sunk in water or mire. The sew
cred head was hidden by the body.
The position alone, furnished circum-
stantial evidence of foul play: The man
could not have fallen from the road into
the place where he lay. and the deep mire
of the swamp must have prevented him
from approaching from the opposite di-
rection and falling with his head toward
the road.
These facts and the thick brush about
the place make it appear likely that the
man was carried to the spot after he was
dead. There was no evidence of a strug-
gle about the place.
The clothing consisted of sweater
which had once been white dark bicycle
trousers, russet Shoes golf stockings, and
white cotton underwear. The man had
worn dark stubby beard.
After diligent enquiry in the neighbor-
hood the reporter failed to find anyone
who recalled having seen a wheeiman
wearing such clothing but as there are
many riders thereabouts and as the crime
is five or six weeks old this is scarcely
strange.
Hundreds of persons have gone past the
swamp where the body lay, and although
there has been noticeable odor for many
days no one thought it worth while to in
vestigate until Andrews stumbled upon his
grewsome find.
The coroner, with the county physician
and Court Detective Oliver, is making a
thorough investigation of the case, and it
is thought that an autopsy may disclose
some mark Of Identification or at least.
prove whether or not the man, a wheel
man, was murdered and decapitated as the
result OF some roadside encounter and hid
den away by the guilty persons.
Many residents Of the vicinity who have
examined the swamp are inclined to be-
lieve that the crime was committed a long
way on and that the murderers carried the
body to the swamp under cover Of night.

A BOYS KNOCKOUT BLOW.
EIevcn-Year-OId Lad Seriously In
lures n Playmate

New York, June 2s.-Arthur Henry, a
ten-year-old pupil of the Webster Street
school, in Newark, is lying in critical
condition at the home of his father, suf-
fering from concussion of the brain-the
result of a blow dealt by eleven year old
Charles E. Newman. jr.. pupil of the
same school. For some time the boys
have been enemies, because. as Newman
claims, Henry had persisted in calling him
names. A few days ago, while the boys
were leaving school, Henry called the
Newman boy a name. and Newman threat
ened to chastise him If he repeated it.
Then, according to Newman, Henry
called him a vile name and kicked him.
In self-defence Newman struck him with
his fist. The blow landed on Henry's
neck. He went down, his head striking
the sidewalk heavily.
After his arrival home Henry became
unconscious. and Dr. E. L. Burns was
summoned He diagnosed the trouble as
concussion of the brain.
Yesterday young Henry's condition was
SO serious that his father asked for New
mans arrest.

RACE OF AMERICAN YACHTS.
Contest between Columbia and De

New York. June 2s.-The first race be-
tween the Columbia and Defender will be
sailed on Thursday, July s. This race was
to have been sailed next Saturday, but the
delays in getting the Columbia ready re-
cesstated delay and it was suggested
that Monday. July 3. should be the day set
for the contest, but there was some objec-
tion to the day being selected on the part
of the members of the New YorA Yacht
Club. as il is a holiday.
S. Nicholson Kane. the chairman of the
regatta committee of the New York Yacht
Club, went to Newport on Monday to con-
fer with C. Oliver Iselin, the managing
owner of the Columbia. He returned TO
town yesterday and at once posted this no.

Mr. Iselin was prepared to sail the Co

order to accommodate those who wish TO

The Senators mt Cincinnati.

The Senators did not play yesterday, but
will begin a series with the Reds at Gin
cinnati today. 1t is possible. not prob
able, that two of the, four games will be
won by Irwin's men. and as Louisville will
be compelled to contend against the heavy
hitting Quakers. and afterwards against
the Reds. it is possible that July will
find the Senators once more in tenth
place. This. however, is another possi-
bility, and not a probability.
