CYCL|ST KILLED BY TRAP GUN
TRIED TO ENTER A HOUSE NEAR
BOHEMIAN, MONTANA.
His Identity Unknown, But He Is
Supposed to Be Tourist Riding
Through the Country.

Butte, Mont, July A special to
the Miner from Bozeman, Mont, says:
A bicyclist was shot and killed last
night between 6 and I o'clock in the
evening. about two miles northeast of
Chestnut. He was attempting to en-
ter the cabin of William Adams, which
is close to the Northern Pacific rail-
way, and had just pried open the shut
ter to the window when trap gun
was discharged and he received the
full force of its contents in his left
side, from which wound he died in
about half an hour This cabin has
been robbed several times, and Adams
had taken this means to protect his
property from tramps, with the above
fatal results.
The unfortunate was large man,
about 40 years old, light complexion
and mustache, well dressed and riding
a Rambler bicycle. His body was
brought to Bozeman this afternoon by
the coroner for identification. The de-
ceased was probably some tourist rid
ing through the country and was too
tired 10 ride to the next town, and so
tried TO enter the cabin for the night
The authorities are very reticent.
While dressing the body of the dead
man the undertaken at BoZeman found
two checks for considerable sums,
which were payable to w. F. Rhoaia

race was over the 1. Y. l.. course, from
Second South and Second East to Cald-
ers park, a distance of about four
miles
The race started at s a. M, and was
time handicap affair. the limit being III
minutes. j. b. Hume rode from scratch
and won both the race and first time
prize, his time being less than 16 min
utes. The following is the order of this
finish of the first ten:

The special match race between En-

disappointment as Emery refused to

off Lawson therefore agreed to run a
special pursuit race with the Salt Lake
tandem champion team, Sharman and
Gum. The tandem started on one side
of the track and Lawson started on
the other. Lawson had undertaken too
much of a job and the tandem over
hauled him in one and one-half miles.
They were generously applauded for
their work, for it was Lawson's first
defeat but the spectators. realizing the

dismounted.
The advertised match tandem race
between the Salt Lake and Ogden
teams came off as scheduled. and
proved very interesting. The Ogden
team, Goodsell and McGregor. deserve
great credit for their work. They had
never ridden on the track until fifteen
minutes before the races. and were not
accustomed to it. They made big
gain on Gum and Sharman, the Salt
Lakers. on the first two laps, but the
Salt Lakes regained this, and on the
third lap were fifteen yards to the good.
At four laps the Salt Lakes were forty
yards ahead, at nve laps sixty-five
yards in the lead and shortly after
passing the tape on the sixth lap over
hauled the OgdenS, the distance being
a trifie over three-quarters of mile.

BRYAN AND NEXT CANDIDATE
INDIFFERENT AS TO WHETHER
HE Is NOMINATED.
Declares the Democratic Party Will
Not Weaken On Money Question
Talks of Trusts.

GAINESVILLE. Ga, July 4.-W. J. Bryan
addressed the GAINESVILLE chautauaue
here today. The crowd which greeted
Mr.. Bryan was enormous. He spoke of
the Republican party, the party of
trusts, and said that the trust question
was growing in Importance. The Ne
oraskan also denounced the greed of
expansion" saying:
THE expansion argument is the ar
gument of George III. Shall we say on
this day of celebration that we have
lived 100 years under a wrong princi-
pie! No. Some say, take the Bible in
one hand and the gun in the other.
Thank God, l am not in favor of this
way of ChristianiZing. We shall not
depart from a Republican form of gov
eminent. We are not ready to accept
the doctrine of conquest and force. If
is not the desire of the Republicans to
do good, but the desire TO gain more
money that lies behind their colonial
policy"
Mr.. Bryan emphasized the fact that
the money question would not be lost
sight of in the coming campaign.
whether l am nominated or not in
1900 is immaterial to me- said Mr.
Bryan. Whether 1 shall ever again
be candidate for any office depends
on circumstances. 1 don't want to he
a candidate for president unless those
who think as 1 do believe that 1 can
do more for the principles of the party.
already adopted, than any one else l
would rather help somebody else than
TO be the cause of the party's defeat
If the Democratic party wants some
body to lead the retreat, they must
find some one accustomed to walking
backwards. The Democratic party will
not weaken on the money question, and
the question of Imperialism will bring
more votes out of the Republican party
in the coming campaign than in any
of the campaigns since the last can
vass of Abraham Lincoln"

Elkes Wins 25-MiIe Race.

New York, July 4.-The bicycle meet
| ing at the Manhattan Beach track this
afternoon attracted 1000 people. the
| principal event being a race between
Harry Fixes of Glens Falls, middle dis
tance champion of America, and Arthur
| Gardiner of Chicago. The distance was
twenty-five miles and the purse 81, 900.
/ The contestants were paced by motor
cycles.
Gardiner was paced by Fournier and
Henshaw. Elkes used a quad motor
riden by Crooks, Ireland, Allen and Cal
| lahan.
When the race started a strong wind
was blowing. which was directly
against the riders for an eighth of a
mile on each lap. From the start of the
race Elkes and his quad began to gain
on Gardiner, and at the first mile they
had secured an advantage of a full lap.
wind. He was continually falling be-
hind his pacing machine. while Fixes
remained close to his quad.
Despite the big advantage of one lap
obtained. J;lkes renewed his efforts and
continued to increase his lead. At the
fifteen-mile mark, Gardiner was two
and a half laps behind.
On the last lap. Elkes rode ahead of
his PAGERS and finished just one mile
ahead of Gardiner. His time was
1882 2-5, while GARDENERS time was
50:0S As.
Chicago, July Al. HGBender won
the Pullman road race in the rain to-
day. The course, owing to the heavy
rainfall, was a heartbreaking one and
the time was slow. There was much
dispute as to the exact time made by
the winner. and the judges spent a good
part of the afternoon in attempting -
reach decision.
William Couden finished second and
George J. White third. Owing to the
confusion over time, no effort TO an
nounce the time winner was made for
several hours after the race was fin
ished.
The driving rain and soggy roads
drove many of the starters from the
course, and there were many spills az
minor accidents.
Rain ushered in the race and fell with
dull persistence while the 20S starters
waited for the word to go. There were
327 entries, but many failed to appear.
on account of the dismal weather and
reports of long bad stretches of road a
few miles north of Pullman. The start
was made in front of the Leland hotel
at 1920 o'clock, when 400-pound E. S.
Marcus. the only eight minute man in
the bunch, shot ponderouSly south on
Michigan boulevard. At 1928 the
scratch men, among them w. b. Fer

was Charles Merz, who was Blum's
