CHASE GIVEN UP.
Pursuers of Bessie Francis Quit
Hunt in Disgust
Owing to Report That He Was
Induced to Murder
By Whites Who Wanted Woman
Out Of the Way.

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. 31-The kill
ing of Miss Mary Henderson at Colum-
bus, Mo, took a sensational turn today.
At 1:30 this afternoon the chase begun
afresh this morning near Strasburg for
Bessie Francis, the negro for whom
armed men have been securing two
counties for the past three days and
nights. was practically given up, the
bloodhounds refusing to take the scent.
and it was limited broadly that the
murderer had made good his escape by
the aid of white persons.
A special to the Star from Strasburg
says:
Many of the original members Of the
posse have given up in disgust, and
have discarded their guns, saying they
regret that the search was ever begun.
There are dozens of men in Johnson
county who believe that Francis was
paid to murder Miss Henderson by
white persons who wanted to get her
out of the way. So convinced are many
men bers of the posse that Francis has
escaped by the aid of white persons
that they refuse to take further part in
the effort to catch the murderer. If he
is caught he will not be burned at once
but will be tortured for the purpose of
making him tell what he knows about
reports that white persons desired Miss
Henderson to be gotten out of the way.

New York, Aug 31.-Today was set
for the formal opening of the fail
racing season in the metropolitan dis
trict, and thousands of persons f1ocked
to the Sheepshead Bay course of the
Coney Island Jockey club to see the
rich and classic F'uturity decided. With
all the conditions well nigh perfect
a bright, clear day and a fast track-a.
record breaking crowd was expected.
This was the fourteenth renewal of
the Futurity. It is a produce stake,
mares being nominated in foal- The
starting fee is $3.50, and the association
adds to the entrance and starting fees
$3.50. The race was to be run today
for the last time over the old Futurity
course which is 170 feet short of six
furlongs.
Only two fllies have won in the his
tory of the race-Butterfiy in 1894, and
L'Aloutte in 1897. Many think Blue
Girl will make the third one to score
today.
Eighteen of the best youngsters in
training were announced as probable
starters today. The field was a high
class one, and it was decidedly an opea
race. In the hope of private trials
Fly Wheel and Yankee had the fastest
Fly Wheel yesterday from J. z. Mad
den, so that his colors might be rep

horsemen expect to see him close up at
the finish. After a close study of the
race about eight or ten horses stood

Baron.
Among the remainder, however, were
De Reszke, a colt of unquestioned
class; James r. Keene's Port Royal;
Lux Casta, who was beaten only a
head in her first start by Goldsmith and
other good ones. Baron ran a remark

States hotel stakes at Saratoga. He
was fourth to Mastermau, Dixie Line
and CaughnaVEagas all heads apart
Still this is hardly good enough unless
he has improved since then, which is

one of the most astute horsemen of the
day, kept Yankee, but sold Fly Wheel
and Heno. 1t is quite probable that he
retained what he considered the best
