Rival Claimants to Valuable Chicago Property Engage in Pitched " Battle, and One Man is
 Killed,

Chicago, Feb. I1.--During fight wi.f Winchester rifles this evening between followers of rival claimants to property lying along the lake shore drive, the mos' aristocratic boulevard in Chicago. FranS Kirk. watchnan for one of the claim ants, was shot through the head. sustain ing wound from which he died few hours iater. The property in dispute con sists of made land lying east of the lake shore drive and between it and Lake Michigan. Captain George w. Streeter has erected several small shanties upon this ground and claims that inasmuch as it was not originally included in the Governmt mt surveys of the State of Illi- nois, 1t does not belong to the State. but was public property open to settlement.
 Between Streeter and his men and the watchmen employed by the property owners along the lake shore drive there have been frequent fights.
 Tonight Henry Cooper, a lawyer. who has been active In his opposition to Streeter. accompanied by Policeman O'Meliey. went upon the ground and was attacked by Streetor. who knocked him down with the butt of revolver. Sew eral of Streeters followers covered O'Mal- ley with their weapons and he was order ed to leave or be shot.
 Shortly after Cooper and OMalley had left the ground a pitched battle broke out between three of Streeter's followers William McManners. William Blocki and John Hoeldtke. and two watchmen enn- ployed by Cooper. Frank Kirk and Sam ,uel Portorus. Kirk and Portorus were standing just outside a small shanty of their own and one of the first shots fired struck Kirk in the top of the head. Por- torus entered the shanty and returned the fire of the Streeter men with Win chester.
 The firing ceased as the police appeared and @ cordon or officers was at once thrown around the, shanty in which Mo- Manners. Blocki and Hoeldtke were. They barricated the door and threatened to kill the first ofiicer who approached. Headed by Captain Revere. squad of policemen began to batter in the door while the others stood waiting with drawn revolvers for the first shot from within. Because of the entreaties of Mrs. Mo- Manners, who had been inside the cot tsge throughout the fighting. the door was opened. The three men and Mrs. McManners were taken to the police sta tion.
 Returning to the building, the officers found that Streeter had barricaded the house once more. He was arrested. When he came out of the house he carried a rife and four revolvers. All persons liv- ing on the District of Lake Michigan" were placed under arrest.
 In the immediate neighborhood of the scene of tonights fight a number of Chicagos most prominent men reside, among them being ex-United States Sena- tor Farwell, O. W. Potter, Franklin Mac Veagh and Potter Palmer.

9T. ELIZABETH HOSPITAL
 It is said that the Hospital marks the ad- vance of civilization. The modern Hospital is certainly, much more than "a refuge for the sick and injured" Many of the problems of medical treatment, of surgery, etc, have been worked out within it's walls. It is the seat of all that is best in practice or in remedies, and the fact that Dr. Har- tsr's Iron Tonic is used in so many of the best hospitals is . tribute to its merit. Years ofexperience and patient trial have dsmon- strated its usefulness and reliability for convalescents, in cases of debility, old age, loss of appetite, impoverished blood, etc, and hence 1t has been generally adopted.
 Don't be fooled. New and miraculous remedies are put on the market every day, with . great noise and . bewildering lot of faked testimonials. Don't be deceived, you know that Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic is an right or it would have been crowded out of the market years ago, along with the many others that have como and gone. It has not only survived but dourished be- cause it has genuine merit.
 Dayton, Ohio, Feb. F, 1901.
 As an experiment we began using Dr.. Haftsr's Iron Tonic in St. Elizabeth Hospit- al. in tho treatment of convalescents and cases of chronic debility and have found it very efficacious. We also found 1t particu- larly valuable In treatment of senility, loss of appetite, or impoverished blood. We recommend it highly"

Will Increase British Prestige.

New York. Feb. 11.-Frederick w. Holls. member of the peace conference at The Hague and an authority on international law, read the cable dispatch from Lon lance at his home in Yonkers tonight. . That is a very important agreement" said he. 'I should say that its greatest importance is the showing the friendship between Japan and England. l should not say from the summary I have read that the alliance is necessarily directed against Russia or any other particular power. To me the alliance has the ap- pearance more of an accentuation of a very strong community interest between England and Japan than anything else. The effect of 1t will be to increase Brit ish prestige in the far East and to em- phasize the importance of Japan as one of the civilized countries of the world.
