'FOOTPADS FATALLY
SHOOT VICTIM
John Keller Makes a Brave Re-
Observation-Disclosures
Robbery.

Because John Keller resisted two
highwaymen when they attempted to
rob him last night in the 500 yards, at
Minneapolis. one of the footpads shot
him, infiicting wounds that will prob
ably prove fatal.
Keller, who claims New York as his
home, jumped from west bound
freight train shortly before IL o'clock
When crossing the lonely freight yard
he was accosted by two men. who COM
manded him to throw UP his hands,
reinforcing the verbal instructions by
poking a revolver in the victims face.
The man resisted and attempted to
make a getaway, but before he had
run any distance he was overtaken by
the desperadoes. who beat him over the
head with the butt end of the revolver.
Enraged with pain. Kelley madly turn
ed upon the men. He had much the
best of the three cornered fight until
one of tie robbers opened fire on the
man who had SO bravely defended him.
SELF
The bullet entered Keller's abdomen.
He fell unconscious to the ground, and
was left to die by the two thugs, who
tried to perpetrate the hold-up.
A yard Waterman. who heard the
shooting, found Keller and called the
city hospital ambulance. The injured
man was taken to the city hospital,
where an examination showed that his
wound Is likely to prove fatal. The
highwaymen made good their escape,
and at 2:30 o'clock this morning had
not been apprehended by the police.
Keller was unable to give a good de-
scription of the men.

Driven Machine Too Fast


Carl D. Luce, son Of w. D. Luce, Of
the Hampshire Arms, is under arrest
charged with having driven his auto
mobile at a speed of twenty-f five miles
an hour on Lake Of the Isles boule-
ward.
Luce is said to be the man who
frightened the team of F. C. Robin
son on July 81, so that the horses ran
away and wrecked the rig. Five per-
sons were injured. Mr.. Robinson and
his daughter were badly hurt, H. c..
Reynolds, who was with the party. had
his collar bone broken, and Paul Rob-
inson, the son of Mr.. Robinson, had a
compound fracture of the skull The
last named is still in a dangerous con-
dition at the hospital.
Patrolman Cunningham, of the Fifth
precinct police, arrested Luce. He
swears that the automobile was going
faster than twenty five miles an hour.
and as the boulevard speed is limited
to fifteen miles an hour the arrest was
made.
The case Of Luce was continued un-
til Aug 6. The young man denies re-
sponsibility for the Robinson accident
and says he will produce proof of his
innocence.

the meanest man in the world was

Olson became acquainted with Mer-

travelling representative of a soap COM
pany. Olson went to dance In WI

who combines the intellectually of the
Pole with the physical destinations of
the Spaniard, and made such a hit
with Olson that he proposed Johnny
on the Spot, and was accepted on the
same spot by Mercedes because she
desired to evade a marriage with
Winona man who had been making
love to her for seven years on the
strength of a butcher shop that did
a paying business. The butcher was
not a bad fellow. but he hardly filled
the Spanish ideal, having no romance

that the chiefest object lin life of a

CHINESE EDITOR
GIVES LIFE FOR
HIS PRINCIPLES
Shen Chen, Reformer, IS Most
BarbarousIy Beaten to Death
b, Order of the Dowager Em-
press as Warning to Others.

PEKIN, Aug. s1.-Shen Chen, a jour-
nalist of Pekin, was executed yester-
day. According to the official report
of the execution, Chen was beheaded,
but it became known tonight that this
report was false and that the con-
demned man was beaten to death in
accordance with special instructions
issued by, the dowager empress, who
desired to make an example OF the
journalist with which to terrify other
reformers.
The incident is declared to be the
most horrible that has occurred in
China since the measure of 1900.
The. killing occurred in the court
yard of the yamen of the board
of punishment. The victim was beat
en- with bamboo rods for two hours,
from 4 to o'clock in the afternoon,
the flesh of his back, arms and legs
being torn to ribbons. After life had
apparently become extinct the execu-
TONERS, fearing that Chen had merely
tainted and might revive, twisted a
rope tightly around his neck and left
the body in this condition until this
morning. No one except officers was
permitted to see the prisoner after his
arrest, all information regarding his
condition being withheld.
The evidence at the trial was SO
weak that Chen would probably have
been acquitted had he not boldly pro-
claimed his principles throughout and
his willingness to die for them. He
frankly admitted the charge that he
had attempted to organize rebellion
at Hankow in 1900 and boosted that he
had always advocated the assassination
of the Manchus in order to rid the
country of the dynasty.
Despite the precautions taken by the
officials the prisoner struggled from his
cell farewell message in the form OF
a poem in which he glorified reform and
exhorted his colleagues to continue the
work.
Chen was sixty years Of age and had
many friends among the foreign resi-
dents of Pekin. These friends describe
his as an educated, high minded man.
The affair has created intense feeling
in the foreign colony and a strong SEN
timent against surrendering the
Shanghai reformers to Chinese juris-
diction.

FIND ONE MORE BODY.
Workmen unearth Second Corpse In
Grading Alley.

Residents in the neighborhood of Tween
ty-third avenue north and Girard are
somewhat puzzled over the finding of
the remains of two children in that vicin-
ity during the past few days.
The first body was found Wednesday
afternoon by some workmen who are en-
and Irving avenues, and appeared to be
that of ten-year-o girl, who had been
buried at least twenty-five years. The
second body was found Thursday and
seemed to be that of a three-year- old boy,
who had been buried nearly as long as
the girl.
There Is some mystery about these
bodies, for, although they appear to have
been buried in collins, none of the early
residents of that, neighborhood can re-
member that there ever was a ceme-
terry there.
