Ride on Train With Young
Man From Truesdail, Nc.
NOTIFY THE AUTHORITIES.
Chief Desmond Details Men to
Investigate Clew to the
Double Tragedy at
Warrenton, Mo.

st. Louis detectives now feel almost as
sured that Willie Church, the adopted son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry w. Yeater. the
aged couple who were found murdered in
their home near WarrentOn, Mo-, last
Monday, came TO st. Louis after the
crime.
1t became known yesterday that Mr.. and
Mrs. Freeman Leeak of No. 1903 South
Compton avenue rode to St. Louis on the
train with a young man now almost posi-
lively identified as young Church. They
Go not know where he boarded the train,
but they first noticed him at Truesdale. a
town on the Wabash this side of Warren
ton. His nervous manner in pacing up
and down the platform while waiting for
a train to pass first attracted their at
tention.
Mrs. Leak formerly lived with her faith
er. L. Shelton, eight miles north of War
renton. and knew Church quite well. When
she saw him on the platform she at once
called her husbands attention to the fact,
but they had not then heard of the trag-
edy and paid little attention to him. The
last they remember seeing him was this
side of Gilmore, a little town about thirty
miles out of st. Louis.
When they heard of the murder they at

TO the car and seated himself near one of

when the train started he would look
about the car as if he was worried. and at
the stations we stopped at he would leave

HUNDREDS SEE ROME BURN.
Opening Night at Paine's Grand
Spectacular Entertainment.

Rome rejuvenated itself and burned again
to the familiar notes of Nero's fiddle and
the accommodating spirit of Paine's i'm
proved pyrotechnics at Handlan's Park
last night, to the qualification of many
thousand spectators within the arena.
The Roman dancing girls and the char
lot races and the performances of the Luz
cas- family, the Dam brothers. the Zenos,
the Clews, Congo and Leos, in acrobatic,
trapeze, tumbling and wrestling. were to
the entire satisfaction of the audience and
apparently to Nero himself.
IT was when the fireworks began; and
when the great balloons that sailed out
over the tops of the crowd trailing their
comet-like tails of fire hundreds of feet
over the city roofs, the ~tarantu.a rockets,
spinning out their web of golden lights
above the crowded amphitheater. the Nj

reached the height of enthusiasm. how

The performance at Handlan's will con,

that is expected in its spectacular pictures
and there are many interesting diversions
during the performance, all of which &c

the Triple A Association has a first-class
chance to win the State tennis champion

semif1nals. Gleeson easily won all matches
in the first division and will play the
winner of the final in the second division
for the State title.
Three men are still in the semifinals of
the second division. Easton and Semple
are to play to-day, the winner then being
scheduled to play Doctor Sheldon of Kan
sas City. The winner of that event will
be sent against Gleason in the final match
for the trophy. 1t is thought the meet
can be concluded to-day.
One of the best matches on the courts
yesterday was the race between Harold
Small and Gleeson in the finals of the
first division. Gleeson won the first, 6-3,
only to have Small capture the second
set, IS. In the final match. Gleeson
easily won by a score OF 6-3.

liveries, his smashing power being most
apparent in every ball. In this respect, he
is probably the strongest player in the
tournament.
Arthur Wear seems to make a speciality
of lobbing, and his work of this sort was
quite a feature. Harold Small played a
steady and consistent game throughout,
but he met a faster man in Gleeson in
the closing match Of the day.

Bread Knife and Butchers Steel
Are Used as Weapons
in Duel.
CAROTID ARTERY is SEVERED.
John Kelley Claims Gus Boyer
Assaulted Him-Injury Due
TO Accidental Clash of
Weapons.

Armed with a butchers steel and a large
bread knife, Gus Boyer. a barber, and
John Kelley, an attendant in a saloon at
Sixth and Chestnut streets. fought a brief,
but fatal duel at Z o'clock yesterday even
ing. Boyer suffered a cash that almost
severed his head from his body, and he
died at the City Hospital at II o'clock last
night.
Kelley declares that Boyer was intoxi-
Gated and leaned on dishes full of victuals
on the lunch stand of which Kelley has
charge. When requested to move Boyer
became abusive, Kelley says, and threat
ened the latter.
SEEING the steel. Boyer, it Is said, rushed
at Kelley and attempted to strike him.
The blow was parted by a knife which
Kelley was using to cut bread at the tims.
In trying to avoid another lunge,, Kelley
says. he hacked Boyer in the neck. The
long, keen blade sank deep into the flesh
and severed the carotid artery. Jef
Douglas, another employe. corroborates
Keliey's account of the cutting.
Unconscious from the great loss of
blood, Boyer was brought to the City Dis
pensary, where the arteries were TIED.
He was so weak, however. that he did
not rally after the operation, which he
un6nrwent at the City Hospital half an
hour later.
medley was arrested by Patrolman Jerry
Hickey. At the Central Police Station kel-
ley wept and declared tina he was sorry
he had injured Boyer. The fatal blow,
he said, was struck in an effort to ward
off the steel with which, he says, Boyer
attacked him.
Boyer had been in St. Louis only a week,
having come to this city from Chicago,
where he lived at No. q Rush street. He
was employed in a barber shop at No. los
North Sixth street. and boarded at No.
2316 Franklin avenue. He was "a years
