SIX-DAY RIDER is DOPED
TO FIT HIM FOR THE RACE
Barclay Continues in the Race While
Suffering From Broken Rib :.
and BruiSeS


NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Nearly all the
riders in the six-day bicycle race
showed evidence of strain at daylight
to-day. The sole topic Of discussion
was the show of pluck made by w. C.
Barclay, who, rather than break his
contract with the management, con-
tinued to ride while suffering from a
broken rib and numerous bruises re-
ceived in fall shortly before mid
night. Barclays pain was so great
that he could NOT reach out his hand
to take food from his trainers while
riding. His helpers announced with
out any attempt at concealment that
they had given him large doses of
what they termed dope" before he
returned to the track
Franz Krebs did all he could to re-
lieve his partner by returning to the
track frequently. This rapidly sapped
his strength and he, too, was forced to
lose some laps.
At $50 o'clock Barclay and Rettich
retired from the race. Barclay had
then ridden nearly four hours after re-
ceiving his injuries. He was half car
ried to his quarters. Rettich's part
ner, Gougoltz teamed with Franz
Krebs, Barclays partner. This left
but twelve teams in the race. The
score of the leaders at midnight stood:
Leander and Butler. Walthou and
Munroe, Newkirk and Jacobson, Be
dell brothers, Contenet and Breton,
Bowler and Fisher, Root and Dorland,
and Krebs and Peterson. 1853 miles 6
laps; Keeegan and Moran, 1853 miles .

KUNNEcKE HELD FOR MURDER
investigation shows that He May he
N for Similar Crime
in Idaho.

PIERRE, SD, March 3~0.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-on account Of the dangerous cross
ing on the ice the preliminary hearing In
the case of the State against William Kun
necke, charged with the murder Of And
rev Demler in Stanley county, will not be
held Saturday next. The inquest over the
remains OF Demler was held at Fort Pierre
this morning. the investigation showing q
bullet hole directly through his head and
a shotgun wound through his neck, the
latter evidently having been fred near the
victim, as the clothing showed powder
burns. The verdict Of the coroners jury
was to the effect that Demler came to his
death from said gunshot wound supposedly
inflicted by Kunnecke.
A telegram wat received at this city today
from Boise, Idaho, stating that William
Kunnecke was under suspicion OF a murder
in that city about three years age, when
he suddenly left that place. An investiga-
tion OF the record Of the man William Kun
necke, in jail here on the charge OF murder
Of Andrew Demler, shows he left Boise
about three years ago. going to Germany
where he stayed but a short time. and re-
turned to this country. going first to Spear
fish, and coming from there to his present
ranch at Cottonwood Creek, The indica-
ions point to his being the same mar
wanted in Idaho. 1t now appears that a
man named st. icon, or st. John, whc
worked for Kunnecke. disappeared about q
year ago, but as he had no relatives the
matter was soon forgotten and no investi-
cation was made.
