TROUBLE AT EAST ST. LOUIS
Shortly before midnight Saturday riot
occurred in the extreme eastern part OF
East st. Louis, resulting in the killing
of Clifford Stanley, of st. Louis, men,
Der of the naval reserves, and the arrest
of John S. Bratton, well known as a
breeder of fine horses. Word was re-
ceived in East st. Louis that gang was
cutting the levee at Winstanley Park,
near the Bratton stock farm, in the ex-
treme eastern portion of the city. a
crowd rushed to the scene, and riot
followed, which resulted in company
of naval reserves being hurried to the
SPOT. More than 100 shots were fired,
and after quiet had been restored it WAS
found that Clifford Stanley, a member
of the naval reserves, had been killed.
The trouble is said to have resulted from
an attempt to cut the levee to let the
water out of Bratton's stock farm $.
Bratton was taken into custody and hur-
ried away, as threats were made to lynch
him. He is wealthy man, and is well
known throughout the country as a turf
man and breeder of fine horses. 1t is
not known that the levee was cut upon
! his orders.

WOMAN KILLED WITH AXE.-Five
boarders were examined in Middle
field, Conn, Saturday and cross-examined
in an attempt to throw light on the
brutal murder of Mrs. Smith, who was
found lying on the kitchen floor by one
of the boarders when he returned from
his work in the Rockfall Knitting Mills
shortly after O'Clock Friday night.
He stumbled over the woman's body
and ran through the village shouting
murder until he reached the factory
where Smith is employed and told him
that his wife was dead Mrs. Smith
had been dead several hours. She was
25 years old and childless. All day she
remained alone in a small house 400
feet back from the road, and not within
a quarter of a mile of other houses,
while her husband and five boadefs
were working in the mill. She daily
brought her husbands dinner to the
factory at o'clock and he continued to
work till s. Friday night her husband
WOuQeTeu dl uST dDSCuSCs AANi hSNN
was nearly severed from her body, aud
an axe found near by dripping with
blood furnished clew to the instrument
with which the deed was committed.
The woman was evidently surprised, and
after she tried to escape was struck a
terrific blow from the side and rear by
the axe which struck her under the right
jaw and cut the spinal column in two.
Death must have been instantaneous.
There were no evidence of struggle
and there is no clew that either robbery
or outrage was the motive. All of the
parties who live in the house are Poles
and hoard their savings in trunks.
There were several hundred dollars
hidden in the house and none of it was
disturbed. All the boarders are sup
posed to have been at work in the
factory all the afternoon.

THE COMING MILL.

The approach of the heavyweight
championship battle between james }.
.Jefries and Jim Corbett has again
brought up the question as to whether
there is a man who can down the cham
pion. All of the prominent heavy
weights have had crack at the big
boilermaker and they have one after the
other gone down before the heavy wal
lops of this huge giant from the west.
Ever since Jefries won the champion
ship from Bob Fitzsimmons at Coney
Island followers of pugilism have been
irving to figure out what kind OF an
individual would succeed in dethron-
ging the champion. Since that memora-
BILE battle Jeffries has met all comers,
hut none was successful in Wrestling from
him the coveted title. Among Jeifres'
victims-that is, aspirants who have
tried and failed are Bob f1tz-
simmons, Jim Corbett, Tom Sharkey
and Gus Rubin. Those named have
tried various punches without effect.
Jefries' vulnerable point is his stomach.
No one has ever been able to reach 1t
with sufficient force to stagger the big
champion. No one dare run into jeff
ries' extended left, for the slightest jolt,
with the power Of massive frame be-
hind it. makes it source OF constant
danger. Jeffries has an excellent de-
Tense in his extended left and his peculiar
crouching pose. Fitzsimmons failed
twice in his effort against the champion,
and now Corbett is to have his second
chance with his conqueror. f1tzslm-
mons changed his tactics very little from
the first time he met Jeffries and the sec
ond time. In his first bout he was after
Jefries all the time, continually running
into the champions stiff left, which IL
nally sent him to the floor in a heap.
Fitzsimmons was the aggressOr again IN
their return match. He landed repeat
edly on the champions jaw and seemed
to be having the best of the argument
when Jeffries got busy and put his man
out.
What tactics will Corbett use? is the
interesting question sporting men are
asking. In his last battle Corbett play
ed clever game. His only objectap-
peared to be to stay the limit, and he
almost succeeded, fighting % rounds be-
fore he was knocked out. Since that con
test Corbett has been working hard. He
has given up all his time to a systematic
course of training, which he and his
friends claim has done the former
champion a world of good. IIi'claimed
that Corbett is much stronger than be
ever was before, and that he is capable
of landing terrific punch. This would
indicate that Corbett will not be satisfied
with simply staying the limit with the
champion in an effort to get the decision
on points, but will try hard to score
knockout.

RISING GOULD POWER,

In announcing that A. c, Bird, traf-
ac director II the Chicago, Milwaukee,
{ st. Paul company, is to assume
charge of the traffic on the entire
Gould railroad system. it transpires
that George Gould has accomplished
some marvels in rail matters. though
he has done it without flourish of trum
nets. That he now has 1S,ooe miles OF
road under his control is a fact that
is somewhat startling to the average
person. Edward H. Hartman has not
SO many niles in his great system ami
even the great James J. Hill cannot
boast a greater mileage in his merger,
Quietly and yet with masterful gen
eralship, George Gould has marshalled
his financial, forces, planned his Wall
street compaigas, and prosecuted them
to successful termination. He has
been peculiarly overlooked by the SEN
sational newspaper writer's Of the per
iod who have apparently assumed that
the Hartman and the Morgan-Hiil
systems alone were worthy attention.
The Gould system comprises the Wa
bash and its eastern connections (the
Wheeling & Lake Erie, the Ann Arbor,
the Wstern Maryland, and few small
reads in the vicinity of Pittsburgl, the
Missouri Pacific, the Iron Mountain
& Southern, the International & Great
Northern; the Texas & Pacific, the Den
yer & Rio Grande, the Rio Grand Wes-
| tern. the Rio Grande Southern and the
st. Louis Southwestern. And only a
few days ago the Gould interests pur-
chased terminals in San Francisco and
Oakland that are said to exceed in
value and utility those owned by the
Southern Pacific.
Gould now reaches so far west as the
terminus of the Rio Grande roads in
Salt Lake, and is presumed by his San
1 r,.. ,,..., ,,,,rot,oSae to ontarnnIat 70 i'm
| mediate extension to the bay city. He
has been also credited with the inten-
ton Of building into Oregon, and even
so far north as Puget sound.
These extensions would not involve
such immense expenditures as to con-
stitute a bar to their accomplishment.
Far, were they built, George Gould
would be the most powerful factor in
the traffic world. He would have ex-
tended tine ramificati0ns Of his won
derful system TO touch the continents
extrenities at the northeast Through
the wabash's eastern connections), the
southeast Through the Texas and Pa
cifc,, the southwest Through the line
from Salt Lake to San Franclsco), ant
the northwest Through the Oregon anc
Puget sound lines).
II is a dream of railway conques
that is not all dream, but that seemi
TO be probable of realization, and tn
most significant phase Of the who'll
matter IS that George Gould has dom
h all this so quietly as to have beei
almost forgotten by the general pub
i lie.
