The fight is the elimination of a feud
between the Rout and Tow families,
which has existed for several years.
The Routs reside at Bedford, eight

Two weeks ago at a social affair the
smouldering hostility between the two
families had been rekindled by fam
cied insult to Charles Rout by young
woman who favored one of the Tow
boys.
Within FIVE minutes from the time
the Rout boys arrived in town they
were seen approaching the booth. The
Tow brothers drew together and after
whispered conversation of a few
seconds, stood about ten feet apart
awaiting the arrival of the Routs.
Each of the five men drew a revolver
and each side advanced. all firing. The
men were not 10 feet apart when the
firing ceased and on the ground tlEee
lay dead. one dying with bullet
through his neck and one still stood
with bullet wound through his arm
and one in his side.
The crowd had scattered hastily
when the shooting began and none of
the bystanders were struck, although
over twenty-five shots were fired.
The wounded were taken to store
and their wounds dressed. The three
dead were laid side by side on the
counter to await the arrival of the COR
oner and officers from Bedford.

HIS MONEY WENT FAST
BUFFALO MAN LOSES $1,000 IN TEN
SHORT MINUTES.


New York, June 14.-That 1t Is posi-
BILE to lose $4,000 in ten minutes py
playing English faro" in New YORK;
that the police do not know where the
game was played and that the victim
may have no legal remedy. were facts
brought out, to-day in case heard
before Magistrate Mayo in the west
Side court
Frederick Warren of Buffalo was
the complainant, and the prisoner was
his friend, Peter Forestel. also of Buff
falo. The latter had a badly cut head
which he stated the complainant had
caused by striking him with a. cane.
Warren told the magistrate that
Forestel had told him that a friend OF
his had made $20,0o0,000 in Wall
street, and that the corporation which
he represented could be parted with
great deal of it's money providing
enough was in sight to play combi-
nation against the corporation. Upon
this representation, Warren says. ne
drew $4,000, the savings of a lifetime,
from a bank in Buffalo, and came to
this city.
When he reached New York last
evening, he says, Forestel took him to
a place and introduced him to seven
other members of the corporation. AL
most Immediately atgame which he af-
forwards learned was called English
faro" was proposed, and Warren was
assured he could not lose. Ten minutes
later. however. he told the magistrate,
his $4,000 had vanished across the
board. He turned upon Forestel, accus-
ed him of robbery. and struck him on
the head with a cane. He was unable
to tell ,the magistrate where the game
was played, and when Forestel told
the court that he also had played and
lost $500, the complainant was In
formed that he had no redress and the
prisoner was discharged.
You really came down from Buffalo
for the purpose of beating somebody
else" said Magistrate Mayo to War
rem, "and in that case the law does
not help you even in a civil way. That
has been decided by the Court of APP
peals. THERE'S no evidence here of
Crime and I will have to discharge the
prisoner"

IT PLEASES Mr.. BRYAN
OF PROTEST AGAINST
JUDGE PARKER
Says Party IN I'm Desperate Straits
when II VIII Nominate Man
Merely Because There IL
Nothing Against Him.

New York, June 1.-THE following
letter from william J. Bryan to M. q.
Palliser, who has called an anti-Parker
meeting was made public here today:
Lincoln, Neb.. June ., 1904.
Mr.. M. G. Palliser. New York City;
Dear Sir--I am in receipt of your
letter enclosing the call for conven-
ton of protest to be held in New York
on the goth of June. / am very glad
this step is being taken. and assume
that II is not the object of the protest.
ing convention to send contesting
delegation to st. Louis or to question
in any way the regularity of the Alba
nv convention, but merely to enter
protest on behalf of large number Of
New York voters. who believe In
honesty in politics and are opposed to
the burglarious methods which are now
being employed to foiW upon the party
a speechIess candidate. and meaning
less platform.
The argument made in favor of Judge
Parker is not that he is in any way
fitted for the position, because his Mt
ness cannot possibly be ascertaine
without a knowledge of his views OIL
public questions. The argument made
by his friends is that he can win. and
they base their belief on the fact that
as he has never said anything in con-
nection with pending questions, ne has
no record that can be used against
him. His virtues are purely negative
and his friends think 1t sufficient that
the Democrats send him forth as a
candidate with the endorsement, We
know nothing against him.
1t is the first time in recent years at
least, that a man has been urged for
so high a position on the ground that
his opinions are unknown. Surely the
Democratic party is In desperate
straits II, among all of its members,
IL cannot find a trustworthy man, who
has ever been interested enough IN
public questions to give expression 70
his opinion. In the great contest De-
tween Democracy and plutocracy, our
party should make a positive ana ag-
gressive stand, and 1t should present
a standard bearer who will infuse cour-
age and enthusiasm among the masses.
am glad that there are Democrats
in New York who are willing to regis
ter such a protest as your call sug-
xests. and l trust that the protest may
be effective at st. Louis. When 1t Is
shown. as I believe IL can be shown.
that a non-committal candidate would
not be popular with the voters, even In
New York. the Parker candidacy Will
lose its only prop. i mistake the 10y
altv and earnestness of the Democrats
who were true to the ticket In 1855
wbe nloyalty meant abuse ana ostra-
oism If they are really In favor OF
silent candidate, whose most conspic-
mons supporters have in recent years
mean more familiar with Republican
headouarters than with Democratic
headquarters .
Very truly yours.

Whenever there is an entertain

night in the week, the railway puts
on that line and the white people have
to wait for cars on other lines until
their patience is tried. When the car
comes 1t Is loaded down until there
are no seats and all because the street
railway is greedy to get the fares OF
the negroes on the negro park line:
Sunday afternoon I took my family

minutes for car while cars to the
negro park whirled by every few min

crowded going out and there was a
great crowd waiting for 1t at the e.
Women stood up in the one car pro-
vided by the street railway and fully
two car loads of people were left there.
Thirty minutes went by and a second
car came 1t, too, was crowded and
the waiting crowd at the park could
not get on. It was after dark and
some of the white crowd forced its
way on the car. l saw at least Two
white women standing up and holding
infants in their arms.
