In the darkness Of lonely country
road. Joha w. Bate. Jy, professional
chauffeur ana son of wealthy man,
prominent in the automobile world. was
slain the other Night The scene was
on road paralleling the Joliet electric
line. two and a half miles southeast of
Lemont III. There Bate was found lean

tomobile with bullet wound in the back
Of his head. Tho automobile had been

seat.
carefully laid scheme il believed by
many to have preceded the murder. So
luton of the midnight crime, presenting
elements of mystery worthy the genius of
a Sherlock Holmes, seemed TO battle the
efforts of the police. That young Bate
was the victim of bank robbers, an angry
passenger on a pedestrian was advanced.
The woman motive was taken by Morris
Stokes. employed with Bate, who says
that for weeks Bate had been receiving
gushing love letters from an infatuated
society woman who had ridden with him.
An unsigned letter found upon the body
evidently had been written by a Tilted
woman.
The police theory was that two men
planning bank robbery tried to force
Bate to carry them to Joliet and that he
rebelled. This rebellion, in the minds of
the police, determined the safe blowers
to make way with n man who had be-
come dangerous SO them. Therefore, af-
ter a bitter quarrel. they shot and killed
the chauffeur while he was bending over
his steering apparatus. 1t is urged in
opposition to this theory that the rob-
bers and murderers did not denude the
machine of Identification evidence-the
number 2IS Daniel Canary, Bates en-
pioyer, after he had heard all the de-
;a'is, supported this theory.
Opponents of the desperate theory con-
tended that Bate was slain by some one
over whom he had almost run his ma
chine This is the view taken by the
coroner of VIII county, who contends
that Bate had been running his automo-
bile recklessly. had probably lost his way
after taking a fare to Lemont and mar
rowly escaped killing a pedestrian.
Everybody knows the residents of this
locality are quick enough TO shoot" said
the coroner's assistant 'and it requires
no big stretch of the Imagination to find
farmer of this neck of the woods pull
ing out gun and taking shot at an
automobile which had nearly run over
him."
1t is believed that the chauffeur was
shot while the machine was still in mo-
ton and that the person who fired the
shot experienced difficulty in bringing
the machine to standstill.

SETTLING A MEXICAN STRIKE
Agitators Placed Under Arrest at the
First Signs of Trouble.

Agitators Placed Under Arrest at the

Strikes are unknown in the Next
can mines,' said DR.. Frank j. Tous-
SAINT last night in speaking about condi-
Trims in Mexico, where he spends con-
siderable of his time. while down on
my recent trip to Huepac, Sonora, l
heard of an attempt to strike. The
men, urged on by number of agita-
tors, formulated a protest against their
hours and wages and threatened to go
out on strike if their demands were
not complied with. The operators
scarcely had time to look over the de-
mands made by their men when word
came from the government in Mexico
City to arrest the agitators immediate
ly. Those who hailed from the States
were unceremoniously deported and
the Mexican miners, who had been led
by these unionizers, went ba tx to their
work, or to speak more properly, they
continued their work, as they had not
yet quit work.
ITO get a mining claim in Mexico is
the easiest thing In the worldi all you
have TO do is 70 find some stone, tree
or other mark, chen draw an imaginary
line around~as much of a tract as you
want and then make your denounce-
ment. THIS costs you $3.50. A sur

to about SO fer parcel of land the

be paid annually and as long as you
do this you will be considered the own
