PUCILIST is SHOT
Joe WaIcotfs Fighting Days
Are Over

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 1S.-Nelson c.
Hail. colored, was killed and Joe Wal
colt, the colored pugilist, was shot
through the right hand by the aeci-
dental discharge of a revolver in the
hands of Walcott early today. The
accident occurred in the anteroom of
Union Park hall, on Washington street,
South End, where a dance was in prog
ress. Walcott was placed under ar
rest and later removed to the city
hospital.
The sound of the firing caused a
panic in the dance hall. Before Wal
colt had chance to explain the shoot
ing the crowd was in an uproar, and it
was some time before the police could
restore order. They then placed Wal
cott under arrest and held several 9TH
er persons as witnesses. Mrs. Hall
tainted when she heard the shot and
this so added to the excitement that
the pugilist narrowly escaped rough
handling.
It is believed that Walcott will never
be able to fight again. Walcott said
that he was exhibiting a magazine re-
volver of large calibre to Hall when
from some unknown cause it was dis
charged.

WALL STREET is HOT
Eastern Section of the Country
Speculation Mad


Special to The Globe
NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Excitement in
the stock-market continued today.
Wall street and apparently the whole
eastern section of the country seem to
have gone speculation mad. The pub
lie has entered the market with llur-
rah. Prices mounted today to high
records for the year. Wire houses did
the largest business done in at least
two years. Orders came from out of
town in heavy volume
There are conservative brokers and
others who think that politics has
much to do with the rise, and that after
the election big men will abandon the
movement. Vice President Vanderlip,
of the National City bank, has gone to
st. Louis, where he is expected to
make a very bullish speech. Wander
lip is known in Wall street as the
mouthpiece of the Standard Oil party.
He is supposed to express its views on
any financial situation or condition.
Two years ago he predicted big slump
in a speech made to commercial body
in North Carolina

YOUNG WOMAN BURNS
ANOTHER TO DEATH
They Quarrel Over Respective Merits
of Their Husbands

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Mrs. Nellie
Mccarthy was burned to death at 27
East Sixty street tonight and
Mrs. Annie Martin is, under arrest,
charged with the homicide. The ira
gedy is said to have resulted from a
quarrel between the two women over
the respective merits of their hus-
bands.
Annie Martin, who is only twenty
two years of age, admitted that she
had flung the lamp in the other wom-
ans face. The lamp struck the woman
squarely, breaking into fragments and
deluging her clothes with burning oil.
With a shrek Of agony Mrs. Mccarthy
groped her way into the hall. Behind
her pool of oil blazed into flame and
spread gradually over the floor. Mrs.
Mccarthy pounded against the door of
an opposite apartment and when its
occupant opened the door the woman
stood there for a moment. a pillar of
fire, and then dropped to the floor, dy-
ing in few moments.

terrible for it's studied, conservative
delivery.
Mr.. Lind eschewed national issues,
though he said that every good Demo-
crat would vote for Judge Parker. He
at once launched into a discussion of
state issues that is destined to be
the turning point in the campaign.
His reference to the disfranchisement
of a whole congressional district by
the Republican state convention
brought applause, and his reference
to the Republican judiciary ticket and
the counting out of Judge Lovely by
the convention created a furore. But
his treatment of Ray w. Jones was
positively sensational. After review
| ing the timber depredations of Jones
company and the resultant successful
suit he said:
His nomination showed the utter
moral responsibility of that conven-
tion.' Then while the applause was
dying away, he asked pertinent ques-
ton. What will be my plight he
asked, "and what will be the position
of my friend, Congressman Stevens,
when next winter we go before con-
gress and ask for an appropriation to
prosecute these timber trespassers, IF
he is elected? Will the Pioneer Press
please advise me in the mornings is
sue what to say? Will we. say we
elected this convicted timber thief

cause he represents the highest ideal
of the Republican party of Minnesota 2

and solely because he is on the Repub
lican ticket. repeat, it makes me
shudder when think of it,"
TELLS OF DUNN's ERROR
His discussion of Mr.. Dunn was
wholly impersona1; he proposed to
criticise him purely on his record as
state auditor. He detailed his con-
nection with the Buckman matter and
then he touched off the bomb that ex-
ploded the Duluth & Iron Range land
grant claims of Mr.. Dunn. He was
detailing the error in Mr.. Dunn's Office
by which $4,000 acres of land were ex-
cluded from the record in the courts.
and by which the state lost the land
from its institutional grants. A voice
in the audience interrupted:
Didn't he know it was there?" the
voice demanded. Wasn't the record
there?'
I'll not. charge him with knowing"
Mr.. Lind replied. "The records were
there. I'll get to that" and he went
into the entire story with the result
that Mr.. Dunn's claims to credit in
connection with the compromise were
shown to the audience to be preposter-
GUS. And when he had finished his
discussion Of the land grants he said
very simply, and very naturally:
'This is the record of Dunn. This is
not idle talk. It is taken from the rec
ords. I admire Mr.. Dunn for one thing
more than an another. He is a man
of magnificent courage. Can you inn
agine any other man in the state who
would have the courage to take credit

FRIEND Of DR.. AMES
HAS LOST HER JOB
Expressed to the Jurors the
Hope They Would "3e Good
to the Doctor"

Miss Edwards is no longer in charge
of the cigar stand at the Fifth street
entrance of the court house. Friday,
when the Ames jury returned from din
ner and stopped at the stand for the
purpose of purchasing some cigars, she
said in the presence and hearing of
one of the deputy sheriffs, as the twelve
men weres about to go to their rooms.
Please be good to Dr. Ames.
The matter was reported to the court
and yesterday the pretty young woman
found herself out of a job. She dis
claimed any Intentional wrong. She
said the deputies permitted the jurors
to stand around and persons to talk to
them, and is of the opinion if any one
was at fault it was the deputies.

Extensive Drug Substitution
Frauds Are Alleged


NEW YORK, Oct. 17-In asking for
the release on a suspended sentence of
Clarence r. Lyon. drug clerk, who
had pleaded guilty to selling a bogus
article, representing it to be genuine,
George Battle, counsel for the COM
plainants, said that Lyons had given
information which probably would re-
suit in startling disclosures in connee-
ton with the alleged drug frauds in
this city. Mr.. Battle said that Lyons
already had given information about
the persons responsible for nearly all
the limitations of well known drug
articles in the country.
IF he keeps his word, as I believe he
will" said he, ''one of the most
startling announcements affecting drug
stores in this city and county will be
made in a few days. The people con-
eerned are some of the biggest, most
respected and responsible in the 5usi-
ness"

Before an audience of $500 people
at the Peoples church last night Con-
gressman John Lind, of Minnesota,
former governor of Minnesota, deliv-
cred a political speech which removes
any lingering doubt Of the defeat of
r. c. Dunn for governor and the elec-
ton Of john A. Johnson.
In a carefully prepared address,
which he read from manuscript that
there might be no mistake in dates or
figures, Congressman Lind Negotiated
Mr.. Dunn's record as state auditor, on
which the Republican candidate bases
his claims to election as governor.
Congressman Lind declared that his
exposure of Mr.. Dunn's claims was
excusable, for in his speeches Mr.. Dunn
had connected him With some of the
transactions for which he either ex-
cused himself or sought credit.
The speaker made plain the fact that
he had absolutely no connection with
the Buckman settlements for trespass
except to refer the nantter to the then
attorney general for settlement. He
flayed Ray w Jones. Of Minneapolis.
the Republican candidate for lieutenant
governor. He explained the claims of
Mr.. Dunn to credit for saving TO the
state $4,000 acres of land from the
land grant of the Duluth & Iron Range
railroad, and he showed Mr.. Dunn in
no enviable light.
The speech was strong and con-
vincing effort. It's delivery was calm
and dispassionate; at times the air Of
the speaker approached the judicial.
The language was temperate, but the
facts incontrovertible. Occasionally the
great audience was bubbling over with
laughter Then Mr.. Lind recalled them
to the gravity of the Indictments that
he was presenting against Mr.. Dunn,
and the part of the Republican party
which had nominated him. His hearers
felt the seriousness, of the presentment
against the Republican candidate, and
they sat silent while the arraignment
was completed.
LIND READS THE RECORD
There was no red light burning in the
streets nor marching thousands before
the meeting There was an audience
that filled all sthe 2,ble seats in the
largest auditorium III St. Paul, and
which sat through the more than hour
while Mr.. Lind was talking. There
were occasional bursts of applause, but
John Lind was not making the kind of
speech that carried his hearers to their
feet in an intensity Of party spirit. He
was reading from the record of a man
who seeks to be governor of Minnesota
on his record,
The Minnea polls con gressman ex-
ploded that record m Ia speech that
will long be Remembered as a mile
stone in Minnesota politics. He left
little of Mr. Dunn's lahms upon which
to hang a hope Of SECTION Demo-
Gratis who heard his speech were de-
lighted, Republicans tho were present
in considerable numbers, admitted that
the speech was the final stroke that
would prove the defeat of their candi-
date. and the impar3iaI public agreed

tinct loss to this community. Mr.. Wy
coff has lived in Wapello county since
the flfties, having come here from In

he was set small boy. He has been
engaged in the real estate and loaning
business in Ottumwa for twenty years,
and has record of reliability, straight
forwardness and honorable dealing of
which any man might well be proud.
Mr.. Wycoff has the high esteem of his
friends and neighbors and the conf
dence of all with whom he has had
business relations. A few months ago
when engaged in an important bust
ness transaction that took him to a
distant part of the country among
strangers. Mr.Wycoff carried with him
the following certificate signed by
prominent bankers, attorneys and
others of this city. A higher endorse
ment could not we'll be given. The
certificate reads as follows:
To whom it may concern: The
bearer of this certificate, w. B. Wy
coff. is citizen of Ottumwa, Iowa, and
has been for many years, and the I'M
dersigned have known him for the

to be willing and financially able to
meet any obligations he may have
made. (Signed.)
