ring Monday night, when he will meet
Benny Yanger in the wind-up of the box
ing show to be given by the American

dark horse to local critics. He has never
fought outside of his home town and has
never met a Chicago fighter, but his rec
ord puts him we'll up in the 126-pound class
His best efforts were those against Ed

Barry of Cleveland, O., who expects to
arrest DR.. Leroy S. Chadwick, hus-
band of Mrs. Chadwick, when he
lands in New York, on the charge Of
forging the name of Andrew Carnegie,
met a check in his plans when he
failed to obtain from Governor Odell
the requisition papers necessary to
permit the transportation of DR.. Chad.
wick to Ohio for trial. He called at
the executive chamber at the capitol,
but was informed by Judge John I.
Joyce, the governors pardon and requi.
sition clerk. that his papers were de.
fective in that they failed to prove
that DR. Chadwick was in the state of
Ohio on March ), 1903. when the al

Barry decided not TO try TO correct his
papers now, but to go on TO New York
and arrest DR.. Chadwick and arrange
for his requisition afterwards.
Before leaving for New York Sun
day the Cleveland sheriff telegraphed
to the executive department here ask
ing that his papers be prepared so that
there might be no delay upon his ar
rival early Monday morning. When
the telegram was received Governor
Odell was at his home in NeWburgh
and the message was given TO his par

telephoned the governor and received
authority from him TO deliver the de-

ber and presented to Judge Joyce the
recuisition papers signed by Governor
Herrick of Ohio asking an eXtradition
warrant TO enable him to take his
prisoner out of New York state.
When the sheriff learned that his
proof was defective there was at first
some talk of his returning in person
to Ohio for the purpose of getting the
corrections After further consulta-

to telegraph to have the affidavits pre-
pared and sent TO him in New York.
He said this was a purely formal mat

will consult with the New York city

The two trains were respectively the
west and eastbound from st. Louis

high rate OF speed when the crash
came.
The ST. Louis-Louisville and the St.

The cars of the eastbound train were

of the westbound train were only par
TALLY telescoped and the passengers
escaped without serious injury,
A wrecking crew ana rellef party

Water was carried in rain coats and

Several sars We're burned before the
fire was exeinguished. Each train car
