his team, when the shot was fired
that ended the life of Gholston. He
could not see very distinctly, but he
saw a man, who afterwards proved
to be Gholston, run out of the feed
stables and across the street to
Lows barn. He followed right along
after him past the feed stables, but
did not see D'Anna emerge from the
building, and is inclined to the be-
lief that he fed through the rear al
ley. He arrived at Lows stable be-
fore Gholston had expired.
When D'Anna telephoned in from
the asylum farm, he said that he
had two or thre outstanding bills in
Salem that he wished paid, and
asked that his father in Oklahoma
be requested to settle them. He had
evidently at that time contemplated
suicide.
There will be no coroner's inquest.
Coroner Clough said that he consid-
cred that it would be entirely un-
necessary to have an inquest over
either of the dead men.
No arrangements have been made
for the funeral of either man. The
body of Gholstein, the murdered
man, will be taken to his home in
this city tomorrow, and the funeral
will be held from there. The dispo-
sition of D'Anna's body will depend
on telegraphic advices from his rela-
tives in the East.
Both bodies are lying at Clough's
undertaking parlors. Great crowds
are thronging the morgue, composed
of morbidly curious people, most of
them unacquainted with either of
the dead men.

It lay like a gem on her heart

And hearkened the stores her loVn

Breathed to this blushing fowef
Then a sunbeam sped from his bon

And she leaned o'er sunsets bar

She found the tear that the sunAan

And fashioned Il into a star,
A glittering silver star.

Victories of Dead Men.
(By John Benson.)


, In the annals of sport nothing can
be more tragic than the numerous
cases where dead men have won
races or games. Several of these
incidents which happened in England
are recalled by the death OF a jockey
at the fall races at Aries this year.
The jockey, Mario Olivia, was a
well known rider and was given in
this race what was expected to be
the winning mount. His horse was
backed heavily, and the bettors were
filled with CONSERVATION TO see the
jockey reel in his saddle and fall
across the. horse about the middle OF
the course. He kept his saddle,
however, and the horse, worse than
riderless, kept the pace pluckily and
won out by a length.
Before the wondering attendants
could reach the victorious horse he
turned sharply and the jockey fell
10 the ground. He was dead OF heart
disease, and the physicians who ex-
amined him say that undoubtedly he
died at the moment he reeled in his
saddle.
Bicycle riders have been known in
several instances 10 die during a
sudden burst of speed, but the only
recorded instances of dead man
winning a race was in February,
1899, when James Somerville was
one Of the competitors in an English
race. In the last lap there was a
close finish and the weary riders ex-
erted themselves TO the utmost.
somerville spurted into the leader
ship 25 yards from the tape, and
then was seen TO lurch forward over
the handle bars and lose his footing
on the pedals.
The impetus OF the machine was
sufficient 10 carry IL across the tape
half length ahead of Somerville's
nearest rival. While the shouts and
plaudits of the crowd were ringing
In the air somerville pitched to the
ground, dead. In this case also the
doctor who examined him said that
the race was won by corpse. as the
rider must have expired before the
tape was reached.
In the running race between Car
ter, a pugilist, and John Power, a
Lancaster sprinter, nearly a hundred
years ago, the finish was most tragic.
The race was over a mile course, and
so eolsely did the two men pace one
another that the finish was desper-
ate. Within the last SO yards Carter
made a mad dash and rushed ahead

In few feet OF the goal he STUN

He won the race. but he never knew
IL. When picked up he was dead.

than Kentneld. was beaten by
