Six Day Bicycle Rider May Die
as Result of a Spill at
Garden.
NINE O'CLOCK SCORE.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10:-In a spill
which took place on the high bank at
the northeast end of the Garden
track. shortly before six o'clock to-
day, Hugh MacLean, who is teamed
with Bobby Walthonr in the six
day bicycle race, which started at six
minutes past twelve o'clock today,
was SO seriously injured that he may
not be able to continue in the race.
His collar bone vas broken and his
head injured. More than 5000 per-
sons witnessed the accident, several
of the women present becoming hys-
terical. The accident took place
after a series of sprints, lead by Stol
and Root and was due to the high
speed at which the riders were going.
At twenty minutes after eight
o'clock McLean's condition was such
that he was taken to the New York
Hospital, where 1t was said that he
had probably a fracture Of the skull.
1t is feared he may die. Walthour,
McLean's partner, as soon as he
heard the news, began to increase his
pace in an attempt to gain a lap so
that he might secure the privilege of
laying off for four hours and then
when another rider was injured he
could pair up with the 1atter's part
ner and the penalty of n lap which
would be imposed would leave the
new pair up with the leaders.
The bunch was rounding the east
turn and MacLean was riding high
on the bank, when suddenly he
swerved and his pedal caught one of
the posts. He was flung over the
handle bars of his machine, landing
on his head, while his bicycle turned
a complete somersault and was hurl-
ed in among the spectators, narrowly
missing injuring them. MacLean's
spill effected Rupprecht, Leon Georg-
ct, A. j. Clark and Calvin.
MacLean received a severe cut on
the right side of his head, in which
DR.. Kramer took several stitches.
Walthour was called from his bed
and hustled to the track. He will
ride until the doctors can determine
whether MacLean will be able to con-
tinue or not.
None of the other riders was in
Jured. tt
Matt" Downey, of Boston, a few
minutes later slipped from his wheel
and received a bad fall. He secured
another wheel and continued.
From six O'Clock until almost eight
the crowd was kept in a turmoil of
excitement by the sprints of Walt
hour, Breton and Bedell. The crowd
enjoyed itself to it's hearts content,
and with so much entertainment re-
fused to go home.

Killed at Valley City
Attempt to Arrest Some Hold-up Thugs Resulted in
His Shooting. Little Clue to the
Identity of Murderer

Valley City, n. D., Aug. 2S.-Police-
man III. M. Personius of this city was
shot and instantly killed at an early
hour this morning by hold-up thugs.
Early last evening some men held
up the Northern Pacific crew of the
Cooperstown train in the Sanborn
yards. The highwaymen then jumped
an east bound freight train.
The operator at Sanborn called up
the operator here and told Of the crime
and asked that the Valley City police-
men be notified. Word was sent them
and Policemen Personius and Swanson.
the night men, and Chief Burt and a
citizen, named Dan Moore, went to the
west side of the yards about | o'clock
to meet the train which was pulling
in.
Personius and Moore were on one
side of the car and Burt and Swansea
on the other. Personius caught one
man who crawled out of a car and
turned him over to Moore, while he
continued to advance some distance
ahead of Moore and the prisoner
Personius saw an open car and flash

KILLED HIS FATHER
TERRIBLE CRIME REPORTED IN
SPOKANE, WASH.
Leading Citizen Killed by His 17-Year
Old Son, Who Removed the Body in
a WheeIbarrow and Dumped it
Against Some Rocks.

Spokane. Wash, Aug. 2S- The body
Of James f. Sloane. a pioneer merchant
Of this city, was found today behind a
pile of rocks in an alley near his home.
An investigation proved that he was
murdered in his room shortly after
midnight, his body being loaded into
a wheelbarrow, trundled to the alley
and dumped against the rocks. Sidney
Sloane, the 17-year- old son of the
murdered man, was arrested, broke
down and confessed. He said he slew
his father with an ak in the hope of
getting $500 which he thought his
father carried.

BY the time he reached Personius
the latter was gasping his last.
He had been shot twice once in the
mouth and once almost in the center
of the breast bone. Either of the
wounds would have been fatal.
One other man was caught but
neither of the prisoners are the man
who did the shooting, though they may
be those implicated in the hold-up az
Sanborn. Eleven other men were ar
rested at Casselton on the same train
and will be brought here as the brake
men held up at Sanborn may be able
to identify them.
There was no description secured Of
the man who sprang into the darkness
at the time Personius was shot. He
was seen by Moore but little more than
the moving form could be distinguish
ed.
1t looks as if it will be an extremely
difficult matter to get the right man
and convict him of the shooting.
There seems to be hoodoo on VAL
ley City policemen. Some time ago
Officer Fleming was shot in the foot
in attempting to arrest men on the
500 and amputation was necessary.
There are some bad men making this
locality their headquarters so they can
get out on botk the Northern Pacific
and the 500 roads and the officials
here are determined to make a clean
up now. This locality will not be COM
Portable for the toughs for some time.

RROTHER-I -IN-LAW.

New York, Aug. 2S.--The horrible
wounds found on the dead body of

struggle were visible and the police
conclude that the woman had been at

face was the imprint of bloody hand.

that the police believe the marks must
have been left by the murderer.
James Moore, who passed as the
husband of the woman, maintains that
he is innocent. He told the police
that he left the house in Second
street at o'clock last night and went
to a Bowery saloon, where he remain
ed until o'clock this morning.
The police inquiries at the saloon.
developed the information that Moore
had been there until just before 10
o'clock when he left
Lodgers in the Second street house
told the police that Moore returned
home at about 10 o'clock and that he
did not go out again afterwards.
The murdered woman before her
marriage to the prisoners brother, was
Annie Fitch. After her husbands death
she went rapidly down the scale of
life
Moore, the prisoner, is in an advanc-
ed stage of consumption. He has a
wife and two children living hardly
