MAN FOUND
ALONG ROAD
WAS FROZEN.
Investigation Into the BrOWntOwn
Affair Reveals the Facts
Well Known Character.
HAD A PARALyTIC STROKE
apoolal to the RvEMINa NEws:

NEW BRUNSWICK. Feb. 19;--
DR.. Beekman, of South River, made
an examination of the body of James
Donnelly, the man found dead along
the road there yesterday morning
and thought to have been murdered.
Yesterday afternoon the body was re-
moved to the towA hall.
DR.. Beekman found that the man
had been frozen to death, there being
nothing to indicate that he had been
murdered. There were some gashes
on his face, but the doctor did not
think any of them or all of them
were sufficient to have caused death.
He was of the opinion that the man
had parlytic stroke while walking
along the road way and froze to
death before aid reached him.
Donnelly had worked for former
Judge H. H. Brown and 1t is said
that he saw him along the road Sun
day night and remarked that If he
did not reach shelter he would freeze
to death before morning if he contin-
ued in his condition to remain out
all night on the highway.
The investigation OF the circum-
stances connected with his death re-
suited in its being learned that DON
nelly and friend has two quarts of
whiskey or other liquor Sunday and
that the two men got away with all
Of it, 1t is not strange that Donnelly
soon succumbed when taken sick with
the temperature as near zero as 1t
was Sunday night.
Donnelly was nearly sixty years of
age and noted character in that
neighborhood.

MUSTPUT men
AT CROSSINGS

The Board of Aldermen have decid-
cd to take some action to compel the
railroad companies to place gatemen
at the crossings all night.
At the council meeting last night
Alderman Stacey said that the COM
panies have been notified in regard
to the matter number of times and
that they have paid no attention to
the requests. On account OF the nu-
merous accidents that have occurred
at the Smith street and New Bruins
wick avenue crossings the council dis
cuBsed the matter last night and, IL
possible, will take action at once, and
If the railroad companies refuse to
place men on guard inside of thirty
days, the clay will employ men and
charge the expense to the railroad.
A question arose as to whether
this would be legal or not and 1t
was decided to confer with the city
attorney. Alderman Stacey said that
if the city attorney said this was pos
sible he would make a motion at the
next meeting of the board to that ef-
feet.
At the present time gatemen at
the crossings are on duty only until
o'clock at night and nearly all TIE
accidents have occurred after that
time. Mayor Bollschweiler, in his re-
cent message to the Board OF Alder
men, recommended that something
be done to insure the safety of the
citizens in crossing the railroads.

spite of the failure of two of the regu-
lar races to fill.
Hildreth's Love of Gold should win

take her measure when she was beaten
recently.
The second is an open-looking race.
Judge has been running well of late
and may win.
Elizabeth F has been doing we'll with
good horses at Ascot Park and seems
able to vanquish the field in the third.
Plckaway, the probable contender. likes
to romp out in front by himself, but
probably will be unable to.
The Logistilla handicap has attract
ed fairly good field. Dusty Miller
looks best on his second to DR.. Leggo.
st. Elmwood and Fulletta are most
promising of the others. Edwin Gum
is on the improve and might be the
surprise. Ed Sheridan seems to be UP
against 1t.
The fifth is a tough betting propo-
sition, with figures very close between
Gateway, Van Ness and Romaine and
Monte Lucille a dangerous outsider.
There will be speed to burn in the
last. with Fireball. Hector. Grasscutter
and Billy Mayham running. The start
and racing luck probably will play no
small part in the outcome. Fireball
seems to be getting good and may win.
Grasscutter is a speed marvel and If
she gets away well will give the others
a merry time trying to catch her.

FOR SIDE BET
OF $4,000
By r. r. I.Horr1rnedieu

The old rivalry between Los Angeles
and San Francisco has been resumed
Next month will see race for $4,000 a
side between II. D. Ryus of Los An
geles and E. p Brinegar of San Fran
cisco. Besides the money put up by
the contestants large bets will be made
by automobile enthusiasts of the two
cities.
e. P. Brinegar and H. d. Ryus signed
articles yesterday for an automobile
race between Los Angeles and Oak
land, to take place on Thursday, March
IA, for purse of s6000 each of the
contestants to put UP one-half of that
amount. Ryus will use Pope Hart
ford and Brinegar an Oldsmobile. The
race will be of Importance, not only
because of the large purse involved,
but because of the interest it will at
tract.
1t is provided in the agreement that
the race shall be contested over the
valley route. The coast roads are in
poor condition. Leaving Los Ange-
les, the course will lie over the New
hall grade, through the San Fran
ciskee Canyon, Antelope Valley, to
German, over the Tehachapi to Bakers
field, thence to Visalia, Fresno, Mo-
desto, Tracy, over the Livermore grade
to Santa Clara and the Alameda side
of the bay.
A deposit of $1,000 was placed yes
terday by Ryus and a like sum by
Brinegar in the hands of Fernando
Nelson, who holds the record for a
run between Los Angeles and San
Francisco. Nelson will act as official
stakeholder. An additional $4,000 will
be put up by each of the contestants
before March 3.
In case there be doubt as to the
condition of the roads or weather con-
ditions, the matter will be referred
to w. F. Hunt, acting for Brinegar,
and L. I. Shelter, acting for Ryus,
who will be empowered to order a
postponement if they believe condi-
tions warrant. 1t is stipulated further
that each car shall contain four per-
sons during the entire race, but
changes may be made in drivers or
passengers along the route. If either
of the contestants be arrested by Of
ficers en- route the race shall be post
poned until such time as Hunt and
Shelter shall name.
The cars will start from Fourth
street and Broadway, Los Angeles.
and finish at Twelfth street and Broad
way, Oakland. The first car is to leave
Los Angeles at 4:30 o'clock in the
morning and the second car a half
hour later. A coin is to be tossed
to determine which shall leave first.
1t is stipulated that the course must
be covered within forty hours.

Jack Keene has abandoned his idea

CANS AND BRITT
GIVE RILEY TEN
DAYS GRACE
By r. a. Sn1yth

The representatives of Jimmy Britt
and Joe Cans have not given up all
hope Of the boxers meeting in Tonopah
under the management of Mike Riley
some time in April To show their
earnestness in the matter they wired
Riley last night that they would agree
to a postponement Of the match until
April 10 II he would post $4,000 on or
before the 22d inst. and the balance
of the purse by March 20.
Manager Jim Coffroth. representing
Britt, and Ben Selig, Cans representa-
tive on this coast. each posted a for
felt of s25O0 last night and agreed to
post the balance on March 20 If Riley's
forfeit is up. The managers sent a
telegram to the Nevada man last night
telling him of their conclusions in thsN
matter and saying that this would re-
store the confidence of the newspapers
in him and in Tonopah as a fight pro-
noting center. The forfetts on each
specified in the articles originally
drawn up for the St Patrick's day
fight
The first definite word received here
by the men interested in the fight was
the following telegram:
Ben Selig. San Francisco-Au xoinw
to postpone carnival until April 10.
C~AAA-NN SCN CiONSA AudlCueS TOT March
IL. NJ. NJ. RILEY"
While the men at this end OF the Hns
interested IN the fight will not say so.
1t is evident that their request that
Riley post a forfeit within the next ten
days is made with the intention OF put
ting him on record as to his ability to
handle the fight at any date IN the fu-
ture. 1t has been known here for some
time that Riley's backing had been
withdrawn and that IT was not likely
that he would be able to carry out his
ambitious programme. Rileys pride
would not allow him to acknowledge
this and he has been going on, ap-
parently hoping that something would
happen that would free him from his
embarrassing position. He picked out
two weak excuses when he advanced
the reason that Cans had entered into
another match. TO be decided after his
Tonopah engagement, and also that the
Reno promoters would reap some
benefit from his advertising. The Cans
Lewis match was never made and the
Keno match has been~declared off.
II Riley does not post the forfeit as
requested the Gans-Britt match will ba

is concerned and then another locatir<H
