JERSEY CITY, Oct. i9.-This city was
treated to real wild west performance
today. and the residents In the vicinity

sight. People walking along the streets

but the horse attached to the up-turned
vehicle escaped without a scratch.
II Is not an unuaual sight for people in
this part of the city to see a herd OF
steers ambling meekly along the paved
thoroughfare but It was an innovation to
the regular order of things to see the
dozen monster animals break and run
h!ther and thither. smashing into anything
that happened to be in their way.

pecially women, were on their way to mar

warned them that trouble was brew

the streets were deserted.
Edward Ackerman, expert with the lariot,
seized clothesline and, forming a moose,

LEFT CITY AFTER CRIME

After two months of quiet but effec-

now on a trail that will momentarily
lead to the arrest of two men they be-
lieve to have been responsible for the
murder of Louisa Liggens, the negress
whose body was found at \ the city
dump on August 20 at the foot of
Pioneer street.
Detective Sergeant Frank Tuite rs
now in Columbus, O., looking for
Robert Bell and Miller Wilson, negroes,
who disappeared from Newark about
week after the body was found, and
who before they went away disposed
of horse and wagon which they
owned. A black-painted wagon was
seen at the scene of the crime.
That these men can throw consider
able light on the death of the negress
the police are certain, and though over
a half dozen arrests have been made in
the case since the body was found by
two italian women in the dumps, the
trail on which the police are now work.
ing seems to. make them more hopeful
than ever before.
The Iiggens woman had disappeared
from her home at "a Arlington street.
That was the last she was seen alive.
Her dead body was found on the dumps
August 90 which was on Tuesday. Inc
italian women picking over refuse in the
city dump stumbled across the body. II
was In a bad state of decomposition, and
IL was only through some dental work
done on her teeth that she was positively
i3enAifed. -
Detective Sergeant 'reaIptetor was as
signed TO the case, and later he was Joined
by Tut and Horter. The trio have been
working since that time
About two weeks ago TIE police learned
of the sudden disappearance of tho two
negroes after they had sold their horse
and wagon. A man named Cosgrove who
runs a livery stable In Miller street, sdiu
that on a Sunday night after the Liggens
woman was last seen in Arlington street
he saw two negroes in carriage having a
negless between them drive down Miller
street toward the dumps. Since that time
The police have been trying TO locate the
owners of this vehicle. Recently Tuite
heard That Wilson and Bell owned a horse
and wagon and had been in the coal and
ice business in Railroad avenue and Nesoy
street.
On investigation Tuite found that both
men had suddenly disappeared about a
week after the murder, but that Wilson
had a wife living here still. He later
learned that the horse was the property
of Wilson, but as yet the police are un-
able to find out who owned the wagon.
About a week ago Wilson and Bell were
located in Columbus, but were not placed
,lnder arrest, as they had evidently been
living under assumed names. Tuite set
out for Columbus on Wednesday, but no
direct word has been heard from him yet.

Il CAR SHOOTS
HIGH UP
IN AIR
Passengers Have Narrow
Escape From Death and
Thrilling Experience.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1e.-Shooting sud-
denly upward at an angle that grew to
As degrees. the foremost car of train
on the Metropolitan IL" road here
dashed on the opening lift Of the Jack
knife bridge between jackson boule-
ward and Van Bure- etreet last night.
For moment it ----.sd that the inn
petus of the car and the rising tepsf9scy
of the bridge might arryit over and
hurl the car off the tracks. Then, the
motor power shut off and the force OF
gravity operating, the car fell back
ward and was telescoped with the Sec
ond car. which had come from behind
with undiminished speed
In the darkness and amid the crash
ing glass from shattered windows the
startled passengers of the forward or
motor car, hurled from their seats ana
sliding toward the downward end OF
the coach, CROPPED for the exits. Fortu-
rately the number in the car was small
only eight-and all succeeded in es-
Gaping from the heap into which they
were thrown.
In all Three of the cars in the train
there were only 25 passengers. The
shock and the sudden darkness caused
by the shutting off of the electric cur
rent threw them into confusion, but all
escaped injury. The second car, jam
ming into the lifted one, slid up the
slide three or four feet, then was halted
by the resistance 1t encountered.
The inopportune raising of the bas-
cule bridge was said by M. G. Feron'
superintendent, to have been caused by
the action of the towerman in accl-
dentally unlocking the bridge. How
ever, there was another story to the
effect that the bridge was opening to
allow the steamer Panther, loaded with
coal, to pass. The Panther came up at
the time of the accident. at any rate,
and but for the captain of the tug tow
ing the boat, it would have crashed
into the bridge which failed to open FAR
enough when the train ran on it. The
tumble of cars on the bridge closed
that structure subsequently, to all
traffic, and for some time the Metro
politan system was almost entirely tied
up. Coming just at the time of the
closing of the theatres. it caught many
persons bound for home.

NON-STRIKERS WIN
NEW TRIAL AND CARPEN-
TERS' FINES RETURNED.
Report Is Made to District Council
of International Committees
Decision.

Following the instructions of their inter-
national executive officers the local Dis
trlct Council Of Carpenters will have to
retry the men who would not go out on
strike May l. The men are also to get
their fines. which were 500 each. and which
were levied by the council. when the cases
OF the non-strikers were investigated
owing, 1t is said. to technicality in the
trials, which made them Illegal.
Delegates John H. Mclean and Charles
l,ehm. who returned from conference
with the executive committee OF the broth
arbood at indianapolis In the early pu t
Of the week. smoke about this matter.
When the council levied the fines, the
men who refused TO go on strike paid them
and then appealed their cases to John ID.
Huber, president of the Brotherhood of
carpenters, who revoked the action on the
grounds that the fines had been illegally
imposed. That caused big stir among
the local carpenters, who refused to give
no the money, and, instead, appointed
Messrs, Mclean and Lehm a committee
10 20 to indianapolis and lay the whole
matter before that body.
They did so and IL developed that
fIuber's order was not as concise as it
should have been, in that he should have
stated in his revocation order that the
non-striking carpenters had not been
tried according to the rules of the organ
ization. and that their fines should .he
returned to them until they were given
a proper hearing.
The cases will be taken up in a week
or so, but meantime the nlen viii have
their fines returned
Mr.. Mclean also informed the council
that the executive committee had awarded
sufficient sum of money to the local
district council to fight the open shop
movement in this city, and to make It n
complete union city so far as the car
penters are concerned.
