and a girl.
The police pursued. wounded and cap
tured the men, but the girl escaped. The
leader of the trio turned out to be
terrorist named Tchertkoff
The two detectives killed were bitterly
hated by the terrorists, one of them for
participation in melting the outbreak of
1905 here. and the other who was nick
named The Hangman'' because he had
tortured political prisoners
Following the assassination of the three
Ipolice officials here today, serious riot
ing occurred, and at S o'clock in the even
ing the Black Hundreds were running
wild through~the streets merciessly beat
ing people. particularly Jews more than
100 of whom were seriously injured The

AHancock County Boy

Ellsworth friends of Ray P. Stevens. son
of 5. G. Stevens, formerly OF Brooklin.
will be interested to know OF his rapid
advancement in railroad circles in the
middle states. Until recently Mr.. Stevens
was superintendent of the Auburn s.
Syracuse railroad in New York state, and
now he has been chosen president of the
Lehigh Valley Transit Co., which
operates 142 miles Of electric road in
Pennsylvania.
In the selection of Mr.. Stevens, the
its affairs one OF the youngest men in the
country to hold such position. Though
but thirty-one years of age, Mr.. Stevens
has had a varied experience since his
graduation at the University Of Maine in
1895; he has held positions which amply
qualify him for the presidency of the COM
pany. He took a graduate course at
Massachusetts, Institute of Technology,
and then entered the employ of the Bell
Telephone Co., and later went to the GEN
eral Electric Co. In 1900 he went to
I Everett, Wash, and reconstructed the
Everett Railway & Electric Co. While in
the West ne built an interurban line and
electrified tracks for the Northern Pacific
I from Everett to Snohomish. During the
period he was with this company its earn
ings were quadrupled.
Two years ago Mr.. Stevens went TO
Auburn, n. Y, where in the operation OF
the road he successfully directed trolley
freight business. The directors of the
Lehigh Valley Transit Co. have been pur-
suing policy of aggressive development
of the property, and decided upon Mr..
Stevens as president in order to have a
progressive executive who had undergone
the test of experience.
