Rejected Suitor Wreaks Bloody
Vengeance on Winner on
Wedding Tour
Turns Weapon on the Girl Wife,
but Her Uncle Saves Her
Life

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 23.-0n her
bridal tour, which had begun scarce
~ one hour before, seated in railroad
coach almost between her husband and
a former suitor for her hand, Mrs.
Fred Van Ingen last night saw the
flash OF the suitor's revolver, felt the
sudden grip of her husbands hand as
the bullet struck and killed him, and
then turned and fought for her own
life. When the girl appeared about to
become the victim OF second bullet
from the revolver. her uncle rushed up
and thrust his thumb beneath the ham
mer of the revolver. jamming the me-
chanism and rendering the weapon
harmless
This was the story which the pas
sengers on the Texas and Pacific can
non BALI told when they reached this
city today, but the principal actors OF
the tragedy, most OF whom are con-
nected with prominent Louisiana fami-
lies, have SO far refused to discuss the
affair.
The former suitor is f. s. Beauve
of Plaquemine. La, where he was
taken from the train and placed under
arrest. The husband was Prof Fred
Van Ingen, a prominent teacher Of
Alexandria, La, and a relative OF for
mer Governor Blanchard. The bride Is
the daughter of James M. Rhorer, one
of the leading officials of Iberville par
ish. residing at Baton Rouge.
Beauve Is "a years old and Van In
gen WAS %. The wedding took place
yesterday at Alexandra. Beanve was
in town, having arrived there, 1t is re-
ported, on the same day as Miss
Rhorer. When the bridal couple left
for New Orleans he boarded the train
also, and after a time sat in seat
facing Mr.. and Mrs. Van Ingen, with
the bride between him and her hus-
band. Passengers say Beauve talked
with the bridal couple just before the
shooting and that his manner ap-
peared cordial.
The young woman had clasped hands
with her husband when Beauve sud
denly drew. his revolver and fired

ARMOUR INJUNCTION
REFUSED BY COURT
Will Not Restrain Pure Food
Department From Inter-
ference in Sales

LANSING, Mich. Oct. 2s.-Judge
West OF the county court today re-
fused the Injunction asked for by Ar
mour & Co. to restrain the state pure
food department from interfering with
the sale of the company's sausage in
Michigan. The state held that cereals
and water used in sausage were an
adufteration, which contention the COM
pany denied. claiming it was necessary
to use them to perfect the product.
The court said that sausage meant meat
and that cereals and water are adulter-
ants, added with an evident intent to
cheat, and further said that If sold as
pure food product the act perpe-
trates an offense against the law and
would soon drive honest dealers out of
the market.

the regular troops at Camp Atascadero
were engaged in the most interesting
and instructive maneuver of the pres
ent encampment
Major Foster of the Fifth cavalry
was in command of the superior attack
ing force which was to dislodge a nu-
merically inferior command from an
immeasurably stronger position, and
he drove it. There was not much dash
ing about of orderlies or waving of
swords. but the long lines of brown
infantry, snake like. persistent, sup

Captain Sterling p. Adams of the Four
teenth cavalry and. advancing under
the support of a heavy artillery fire
from Captain Faulkner's and Lieuten-
ant Brownings artillery batteries,
swept irresistibly around the blue
flank, completely enveloping it. Major
Wright of the Eighth infantry was at
the head of the main attack and the
troops under him exhibited admirable
knowledge of the use of the cover.
Captain de Witt Twentieth infantry,
led the second artillery attack under
cover OF Captain John Parkers machine
guns. one of which is the new Hotch-
kiss which he has had incorporated into
the battery.
simultaneously the two attacks
moved forward, although separated by
several miles, and at the same instant
the machine guns and field artillery
opened on the red side This uniformity
Of movement was made possibly by the
signal corps, which connected all parts
of the line with Major Foster, who, by
free use OF the telephone. kept in con-

manders and knew at all times what
each was doing and where he was
located

VANDERBILT RACE
EVENT OF THE DAY
Automobile Enthusiasts of the
World Are Watching the Big
Contest at New York
American Cars Appear to Have
Good Chance to Capture
Blue Ribbon Trophy
By K. r. PHOmmedieu

The eyes OF the automobile world
will be centered today on the American
classic-the race for the Vanderbilt
cup. The late unpleasantness between
the American automobile association
and the Automobile club of America
has somewhat taken the general inter
est out of the event. With most of the
enthusiasts, however, this is considered
the premier event in the United states.
and the winner will be entitled to hold
the blue ribbon for the year 1908. The
late date for closing the entries has
made ii impossible to get information
concerning who will be the drivers OF
the cars. This fact somewhat lessons
the interest in the contest. From the
performance of the American cars in
the events held this year it looks as
II they would undoubtedly be keen con-
tenders with the foreign vehicles.
There will be at least II starters,
and 1T is probable they VIII be started
80 seconds apart. The circuit is only
23.45 miles, making a distance OF 25S
miles for IL laps. II the cars were
started a minute apart, as the specta-
tors in the grandstand would prefer.
the first ear would arrive at the grand
stand before the last car had started
This would be dangerous, as it is I'm
possible to get the course clear il
front of the grandstand until after al
the cars are away In order TO give
the referee ample time to clear the
course. Wagner, the starter, will in all
likelihood. send the cars off at half
minute intervals.
