 'I don't care what becomes of me if 1 could only know that my wife and baby were all right"
 Cassidy, a strong and athletic young man. owes his escape from death to his good physical condition. It was found at the hospital that the blows on his head had only laid open the scalp and had not fractured the skull.
 q was standing behind the counter making up the cash in the cash drawer of the register when l saw three men walk into the hotel and approach the cigar counter" said Cassidy. "One asked me for box of cigarettes, and as turned to wait on him saw one of his companions come around the end of the counter. He made a lunge at me with blackjack, and although I tried to ward off the blow the heavy instrument struck me on the head.
 q grappled with the first man, and as 1 did l saw the one who had or dered the cigarettes jump over the counter and come at me from behind. In the struggle we got out from behind the counter. and l fell to the floor. l jumped up and jerked the blackjack from the hand of the man who first attacked me and tried to protect my self the best l could. By this time we were almost to the front door of the hotel, and I called for the police. "One of the men had been fighting turned and ran. The third man stood in the middle of the floor when the other two men came up to the counter and seemed to be standing guard. However, he hit me several times in the fight and ran away.

 "Is that story true?" asked Mir. Whe lan when be reached his offices at A West Eighteenth street. He found that 1t was.
 Mir. Whelan decided that such tidel. ity deserved immediate reward. Young Cassidy had taken a terrible beating and had come near sacrificing his life to save the $500 in the till of the store. A check for S1,OOO was immediately drawn in Cassidys favor, and E. J. Rosenfeld. the general superintendent of the company, was sent to the young mans home with the check and the following letter:

A desperate battle between three holdup men, one of them taking his first step in crime to relieve the suf- ferlng of an invalid wife and sick child. and the clerk of the cigar stand in the Hotel Manhattan, in New York city. during the Sunday morning break fast hour was witnessed by a large number of guests. The hotel was aroused. and many guests, believing that they had witnessed a murder, chased one of the robbers and aided ln hls capture,
 Joseph J. Cassidy, the clerk, guard ing some $500 of his employers money, fought under a rain of blackjack and lead pipe blows upon his head until he succeeded in dlsarming one of his as sailants. Then. with blood from many wounds blinding him, he grappled with another. whs stlll was armed with a piece of lead pipe, and for the first time called for assistance in order that the others might not have opportunity to steal,
 Guests from the lobby and dining rooms and employees of the hotel an swered his call. and two of the holdup men ran from the hotel Followed by 'he guests. some Of them barehcaded, one of the fugitives ran along Forty second street. A fireman in uniform led the chase and called for the police, In front of ihc Grand Central station the fleeing man was ripped by Police man Schultls and captured by Schultze and Policeman Cooper, with the crowd of pursucr1 hard at his heels. The third man had escaped.
 The party quickly returned to the hotel and found Cassidy still locked in desperate encounter with his assailant.

the Allen Sells shows up until 1897
when it was sold out and Willie went
to New York and leased the Standard
theater. He was with this until the
fall Of 1897. He quit this though. A
new show was started up and was
called the Hummel, Hamilton and
Sells shows. Hummel was a brother
OF that big New York lawyer
He quit this and from 1898 until 1899
he was general agent for the Walter
Main shows. In 1900 he bought part
of the Wallace shows at Peru, Ind and
called them the Sells & Gray shows.
He ran this for two years. They got
tied up at Algiers, Ohio, by the DON

graphing bill The Donaldson company
klnd or took charge at Carthage, Ohio,
and 1t was run that way until 1905 when
Sells organized the Sells & Downs
shows. He got out of this and from
1905 until 1906 he didn't do anything. In
1906 he got in with the Floto people
and they organized the Sells-Floto
shows. They had some sort of dis
agreement in 1907 and he quit them.
There were four of the brothers that
ran the first Sells shows, Adam, Eph-
riam, Peter and Allen. Allen was Will
lies father and the originator of the
Sells shows. Yes, sir, he was a great
boy. He was kind to his help. I knew
that he had been suffering from gas
tritis. He was troubled with that when
he was here and he was treated for it."
Sells fame contributed materially tow

greatest attractions of this character.

he still retained his bodily activity in
marked degree. About two years ago
as the result of bet he jumped from
the sidewalk to the seat of a waiting
cab, clearing the parts of a cab in reg

weighed over 200 pounds. He was a
famous spender and some of the din
ners that he has given at the Elks' club
are still spoken of for the extravaganza
that characterized them.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago. Feb 17.-WHEAT-Trading was
light in the wheat pit at the opening to-
day and prices were firm. Higher cables
and smaller receipts in the northwest were
offset by heavy worlds shipments, and an
increase in the amount of wheat on ocean
passage. May wheat opened 1s@14c higher,
at 93sz@937sc, and after selling at $3.50
93Ac, sold at 94@941sc.

last Is minutes of the session, when active
selling carried the price of May down to
921sc. The close was weak with May 9sQ
&c lower, at 92A@93c.
CORN-The corn market was steady be-
cause of firm cables which offset the cold
weather throughout the corn belt, the
latter being considered favorable for the
movement. May corn opened 1s@Ac high
er. at 6114@61ssc, and sold at 611sc.

half hour, May declining to 60c. The close

MORSE is ARRAlGNED.
He Pleads Not Guilty and Obtains a
Continuance of One Week.

New York, Sept. 17.-Charles W.
Morse, the former banker, organizer of
the American Ice company and the
s12, 100000 consolidated Steamship COM
pany. pleaded not guilty before Justice
Dowiing today to two charges of grand
larceny A hearing of the case was set
for next Monday.
The charges against Morse are based
on check transaction growing out of
the sale by Morse of block of stock
of the National Bank of North America
to Morgan j. O'Brien, formerly chief
justice of the appellate division of the
supreme court of this state. Mr.. O'Brien
gave Morse a note for 100000 in part
payment for the stock with the under
standing that the note was not to be
discounted. 1t is alleged that Morse
discounted the note at the Mercantile
National bank of this city, received a
| check made payable to Mr.. O'Brfen. in.
dorsed the check Morgan J. O'Brien.
| per c. w. Morse and deposited it to
his own account in the National Bank
| of North America.
When he was arraigned in court to-
! day Morse's counsel informed the jus
| t1ce that Morse did not know what
the specific charges against him were
and that the district attorney had re-
fused permission for his counsel to
examine the minutes of the grand
| jury, which indicted Morse Counser
said also that he should apply to the
court for authority to examine the
| minutes and said that one week was
not enough and asked for two weeks
postponement to frame his applica-
ton. Assistant District Attorney
Kresel argued that one week was
enough time to allow Morse's conn
sci, and the hearing was set for next
Monday. In the meantime his coun-
sci said, he would decide whether to
change or withdraw Morse's plea.
New York, Feb. 17-CharIes w Morse

combin ations, including the socalle6

of the coastwise steamship lines. was
arrested in his stateroom when the

ship was docked and then was whfrlef
away in an automobile to the home of
Justice Victor Dowling of the supreme

De proud; has been wise and con-
slstent, has been such that he de-
serves the greatest reward within the
glft OF his party, and toward this end
every Democrat in convention today
pledges himself to aid in bringing
about. That many of the principles
ne espoused twelve years ago and
espouses today have been engrafted
into the Republican articles of faith,
are those on which that party is
building its record of reformation of
abuses, are copyists of Democratic

saturday afternoon, and it passed off
in the usual perfunctory manner. The
jury brought in a verdict of death from
revolver shot in the hands of unknown
assassin.
The principal feature of the inquest
was the testimony of James Lally, and
the failure of the witness to identify
him as the man who did the murder.
After the inquest. a funeral service
was held at the home of w. H. Jordan.
1t was conducted by Rev. ]. B. Vernon
of the Methodist church, and was at
tended by nearly everybody in town.
Jordan was a member of the knights
of Pythias, and also a member of the
Seneca fire department. He was 81
years old, and had lived in Seneca 12
years. He worked for his brother, W.
H. Jordan, who owned the Seneca Trib-
une, Republican weekly newspaper
He had four brothers and one sister,
w. H. Jordan of Seneca, Chas. F. Jor-
dan of Sioux Falls, S. D.. Geo. F. Jor-
dan of Carlinville, ILL.,, Frank Jordan of
Spokane Wash, Emily Jordan of Car
linville, ILL., The mother of the family
is also living at Carlinville, and there
the body of Herbert was taken for
burial.
May Have Some Letters.
Up to the present time, Jordans pri-
vate correspondence has not been in
letters in his desk at the Tribune office,
and these his brother, W. H. Jordan,
looked over before he went back to IL
linois with the body. There are other
private letters in his trunk at his room,
and these will not be investigated until
w. H. Jordan's return, unless the at
torney for the family, Judge Stillwell,
decides to allow this to be done.
There is some possibility that in these
letters will be found some clue to the
author of the crime.
Some Conclusions.
1t is almost certain that the man who
bought the revolver and who was shown
the way to Jordans house by Warren
Potts is the man who killed Jordan.
The fact that he did not know where
Jordan lived indicates that he was not
a resident of Seneca.
The fact that he bought the revolver
after arriving in town indicates that he
did not intend to kill Jordan when he
came to town
If there was a woman in the case it
was probably some woman outside of
Seneca; possibly some woman in To-
peka or Kansas City.
The crime itself, the purchase of the
revolver, and the course of the assassin
in inQuiring about Jordan's whereabouts
show that either the murderer was
desperate and didn't care whther he
was caught or not, or that he was a
very bungling criminal, and probably
was not hired assassin.
When the man is found, as he pro-
badly will be. the chances are that it
to be deeply wronged by Jordan. and
that he had seen Jordan earlier in the
day and failed to secure satisfactory
settlement of the supposed wrong
