ONE OF THE MURRAY TRAIN
WREckERs GETS PAROLE
FROM FIT. MADISON.

1t will be Of considerable interest to
many Ottumwans to know that today
among the prisoners released on parole
by the governor from the penitentiary
at Fort Madison, the name of Fred
Fivecoat appears. This character, will
be remembered as one of the men who
with Frank Jackman, attempted to
wreck Burlington No. about eleven
years ago near Murray in order to rob
the express car and passengers. The
attempted wrecking occurred during
the holiday season and rich haul was
expected by the highwaymen who took
track tools from a nearby shanty
with which to tear up the track which
at that point lay on a dump, planning
that if the wreck proved successful the
train Would go into the ditch. Many
Ottumwans were on the train at the
time and the engineer and fireman
were both Ottumwans. The former
was the late sydney Brown and his
fireman M. ]. Canny. Mr.. Brown was
afterwards killed and his fireman Can
ny seriously injured in the wreck OF
NO 3 at Thayer a few years after the
Murray incident
The trial of Jacl1nan and F'ivncoat
was held shortly after the attempted
wreck. they having been run down by
Harrison and Ballou Of the Burling-
toms secret service and sent from
Clark County to the penitentiary at
Fort Madison for life. March 6, 1895

Fivecoats through efforts made by par
ties interested in his welfare obtained
a parole froaa the board Of pardons. III

dons several months ago, Detective
Harrison stated his reasons for oppos-
| ing a pardon to Fivecoat which was

rison stated that he believed Fivecoat
wholly unfit to have liberty and an un-
desirable citizent not safe to run loose
His statement was published some
months ago in the Courier. and whe1

opinion that Fivecoat is still a dan

midst of the wild uproar which made
hearing out Of the question. Just as he
swung his arm for the last time and
turned to hold up Ketchel's hand,
Papke staggered to his feet. He was
dazed and bleeding from the nose and
was clearly beaten man. He arose
about one second too late, but the re-
suit would not have been affected.
Both men were bleeding slightly at
intervals from the seventh round on,
as the savage punching drew the gore
from their nose and lips. Ketchel's
victory was clean cut and twice he
forced Papke to turn his back to es'
cape the savage shower of punches
he rained upon him.
It is believed that close to 5000 wit
messed the battle and it Is thought
that the contest drew at least a $4,000
house In spite of the announcement
that the men were boxing on per
centage. the general impression is
that Papke received $4,000 and Ket
chel $4,000. win, lose or draw.
