SIDELIGHT ON COMING

boys are in the lightweight class.
The siX-rounds contest viii DE be-
tween Sergeant Marlowe of the Fifth
Cavalry and Wahilani. Both men are
welterweights. Very good reports
come to hand of Marlowe and there is
little doubt that he is a good man
with the stuffed mitts. Wahilani has
been seen in a local ring on a number
Of occasions and has always proved
himself to be a very rugged custom

"Punchbowl" Silva and Soldier Ner
son are scheduled to battle eight
rounds and this go should be a hum

credit and this has given him an un
limited stock of confidence. 1t is tru,
that he has beaten no very good men
but he has done all that has peer
asked of him and that is plenty.
His showing with Silva Will give
the fans some kind of a correct line
as to what kind of fighting materia
the soldier is made Of Silvs

Think Gaynor Will Win.

Those who take in the broadest kind
of view of the situation believe that
Judge Gaynor will be elected by some
thing like $4,000, and that it will be
nip and tuck for all the other places
on the ticket, with Tammany losing
probably half OF is county ticket.
There is practically no betting. Ten
thousand dollars was iffered yester-
day at even that Hearst would run
third, but no takers appeared. Wagers
which are placed on the head of the
ticket are to l. Gaynor against the
field. The present contest is the more
interesting because it may mean the
downfall of the Murphy regime in TAM
many or the elevation to high leader

sons, who is the Republican leader OF

GETTING A line ON
VoTE MOST DIFFICULT
$4,000 Offered That Hearst Will Run
Third, But No Takers Appear-Con-
servative Thinkers Believe Gaynor
Will Win.
By Associated Press

NEW YORK, October 29.-Never in
the history of New York city elections
as it been so difficult to get line
on the vote as in the present contest
which will be settled next Tuesday
Leaders of the Democratic and Repub-
lican ORGANIZATIONS have sent their
Ieutenants out three different times
to make house-to-house canvasses, and
the figures brought back have been in
complete and unsatisfactory each time.
No one can tell with any degree OF ac-
curacy' what the count next Tuesday
will show.
There are political wise men who SO. J
that Gaynor will be elected by 10000
pluarlity, and there are others who
with all sincerity declare that Ban
nard, the Republican nominee, will be
elected by polling his party vote IN
addition to thousands of Democratic
conservatives who regard both Gayno'
and Hearst as radicals.
There are others who assert that
Barnard will make miserable show
ing; that Gaynor will lose thousands
of votes and that Hearst will be swept
into office.

Il will say frankly that | was very

went to the court house. | realize

HORRIBLE crime
BROUGHT TO Light
Four Negroes Fell Into Hands of Mis-
sissippi Farmer After Killing
an Asyrian Peddler.

Special TO the NeUs.
MERIDIAN, Miss, October 29.--
Facts in connection with a most hor-i-
BILE crime committed by four negroes
in Kemper county on Tuesday night
have just been brought 10 light here,
the story coming from Mr. w. H.
Palmer, well known farmer of that
section.
The perpetrators of he deco are
said to have paid the penalty for their
heinous act. swift justice being meied
out to them by body of determined
citizens who made the ghastly discov.
cry of the body of their victim and
traced the crime to them. Just what
disposition was made of the blacks is
not known at this time.
An Asyrian named Kahn was the
victim of the murderers. His head
was severed from his body after
which his remains were placed in his
wagon and the horse started down
the road, while his goods were taken
by the negroes.
According to Mr.. Palmar's story the
Asyrian. who was travelling through
the country in a wagon selling his
goods from a pack, stopped at the
home of some negroes about seven
miles from DeKalb. The Asyrian
spread his pack out on the front door
steps. and the two negroes began to
examine the goods. White they were
doing so two other negroes crept up
behind the Asyrian and severed his
head fro mhis body with an axe. The
headless body was then placed in lie
seat of the wagon and the horse was
/ headed down the road. The head
on.
! After going several hundred yards
down the road the lifelsss body was
I discovered by some white men who
stopped the horse and began an inves
tigation. 1t was a CHASTITY sight which
met their eyes.
A crowd of men soor gathered on
the step, and they began a search fcs
the murderers of the Asyfian. Going
back in the direction from which the
wagon came the men came to the
house where the crime had been cor,
mitted. 1t was easy to establish the
fact, for blood spots were plainly L
evidence. Going into the house. tht
men found the four negroes nuddlet
