shipment they are cooled by the am

ice to do in several days. The fruits
are Immediately put under cool tenn

AS many cars as possible will be

PLACES BLAME ON LOVER.
Young Woman Gives Statement to
County Attorney.

Beatrice, Neb., Nov. 15.-In a state
ment made to County Attorney Nc
Cir, Miss Mae Austin, the young wo-
man who was bookeeper for the JONI
Auto company who was shot in a
somewhat mysterious manner here
Thursday, gave the first satisfactory
explanation of the shooting that has
so far been obtained.
In her statement she places the
blame upon Frank Chamberlain, her
lover, who was arrested soon after
the deed was done and held awaiting
investigation. Chamberlain and his
mother stated that Miss Austin shot
herself accidentally while handling his
revolver, but their stories were so
conflicting that Miss Austin's state
ment was awaited. In her statement,
which the county attorney was not
able to obtain at first on account of
the young woman's critical condition,
Miss Austin says that following con-
versation with Chamberlain at his
home regarding their marriage, she
refusing to marry him this fall as he
wished her to do, he pulled a revolver
from his pocket and told her that he
was going to kill himself. She grab
bed his arm to prevent him from car
rying out his threat and the revolver
was discharged. The bullet, which
was a 32-caliber, passed entirely
through her right side, piercing her
lung. She is unable to state whether
he intended to kill her or whether the
gun was discharged by accident dur
ing the scuffle.
The officers are inclined to the be,
lief that Chamberlain was determined
to murder his sweetheart and then
commit suicide, but that her screams
following her discovery that she had
been shot caused him to lose his
nerve. Little hope is entertained for
Miss Austins recovery.

BETTING TO BE EVEN.

New York, Nov. 15.-According to
James Coffroth, the San Francisco
fight promoter, who is here in an eff
fort to land the Jeffries-Johnson con-
test for his club at Colma, Calf, JEFF
fries and Johnson will go into the ring
at even money in the betting. COT
froth is considered one of the most
reliable fight handicappers in the coun-
try.
There may be a shade the better
of it for one or the other before the
fight" said Coffroth, but when the
gong sounds you will find that it Is
an even money bet and that Johnson
will have as many hackers as Jeffries'

is likely to be more money change
hands than on this one. 1t is quite
certain that the California money will
go on Johnson to a large extent, as he
has made a wonderful impression
there, and that a great deal of JEFF
fries backing will come from the east"
More bids are coming in from clubs
and promoters who desire to produce
the big fight. Battling Nelson, the
lightweight champion, desires to be-
come a promoter and has wired John
son and Jeffries here that he will give
$S5, 900 to have their fight take place
on his property at Virginia City, New.
Nelson offers to post $4,000 immedi-
ately to bind the offer. James Morgan
of Ogden, Utah., wires that he will
give $4,000. When all the bids are
considered on December l it is be-
lieved there will be a dozen from
which to choose.
