Theory That the Railroad President
Was Murdered. go.
Chicago, July 23.-Coroner Peter
Hoffman announced that he had re-
ceived information which led him to
believe that Ira G. Rawn was MUIR
dered for revenge. He Immediately
went into conference with Herman
Schuettler, acting chief of police.
II have obtained a new clue in con-
nection with the death of Mr.. Rawn,"
said Mr.. Hoffman. "and my informal
ton looks very good. l also have in
formation concerning the identity of
the alleged slayer, but I do not care
to make my information public until
after my conference with Acting Chief
0CuuctI10l.
The alleged discovery of second
bullet in the crate at the Rawn home
may play an important part in deter
mining the manner in which the dead
railroad president met his death.
This discovery, members of the
Rawn family are convinced, is the
clinching argument supporting their
theory that Mr.. Rawn's revolver was
discharged It burglar and that it
was the bullet from the intruder's
weapon that took his life -. -.
: Insurance officials who were investi.
eating the case independently because
of his $147,000 Of life and accident in.
surance, refused to voice any definite
opinion. If their investigation should
disclose that Mr.. Rawn ended his life,
the accident policies, aggregating
100000, probably would become
worthless.
Mr.. Rawn's funeral occurred during
the afternoon and for five minutes
everything was at standstill on the
entire MOnon system.

Flames Continue to Threaten
Canadian Town.
BEAUDETTE, MIMI, is SAFE

Fires In That Vicinity Are Checked
and Assistance Is Sent to the Cana
dian Side in Answer to An Appeal.
Falling Wind Lessons the Danger at
Several Wisconsin Towns Where
Serious Fires Are Raging.
Beaudette, MIMI, July 23.-The for
est fires around the village of Beau
dette have been checked. The fires
around the town of Rainy River, Ont,
swept. directly against the town, and
fear was widespread. The Canadian
Northern railroad had five engines
pouring water on the flames. The
Beaudette fire department was called
on and went to the Canadian side on
special train to aid the endangered
town. Nearly all places of business
were closed and employees were out
lighting the fire. The Rat Portage and
Rainy River Lumber company closed
their plants and sent their men to the
fire line. It is believed the town can
be saved, as it looks as though the
fire is checked at the railway right of
way.
The smoke in the villages of Beau
dette and Spooner and the town of
Rainy River is almost unbearable.
At Spooner 100 men are out fighting
the flames. In case the wind should
change to the southeast it will be al
most impossible to save the village.
Thousands of cords of pulp wood have
been burned and twenty settlers cab
ms have been destroyed.
It is reported that two little girls
living in the Rainy River district wan
dered into the forest and were burned
to death,
