cord with the version OF the tragedy re-
oited by members OF the family.
Mantei Clark, a neighbor OF the Rawn
family in Winnetka. told the police he
saw a man running through his yard
after the shots were fired. He is the
only man heard from thus far who saw
a fugitive or night pedestrian anywhere
in the neigrborhOod. The Winnetka pa
trolman who covers the district around
the Rawn home had been near the house
a few minutes before the shots were
fred. He said he could not have been
fa- away. but he heard no shots and
saw no one running.
Probably Victim of Enemy.
Still another clew is that Mr.. Rawn
was the victim OF an enemy who wished
to get him out of the way for business
reasons. In this connection the Illinois
Central graft scandal is mentioned Mr..
Rawn was operating vice president Of
the road at the time the fraudulent car
repair contracts came to>light A short
time afterward he left the road and be-
came president of the Monon. Mr.. Rawn
was to appear next Tuesday as q witness
in the Illinois Central cases. At his sug-
gestion. the inquiry had been twice post
poned.
He also is supposed 10 have known
more about the Western Indiana affairs
than was comfortable for some who were
involved in 1t. On the ground that some
one feared the revelations Mr.. Rawn
might make regarding these matters the
business enemy theory is based.
Those who hold to the suicide theory
believe Rawn was worried over a pros
pective examination and cross-examina-
ton on the witness stand While II Is
not even intimated that he was involved
wrongfully in the car repair transactions,
1t is thought he may have feared the
imputatlon that he was not sufficiently
vigilant as an officer of the road in pre-
venting them.
Scouts Suicide Theory.
DR.. E. z. BIatchforda, who was sum-
moned after the shooting. said Mr.. Rawn
was shot just below the heart He said
Mr.. Rawn was in excellent health of
body and mind, and secuted the theory
OF suicide as absurd on the face Of it.
The family in the excitement, he said,
had forgotten to notify the police for
some time. He suggested that this be
done
An interesting feature of the shooting
is that two months ago Mr.. Rawn and
John c. Fetzer. in whose Office Charles
". Rigdon shot Mrs Young and killed
himself last week. were both In the lime
light IN the grand jury investigation of
the Western Indiana Railroad scandal
Much bitterness developed in the case.
and the two men mentioned were oppoa-
ing witnesses.
Mr.. Rawn was ffty-fve years OF age,
ard was born in Delaware. Ohio. There
he received his elementary education and
entered the railroad service when he was
fifteen years old.

Another year, with its summer migration and win,

age and more intelligent both naturally and owing
to his human association Neslbe loved him devO-

A handsome animal was Yasha His rrddy coat

with coarse hair of a rusty iron color His head was
rather more square than is usual, set with 1ntelll

armed with double set of perfect ivory tangs-
YashaS travels had saved him from that scratching
sloh into which his city kindred are likely to fall
Also he was no idler; but went over the Balkan
Mountains with all of his weight and strength thrown
into pair of traces between the wheels OF a little
pushcart guided by Nesibe. This tOughened his
muscles and gave him that high nervous tonlc1ty
wherein every worker, canine or human, eNcelS the
idler of his kind.
Yasha quickly fought his way to the head of the
Gipsv dog escort and then entered upon post

of about every strange dog he met along the route
From these he learned many tricks OF the game,
sometimes no light cost. a great silent brute

started quietly in to eat him day, wagging his
tail the while and saying nothing to anybody. AS
a result of this lesson Hasha Travelled tor week on

worth the pains for never again dld ne trust a
stranger until he had him by the throat 1t also
taught him the golden virtue OF silence
