the roar of two shots fired in quick
succession.
Il rushed out as did the others. We
found Mr.. Rawn lying in his night
clothes. Blood was trucking from his
breast
He struggled, turned over, tried to
speak, and could not. We sent in hur-
ried calls for doctor. Mr.. Rawn died
within five or six minutes after the
shot had been fred. He did not re-

Winnetka police, and 1t was they who
found the mark ON the door which es.

been committed by burglar. Other
than that we have no clew.

Bigelow, and my wife and myself and
our two children. There were also
three servants in the house. the cook.

at the home Of Laird Bell last Satur-
day or Sunday night when Mr.. and
Mrs. Bell were out of town, the incl

suburb. Plans for better police pro-

crime Of this morning probably will In

action.
While Mr.. and Mrs. Bell were away
from home at Lake Geneva last week
burglars entered their home and stole
verware, jewelry, and heirlooms. No
report of the matter was made to the
local police till after Mr.. and Mrs.
Bell returned home on Monday.

Monon road last October. He was IS

$1,000 RAILROAD men GO OUT.
STRIKE ON GRAND TRUNK sYs.
TEN TIES UP FREIGHT.
Passenger Service is consested-Milk
Famine Threatens Montreal
Strikers Are ORDERLY,

Montreal.-lt was estimated Tues.
Gay that 10000 men were out of EN-.
ployment as a result of the strike OF
employees of the Grand Trunk railroad
system which went into effect Monday
night.
The strike order was obeyed by
5000 conductors and trainmen and the
company Tuesday locked out 10000
men in the shops in the hope that they
would accept the positions deserted
by the conductors and trainmen. The
coup has not been successful.
Freight and passenger traffic on the
entire Grand Trunk system is congest.
ed. Freight is piling up in immense
quantities at the various transfer
points, with no likelihood of being
moved for long time.
A few trains were run by minor Of
ficials of the road, with office clerks to
take the tickets, but this method has
proven failure. Passengers will not
purchase tickets because of the in
ability Of the company to guarantee a
through trip to any point.
A milk famine is threatened in Mon
treal by reason of the company's fail
ure to deliver any part OF the usual
supply of that commodity from out
lying points. Also there is a marked
scarcity Ct other necessities us4
transported by the railroad.
There was nothing approaching dis
order among the strikers at any point
along the system, excepting in one in
stance. In which brakeman ON q
Grand Trunk train at Flint, Mich, was
attacked by the strikers and saved by
his mother, who shamed the strikers

Toronto. Ont.-Tha second day OF
the strike on the Grand Trunk has

Through passenger trains are running

been abandoned. No attempt is be
ing made to move freight.
The freight situation In this city Is
indeed serious. The yards and sidings
are congested with cars. The Ice
companies are suffering and much
perishable freight is being ruined. But
stories that the city is undergoing q
milk famine and soon would suffer for
want of meat are unfounded.

erhood Of Railroad Trainmen. on his

"The Brotherhood Of Railroad Train
men and the Order of Railway Con
ductors will back the strikers to their
last penny.

same terms granted by the Baltimore
