RAILROAD PRESIDENT.

Railroad System.
Chicago. July 20. Ira G. Rawn
a millionaire and president of
the Monon Railway, was shot
through the heart and instantly
killed at his summer home in
Winnetka early this morning by a
obber. The burglar escaped.
There is no clue to his identity.
The servants and women in the
house were aroused by shots and
found Rawn lying in the hallway
on his face. The front door was
open and investigation showed It
was opened by the use of a jim
my. The assassination was a
climax of reign of crime that has
driven residents of the fashiona-
BILE nerthshore suburb almost to
a frenzy. Mrs. Rawn said her
husband heard sounds on lower
floor of the house and went down
to investigate. He was shot as
soon as he reached the lower floor.
She was the only person in the
house awake at the time, the
shots arousing the others. Mr..
Rawn was 55 years old. He began
life as a telegraph operator at Is
and had risen through various
positions to the presidency of the
Monon.

Grant BEGINS CAMPAIGN
will Pursue Similar Tactics
Which Characterised the Con-
test Two Years Age.


CONGRESSMAN John g. Grant
leaves today on his initial tour IN
this, his second Congressional
campaign. He is scheduled to
sneak today at Bat Cave this
bo;ng his first political speech of
the season, and it is to be recalled
with much pleasure by his closest
friends that are right here in the
shadows of Bear Wallow Noun
tain. Henderson county's Con-
pressman first saw the aurora of
dawn. Doubtless his boyhood
companions are glad to welcome
the wanderer back to the scenes
of his boyhood days to make the
second beginning of what he
would choose to be an historic
career. Undoubtedly friends take
encouragement in the apt saying
Of Emerson that friendship

time,'' and the old adage that.
"there are no friends like old
friends.
Mr.. Grant will be accompanied
BY the Hon. w. C. McRorie, re-.
publican nominee for the solicitor
ship from Rutherford county.
They have arranged, it is under
stood, to tour together the four
countless, Rutherford, Mcdowell,
Buncombe and Henderson as
these counties of the fourteenth
judicial district are included in
the Tenth Congressional district.
Their program is scheduled and
posted in republican sanctums Of

speaking few times in this coun-

A Herald reporter sought out
Mr.. Grant yesterday in the hope
of interviewing him, but presuma-
bly, for the reason that he had just
received, an invitation from the
Hon J. NJ. Gudger, Jr., to meet
him in the field for an open de-
bate, which very likely had dis
concerted Mr.. Grant for the pre-
sent, he was reticent and an in
terview Mr.. Grant would not
grant, only saying, "I have no
plans that [ want published. ;"
In view of this fact it was impos-
able to ascertain whether or not
he will campaign this time with a
Latin Grammer, or if this is a
bay kissing" tour he is making
as some astute mind has termed
it.
1t could not be learned posti-
Vely that Mr.. Grant would decline
the very courteous invitation that
ne undoubtedly received yester-
day, but his party friends who
are On the "inside" and observ-
ing closely the manueovering of

According to the best authorities, the
worlds consumption of brush is less

could be produced on 10000 acres,
and the territory and men equipped
for and engaged in broom corn grow

present production if the demand war
