KILLED HIS SISTER
WITH FATHERS GUN
The Slayer Was Only Four Years OF
Age And The Tragedy Was
Purely Accidental.
Special to The Neaos.

Monroe, La, June 6.-About
o'clock Saturday afternoon the four
year-old son of Conductor Young, of
the Iron Mountain Railroad, shot and
almost instantly killed his six-year-old
sister, the little fellow using his faith
er's "A Colts revolver. The ball PEN
etrated the left temple and lodged in
the brain of the little girl. The chill
dren were playing>in the home OF their
parents, not far from the Iron Noun
tain depot, when the boy got posses
sion of the big pistol and somehow
managed to pull the trigger, the weap-
on being of the self-action patent.
Those at the house were startled
by the report and were shocked be-
young expression to see the life blood
of the pretty child spattered over the
floor. Medical aid was summoned and
neighbors and friends rushed in will
ing and ready to render all the aid
possible, but in less than twenty min
utes the little victim breathed her
last. The entire household is bowed
down in grief, and the sympathy OF
all Monroe goes out to the parents in
this terrible tragedy.

SANDBAGGED Men

Springfield Shows That Certain

Special to The NetOS.

Special to The Neaos.
Springfield, ILL.,, June 6.-After John
Dixon, of Peoria and Henry Lemm,
of Pekin, wealthy fish dealers, had
testified before the Sangamon County
grand jury Saturday afternoon regard
ing fish bill Jack pot" to which
Lemm contributed and which Dixon
said he collected, States Attorney
Burke, left for Beardstown and other
Illinois river points, where he will
fish for evidence to connect if posi-
BILE the collection of money and its
payment to certain members of the
legislature.
There is a mystery here which l
intend to solve" declared the prose-
cutor. "Of the collection of the jack
pot there is no doubt, Lemm and
others have contributed. A sand
bagging game has been worked on
Lemm and other fishermen. Dixon
admits collection of some of the mon
ey, but he did not pay it direct TO any
member of the legislature and it is to
trace the payment of the money that
| will now give attention"
While much attention is being CIV
en- to the fish bill fund by Prosecutor
Burke, evidence submitted indicates
this Is trivial compared with the big
jack pot raised to control heavier leg
islation. Thomas Beckemeyer is to-
day authoritatively reported to have
mentioned a number of bills. For
the local option bill eliminating the
township feature and making the city
or village the unit to be voted upon,
Beckemeyer is said to have stated a
pot of 100000 was raised, but this
has been strenuously denied by rep
resentatives of the liquor interests.
For the so-called corporation tax bill
which was passed and vetoed it is re-
ported a fund of $4,000 was raised,
while $4,000 is the sum mentioned in
connection with the bill providing for
transfer of valuable lake front lands
to certain Chicago corporations.

as well as he could.
All Clean Fights.
All the fights pulled off last even
ing were good ones. and the clean
knockouts In them suited the hun
dreds of fans who were present.
First Preliminary.
The Gans-Sarconi bout was the
first one on, the first round OF
this six-round contest being all to
Sarconi. The second round was
Cans. but the third, fourth and fifth
when the knockout came, were all
sarGoni's.
II was clean fighting from the
start. and when his opponent took
I the count one round short of the
limit, Sarconi jumped into the all
and cracked his heels together
In the third round of this go both
men landed some good punches, body
blows by Sarconi being the most eff.
fective.
The fourth was all Sarconi's, foI
he drove Cans around the ring and
up against the ropes, nearly finishing
the fight in that round.
In the fifth Cans swung wild and
by the middle of the round SarconI
put him out with a right and left

Delay Between Bouts.
There was some delay before the
men for the next bout appeared
caused by the demand that the money
be put up with the referee before
Bauersocks would enter the ring.

ever, there was no doubt that the

he lay face down on the mat.
Fast and Furious.
The last and principal fight was
fast and furious, the men realizing
that the crowd had had its appetite
whetted for some good fighting by
the two preliminaries.
In the first round each man did
about the same amount of work, both
landing on the face and Hoao get.
ting in one on the body.
The second round saw some fast
fighting and wicked punches, Hoao
landing repeatedly, and from his
crouching position being hard for
McGurn to reach. The second was
all Hoao's round, McGurn starting off
by rushing, but being met every
time by Hoao, who got in blow aft
er blow to the face and body. Just
before the end Of the round he land.
ed one on the side of the jaw that
turned McGurns head around, but
the same sort just as the gong
sounded.
First Blood.
First blood was drawn in the third
with stiff punch to Hoaos nose
but before this blood came Hoao had
lant.ed several times on McGurn's
face and jaw. Hoao started in ia
punish Mourn right here, and the
Irish lad took all that was coming
TO him. II looked at one time as II
the Hawaiian had him: he was SO
helpless that he could not get his
hands up to guaYd his face, and yet
all the hooks that Hoao landed could
not put the lad from the Coast out
of business. Before the end of the
round, McGurns head seemed ia
clear somewhat, and he went after
tIoao. The gong at the end of this
round probably saved both men, for
each was weak when time sounded.
Last Round.
When the men came in for the
next round, Hoao had not recovered
from the punishment he had receiv-
ed the way McGurn had done, and
the latter started in to fight hard.
He went after the Honolulu lad, and
although the local boy landed on the
body few times, he was followed
up each time by McGurn forcing the
fighting. Both We're wild II few
