been employed by Mr.. Rawn's son-in-
law and clues secured by them, It is
stated may lead to the arrest at anv
moment Of the man who shot and
killed the railroad president.
The suicide or murder as the case
may be- occurred at Mr.. Rawn's sum
mer home in Winnetka. The first
story given out by the family was that
ne heard noise on the first floor of
MS nome and had gone down to in
Vestigate when two shots were heard
The general belief prevailed that he
had met with foul play at the hands
OF burglars. -
Following close upon this came the
theory of the Chicago police that IL
was clear case of suicide, owing to
the fact that Rawn was involved in the

that 1t would have brought utter ruin
to him had he lived.

The third day Of the state fair
opened with cloudy skies which for a
time boded rain and kept many from
going out to the fair until after din
ner, so during the morning hours there
was not much doing on the grounds
as compared to previous days. But
from noon on the crowds more than
made up for their laggardness of the
morning and fairly focked through the
gates. There was a refreshing breeze
which delightfully."- tempered the air
and the clouds were boon, giving re-
lief to the glare of previous DAYS.
The judges of the various divisions
were busy as bees during the entire
day and the entremen were an anxious
lot until the results were tipped OFF
or announced.
Entertaining the Editors.
The editors of the state gathered at
the administration building this morn
ing as the guests of the fair associa-
ton. Many of them were accompanied
by their wives and all were intent on
having good time.
Under the personal attention of Vice
President w. A. Scott the pen pusher3
were taken to dinner at 11:45 a. m. in
the big dining hall and given a feed
which put them in good shape to see
the sights. After dinner the editors
