relatives of the eleven men killed by

d MAN DING
A HEARING
REPRESENTATIVES. OF INSURE
ANCE COMPANIES DEMAND A
FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO
THE DEATH OF IRA RAWN.
(Herald SpecIaI.)

Chicago, July 22-Representative
of the insurance companies which hold
Ira Rawn's policies for the amount of
$145,000 today demanded a further in
vestigation into the cause of his
death. They say that c. F. Hattely,
foreman of the coroner's jury, is not
qualified to act in that capacity be-
cause of his friendship for the family.
Hattely and the family still insist
that Rawn was murdered The life
companies, holding policies for $780,
600, will pay the amount regardless,
but the accident companies insist on
a thorough investigation, and if it is
a case of suicide they want it known.
Coroner Hoffman says he has received
a confidential letter saying that a
negro killed Rawn for the purpose of
robbery, but refuses to make known
the author of the letter or name the
suspect.

The passengers of the smoker OF
Train 1O2, the westbound express when
leaves Augusta at 3,55 p. NJ, were up
against a. mystery yesterday after
noon, as were the train men. ana
which was not solved until the train
had reached this city. About the time
that the train passed the Riverside
station a smell of smoke was noticed
in the car, not the kind that is charae-
teristic of smoking cars. but blue
yapor the odor OF which suggested
burning cloth. Some Of the passengers
thought there must be a hot box on
one of the trucks but the train men
thought differently because the smoke
was different from the well-knoWn
oder which arises from burning cot
ton waste and oil in a hot box. but
they did not know what ii really was.
When the train reached Augusta a
search was made with the result tnat
smoke was discovered issuing from a
suit case in one of the overhead racks
of the car. 1t was the work OF mo-
uent to carry the case to the door of
the car and open it. and as this was
done the contents of the case were
found to be on, fire.. The burning mass
was quickly thrown out and as the
fire had burned but slowly large pro-
portion of the contents of the case were
saved the articles burned including a
shirt. two or three collars. four-in-
hand tie ard whisk broom holder.
The cause Of the fire was not learned.

This year one entire section Of the
train is required to haul the parade
equipment. There are shows in the
country which claim to be the largest.
The entire train Of any one Of them Is
not large enough to. sven hold what

It would seem that after taking first
place among all the shows of the
world the circus that is soon to be
here, would be content with that dis
tinction. But such is not the case,
Not satisfied to leave well enough
alone, it has contrived by the spending
OF vast fortunes to Still enlarge the or

stands as a sort of a worlds eighth
wonder. There is not another show
that could duplicate any one of Its one

Of performers is wonderful thing To
contemplate Not in the history OF
