officer OF the law at Lamar and also
because personally | knew him to be
the best man could get for the po-

well placed, too.
Fearless Officer.

heart and mind endeared him to me-

was one OF my best men.

May. 1910. just a year after became

braveness and his coolness In coping
with the situation. He was a wonder

never forgotten it."
Family Frustrated.
Mrs. Russell and her mother are
prostrated by the news at their home.
No funeral arrangements have been

FIRST MAN KILLED SINCE 1900


Captain Russell is the first man
who has met tragic death In peni-
tentiary circles since the night of
January %. 1900. when Night Captain
WIN. c. Rooney was stabbed to death
by one of Ave desperate convicts who
were seeking TO escape. He Is the
first man to die during Warden Ty-
mans regime. A. B. Emory OF this
city. however. was shot during the
break in May. 1910. and Is crippled
for life as a result.
Captain Russell and also Captain
Rooney were among the most popu-
lar and capable men In the employ Of
the pen and It seems strange that
these two men should both reach such
untlmely deaths.

there and since coming to this part of

entrances to their underground hiding
place and attempted to starve them
out. They had suspicion that some
OF the Baldwin family would make an
offer to help the imprisoned men. The
constant search was rewarded in the
early morning when two OF the young
ger Baldwins were captured trying TO
smuggie food into the men. The posse
took the boys and pushing them be-

placed them under arrest.

FEELS DEEPLY LOSS or RUSSELL


Warden lyman is greatly gricved
over the loss of his night captain and
good friend. John d. Russell. Ever
since he received the news he has
been In nervous state and the blow
for him is hard one to bear.
He feels in a degree he is some
what responsible although he did
everything that he could do in the
way OF giving caution and acauain.-
ing Captain Russell with the facts as
regards the bad reputation OF Bald
win. While It is just one OF thoze
trasedIss that will happen as long a.
there are desperadoes. Warden Ty-
man feels deeply the loss OF one Of his
best men.

MIKE MURPHY DIES
AFTER LONG illness
MOST SUCCESSFUL TRACK COACH
EVER KNOWN IN THIS
COUNTRY.

PHILADELPHIA, June 4.-Mich-
ael c. Murphy, famous as a developer
of athletes, died shortly after 3
o'clock this afternoon. Death was
due to a complication of diseases.
Never a robust man, Mike" Murphy
had been practically dying for the
past Is years. About eight years ago
he was at deaths door, but he recov-
cred and was later able TO render
great service in his chosen calling.
Murphy was born in Natick, Mass
in 1860 and early in life became
prominent as a trainer Of athletes
He had charge Of the American
teams at three Olympic meets, the
last being the victorious team Of last
year.
Many of the best college athletes
in America have been developed by
Murphy. To his wonderful know
ledge Of the conditioning of men was
due his selection as the trainer in
charge Of the three foreign invasions,
all of which turned out successful He
had charge OF the combined teams OF
the New York Athletic club and the
University of Pennsylvania which
represented America in the Olympic
games at Paris in 1900; the three
American teams the London Olym-
pics in 1908 and the American teams
to the games in Stockholm in 1912.
Murphy was also the trainer Of the
New York Athletic team which de-
feated the London Athletic team in n
dual track meet in 1895.
During his career Murphy was a
follower Of all kinds Of athletics. He

sidered the greatest coach OF track

came to the University of Pennsyl-
vania. lie remained in Philadelphia
four years and then went back to
Yale, but returned here in 1906 and

trainers. He never had a team fin
ish worse than third I'm the Intercol-
legiate track competitions and for
five years straight he won the cham
pionship for Pennsylvania.
Before he was "a years old he be-
came the trainer Of John L. Sullivan.

Murphy conceived the idea Of finding
a man able to defeat Sullivan. He
searched for a year through the wilds
OF Canada and the lumber camps OF

JOHNSON DRAWS
YEAR AND A DAY
NEGRO rUGlIIST SENTENCED
FOR VIOLATING WHITE
SLAVE ACT.
WILL CONTINUE The FIGHT


CHICAGO, June 4.-Jack johnson,
negro heavyweight champion today
was sentenced to one year and one
day In the state penltentlary al Joliet
and fined $1,000 for violation Of the
Mann white slave act
Sentence was pronounced on John
son after Federal Judge Carpenter
had denied "A motion for a new trial.
johnson obtained two weeks time IN
which 10 prepare IA writ of error and
the bond for $4,000 on which he
has been at liberty since his cunyic-
ton. was allowed to stand
Half dozen deputy United states
marshals, who had grouped them
selves about johnson In anticipation
OF resistance when the prison sen
tence was given. left the room when
Judge Carpenter announced that the
fighter would continue temporarily
at liberty
The sentence 20 the state pcniten-
tiary Is the result or a recent order
from Washington that all persons
convicted in this district should be
sent to the state prison, owing to
the crowded condition of the federal
prison at Leavenworth, Kan. Johnson
left the court room declaring that he
would not give up his fight for lib
erty
1T has been hard to determine
what punishment should be meted
out IN this case" said Judge Carpen-
ter IN passing sentence. I'VE have
had other cases where defendants
have ben sentenced TO one or two
years in the penltontiary
The circumstances in this ease
have been aggravating. The life of
the defendant, by his own admissions,
has not been a moral one. The de-
fendant Is one Of the best known men
of his race and his example has been
far reaching.
THE sentence shall be that the de-
fendant shall be confined a year and
day in the Joliet penitentary, and
that he shall be fined $1,000"
johnson was convicted May 10, of
having paid for the transportation of
Belle Schneider from Pittsburgh to
Chicago.
