overheard d conversation between

/ fact that Chasttne answered the de-
scription of the murderer, prompted

wanted man.
| Wise opened conversation with
Chastine and later played cards with
him. Learning the former switchman
intended to leave. the boy slipped away
and telephoned the East Moline police.

Iutes later the train that would have
borne Chastine far away pulled in.
The story Of the crime as pieced to-
gether by the East Moline police and
the sheriff's office is as follows:
Dan Chastine was employed as a
switehman by the Rock Island road
until last Thanksgiving day, when he
was discharged, accused Of drinking
He blamed Alvine, the special agent
for his dismissal and is alleged to
have made remarks against him.

aSYDNEY, Australia, Jan. 2.-Re.
suits OF hundred: Duke, cunha, Barry.
Time, So as seconds.
; ~ \ "EvANS."

The above, brief cable, received this
morning by w. T. Rawlins, chronicles
great victory for Duke kahan amoku
and George Cunha in their initial ap-
pearance in Australian waters. The
time sets new worlds record, cutting
J a full second of Dukes owIf mark
made here last February, and the fact
that George Cunha finished ahead of
Barry, Australia's crack sprint SWIM
mer, makes it probable that the
Healani swimmer also covered the dis
tance in faster time than ever before.
The conditions of the race were 100
yards straightaway.
Duke Kahanamoku set the mark of
544-5 seconds here February 21 last,
at the carnival swimming meet. On
June IL last he equaled this mark,
and was closely pressed by Cunha in
the race.
Kahanamoku and Cunhar will swim
in another Australian meet January
4, and with both men in rare form
it seems likely that all the Australian
records that they go against are in
imminent danger of being fractured.
