The first one was to some man in Los Angeles and it said tbat Ward expected | to be rearrested at Chicago. ‘If Mrs. | Bradbury wants me to appear I will do | 50 at any time I can, but I must first see | my wife and chiidren,’ was the way the | dispatch ended. He was always wanting | something and teliing me to be near him toactasa witness. I guess he thoaght| some one was going to lay for him wien | he got here. At Fremont, Nebr., he gave | me an unsigned telezram to the chief of detectives in Chicago, asking him to have a policeman to meet a man in the state- room on the overland train. Because it was not signed the operater would not send it, o I put his initials on the bot- tom.” Callaway says that Ward would allow no one but John Drew, the actor, who was going East to his mother’s funeral and who was in the same slceper, to come into his statercom. Drew did not stop long in Chicago and could not be seen. The police believe Ward intended to end his life in his apartment. They argue that he evidently sent the telegram to | them while bavine such idea in his mind. It was h tention, they say, to kil him- | self on the train and to bavs: his body | found by the police when the train ar- | rived in this city. This is the only mo- tive, they say, he could have bad in send- ing the telegram. | The clothing and eftects left by the dead man were carefully examined. N-arly all his linen s marked “W. R.

Ward, 168, | Grana Hotel’’ There was also a letter | h had been written to him by enrietta Ward,” who addressed him as “My dear boy,” but no place of residence or date line showing at what place the letter bad been mailed. It is believed to have come either from his mother or his | wife. Chief Claim Agent Richards of the | Northwestern Railway took charge of the | letter and refused to give out its contents, | stating that it spoke of family troubles, and would furnish no light upon the identity of either the writer or receiver, ‘Ward bad in possession a book of quota- | tions from various suthors, whick he had undoubtedly been reading just a short t:me b2fore he leaped from the train, with | passace after passage referring to women and love heavily marked with a lead | pencil. { He wore a lady’s gold watch, to the chain of which was attached a charm bearing the initials “W.

There was also found a page from a San Francisco paper of August 30, | giviug a life history and picture of Henry Bacon, said to be a well-known crim'nal, and who hud just been arrested there. | The article, however, makes no reference | to Ward and may have no connection | whatsoever with the suicide. | Ward's ticket from San Francisco to New York was found on the clothing. He | was untovched by the wheels, but his hip was broken and the means of bis instant | death was apparent from an ugly wound | in the forehead; the body was otherwise | badly bruised. The Coromer of Wheat- | land, Jowa, returned a verdict of acci-| dental death. —— GAUSED LITTLE SURPRISE.[ Ward’s Acqualntances atLos Ange- | les Knew That He Had Be- { come Dementad. LOS ANGELES, Car.. Sept. 3. —The | news of the suicide of W. Russell Ward, who gained notoriety by his indiscreet at- tentions to and final elopement with the | wife of John Bradbury, the young million- | aire of Los Angeles, was not altogether a | surprise to his most intimate friends of\ this city. From inquiries this afternoon among his friends it appears that he was men- | tally unbalanced when he jumped from | the train and was killed, as evinced by a telegram which he sent yesterday to John T. Gaffey, the husband of Mrs. Ward's sister. The telegram, which was sent | from Columbus, Nebr., having been dis- patched when the train which was bear- ing bim East stopped there, clearly showed that he was in a despondent | mood and terrible state of mind. Itreads | as follows: *“‘Am liable to be rearrested | at Chicago. S:e Mrs, Bradbury. Will re- turn when wanted. Must see my wife | and children first.” The receipt of this incoherent telegram caused Ward’s friends much anxiety, ana while they were not altogether prepared for the news of the tragedy, they were not entirely surpris:d when it was made pub- Jic. It has been known for some time that Ward has been drinking to excess and was on the verge of collapse. Among the gossip-loving public Ward’s death was a great surprise, and the cir- cumstances of the recent scandal were again freely discussed. But many were charitable enough to express a word of sympathy for Ward und the many per- sons affected by the recent social scandal. It is said tpat Mr. and Mrs. Bradbury are at present at the Tajo mines, near Mazat- Jan, Mex. Mrs. Ward and family are in England. ST M WARD’S MENTAL COLLAPSE Acted In a Very 3tr-nge Manner After Mrs. Bradbury Left This City. After the departure of Mrs. Bradbury irom this City Ward acted queeriy. One of bis friends was beard 1o express him- self that Ward had gone daft. It was cur- rently reported alung the street and in the clubs that the man was showing sizns of a mental collapse. Daring the pendency of his case in the Police Court Ward had be- come “freakish.”” It may be that the fear of punishment distressed him, or else the notoriety of the elopement worried him. At any rate his intimate friends have | one damaged. | wounded. | John Andriani, {injured by flying reck. known for some time that the man was on the verge of a breakdown. One of Ward’s fevorite pastimes for the last few days he spent in this City was to | walk about the block of which the Lotta fountain is the center. It -was his castom to begin his peregrinations from the inter- section of Kearny and Geary, thence down to the corner of Market and Montzomery streets. From that point he would cross to the Palace Hotel and slowly suroll up Market street to Third, to tke place of starting. He has spent houts of late in this occu- pation, and he was a familiar figure totke restless throng that fills this part of the City. Among his immediate associates Ward manifested decided signs of eccentricity, even at the time of hisarrest. He wasde- cidedly in love, they say, with Mrs, Brad- bury, and her desertion of Lim in his trouble is believed to have turned his brain. At any rate, Ward was believed to be insane for a week before he left San Francisco.

Four Robbers Empty the Contents of the Express Safe and Ride Away. DENVER, Coro., Sept. 4.—Word has just reached this city that the Gulf pas- senger train was held up and robbed at in Moantains last night at 11:30 o’clock by two masked men. The men were riding on the blind bag- gage and when near the point named they climbed over the tenders, and covering the engineer and fireman with revolvers they ordered them to stop the train when they reached the road crossing. At the Twin Mountains two men with four horses were stationed at the road- crossing, and as soon as the train stopped thev began to shoot th revolvers to in- timidate the passenger: Two of the men entered the express-car, compelled the messengérs to vacate, and blew open the safe. Putting the contents into sacks they mounted their harses and rode away. Immediately on receiving the news at seriously | Folsom a posse was organized and started | in pursuit. A posse was alzo started from Trinidad. Itis not known how much was secared, but it is estimated at from $5000 1o §15,000. The railroad comvany has offered a re- ward of $500 for the capture of the robbers. COOPER JACK Mc4ULIFFF, The Lightweight 1s Now Working at His 01a Irade, NEW YORK, N.

My constitution stood it for a while, but by and by I found my arms were heavy when I held them up in the ring and it was an effort to go around after my oppo- nent and avoid his rushes. *1 don't think any of my Broadway friends would know me in this rig, do you?” Then, after thinking a moment, Le heaved a sigh and attackea another big pile of staves. “‘After my day’s work,” he continued, *I run down to the river and take a swim. From there I go to the Hotel St. Andrew, where Ilive, and 1 am so tired after eating my dinner that I go to bed at once.” B Vest Makers Strike. NEW YORK, N. Y.

WOODLAND, Car., Sept. 3.—To-day’s attendance was good and the weather pleasant. The second heat of the pacing race,which was won easily by Searchlight, was the fastest heat paced or trotted this year on any track in California. Lastyear Agitato, a three-year-old, had a record of 2:9{ on the Woodland track. Search-| iight, who is also a three-year-old, equaled that mark this year during the Montana circuit, and the track was considered two seconds slow. Searchlight made the mile in this heat in 2:10, and competent and conservative horsemen say that the track to-day. owing | to temporary cenditions, was two seconds slow, while Keating eased up his horse on rounding the upper turn. Under these circumstances tne heat must be recarded asvery fast. In the third heat Keating sent Searchlight for a record and tue re-t of the bunch merely trailed around the course. Searchlight was piloted to the quartes in :32}4, to the half in 1:04, to the three-quariers in 1:37, and to the wire in 2:093{. Our Bov was secand, Bardroe third and Roan Wilkes fourth.

Late this evening when seen by a repre- sentative of the Associated Press Dr. An- drews gave out the following<: *The work to be done by the new cor- poration is in the nature of the university extension already begun by B own Uni- versity, so that the head of the Brown University might be the same person who had charze of the new work. “There would in the nature of the case be nothing incongraous in such a union as appears in the fact that President Har- per of Chicago University is also collegi- ate principal ot the Chautauqua Univer- sity. Yet I do not myself so deem that sort of a union in the present case ad- visable or likely to give satisfaction, 1f resorted to it will be onlv a device to tide over a temporary difficulty.
