That deal was closed within the past week, and Mr. Keene is credited with baving made a million and a quarter out of [t. Thus James R. Keene !s again on top of the heap. For years this man of indomitable pluck has been fighting with his’back to the wall. During that time he has made phenomenal! Winnings, but most of the money had to f° to pay debts made in former deals. A ttle more than a year ago he made 72,000, 000 in two months by cleverly man- color and a jaunty hat trimmed in the season's style.

The eyes of everybody in the courtroom were upon her as ehe gazed about the room, Prosecuting Attorney Pomerene was the first of the counsel to put in an appear- ance and he spent some time in looking over the criminal code of laws. In a few minutes Mrs. George's counsel, customers Monday held this large animal by a rope about 30 feet long that had one end securely wrapped around the geteer’s horns. At first the powerlul animal was docile enough. Then something happened that frightened it and the anima! began to rear and p!unge. Mesmer had one end wrapped around his wrist that he might the more easily man- age the steer. It was this that caused the trouble, for when the maddened -animal began charging both man and the steer be- came entangled in the rope. Mesmer. wes unable to release his hold. The steer charged on the crowd of spec- tators, dragging the superintendent with him. The crowd scampered away, but all were not quick enough to escape the in- furiated animal. Several were knocked down, but as the animal was hampered by the rope they were enabled to escape with- quarters. The men will not be mustered out until every man in every c@mpany has under- gone the physical exarminatien. That will not be finished before about 30 days. In the meantime the men will be held ai camp, no more furloughs being allowed. It is expected, however, that very little drilling will be done, as the arms and accoutrements were all given up before the last furlough. Maj. Harrison is now in charge of the mustering out, having superseded Maj. Brinkerhoff. ‘“‘We have but one: surgeon at present, Dr. Girard,”’ the Major said, “and he hat his hands full with over 100 sick at the post. We expect two additional surgeons lonesome at his home, and awkward, as men are, about keeping it, and he de- termiued that he wouid engage a house- keeper until he could find a wife. So he answered the advertisement. Thursday’s mail brought him an answer. It told him to call at 1525 Carr street. He went, and there he found Miss Kate Hum- mel, a buxom young woman of 20. le 6 wag cabs in the Kosensteir family,/ living ere. Ryland talked business with Miss Hum- mel, and in five minutes they had struck a bargain, and were on their way to Ry- land’s home, at Ellendale Station Miss Hummel went to work in the kitcnen and made things hum.

Tobacco Trust stock has risen from par to 164.75 and gone tumbling back again to 118.50 within a very few months. Wall Street Was astounded. ‘“‘Outsiders’’ were at a@ loss to eccount for a decline of 39% points in the shares. or a shrinking of over $7.000,- in the value of the $20,000,000 of common shares of the Tobacco Trust. It meant ruin to many and a fortune to James R. Keene. Now it appears that intrigue and revenge Hgure in the story of the memorable slump. A year @go0, 'n company with H. C. Ter- rell, O. H. kayne, representing the Standard Oil Trust, James B. Duke, now President of the Tobacco Trust, and a representative of the firm cf Moore & Schley, Mr. Keene get out to obtain contro) of the American Tobacco Company. By that tune Mr. Keene owned between 765,000 and 100,000 — of the company's Stock. ‘lhe greiter€portion of the remainder was in the possession of the four other men. Mr. eene got his stock at inside figures, buying it at private sale consider- ably below par. The heavy purchases made by these five men naturally sent the stock booming, and even when it had reached the | mighest figure—144.75--dealings were heavy. here Is said to have been an agreement that none of the five men in the deal should sell any stock, at least until nego- tiations thai had heen started with the Manufacturers of plug tobacco should have bee completed. They were trying to force the plug tobacco manufacturers into their combinatior. Rumors of thie greater tobacco interests and from Kansas City in a few days. WAY DIE.

This was given him by Justice Reigner and while it was being examined, Attorney J. J. Grant a close friend and counsel of the deceased came in and sat beside the prosecutor. Alter reading over the affidavit very carefully, Mrs. George’s counsel spent some time in looking over the criminal laws and then attorney Welty said they were ready for the arraignment. He said they desired to walve the reading of the affidavit and enter a plea of not guilty to the charge. Prosecutor Pomerene said that they had a right to waive the reading of the affida- vit, out*that the prisoner must answer for herself as to her guilt or innocence. With this statement by the Prosecutor, Justice Reigner asked Mrs. George if she was guilty or not guilty to the charge made against her in the affidavit. Mrs. George, while seemingly not dis- turbed in the least, but in a very weak and Sourcely audible voice, answered “Not guilty.” | After the arraignment there was some little controversy between the attorneys as to the (me for the preliminary hearing. Prosecuting Attorney Pomerene desired to have the time for the preliminary hearing set for Saturday, on account of engage- ments in Common Pleas Court every day during the week. Mrs. George's counsel insisted on having the hearing within the Stytutory. time, four days, and then Prose- cutor Pomerene named the hour for Tues- day afternoon at 1 o'clock, which Was or- dered.

By this time a dozen employes of the stock yards arrived and went to their su- perintendent’s rescue. Ropes were passed over the steer’s body and he was securely bound. When the animal lifted his head, willing hands drew Wesmer out of harm's way. He was driven hurriedly to the North End Dispensary in a carriage. Dr. Peake said the injuries were exceedingly grave. The wounded man was conscious, though e was suffering excrutiating pain... He asked to be sent to his home and his wish was complied with.

Anthony Kunzie, who did the cutting, was arrested an hour later by Sergt. Mcfar- land and is now held in the Central Dis- trict Station. According to Kunzie’s version of the af- fair. Busby assaulted him near his home about 6 o'clock Sunday. In the row Kunzie cut him several times with a razor in self- defense. The trouble was originally due to a dispute about a woman at a dance ii North St. Louis Saturday night. Mrs. Boehmer and a friend of Busby’s, who was seen at the house, refused tv make any etatement.
