He wanted to fight very badly. Miller, Connor, Pietz, Dowd and Breitenstein ware elling and dancing about Hurst as if he com- mitted an atrocious murder.

He is fond of nie horses, certainly, dut it is the fondness of a true lover of horse- flesh. He admires them for biood, speed and endurance, not for their capacity to make money. Mr. Daly has enough of that com- modity already. Although his horses are known to every follower of the turf from one end of the country tothe other, the face of Mr. Daly is knownto but few racing men. It is probable that he does not see more than one race A year, dut there is no student of 10 more thoroughly acquainted with the form and abilities of horses than air. Daly.

Schroeder, Holy Tria ity Chureh, Certain It Was the Train Rebber’s Body Feund im the Meramec. Detective Dodge ofthe Wells Fargo Ex- press Co. to-day said there is no longer any doubtin his mind thatthe dead man taken from the Meramec at Pacific was the robber who attempted to hold up the Friseo train. In addition to corresponding in size and dress to the description given by Mes- senger Ferguson, the detective has learned that when the body was first found the pistol cket of his trousers was turned inside out, fad dicating that it had been pulled out when the robber hurriedly drew his revolver in the expresscar. Another convincing argument wus finding the bullet red by Fergu- son. it was found in the express car and microscopic examination shows it to ke covered with blood. it struck a sill in the upper part of the floor but did not penetrate the wood, indicating that its force had been spent in passing through the The place where directly on a line where Ferguson lay when he fired and where he could have hit after first striking the robber.
