He Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 24. The outfcweetern part of Hamilton county, along the Indiana line, ia greatly ex-lC(citd over one of the most brutal ever committed In that sec tion. The police of all the down-the-Jrlver towns are on the lookout for the "perpetrators, and the Cincinnati de- i-parUnent is giving: its aid in effecting their capture. Thomas Trevor and his aged wife were attacked by 'three armed, masked men at their Hhom near Bright, nn the Whitewater river, just across the Indiana line.

The aged people were subjected to 'many cruel tortures before they would reveal to the men the hiding place of money and valuables. They were aroused from their El.mbers about 8 o'clock In the morning by the presence of three men in their 'i bedroom.

Trevor excitedly asked the men I what they wanted and started to arise from the bed. The man nearest him truck Trevor a severe blow in the face and he fell back on the bed with blood streaming from an ugly wound In his forehead. Mrs. Trevor scream- e.d and fainted as the man struck the i blow, and the robbers grabbed her husband and pulled him from the bed. One of the men demanded to be told the hiding iMaee of the savings of I- the old couple, but Trevor denied that they had any money in the house, with the exception of a few dollars, which lie offered to give them.

Meanwhile the third vandal was threatening the helpless woman, who had regained her senses. The robber pulled the woman from the bed and threw her to the floor. She screamed in anguish, but it availed her nothing, and the fellow gripped her neck and threatened to choke her to death unless she revealed the hiding place of the money. The woman signified her willingness to talk, and the robber released his hold.

Mrs. Trevor told him that the money was hidden in tho springs of the bod. The other two men then released Trevor and ordered him to get the money. Seeing that any further struggle would be useless after the disclosura.by his wife, Trevor crawled under the bed and drew forth a little bag containing (312 in gold and hills, the entire savings of the old couple. The old man pleaded with the robbers not to take all the money, telling them that it was all they had in the world.

The pleadings were useless, however, and the men not only took the money, but one of them struck Trevor another cruel blow on the head, that rendered him unconscious. They then left the house. Found by a Neighbor. When a neighbor happened to pass the place about 8 o'clock yesterday morning and did not see the couple about the house as usual he investigated and found the old man lying senseless on the floor In the room and his wife in bed in the other, suffering from the shock. Owing to her old age it is not thought that Mrs.

Trevor will survive the assault, and her condition Is serious. Trevor was revived, but was unable to give a good description of the men, as the house was dark at the time and all of the robbers were masked. Later it was found that three horses had been stolen from a neighboring barn, and it is thought that the robbers, after leaving the house, broke into the barn and made their escape on horseback. Trevor makes his living by doing odd jobs for the neighboring farmers, and there is no doubt in the minds of the police that the persons who entered the house and took the money were familiar with the neighborhood and the fact that the money was in the house. Farmers in the vicinity are thor-ouhgly aroused over the cruelty of the crime, and are bending every energy to capture the perpetrators.

No trace of the stolen horses has been found, and no clew to the identity of the men was secured by the village authorities, who were soon on the scene. The police of Cincinnati and the towns have been notified to he on the lookout for them, as it is thought that they will make their way to the city.

New Orleans. Jan. 24. Toung Cor-bett of Denver, knocked out Harry Ferns of New KorK tnls evening in the eleventh round of a scheduled 20-round bout at McDonogh-vtlle, across the river from New Orleans. The match was at catch weight, both men weighing in at between 135 and 140 pounds.

The first four rounds were even, tn the sixth Corbett landed several blown to mouth and eye, drawing first blood. From, this time on Corbett had all the best of It, landing at will. The bell probably saved Ferns in the eighth, although he took his punishment gamely and came up strong In every round.

With the horses which have been running at the Suburban race track stamping restlessly in their stalls at McDonosh-villc. the doors to the gambling houses at Southport closed, and a ban placed on the sale of lottery tickets, Jefferson parish. Louisiana, is just at present experiencing days of aulet. Jefferson parish for years has been known as "the Free State of Jeffer son," so when the turfmen found that the Orleans parish otncials regarded betting In any form on horse races as a violation of the Locke law. passed at the last session of the Louisiana legislature, they very promptly moved across the river and started up.

Here a somewhat broader view of the statutes was taken, District Attorney L. H. Marrero, announcing that he did not think the Locke law was being violated and so instructed the sheriff, L. H. Marrero, Sr.

Following this announcement the races continued at Suburban park for a week, but in the meantime quite a storm had been started by those who had been instrumental in the passage of the anti-racing legislation, and attention was called to the betting at the race track as well as to the gambling at Southport. Then came Governor Sanders' ultimatum regarding both the betting on the races and the Southport gambling, and the report that he would send troops into the "Free State of Jefferson" if his or ders were not obeyed. Two arrests were thereupon made at Suburban track by the Jefferson parish authori ties, and the races stopped, at least temporarily. Assaulted Reporter Complains to Gov emor. Last night tho doors to the gambling houses at Southport were also closed.

The only violation of the law in Jefferson last night was called to the attention of the governor by a young reporter, who entered the parish to Investigate an alleged lottery. He succeeded in purchasing a lottery ticket, but before he could get away his identity was revealed and he was clubbed over the head with a revolver. He managed to beat off his assailant and, blood bespattered, made his way across the river to New Orleans, where he showed the lottery ticket to the governor. It is understood the sale of lottery tickets will be discontinued, at least temporarily. Jack Sheehan, the bookmaker, and William Ralston, his clerk, arrested at the Suburban track for violating the Locke law, will come up Monday for trial In the district court of Jefferson.

District Attorney Marrero has been excused by the governor, and the cases will be prosecuted by District Attorney St. Clair Adams of the Parish of Orleans and Assistant Attorney General Pleasant. Racing In California Doomed. San Francisco, Jun. 24.

The passage of the Walker-Otis anti race track bill by an overwhelming majority In the lower branch of the legislature waa a surprise to friends and opponents of the measure, and the result of the vote has spread consternation In the ranks of the latter. The scene of battle will shift Wednesday morning to the senate, where a last stand will be made by the opponents ot the proposed law. Its provisions are similar to those of the Hughes antt-race track bill, which has suppressed pool selling in the State of New York, with the one exception that the pool sellers In California will be allowed 60 days In which to wind up their affairs.
