Chicago, Sept 8.—Blood was spilled at the Garfield park race-track Tuesday afternoon. The crack of the revolver mingled with the cries of the
jockeys, and dead and wounded men
p'. a
were carried
from the grounds
in patrol wagons. J. M. Brown, part owner of the J. M. Brown & Co.
stables, was killed
after a desperate
struggle with
nearly fifty
policemen.
Officer John Powell
was killed instant-
ly, four bullets
having cut their way
through his flesh
and muscles. Officer
Henry McDowell was
probably mortal-
ly wounded, and lies

Oftioer McDowell lay gasping with his hand upon his stomach. Jlis fingers were covered with blood that trickled from a small hole in his blue coat. Four men picked him up and carried him to the sidewalk 011 Springfield avenue, where they tore open his clothes and tried to stanch the llow of blood. "Who shot you, McDowell?*' a brother oflieer asked. **Tho man who lies dead over there behind the fence," was the reply.
McDowell weakly told his story while waitiug for the patrol wagon that was to take him to the hospital. "Some one said the roan who was tunning across tiie open spaed %vas Hrown and I took after him. When I got nearly to him he pulled his revolver and shot and missed me. Ky 'this time I was in the alley and I tried to shoot him, and ho again shot at ine, hitting me in the stomach."
to stop.
rubh was made toward Hrown.
Further than this Officer McDowell was unable to say, as the pain in his stomach was severe. On the arrival of the patrol wagon the stretcher was brought out and the wounded officer carefully placed upon it and taken to the county hospital. Officer Powell's remains were taken to his home, at 358 Center avenue, and the body of Brown was taken to the morgue. Shortly after the bhooting a large crowd collected about the sheds and filled the allej'way, and visitors to the bloody field came until dark. The fcnce and the boards of the shed were splintered and many of the imbedded bullets were dug out and preserved as souvenirs of the fray.
Career of the Dead Horseman. ¶ Col. James M. Brown was an exsheriff from Sherman, Texas, He was a cool, quiet little man, 52 years old, slight of build, pale of face, but determined and courageous. He died as he would have chosen to die had he been given his chance. His gun, emptied in every chamber, was clinched in his hand. He wore his boots and he had put two more notches on the stick that was already scarred with the record of fourteen battles to the death.
He came to Chicago in May with a fine string of horses which he entered at Garfield park for the season. His leave-taking of Texas it is said was precipitated by a murder committed April 27, 1892. Brown was worth at least half a million.

it was a day of mourning at the Garfiqfid park club's track. Flags floated atilialf mast from the grand stand and a fineral air of gloom and dejection •wi* observable on every face. The triple tragedy was the sole topic of conversation and eye witnesses of the affair rehearsed the details, while scores of curious individuals traversed the ground and viewed the spot where Col. .lames Hrown and the two policemen bit the dust. Xo attempt wa» made to resume racing, although the club officials had determined to go on at all hazards. The programme had been issued as usual, and at the headquarters of the elul) it was confidently asserted that racing would go on as usual. At the last moment, however, this plan was changed, and the races declared off. This was possibly due to Chief McClaughry's declaration that he would prevent racing, and positively would not allow the elub to open its gates. In the present heated condition of sentiment on both sides another clash could hardly occur without more bloodshed and this consideration probably moved the club officers to declare the races oil.
