SHOT FIRED FROM THE STREET Supposed to Have Been Murdered by Man With Whom He Had Trouble Over Payment of Bill. "Death Valley" has another murder mystery.

Detective "Jack" Shevlin, who cleared up the most complicated of "Death Valley's" mysteries, has been assigned to the latest murder. He is assisted by Special Officer James Crowl. Byard Barnett, a cook, living at No. 308 West Quincy street, was murdered at Twenty-first and Chestnut streets yesterday morning at 3:45 o'clock. Barnett was a cook in a lunch wagon.

While at work he was shot by a man who stood in the street. So fur the police have found no one who saw the person fire the shot. Detectives Shevlin and Crowl are searching for three well-dressed young men, who, it ig said, had trouble with Barnett about midnight. They have learned that a quarrel arose over the payment of a lunch bill and that. Barnett struck one of the men with a frying pan.

The police learned that John Stewart of No. 5 North Twenty-first street, Frank Sullivan of No. 1114 South Fourth street and John A. Cambridge of No. 2615 North Ninth street were eating lunch in the wagon when Barnett was shot.

They did not see man who fired the shot. They ran from the stand, but saw no person in the vicinity. Each says that the report of the pistol denoted that the assassin stood within fifty feet of Barnett when the shot was fired. William Hancock of No. 2328 Olive street, a waiter in the lunch stand, who carries orders to saloons and houses in the neighborhood, was returning from a near -by saloon when the shot was fired.

He saw the flash of the pistol. HANCOCK GIVES DESCRIPTION. Hancock says he did not gee the person who fired the shot well enough to positively identify him, but believes that it was one of the three men who had trouble with Barrett three or four hours before. He described the man who was struck with the frying pan as about 32 years old. 5 feet 9 inches in height.

dark hair, dark mustache and he wore dark clothes. Hancock says the three men gave what is known as "fancy orders" and ate as it quite hungry when the food was served. They disagreed with Barrett as to the price they should pay. One of them became abusive and threatened Barrett, whereupon the latter struck him with a pan. It contained hot grease, and it is believed the stranger's face was burned.

The man ran from the wagon howling from pain. His companions took him away. Several pollcemen who were attracted by the shot were soon on the scene, but the murderer was not in sight. Barrett was placed in an ambulance and hurried to the City Hospital. The hospital surgeons found that he was dead and his body was taken to the morgue.

"I believe we will capture Barrett's murderer within a short time," said Chief Desmond. "and when he is caught you will find that he is a hoodlum. Further than that I do not care to discuss the case. have no theory to offer. Sherlock Holmes worked on theories, but modern detectives require facts." MYSTERIES OF DISTRICT.

In the last ten years half a dozen murders have been committed in the district between Market street and Washington avenue. Twentieth to Twenty-second streets, known as "Death Valley." Charles Brandt, who wag killed at Twentyfirst and Chestnut streets, was the most prominent of those who have lost their lives in the district. Detective Sherlin distinguished himself for clever work on this case. He found that John O'Connor, who was implicated in the robbery and murder of Brandt, had gone to Cincinnati and obtained employment in a factory. Shevlin went to Cincinnati, got work in the same factory, donned overalls and jumper and worked side by side with O'Connor.

He worked himself into the confidence of O'Connor and finally got a confession from him. Then making himself known he arrested O'Connor. who was brought back to St. Louie. He enterd a plea of guilty and was sentenced to fifteen years in the Penitentiary.

Other murders in "Death Valley." some of which are still mysteries. were the killing of Saloonkeeper A. Jamison at Twenty-first and Market streets; Ignatz Goldman, Twenty-first and Olive streets: Mark Murphy, a gambler, at Twenty-first and Chestnut streets: Attorney Donohue, Twenty-seeond street and Washington avenue; Oliver. alias "Curly."

Rivalries Among Engineers Show Displeasing Signs. New York, May of harmony among the Associations of Engineers in this county may nullify an offer of Andrew Carnegle to give $1,000,000 or more with which to establish a national center for engineering interests in this city.

Not until very recently was it known to more than three men to whom Mr.

Carnegie confided his plan that he intended to found an institution which would be unique, both in this country and in Europe. He intended that his gift should be to erect a magnificent building as a monument of his gratitude to a profession with which his business success has been closely identified.

and as the matter now stands it needs only the harmonious action of the councils of the associations concerned, a meeting of which be held Thursday, to utilize his gift.
