had q bundle of paper bags in, has arms.
His face was badly eaten by wolves,

Frank Dresser, a brother to the one

the dead body of white man dressed

their hellish work.

TURF GHOULS.

different clubs to class OF turf ghouls that have
sprung into existence in the last few years. There

arising from the actions of this class of men, more
especially to the Eastern racing associations. We

the way, they have q few pupils and follow
In the South and West, to whom our
remarks will equally apply. The turf taken
u whole Is rs pure as any other profession fol-
most respected citizens of the country. But IL Is
useless to deny the fact that fraudulent practices
have crept into racing and been on the

OF two or three bad men, whose names and doings

that soon, IL the purity and hitherto high standing
OF the turf is to be maintained. These turf gho uls
