Q BAzOO reporter, Monday afternoon, as he
boarded the train with ticket in his

Kaw.
HE is entered in the mile DASH" con-
tiuued Capt. Stevens, and am very badly
mistaken if he does not win place in the
race-that is, either first, second or third
money"
"How many starters will there be and
when does the race take place ?" asked the
reporter. .
and they 60 tomorrow Tuesday, after
noon."
"Then it is pretty safe to say YOU will
buy few pools on the SEED ala horse?"
Il will buy him for place in the race.
for feel confident he will get there"
In writing up Tuesday afternoons races
the Kansas City Times of yesterday con-
tanned the following, which goes to show
that Capt. Stevens judgment was excel
lent:
"The mile dash was the exciting event
of the day. There were seven entries, all
slick ones. and all appeared at the scratch
for the start. They were Valet. Aliendo.
Katie B. Atwood, Armo, King, Lyon and
Golly Hale. They drew positions as usual,
Valet at the pole and Goily Hale ON the
outside. Hancock gave them the start
with but little trouble, all getting off well
together. VALET went to the front at the
first turn and held il by length at the
irst quarter, with Aliepdo second aud At
wood third, all the others being in bunch
20 the rear. There was 10 change 20 The
half, but on the next turn Aliendo dashed
to the side of Valet, and they came into

with Attend, In the lead. Valet, making
a struggle TO regain the first place, went
under the wire at the side of Aliendo, who
took the dash in LAC, Atwood third, all
the others rafting in bunch TO the wire

concluded with wild cheers from the grand

dents on the north side of the railroad that
rowdies and rut1ans, rendered bold by the

OF fire arms at all hours of the night, OBJ
scene language used by colored hoOdlums

and converted into kindling wood are some
of the grievances which the residents of

Enceo.

MIR. and Mrs. hcGgr M q Warren. who
occupy rooms over Cain 4 os' store, corner

of InsiC erablA gossip yesterday, and many

Several months ago Mrs. Warren left her
husband, alleging that he was given to dis.
sipation and failed to provide for her. Al
ter couple of months a reconciliation was
effected, and apparently there has been ne
further trouble between them until Wednes-
day night. At that time Mrs. Warren
visited the minstrel performance at the
opera house, in company with her married
sister, and then returned home.
Warren, who has been clerking in Main
street grocery store for some months pas.
went OH q spree Wednesday night. and
when he returned home and found that hia
wife had visited the opera house, his anger
knew no bounds
He accused her of conduct unbecoming o
lady, and threatened to do her bodily harm.
Mrs. Warren, of course, was greatly
and Aed to neighbours, and sub
took up her abode with her mar
ned sister, where she was found by BAzoo
reporter yesterday.
An attempt was made to interview her.
but she refused to divulge anything, saving
he would speak at the proper time. She
llleges that her husband has treated her
ruelly for a long time past, and his brutal
ondu 4 is simply unbearable.
An effort was made to see Warren and
'btain his version of the trouble, but it was
earned that he was in no condition to he
and the matter was dropped.
Warren has been married twice, and has
our children by his first wife, who are now
wing with relatives in the country. He
Is no children by his second wife.
As before stated, all manner of stories
