THE THREE-QUARTER MILE DASH
The three-qlarter mile dash was q

Clifton Bell. Chantilla, Gilt, Allies
and Brown Dick were entries. Chan.

for from SEQ to $3.50, Clifton Bel
second, the field bringing $25. They
sold thus until no more pools could
be sold, when Gilt jumped to fist
place and Was bought for the same
price which Chantilla and Clifton
Bell had been iringing. On the out
side bets We're made from 500 to $50.
$50 to $40 and $25 to $40 that Gilt
would beat Clifton Fell. At least
$4,000 were wagered this way, and
bets were made until the Montana
men had exhausted the pockets OF
the Co.oradoans.
The horses We're in splendid form
with the exctp tion Of Gilt, who
seemed to be y ntJle lame in the left
hind foot. ChantilIa never looked
better, and it seemed as though the
Montana men had thrown their
money away to bet on Gilt. But
they knew what they were abe ut. A
good start was had, Gilt getting first
place. Alice ran even with him TO
the half mile pot when Gilt drew
away from her. Chantilla then went
forward and held Gilt down to the
the last quarter, when he dropped
behind and Alice again came up to
second place. The horses were
strung out coming down the home
stretch, and yells of exultatjon went
up as Gilt came under the wire a
length ahead Of Alice, Chantilla
third, Clifton Bell fourth, Brown
Dick fifth. Time, 1:l6.
This race was a surprise to every
body but the Montana men, who
knew on what kind OF a horse they
were betting, and whatever may
have been their losses heretofore,
they certainly We're recompensed
yesterday. The time made was the
fastest ever made Oh u Colorado track,

him to any undue annoyance.
Capt. Mills returned from Dillon
last FRIDAY night where lie had been

concurs in the same opinion.

The Livingston Enterprise of the

"Sonle days ago the Helena pa

that /. ID. M6Cutcheon, Secretary of

ing are additional particulars Of The
burning of the Danish steamer Heinz
dahl: The passengers were trans
ferred to Castle Garden bargeS and :,

remained aboard the steamer. She
was towed to Hedloe's island and run
ashore. Nearly all the baggage OF
the passengers was taken Off. The
lire originated in the lower main hold
on Sunday afternoon. and was pretty
much confined there. The cargo was
shipped at Stettin, Copenhagen ard

No definite estimate is yet made OF
the damage either to the steamer or

70 gain convictions he would require
to use the law 70 it's utmost limit, and
to make the prosecutions effective the
most prominent offenders should be
singled out. Every Latter Day-Saint
would oppose such enterprise. Con-
tumacious witnesses must be COM
mitted for contempt, and I am not
sure, said the lecturer, but it would
be necessary to send John Taylor, the
head Of the Utah Church, and some
of his holy apostles to prison for re-
fusing to produce, when called upon
by the court, the Endowment House
register OF marriages. The howl that
would be raised through the land at
these Nero-like prosecutions, no out
siders can conceive. A tempest of pas
sion and denunciation would rage IN
Zion, and every Mormon meeting
house, the great Salt Lake tabernacle
included, would resound with fran
tic appeals to the God of Israel to
drive these sacrile gious intruderS from
before His presence.
This would be damaging to all
kinds of business. Outside capital
would be withheld from investment
in mining properties. tourists would
give a wide berth to Zion for fear of
having their Threats cut, and timid
souls who have ventured among the
Saints would flee from their habita-
tons as from the wrath to come. And
the Gentiles would be prompt to pro-
test againse such suicidal folly.
But slight encouragement is afford
