our popular attorney, has been in
fluenced to aspire to the county attor-

Republican county convention to en-

The three year old race was walk
away for Pearl of the West, who won
three straight heats with ease. j. w. B..
took second money and Iolantha third.
Time, 3:O6, 3:07, S:0s.
The free-for-all pace created no little
interest, from the fact that Kittson's
"Gem" entered, and had for her driv-
er the renowned John Splan. Pools
sold freely on Gem as first choice
with Fritz second, and neither of the
favorites took heat. Mike Wilks was
an old turfer that the boys did not
count on as coming to the front, but he
did SO handsomely in three straight
heats. Fritz, who was considered the
second best horse in the field was dis
tanced in the second heat. The race
resulted:

ACCORDING 10 the rules OF the National
Trotting Association, all horses trotting
five heats and failing to secure single
point are sent to the barn, hence the
sixth heat and the first money lay be-
tween Minnesota and Volunteer, Jr.
1t was well earned by Minnesota, ow-
ing to bad break made by Volunteer
in the last half mile.
Time: 2:4Ot, 2:4O4, 2:3ss, 2:4O, 2:43s,
2:46.
We believe there never was I1fet-
tier race trotted upon course than
that between Herod and Lulu Judd.
Six heats were trotted, and there was
not two feet difference between these
horses in getting their noses under the
wire in any one of them. Excitement
ran high when each of these horses had
two heats. The second head was de.
clared q tie between them. As the
horses were called out for the final
heat, one sold as much favorite
in the pool as the other. Lulu Judd
had the pole and held it in fine shape
until the home stretch was reached,
when it was observed that Herod
had the staying qualities on the last
quarter that meant victory, and as the
two beauties came down the home
stretch neck and neck, with Lulu's nose
reaching hard for the wire, enthusiasm
for Herod knew no bounds when he
pushed himself half length ahead.
This was, as we before remarked, the
most interesting race ever before wit
messed upon any track, and one that
will long be remembered by those who
witnessed it. Gen. Hancock won third
money and Bay Brine fourth.
Time, 2:29t, 2:29i, 2:SOl, 2:3l, 1921,
2:3O!.
1t was now Z o'clock p. Ma and only
one heat in the four-ycar-old race was
trotted. This was won by Isis i'm 2:55
with Edel Weis, DIR. Curryer's colt sec,
Ond, Brick third. The other heats
were trotted this morning and resulted
same as the first.
Thus ended the inaugural meeting OF
the Southern Minnesota Fair and Live
stock Association. And the only feat
ure to be regretted is the slim atten.
dance. The field of horses was the
best ever gathered in the state.

A ROBBERY of unusual interest was
committed in st. Paul last Saturday.
A messenger boy in the Peoples Bank,
aged II, ran away with $6,O2l of the
funds of that institution. How he got
it nobody knows, for none but the
cashier knew the combination of the
safe. The cashier balanced his books
and locked the safe as usual, and he
cannot see how the boy got it. There
is no proof of the boys having accom-
plices or any assistance.

carded the arduous effort of putting
forth letters and did the work up ver-

of national topics. The speeches were
more fitting for the acceptance OF o

of the nomination for chief executives
