List The judges, Messrs. C. 4. Baily and
A. NJ Hamilton, called out the nagS and
they got away, after some little scoring.
The heats were miles, best two in three, and
the first was corralled by the gelding in
good style. The second heat was captured By
Nellie, in time grazing two minutes. In
the third heat, the horses came down the
stretch with the gelding Just ahead, but as
they passed under the wire, both broke, so
the heat was dead 1t was too late to trot
another heat and the race was declared a
draw.
The party then adjourned to the resi-
dence Of Mr. Sam Laughlin and there spent
the remainder of the evening. Everything
passed off in the finest style. Supper was
served the menu comprising every known
delicacy, and the affair, in every feature,
was pronounced success. The ladies and

SINGULAR PROCEEDING.
For a Man Who Was Only Playing
a Joke.
Ne Runs of With the Watch and Chain
of Sleeping Friend and Escapes
On the Above Plea.

Yesterday afternoon country rraai
named Grimble, who resides near Short
creek, while sleeping of the effects on an
overdose Of liquor in front Of the Huseman
House, was relieved of his watch and chain
by a man. Mr.. Ike Wolf wso was at
work near the sleeping man, saw the theft
committed, and started to stop thsman who
hastily made tracks, but was finally cap
tured by Wolf on Main street. He-was i'm
mediately taken before Squire PeteTman
and committed to Jail The supposetsthiet s
name is John EEll, and he works on farm
on Short creek Grimble was summoned be-
fore Squire Peterman and Identified his
property, but claaned that Hill wasa friend
and refused to prosecute, as be did not beiieve
Hill intended stealing the watch and chain.
The Squire then released Hill from Gus
tedy. Just after bis release REGISTER
reporter interviewed him. In reply to- the
question Of the scribswhat his friends name
was he replied:
81 do not know the mans name"
WAS he friend Of yoursY
well, cur first acquaintance was at
Short Cresk. He aEd took several drinks
together there and thsn came on to Wheel
ing together We have taken on large
quantity of liqnor since we arrived and be-
came separated. While strolling up the
river front | saw this man sitting in the
chair asleep. | walked up and nok
his watch and chain of to keep
the thieves from getting it. |
did not intend stealing It. We were to 60
Short Creek this evening and it was my in
tention to return the watch and chain atthat
time. 1t is customary among country boys
to take the money and jewelry OF any Of
their crowd who. is too drunk to take caeof
himselS"
One thing is certain, had Hill intended
doing the square thing, he would not have
run away when Mr.. Wolf came toward
him. His own action condemned him and
so thsught Me-. Welt who ran him dowA
and arrested kim.

Some Valuable Statistics and Interesting

A gentleman who has been interesting
himself in city finances to a considerable
extent, said to a REGISTER reporter last
night:
81 have taken the trouble to look over
the city's accounts and gather some facts
that may be of interest. The charge has
been made that the depth to which the city
is plunged in debt is due to the expenses Of
the Board of Public Works, and / want to
show you it was a mistake. If You will ex-
anime these figures you will see that the
city has been spending more than her in
come, without taking any consideration of
the contingent fund Of the Board of Public
Works. This table shows the receipts and
expenditures of 1888, which will make a
very fair average

: A singular accident happened a street

Of the occupants from serious injury was
not less than a miracle. The car was com

chain broke and left the driver helpless.
The car shot down the grade until it came
to the curve when over it went, making one
complete revolution and part of a second.
Two gentlemen, lady and child, were in
it at the time and one by one they crawlei
from the wreck, all somewhat shaken up,
but none seriously hurt
