DAKOTA,
Murdered His Partner.

Special to the Globe.
BLUNT. Oak, March 29.-James II. Bell
of Harold, Hughes county, was arrested be-
fore daylight this morning. for the murder OF
Forest G. Small, who has been missing since
Dec "a last Both were lawyers and land
agents and from being fast friends became
bitter enemies. Last fall Small was a can
didate for district attorney and was defeated,
partly by Bell and his friends. He worked
up several land fraud cases against Bell on
which he was arrested and on one of which be
has been in Jail since Smal's disappearance.
Small also sued Bell for defending him in a
criminal case, and the suit was to have been
tried here the day he disappeared. Small
started on horseback for Blunt on that day
and has not been seen since.
Bell, on Dec. s5, reported to the Justice
who was to have heard the case, that he had
settled It and paid half the cost. After some
weeks Smalls father, a clergyman of Sully
county, went to Harold to visit bis sou,
aud first heard of bis disappearance. He
began investigating, retained counsel, and
the result is the arrest of Bell and Ferdi-
nand Bennett, formerly of Chicago, for
the murder. Bennett was found in the
northeastern part of the territory, and when
arrested broke down and confessed. He told
where Smalrs body would be found in Medi-
clue Neck, where he was killed aud also his
horse. Bell braved it out until he learned
that Bennett had confessed, when he became
silent. A couple of farmers are said to have
seen the tragedy enacted, but were at toe
great distance to be certain of identity
This evidence will corrOhorate BENEFITS
confession. Bell is from New York, and in
December, 1888, was held to the district
court for an attempt to murder Frank Hud-
lock OF Minneapolis.

The $1,000 Purse.

Chicago Horseman.
The Charter Oak Park association again
invites nominations for its great $4,000
purse The short history of this great purse
is a most memorable one and it rightly ranks
as the great trotting event of the year. In
1883 the full total Of the purse was SO, 500,
and the two famous sons of Dictator took
the first and fifth moneys. The first heat was
won by the speedy Wilson, by George Wilkes,
in 2:1715. The pride of the Almonts, Fanny
Witherspoon, was second, and in the next
heat she forged to the front, winning in
2:17, the fastest time made in the race. Di-
rector then reeled off the next three heats
and the race. Clemmie G was second in
the second and fourth heats and Phallas sec
ond in the third. Eight started and it took
five heats to settle the great dispute, every
one Of which was trotted in'2:20 or better.
Last year the field consisted Of Harry
Wilkes, King Almont, Maud Messenger
Captain Emmons, Phil Thompson, Adelaide
and Felix. King Almont won the first heat
the famous little gelding, Harry Wilkes, TAX
ing the next three and the race in 2:17
2191I, 2:212I. Who will be the victor this
year! The conditions this year are as fol-
lows: A purse Of SO, 900 for the 2:30 class,
to be trotted at the Charter Oak park during
the circuit meeting. Subscriptions To close
on May 10; $3.50 to accompany subscription ;
each subscriber in addition to give his resi-
dence and postofIice address; $3.50 is payable
on June 10; $3.50 on August IL, at which
date the horses must be named, and $3.50
PAYABLE on the night before the race.
The blue ribbon Of the trotting track will
command in the future. az it has always done
in the past, all the elite of the horses in its
class, and We shall expect the race, as usual,
to be won By one of the sensational per-
formers OF the year.

4 u,.rderer,s Confession.

The man Blanchard, arrested at Benson
Saturday for the murder of Johnson, near
the mouth of the Pomme de Terre river last
January, in his confession says that just
previous to the murder Johnson, who was
his partner, went to Appleton and sold some
mink and rat skins, but refused to divide
the proceeds. For this Blanchard killed
Johnson, striking him with an ak while
asleep and hiding his body under the ice in
the river, where it was found Thursday.
Blanchard only got $3.50 from the dead man.
When Johnson's body was found suspicion
was directed to his former partner, and he
was arrested near Atwater.

3fary Cobb

The great trotters are preparing to take the
field, either in battle array, "beard to beard"
or in the less glorious role of exhibitors
against time. Last season Mr. Cohnfeld
was eminently successful in capturing both
the stallion record with Maxy Cobb, 2:13I,
and the double-team record, 2:15M, with
Cobb and Meta Medium. He has declined
tempting offers to place the champion stallion
in the stud this season, as he cherishes con-
fident anticipations that Maxy can beat even
Maud SIS record of 2:094. There is plenty
OF room for the display of speed by the horse
and talent in his driver to bridge the gap of
four seconds that lies between them. Rarus,
2:134; St. Julien, 2:11Z, and Jay Eye See,
2:1O, failed to duplicate these records; but it
may be, as Mr.. Cohnfeld stoutly maintains,
that Maxy is horse above ordinances, and
can trot in 2:0S. The horse has been logged
regularly all winter long, and is looking I'M
usually stout and muscular. Jay Eve See,
Phalias. and others of the Case stable will
muster at Belmont park in the course of
month. Maud S. will also be found there n
April, so that rare times are in store for
those who get up in the morning early and
drive out to Belmont.

LUCAS AND HIS CLUB.
Mr.. Lucas is still in trouble because the
league will not let the disqualified players
play in his team. To reporter of the Globe
Democrat he expressed himself as follows:
II am in the National league and propose
to do the best l can in that organization. /
have been urged repeatedly to go into the
Western league and endeavor to get the clubs
of the association to divide up the players dis
qualified by the National league and the
American association, so that each club in
the entire league will be greatly strengthened
and be a drawing card at home and else
where. 1t would not be proper for me to
engage in any such movement while am
in the National league, and you NAV be as
sured that if find that cannot get along in
it, / will drop out before arranging to Join
any other league. Efforts are being made to
get up Western league team here and in
clude in it my old players. Many of my
friends and some of my associates are inter
ested in the project, and are very enthusiasts
tic over 1t. If were disposed to sell out to
them / could do so tomorrow. | am. how
ever, in hopes that the action of the National
league respecting the disqualified players is
not irrevocable, aud that something will be
done to help me out. II not, 1 will have TO

This well-known PAGER has been added to
the string of horses that Mr.. Kittson will have
on the circuit this season, and is now being
driven daily on the road at Midway, the same
as the other horses that will make the circuit.
OF course, it cannot be foretold what effect
training will have on him. If 1t should de-
vefop the old lameness later on he will be
dropped out and left at home. At present
he shows no signs of lameness whatever, nor
does he seek in the least to favor the leg in
which lameness made its appearance. When
driven on the road he strikes out with the
right fore-leg precisely as though it had never
developed any weakness. 1t is possible,
however, that when he is called upon for
faster work that the leg may be found I'LL
able to stand what will then be required OF
it, and will give out. There are no signs of
such a result and it is to be hoped that none
will appear.

SULLIVAN AND MCAFFREY.
The pecuniary demands of certain parties,
who are supposed to represent city officials,
having been complied with, arrangements
were on March 10 perfected for a four-round
glove-contest between John l.. Sullivan and
Dominiek McCaffrey, to take place in Phila-
delphia on April 2. Sullivan, who is many
pounds overweight, is quartered at Renz's
park, under the care of Patsy Sheppard, who
has Prof. NlXey as his assistant. McCaffrey's
headquarters are at William Mays Punch
bowl, Broad and Diamond streets, and he
has All. Lunt as mentor. From all accounts
both men have been training assiduously
since the day the agreement was ratified
Sullivan needs all the work that can be given
him in the brief period allowed, and even
then he can't be got into good condition,
although If he attends strictly to business he
may show in quite as good fix as he deems
necessary to do the job for which be is pre-
pairing, even should the authorities permit
each man to ''slug" all he knows how, in
which case, of course, both will require
plenty Of wind and strength.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Arrangements are being made for a meet
ing between an unknown of Milwaukee or
Chicago and Hadley, who was recently
knocked out by Wilson at Market hall. Tom
jefferson, who now has in hand both Wilson
and Hadley, says the meeting will probably
come off soon in this city.
a brutal rough-and-tumble fight is re-
ported to have taken place in Milwaukee last
Wednesday night, between two young men
named Slilberth and Vokenson, III which the
latter was worsted. There was 40 attempt at
scientific work and the better part Of the
sporting fraternity left the scene in disg gust.
1t seems that Billy Wilson, the heavy weight
champio Of Minnesota, is anxious for a
meeting with Burke. The following com
muuication has been sent to The Sentinel
from a reliable source: sBilly Wilson,
heavy weight champion Of Minnesota, is
anxious to box Jack Burke or Patsy Cardiff
for $3.50 aside, within two weeks OF the date
of signing articles. The contes. to be eight

The Mid,cay Sale.

There are some reasons for surprise at the
interest taken by breeders and purchasers OF
trotting stock in the forthcoming sale at
Midway, which takes place Wednesday. June
10. One reason for this surprise is the fact
that Minnesota is young breeding state,
has, of course, had little experience in breed
ing, and besides it is thought that our eli
mate is too cold for the business. Still, in
spite of all these considerations, horsemen
from far and near are, or have been, in cor
respondence with Messrs. Kittson, De Graft,
Sherwood and McGrath in regard to the stock
and the sale. 1t is evident from the letters
received that some of the leading horsemen
of the country will be here on that occasion.
The stock is in excellent condition and lot
of much more valuable youngsters will be
ffered than was presented last spring.
