rrNEL mention was made of the arrest OF
two foot racers that were to run over q
course on Monday morning at Z o'clock on
Lower Main street for q purse Of 81, 1000
$500 of which smornt WAS put up by Alec
Aguayo on George Ham and $500 by a
prominent resident OF White Pine county
on Henry Maurice. At the appointed
hour for the race the White Piner failed TO
appear with his man, and, according TO
sporting rules, the purse OF 81 900 was
handed over to Aguayo. An action was
commenced against the two foot racers for
unlawfnlly conspiring to cheat the White
Piner of his $500, and a preliminary hear
ing OF the case was to take place before
Justice Harmon yesterday morning. II
appears that after the suit was instituted
and certain features OF the trouble
learned, the prosecution decided to die
miss the case. which was done. Yester.
day a civil action was commenced in the
District Court by the White Piner against
Alec AguAyo. demanding q judgment for
the $500.
