members OF q regular organ .zed gang that
for some time past have been operating
| between Antlers, Choctaw Nation, and
S. cred Heart Mission, Seminole Nation
Ellis, with posse Of men, caught Rem
froe and another ore CT the gang, Tom
Smith by name, at Carriage Point, Choc-
law NStioc, and arrested them after 8
running fight Of some distance.
during which about 200 shots
were fred, Smith being
slightly wounded. The authorities OF
Graz son county, Texas, wanted Smith so
bad that Ellis surrendered him 20 them,
but held Relfroe. Another of the gang,
Lewis Green, alias Morgan, who hsd
stolen three horses near Lehigh, 1. T.,

Lucky BaIdu,n,s Trainer.
New York Times.


One of the most prominent figures CT
the turf this year will unquestionably be
Ralph Waldo Thomas. He is g compare
lively young MAD, s self-contained and
self-cOpfdent fellow, who probably knows
more about race horses than any man in
this country. His knowledge is not tina,
which comes from close study of the
stud books, and there are doubtless hun
dreds Of others who are more familiar
with the intricacies Of blood and breed
ing thsn he. What he knows SO excep-
liOnallY well is how TO put the
la2ers intrusted to him into just
the condition that will fl
them to win races. It is that knowledge
that induced Lucky" Baldwin to pay
him the largest salary ever paid to tine
trainer Of stable of thoroughbreds in
This country. The Cslifernia millionaire
has gwen young Thomas the right to do
about as he pleases with the racers in the
Santa Anita stable. That shows Mr.,
Bildwih's excellent Judgment, for Thomas
Gems to know just when and where to
start his horses, and he has, besides, that
best of sill gifts for the manager CT a
stable, the ability to place his horses In
just the company that will permit
>hem to win. How well he sue
cegded last yesr with only a moderately
good stsble-thst of Dan Honig-eveIy
one knows. Whether he can succeed
agsin this year remains TO be seen. He
starts east this week with the pick Of the
Baldwin lot, some twenty or SO, and will
irrt show the public what sort Of mate
rial he hiss a. the Nashville meeting, which
begins April % All the horses in his
string are heavily engaged in stakes and
handicapa, and with Isaac Murphy to ride
them he should be able to capture very
handsome sum ofmoney for his employer
and give the eastern owners 9 close rub
for the best Of the honors to be won.
