ALL THE WAY TO sAco
A Horseman Comes to Look Up
AubIne's Record.

BIDDEFoRD, September A. 4.-Monday Frank
Foss of Saco received letter from Geo. II.
Bailey, the we'll known horseman, asking
him to telegraph at once the time made by
Aubne at the breeders meeting in Saco last
October. Tuesday. Mr.. Foss received two
more urgent requests by letter, one from C..
II. Nelson and the other from Ira Woodbury.,
both stating that the prompt forwarding Of
the record might save them thousands of dol
lars. This morning Mr.. Fox received a call
from M. G. Thompson, prominent horse
man of Utica, N. Y, and the owner Of
Sprague's Gold Dust, who had come all the
way to Saco to look up Aubine's record.
From Mr. Thompson Mr.. FOss learned that
1t was as he had suspected. 1t had been re-
ported in Western papers that Aubine had
been given heat in 2.26 at the Saco track,
and she therefore had no right to start in the
2.28 class at Hartford and at other races In
which she had won money. She started and
after the races were over the other horse
owners entered protest against the mare.
and Nelson's assurance that the record was
'27l did not satisfy them tn 1t she had been
eligible to start in the races in question. The
stakes were withheld, and the offence. could
1t have been proven, would have been a
serious one for the mare, her driver and
owner.
Mr.. Foss soon satisfied his visitor that Au-
blne's record was what Mr.. Nelson repre-.
sented 1t to be.

given entire control of the company's West
ern business. He had the handling OF large
sums of money, and his accounts passed with
very little examination. From Vienna, Aus
tria came word that Jacobson's father held
the title of Count, and that he was one Of the
wealthiest of Austrian bankers. jacobson
was arrested just as he was stepping on a
train for New York. When locked up he
admitted much that was charged against him.
but when he heard that his father knew OF
the matter, he became frantic. II have been
bad man." he said, 'but my father has
never known Of it. Now. that he does, l
shall never 20 to trial. Before that day comes
/ shall be a dead man" The amount of the
embezzlement is not known.
