A KittsOn Claimant,

ST. PAUL, Feb. 23.-For some months
it has been known that Judge Brisbin
was acting as the attorney for woman
who claimed to be entitled to one third of
the estate of the late Commodore Kittson,
by reason of having been his first wife,
The judge, however, refused to give the
particulars until today, when he let it
leak out that the woman in the case was
Mrs. Adelaide Crezier Of St. Cloud; now
60 years Of age. The suit will be filed in
few days and the complaint will allege
that in an early day she eand Commodore
Kittson entered into an agreement of mar
riage in the presence of witnesses-there
being no priests or magistrates in the sec
tion where they then resided. She claims
that they lived together as husband and
wife for 10 years, and that children were
born as a fruit Of the marriage-one of
whom was DIR. Kittson, since dead, and
the other Norman Kittson, Jr. She al
leges that at the expiration of 10 years
Comm odore Kittson left her, without any
legal separation. She therefore claims
her dover rights

More About Stanley.

BRUSSELS, Feb. ss,--Lieut. Barnett,
who was at Stanley Falls when stanley's
letter to Tippoo Tib was delivered, has
arrived here. He states the messengers
were closely questioned and confirmed
the details of the letter. Lieut.. Barnett
believes Stanley only reached Wadelai
by strenuous efforts, and that Emin Pasha
relieved Stanley, instead Of being relieved
and revictualled by him. Stanley was
enabled to return to Murinia in 50 days,
whereas the journey from Yambuge to
Wadelai occupied 10 months. Barnett
adds that fresh letters may be expected
from Stanley shortly,

SOME HORSE TALK.
HOW BELL BOY WAS SOLD FOR
$4,000.
An Immense Land Sale in Mexico-COl-
lapse of the London Times Assaults
on Parnel1-A Great Cattle
Combination.

LEXINGTON, Ky, Feb. 22.-Bell Boy
beat the American record yesterday by
bringing $51 900. When led into the ring
5000 spectators gave swelling cheer,and
after Auctioneer Edmondson had fora few
minutes expiated on his merits, j. H.
Ryder of Franklin, Pa, setthe ball rolling
by bid of 100000, but the echo had not
died away before W. 7. Woodard offered
$4,000. Ryder followed by raising his
bid when Col. Edmondson called for $4O,-
900, and here lull ensued. But only for
moment, Thompson, representing the
Hermitage stud of Nashville, Tenn, bid
ding $45,000. Mr.. Ryder here retired, but
j. Fl. Clark of the Genesee Valley stud of
New York at once took his place and bid
$4,000. Thompson responded with $47-
900. Clark said $4S,O00. Thompson $780,,
900. and Clark again raised him 81 900.
Thompson then stepped out Of the ring
and in spite Of Col. Edmondson's earnest
pleading he refused to return, and amidst
great excitement the grand young horse
was knocked down for $4,000.
This was the highest price ever paid for
horse at either public Or private sale in
this country. In England, both Blair
Athol and Doncaiter brought high
er figures, but in this country, with
the exception of Bell Boy no horse ever
approached this figure in Kentucky.
Maude S. and King Thomas, sold private
y, being the closest to him, they each sell
ling for $4,000, Bell Boy was sold joint
ly to Mr.. Clark and Il. H. Hopper of
Unionville, Ohio,and his destination is the
stud at the Genesse Valley Farm, Elmira,
N. Y. In many respects Bell Boy is one
of the most wonderful colts ever foaled,
his breeding being of the best, his con
formation and his record phenominal.
His stud book for this and next season is
full at the large fee of $500. Outside of
Bell Boy the sale still had many sepsa-
tional features, high prices ruling
hroughout,and the average was the great
est of any days similar sale ever held in
the world. After purchasing Blue Grass
Hambletonlan for $3.50, Madden this
afternoon sold him for $4,000 to e. ?, |
Neil Of Bowling Green, KY, that gentle
man being unable to reach the grounds |
before the horse was sold, it being his in |
tention to pay that amount or more for
him. A summary of the sale shows sixty
one head were sold and bought $142,63O,
an average of $2,372 G. and G. p. Cecil |
of Danville, Ky, paid $1,000 for Lille
Wilkes.

CATTLE-RAIsERs COMBINE,

and Commissions.

Organized to do Away With Middlemen
and Commissions.
KANSAS Cry, Feb. .25.-Representatives
of the stock-raising industry from nearly
every state and territory west of the
Mississippi river and from Illinois and
Kentucky, practically completed work of
vital importance to the cattlemen today.
For long time the cattlemen thought
they were losing through combine by
the commission men and large packing
houses, which resulted in the sale of their
cattle at ridiculously low prices. A
scheme for forming an immense commits
sion company, composed of stock-raisers
themselves, had been broached, and q
month or SO ago meeting was held tor
the purpose Of taking the opening steps
preparatory to such action. Saturday
the work was practically finished and the
meeting adjourned until March 4th, when
the election Of officers of the new com
mission company will take place. 1twas
decided to incorporate the company as the
American Live Stock Commission Co.,
with a capital stock of $15O,OOO and head
quarters at Kansas City and Chicago. The
incorporators will be Samuel Lazarus of
Texas, A, Greavry of Illinois, and Nicho-
las I. Eaton and Thos. B. Buoy of Kansas
City. The articles of incorporation will
be filed at Springfield, ILL.,, March 2.
The idea Of the promoters of this move
ment is to enable them to sell their stock
at the highest prices and with the least
expense possible, and with that end in
view headquarters will be established in
Kansas City and Chicago, with branches
at Wichita, Kansas; Forth Worth, Texas,
and possibly Omaha, where stock will be
received and sold on the commission plan.
The new company will not confine its
business to its members, but will receive
stock from other than members and it
will be general stock commission bust
ness on large scale.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
movement may be had from the fact that
the members of the organization now
have 100000 head of stock ready to bring
to market. It is thought that as the
movement becomes generally understood,
nearly every cattle-raiser in the west will
join the company and make it gigantic
combination, which will enable the stock
raiser practically to do his own selling.
