THE WORLD At HIS FEET.
Axtell Beats All Records for Three
Year-0lds at Terre Haute
Yesterday.
Then a Syndicate Pays More for
Him Than Any Horse Was
Ever Sold For
The Great Trotting Race nj Fleetwood
Park Captured Easily by
Belle Hamlin,

TERRE HAUrE, Ind. Oct. ll.-A mile III
two minutes and twelve seconds is great
feat for nm aged horse at any gait. When il
is done by a 3-year-old stallion at trotting
gait il means record that will stand for
many day. II means the acme of physical
endurance. courage and all that goes TO
make king OF horses. The fourth day of
the fall meeting brought out a crowd as
large and enthusiastic Ms ever a perfect In
dian summer sun shone upon to witness an
event that anyone is fortunate 10 see in
a lifetime. The great Axtell was sent TO
beat the 3-year-old record(2:l3s4l held by
the California filly Sunol. When brought
out for a warming up heat, he moved with
| such Freedom and determination that few
| thought the record would stand, but that he
would knock one and three quarter seconds
| from il the widest enthusiast did not
dream. Geo. Starr was behind Father john
AZ the helper, while Williams speeded the
favorite.
At the second attempt the great flight was
befun. With that smooth action for which
Axtell is noted. the first quarter WIS reached
in S3, the clip is made faster to the half in
| 105l6, too fast" says Col. Conley and n
sigh goes up from the crowd as il is felt
that the drive is made too soon. Still the
colt goes on his course. faster snd faster.
| Thirty-two and quarter is the gait to the
| three-quarters post. With never fater he
breasts the hill and turns into the stretch
and a shout goes up, He will do it," On
he goes and without wabble or false
stroke he finished the mile strong in 2;12.
Thus at one stroke he reduced the three
year-old record one and three-quarter
seconds, also the record for stations at all
| ages.
Pandemonium broke loose and the stretch
was black with shouting, yelling mob.
Williams was taken from the sulky and
borne aloft on mems shoulders, and cheer
| driver.
The official timers were J. II. Steiner,
secretary of the American trotting associa-
tion; A. 4. Rush, of Detroit, and Col.
Conley, of Chicago. Their watches agreed
exactly ON all fractions of the mile. The
watches of Judges Beauchamp and Moran
told the same tale The track is seven feet
over mile'by official surveys.
Col Conley, of Chicago, late tonight
completed the purchase of the great trotter,
Axtell, for $l05,UOO. II is supposed he re-
presents a syndicate. Andy Walsh, of
Hartford, and John Madden. IL Lexington,
offered Williams xl01 900 for tine colt and
had a certified check for a forfeit to offer
him. This he refused and alterward nc
cepted Conley's offer with much reluctance
II il understood the great colt will 90 into
Budd Doble's stable III the morning. The
purchase money il supposed Ia have been
made up by Brush a Morgan. of Detroit,
Col Conley. or Budd Doble, and W. =.

Cronin, The greatest mystery prevails
around the criminal court binding where
the men are confined The first informa-
tion of important proceedings were given by
the states attorney in Judge MoConnell's
court room at 2o'clock this afternoon. when
Judge Longenecker asked that court TO ad-
important business regarding some new
developments in the case. and would he
busy. Judge Mcconnell granted the re-
quest. Chief of Police Hubbard. Captain
Schultier. Judge Longenecker and Attorneys
Mills and Ingraham at once went to
the states attorneys Office. where they held
long consultation behind closed doors.
Three prisoners were shortly after taken
into the states attorneys office, and th,
other men were brought in during the
afternoon and evening. The utmost secrecy
was preserved 10y everyone in authority. Az
ll;3O tonight the seven men were in the
hthith ht'olntN ointt, presumably uHutT-
going examination. Al that hour Attorney
Mills came out, and Ia the score of waiting
reporters reiterated the statement made by
the states attorney early in the evening.
that absolutely no information would be
given out until tomorrow.
Al midnight Chief Hubbard emerged from
his private Office and went out, but soon re-
turned with man hearing n good supply of
eatnbles. This would indicate the secret
session 10 he nm all night one. Soon after
an assistant stntes-attorney came in with n
young woman who was hurried into the
presence of the officers. Some thought she
was Mrs. Palm whalens, q sister Of cx-De-
tective Caughlin. little later the detec-
iives came in with short thick-set man,
apparently Irish. This makes nine arrests
to-day and tonight.
Two stories are alloat tonight in regard
to the matter. One is that some new and
exceedingly important information in regard
to the murder hns been discovered; the 9th
er that nothing less than jury fixing plot
has come 10 light. The state, il is known,

proached could not be definitely learned
