NOT BABCOCK'S WIFE.
Mrs. Naomi Fairchild's Case Grea
Damaged by New Testimony.

Mrs. Naomi Fairchild's Case Greatly
Damaged by New Testimony.
There was a strange disclosure on the
18th in the case of old Mrs. Naomi Fair
child, who claims to be the widow oil the
supposed bachelor lumberman, Col
Walter S. Babcock, of Chicago, mysteri-
ously murdered recently in the house of
his fiance, at Gardner, Ill. Mrs. Fair
child has been trying through the Pro-
bate court to secure share OF Bah
cocks estate, though previous to his
death none of his relatives and friends
had even heard OF her. She has almost
conclusively shown that Babcock actu.
ally did secretly sustain marital rela-
tons with her, and has attempted to
prove that when she was in an appar-
emily dying condition, Babcock called
in the Rev. w. IL. Burns, who per-
formed marriage ceremony shortly
before midnight. The motive limited
at was that Babcock had borrowed con-
siderable money from the woman,
and thought to extinguish the debt
by marriage, believing her speedy
death certain. The testimony of
the clergyman left no doubt that a we'd
ding under the circumstances described
had taken place. On the above date
Mrs. Julia Brattan, sister of Ms.
Fairchild, was on the stand and the fact
cropped out that the minister at Mrs.
Brattan's marriage was the same Rev.
Mr.. Burns. Cross-questioning devel-
oped that in every detail of time, place
and manner, the Brattan wedding was
Identical with the alleged marriage of
Mrs. Fairchild to Col. Babcock. The
trial was at once adjourned, the general
opinion being that the queer claim
OF the ostensible widow had fallen to
the ground.

AXT ELL.
From American Cultivator. !


The phenomenal Axtell was started at
Twin CITY Driving Park on the llth inst,
to beat his record (2:l54), made at the
Minneapolis Park, the week previous.
The weather was favorable, but the track
was trifle slow. According to the Off
cial record, he trotted the first quarter in
thirty-three seconds, the next in 333. the
third in 33i, and the fourth in 35t sec
onds, just reaching the mark he was sent
to pass. Report says that two of the
watches in the judges stand stopped at
? ;l54, and a score of outsiders made it
the same. 1t seems as though so fast a
mile within so short time after his I'M
equalled performance was hardly Judi
cious. Mr.. Williams ought to know best
about that, however. 1t is stated that
after the heat Mr.. Mitchell of Cleveland,
Ohio, offered $4,000 for Axtell.
Here is case where a man who pre-
ferred merit to standard breeding hit the
bulls eye the first shot. Mr.. Williams
bought the dam of Axtell for song, her
former owners valuing her lightly be-
cause she was not bred in accordance
with the standard formula. She was a
resolute mare, with lots of nerve force,
but could not trot fast. She was by
Mambrino Boy, record , :26t. Her dams
breeding, as we are informed by both
Mr.. Stout and Mr.. Williams, is unknown.
Mr.. Dunton in his Spirit of the Turf,
gives her as a descendant of Comet, also
known as Billy Root. Mambrino Boy
was Ly Mambrino Patchen. His dam
was by Strader's Cassius NJ. Clay, Jr.
The latter though direct descendant of
old Henry Clay, was strongly inbred to
imported Messenger. His dam was by
Old Abdallah, second dam by son of
American Eclipse, and third dam by Mes
senger himself. American Eclipse was
by Duroc, son of imported Diomed, out
of Miller's Damsel, Il daughter of Mes
senger, and the best race mare that he
ever got.
Mambrino Boys second dam was by
the inbred Diomed thoroughbred Ber-
thune, by Sidi Hamet, by Virginian, son
of Sir Archy. Berthune's dam was Su-
settle, by Aratus, by Director, by Sir
