They We're Professionals.
Miner: A large crowd went to the
race track yesterday afternoon to witness
foot race between two professional
runners who gave their names as Miller
and Mcdonald. Miller claimed to be
from Boulder and Mcdonald from Wood
VILE The distance run was lou yards,
and Mcdonald won in 101a seconds.
Much money was up on the race, about
5000, and it is safe to say that someone
got left, and that badly, for about the
worst 'fakirs' travelling over the coun-
try are professional foot racers, and 1T Is
about as hard for one of them to run
square" race as it is for three-card
monte man to enter heaven. The loser
was none other than Harry Bethune.

The coming conference of American
nations has awakened considerable in

Americans have found the constitu-
tional' history Of these republics very
confusing, and are apt tR,set it down as
nothing but chaos of revolutions. An
American resident OF Colombia, in the

significant. In addition the Overland
