evening, on the track near the depot,
between a sorrel and a gray horse, both
being well-knOwn among our sporting
men. Odds of two to one would have
been offered on the gray, only the bet
ting men did not know what the COM
bination was. There were few small
bets made, and when old sorrel won the
race there was disguised crowd. The

ones for once.

miles west of Medicine Lodge, near the

barn was intact at that hour. He die
not discover the fire that night and moi
until, long after daylight when all the
damage was then done. He has no idea
how the fire originated but as there
was no fire about the premises when he
went to bed he thinks an incendiary
must have done the mischief. DR.. Bono
