Foot.racer Long, pugilist Cushing and
manager Mcdonald left Pioche, enroute
to Ely, New, last Saturday. The boys
offered us some fun, and much to talk
about if it did cost considerable.
Patsy Harrington and George Glow,
two notable representatives of the lis
tic arr" left town last week for Tintic.
No sorrow should be felt at their depart
.ure. An element that consumes and
won't work will never be missed.
A horse that was rallied off in Tom
Edwards saloon last Saturday evening
was won by Murry c. Godbe. Murry
immediately bought an eye, car and
nosehole horse blanket, and turned him
over to trainer, who will enter him at
the next Spring meeting, against any
thing that runs, "Wild Idol" preferred.
Gushing seaving SO abruptly for Ely
seems to be capable in the face of things
of but one construction. He had infor-
mally slapped at Chas. Price at the close
,of the last mill. Price had answered
him informally and formally to the effect
that he would accept his proposition to

1t appears that the RECORD not only
sized the horse races of last week, but
also hit the nail squarely on the head il
the matter of footraciDg, Recent devel
opments have disclosed the facts to be
exactly as represented last week. Words
growing out of a dispute in poke
game gave clue to the whole snap l
appears that foot racer Henderson ap
ypiied to footracer Long for money one
and got it, but when he made asecon
ttry fox similar amount he was refused
al {o1 uyh, lpI a
fair "Givy" on the races, it wa
claimed, had not been made A report
err getting hold of these points, starte
ot once ip search of Henderson. Find
ing him the conversation ran thus
"Mr. Henderson,, | believe" "1es.
"I'm the reporter who wrote up tn
races last week. You did," "Ye'
how did it strike you" Some hesitatio
followed this direct inquiry. which I'll
reporter seeing, went right on. "Go
see heard that you had not been fairl
dealt with by those Taylor fellows, an
that you gave it to them pretty straigl
before they left. Is it true they didn
settle fairly with you on the footraces
eyes" was the reply. ''It always fal
to my lot TO have all the dirty work
do get the money, throw it into them al
then-what do I get? | get it in t
neck. | have lost over 81, 300 in t
last II months on just such rackets
this" 'tDid Long write you at s.
Lake telling you about the races he
and also Dan Mcdonald would be go
man to handle you and himself TO
while after the races?" 81 don't care
answer that question just now" was
reply, "but before 60 l will hs
thought my future out little more d.
nitely, and perhaps I'll give their VIII
snap away, their plans for the'future o
everything "What is Longs ril
name?" Henry Stevens" "When
you first meet him?'' "When / first I
him set him off five feet in hund
yards and beat him out of $500 of
own money, and he's had it in for
ever since" One round of drinks
lowed after which Henderson publ
said that the RECORDS report of
races was good one in every partic,
and that as far as he was concerned
sized his part in them just right.
