HIS CLAIMS TO RECOGNITION AS A ROAD

ERFORMANCES.

Having got thus far, and taking for
granted that the trottlng habit was very
strongly developed in the mare it IS OF
interest to examine the pedigree of the
sire to determined whether yet stronger
racing or pacing elements existed ON
that side The recorded pedigree of
Blaze, set out in the Field as extracted
from the General stud Book, of both
the editions of 1873 and of 1920, is here
given:

it a penal oflense to dock horses tails,
and that the term of punishment for
such crimes shall be not less than five
years at hard labor. 1t is too bad such Il
law was not in force in Washington.
Grover has set an example which
lowers him in the estimation of every
man, woman and child by allowing such
a cruel act as docking to be performed.
He has shown little regard for hnmanity
in the past and less for the poor dumb
creatures of the present. We are
ashamed of the magistrate of this great
nation Breeder aud Sportsman.

There would thus appear to have been

the dam of Blazn, though no one can say
what wa> its whether run

Barb and Arab blood, the trOtuug ten

from BldZr, on each side, the reunion Of
the blood in Rysdyks ltmbletonian,
the sire of 50 many fast American trot-
ting horses, shold have proved to be
of the most impressive character, would
appear to warrant the conclusion that
there was a strong latent trottng ten
dency in the near ancestors on one, #
not on both sides of Blaze.
OF the progeny of the Original Shales
only the records of two horses have
come down to Us, Scot ShaleS and
Driver. Lawrence, in his notes, makes
mention of his having "formerly oD.

the headquarters of the trottng stud,

one blood-like IN the counter shoulder
and deep girth; the other of the round

round-legged FORM 1t may be assumed
that the former was then IA fairly accu-

while the horses which traced back to
Driver were more generally of the lat

When the now twenty-year-old horse

boards of Indian Territory, consists Of
wholesale robbery in several small
towns in genuine desperate style, by
Bill Cook supported by strong and
desperate company of eight or ten fol-
lowers. -Four men rode into the town of
Watova, making their approach known
by the promiscuous discharge of fire.
arms The bandits tcrrorized the inhab-
itants, visited every store in the village,
taking all the money they could find
and everything else they wanted. The
postoffice was robbedjo about 500 in
cash and $55 in stamps. From Watova
shey rode to Tala, ten miles away,
where they repeated their depreda-
tions. Every store in the place was
visited and the proprietors were COM
PEELED at the point of Winchesters and
revolvers to turn over the cash. From
their description the men are un-
doubtedly the same gang that held up
the Missouri Pacific train at Coreta.

Thieves Plumber the Store of Cox &
Skinner.
UNION, Oct 25.--The large general
store of Cox &, Skinner was broken into
by burglars and between $500 and $500
worth of goods were taken, consisting
of ready-made clothing, shoes, under
wear, shirts, handlSerchiefs, two
boxes of neckties, gloves, hats, caps
and,various other articles The thieves
gained entrance by prying open the
front door. Tie parties are believed
to have had two one-horse rigs with
which to cary off their booty They
emptied several two-bushel bags of
fruit on the floor and it is supposed
that they packed the plumber in these
sacks for convenience in carrying.
Officers at outside points have been no.

looking for the miscreants. The sher
1T of Grundy county telephoned that
stranger had arrived in Grundy Cen
ter CARRYING a sack of something on his
back, and the officer was ordered to ar
rest the man and investigate. No
other clue has as yet been discovered.

SIOUX CITY, Oct. a5.-The cases
against John c. Kelly. editor of the
Sioux City Tribune and internal rev
enue collector for the Northern district
of Iowa, came up in Justice Morris
court on charge of obtaining money
by false pretenses in over-charges for
county printing. The attorney did not
appear, but when the cases came on he
came in and fled motions to dismiss
all of them The motions stated that
they were instituted by a private party
for private purposes and that no public
good was to be accomplished by them.
He also said that he would at once dis
miss all the cases against Mn Kelly in
other courts and those against E. G..
Peters, who swore to informations
on which members of the board of
supervisors We're arrested. The charge
against Mr.. Peters was perjury. This
puts an end to the efforts to prosecute
citizens for the course they have taken

than TO Canada. Newfoundland is
not. as many suppose, a province of
Canada, like New Brunswick, Nova
Scotia, Ontario. etc, but is separate
and independent save in a certain i'll
