struck him while his ha nds were
tied. When Officer Perez arrested
him we had to assist the officer in
getting Mills under control. He
is a powerful Negro, and it was all
we could do to keep him under
control. He should have been
fined 500 instead OF $40. The
hackdriver was my brother, but it

CHICAGO, Feb. THE now man
ayers OF the whisky trust will very
shortly move the general office Of
the company from Peoria to Chica-
go. This step is taken to remove
the offices as far as possible from
Peoria influences. 1t is stated the
stockholders will decline the pro-
position Of the officers and direc-
tors to turn back to the company
the ST. 100000 worth of bonds which
they scooped in at 80 cents on the
dollar. 1t is said they will decline
it because they have claims against
the board which more than coun-
terbalances any gain from their
acceptance OF the offer.
By the decapitation of President
Greenhut and the appointment Of
the new receivers the directors and
managers salaries and incidentals
which exceeded 100000 last year
are cut off.

The Priest and the Bike.

New YORK, Feb. IA special
dispatch to the World says: DR..
Rocker, private secretary to Mon
signor Satolli, said last night: 81
do not think the holy see has in
tended to take any action against
the use Of bicycles by priests. The
matter was brought up in a Hun
garian diocese and taken to Rome
for decision. 1t was decided that
the subject was local. But it was
thought that it would be best for
the priests to refrain from riding
any more than was absolutely
necessary" The reason for this
DR.. Rocker said, was the peculiar
costume which priests in Eu rope
wear. So long as bicycles are used
within the proper limits they
would not be frowned upon. II a
priest is improper in this matter is
the provin ce OF any local church
official to see that he corrects his
deportment."

Another Cowboy Race.

MINNEAPOLIs, Feb. 1.-THE great
cowboy race on bronchos from this
city to Chicago will probably start
today. The cowboys are all to
travel by the same route and regis
ter every twenty-five miles. The
route will be through Saltwater,
Hudson, Baldwin, Menominee,
Eau Claire, and Burlington. Each
man will start with five horses and
it will take about five days to flu
ish the race. "Pony Bob" Haslam,
Of Chicago, is to referee the race.
The entry fee will be 500; winr or
to take $500 and second man 5000.
SoTe Of the well known cowboys
who have entered for the race are
Bud Ford, Yakima, Wash; Jim
Seager, Powder River, Mont. :;
"BOgie" Henderson, North Platte,
Neb Bill Anderson, Little Mis-
souri, R-nch, n. ID ; and "Hen"
Benson, Box Elder, Mont.
The race was arranged by Pony
Bob Haslam, OF Chicago, who is a
veteran of the old pony express
days.
This race recalls the race during
the latter part OF June, 1898, from
Chadron, Neb, to Chicago, the tx.
act objective point being the
Worlds Exposition, distance OF
900 miles. There were nine riders
and seventeen horses in that race,
nearly every rider but one having
led an extra horse for use in case
OF accident to the one he mounted.
The men were supplied with maps
indicating the route and showing
the places where they We're re-
quired to register. The race was
talked of long time before it was
actually started and when it was
learned that the cowboys expected
to make the 900 miles in from II to
Is days cry went up from tender
hearted people ali over the country
protesting against the wilful abuse
OF dumb beasts in that fashion.
The cowboys on the plains, how
ever, had no fear of the s. p. &. A.,
and went on training their bron-
chos and getting ready for the
race. When the final day came
the Humane society sent men to
watch the treatment of the animals
and they and all other spectators
at the start were surprised when
the pistol shot was fired to see nine
bronchOs walk away slowly down
the dusty road toward Long Pine.
The Humane officers reported that
they saw no cruelty to beasts in
that, and went away. At various
points along the way, however, the
Humane society made it its bust
ness to see what condition the
horses were in. They might better
have examined the cowboys, for
they were the beasts that suffered
most, and 1t is said that eight Of
them took their meals standing for
ten days after their arrival in Chi
CagO.
