EUROPE VERSUS AMERICA.
Big Six Day Bicycle Tournament a,
Madison Square Garden,

New York, Dec. "a six day inter-
national bicycle tournament will be
run through the whole of next week in
Madison Square Garden. Such famous
American professionals as Shock, Wal
Ter. Alberts, Golden Ashinger have
entered, but the interest centers in the
world heaters from Europe. These in
clude such men as William Lumsden,
champion of Scotland, who has beaten
Jimmy Michael several times; Tom Lin
ton, who holds the worlds hour record:
w. Chappie, former amateur champion
of the same country; ]. Platts-Betts,
holder of the English record at one
mile, and the International one mile
record in competition made at Copen-
hagen a few months ago., and A. A.
Chase, champion of the world at sixty
two miles, and his brother, Tom Chase.
Linton is n of the greatest middle
distance riders the world ha today. In
Europe his name is a household word in
cyc1edom. He is a brother of Arthur
Linton, who died last summer from ex-
cessive road racing. Tom has the honor
Of being the first man to ride thirty-one
miles in ar hour. He did this a few
weeks ago. He had no sooner lone it
tina j. w. Stocks went him Il few
yards better, going 81 miles and As
yards. Then Linton went at the rec
ord again and managed to top Stocks
record. putting the hour figures where
they now stand, at 81 miles 5S2 yards.
P1att-Betts is by odds the fastest
dash rider in England. AS a goer
against the watch, he is about such a
flier as John S. Johnson. Chase is one
of h crack long distance men of Eu-
rope. There are only two others in the
class with him; they are Stocks n
Constant Huret of France. Stocks and
Chase have been having it" back and
forth the last summer as representa-
tives of rival chain firms. 1t is expect
ed that in this match some indoor rec
ords will be made. The most pictur-
esque fellow on the track, one can rest
assured, will be the "b'y from bonnie
Scotland" Lumsden has All inclination
to wear the striking garb Of his coun-
try and he has been charming Paris
a recently by an exhibition of eccen-
tricity in apparel. The Chase brothers
are likely to do some tandem record
riding. October 81, at the Crystal Pal
ace track. London, they cut the worlds
tandem record of McGregor and Nelson
from 1:5o is to 1:4S 1-5. and lowered the
five mile figures to 9:23, or l So seconds
inside the previous best worlds record.!s
The racing carnival begins this even
Ing. with a number Of short events for
professionals n amateurs, and will
end with a one hour paced contest be-
tween j. +. Starbuck and James Mi
chael. The rack in Madison Square
Garden will be ten laps to the mile.
Although the corners will be banked
high, the smallness of the track is like
ly to prevent the men doing their best
in the sprints.

The First National Bank Of Haley CHARGED
With AppropFiatina County Funds.

In the setting of the date for hearing
the now celebrated board appeal case
in the district court Tuesday, the at
torneys in the case Messrs. Kingsbury
and Butler, had an interesting set-to.
Mr.. Kingsbury is counsel for the
commissioners, and he charged that the
First National Bank of HALEY, of
which Mr.. Butler is president, had EN-
bezzled $4,000 of the county funds.
Mr.. Butler denied the statement, but
Mr.. Kingsbury said he could prove it
by three men whom he afterwards said
were Treasurer Clay, Deputy Parsons,
cashier of the bank, and Mr.. Butler.
1t is also said that the bank officials
do not deny that they have been using
county funds in their banking business,
and if such is the case they are liable
to a heavy penalty.-Hailey Ne,cS,

about quarter of a mile below the old

destruction. The old folks that were
working hard on the place to bring it
to something like cultivation were
driven out of their home a week AGO
and compelled to make their home on
the bluff in a prairie wagon. Of the
