The racing at Singcrly, Nd, was post
poncd after the first race bad been run
yesterday afternoon on account OF the
officials OF the Southern Racing As>oria-
ton refusing to grant the demands OF the
horsemen to increase the purses to 500
instead Of So: and the people who sup
port racing have again been victimized
through this unreasonable decision. II
was at least thought hat the officials
would grant Il + demand ofthc horscn G I
and continue to-day's racing, 50 the 500
people who paid 81 railroad fare and
neglected their business to soc some rae
ing would not be disappointed.
The horsrmcn appointed as a commit
tee the following gent'cmcn: John
Underwood, Frank Weir and William
Grath Mr.. Underwood acted as spokcs-
man. He told the officials that they had
been appointed to notify the association
that unless the purses were raised to 500
they would not start any more horses. Al
ter a sho t conference lad been held the
officials announced that they would not
agree to any such proposition, and if the
horses entered in the second race were
not at the post in fifteen minutes the
races would be called off, and owners
having horses in that race and their
Jockeys would be ruled off, and it would
stand at Iron Hill, according to Mr..
Flynn, who claims to represent that
association.
AT the end of the limited time one OF
the officials addressed the horscman ask
ing them if they intended to start. \
chorus of nearly POO voices yelled: mo.
no! no! close the gates first and they
were closed. Those who had badges
were refunded their admission fee. 1t
appears that the association was wrong
in not granting the demand of the horse
men as the purses were very small in
comparison with the profits. Good rae
ing can hardly be expected Nh';e the
first horse gets S5:', second s. and third
only S3. The officials claim at the last
meeting at this track the horscmen de-
manded S175 purses which they granted
them, but afterwards accepted Sl30
purses at Iron Hill without any
prctcncc Of striking. This is all true,
but now are they asked t" accept
less than half with no possible chance OF
IN increase whether there is on" or ~
books ON. One of the officials when
questioned regarding the prospect OF re-
Suming, stated that it depended entirely
upon the hnrscmcn, as they would not
comply with their demand, and he
stated furthermore iuLt Mr.. Flynn had
assured him OF his support i'll this mat
ter. The horsrmrn will hold Il n,,rting
at E!kton tomorrow morning, at III
O'Clock, to decide what they shall do.
There is little doubt but tl.at racing
will be resumed in the course Of Il few
days.

FOR FORGERY
q young man Of Bigelow pro-

is Arrested and now Awaits
SIS Trial.

/ a. w. Stromblad was taken into
custody Wednesday afternoon BY
Sheriff Anderson on the charge OF
forgery. He was brought before
Justice Hildreth, pleaded guilty and
committed to the county Jail to await
trial. Two notes were forged, both
bearing date April l, 1897, and due
Sept, |, 1897. One was for $55, sign
ed Hans Nystrom, the other for $27,
signed Chas. Wickstrom, both were
IN favor of Oscar Johnson, negotia-
tions were made by mail with Mobiles
county bank from Bigelow over the
name of Oscar Jansen. Mr.. Evans
knowing the reliability of Mr.. Nys-
from and Wickstrom. purchased the
notes April 18th paying $3.50 by
draft On Chicago in favor of Oscar
johnson. The forgery was discover
ed when Mr.: Nystrom was notified of
the note being due, after he had ex-
amined the signature. The matter
was placed in the hands of County At
torney Crandall, who promptly placed
a warrant for the young mans arrest.
Sheriff Anderson went after the boy
Tuesday not finding him at home left
word for MIN to come to Worthington,
which he did and was taken care of.
An ADVANCE reporter called on the
prisoner at the Jail and found young
man about 2l years of age, we'll dress
ed. He said he was prompted to forge
the notes on account of being hard up
for money, and was assisted in success
fully obtaining it by ideas gained by
reading dime novels and other trashy
literature. He speaks somewhat brok
en- but uses no slang, oaths or improp
er language, and appears to feel his
position and deeply repent his wrong
doing. The penalty for the crime is
ten years of prison life.
