sundays Races.

More than a little interest is taken II
the races TO take place aC Hancock next
Sunday and there will undoubtedly be q
large crowd OF bicycle enthusiasts from
this city in attendance at the driving park
The races are all sure to be hotly con
tested and some good time will probably
be made, as the professional men are in
good condition and training hard for the
races. There ia more interest over the
race between Boone and Irwin Williams,
il it is arranged, than a little and there
will be quite little money bet on that
event. Most Calumet people think Boone
il the faster man of the two, but the iron
country rider has many friends here who
think he was at disadvantage IN the
last race between the two men on ao-
count of the fall he had and that he could
defeat Boone in another race.
Perhaps a tTo-mile race will be ar
ranged between the two men, as Boone is
willing TO arrange race for that dis
lance or five miles, the same as was
raced before. or any other distance that
will suit the iron country rider.

Action Was Deferred.

When the case against Joseph Daniels.
charged with non support of his wife and
family on complaint of Mrs. Daniels.
came up before Justice Fisher this morn
ing, action was deferred in the matter at
the instance of the prosecuting at
torney who desired To look farther into
the matter before proceeding. Mrs. Dan
Tells was also notified that she would
have to give security for the costs or se-
cure an order from the commissioner OF
thepoor that she was unable to do 80 CT
the case would be dropped. When the
matt-r first came uD in court she claimed
that she was too poor TO pay the costs
but it is claimed that she has plenty of
money in the bank.
Mr., Daniels claims that he is much
abused man, that his wife takes bis
money and ten always wants more
That he is unable to live happily with
her but does not want to leave her on
account OF his children. The fact of her
having money in the bank would make
1t seem ridiculous to bring charges of
nonrsupport. Mr.. Daniels SAYS that
every time he raises word against his
wife's actions, she goes to court and il
costs him neat sun to settle the mat
ter there.
