THE SWEDE'S LONG SPRINT
The Start Will Be Made at Five
O'Clock This Afternoon.
He VIII Be Paced by All the Crack
skaters of the
City.

Those who attend the Convention Han
Ice Palace tonight viii witness the finish
to one Of the greatest record breaking at
tempts ever made in this city. The trial
, will not be made for merely one record, but
for an aggregate OF forty records.
John Lawson, the Terrible wede.' viii
| make an attempt 20 lower the worlds rec
| ordS at skating for all distances from ten
to fifty miles, inclusive. He will start on
his long io1rneyof 50OIaps about 5o'ClocE,
and will, according to the expectations OF
his trainers, finish little after O'Clock
Those who put in an early appearance at
the rink viii thus see the finish of the at
tempt, and will not be deprived of the use
OF the ice for more than a few minutes
The records which La wSon will go against
are professional ones, and some of them
have stood since $40. With the improved
skates which have been brought out since
that time and The better methods of train
ing, it is about time that these figures
should be changed, and there are decidedly
more than one person who thinks that the
genial, fair haired Swede is the man to
do the work.
The record for the 50-mile mark is
42343 IL. The Swede has frequently
made Is miles an hour at the rink AMI
kept it up for a long distance. If he is
able TO DO this, he Will make the fifty miles
III nabOut sos or 3; 10, and as Joe Donoghue's
record for the distance, which also stands
as the amateur worlds record is 3 10. 80 2-5,
there is every likelihood that he will beat
that excellent record, as well as the ones
which he will go against
The records for which Lawson viii try
are as follows: 10 miles, 80 3S; IL miles,
1858; 12 miles, 1900; / 3 miles, 1851;
Ia miles, 50:45 Hugh Mccormick, in 1887.
10 miles, SALT F. DOwd. in 1887. 20
miles, 81 40; 80 miles, 2.2S5O: 40 miles,
8 21:O2; 80 miles, 4.23:43 1-2 A Goetz,
in 1879.
Lawson's time will be taken at every
mile in the fifty, from the Smile mark up.
and in this way he will be able to estab-
lish IN all forty-one new records, if he sue
ceeds in his attempt

MERCY WAS DENIED HER

James Craven and Herman Halter
Pleaded That Drunkenness Was

They Were Fined-Two Policy

| There is a legend TO the effect that
Capt. John Smith, some 2s9 years ago,
| left jamestown settlement in disgust, be-
| cause he could not instil in certain II enr-
bcrs of the village a proper amount of
| business energy. HeIowed up the Potomac
as far as the Great Falls, Eoting with
delight the fact that although the men of
jamestown might be somewhat ayerse
TO work, the workings of nature on the
gentle slope OF a hill, the site of the
present Police court, were, indeed, on i
grand scale.
But had the valiant explorer postponed
his visit until this NJ orning he would have
seen the same characteristics among a GER
tain portion of the local population that
caused him TO leave the settlement.
Among the actors in the daily melodrama
at the police court this morning were
Jerry Cronin, Frank Hand, John COnovan,
Thomas O'Hara, Abraham Hayden, Henry
Alien, Robert Washington, and William
Bradshaw. These men played their parts
as heavy hoboes in an eminently satis-
fac tory manner.
O'Hara related a lurid tale of having been
out of the woTkhouse three days, in which
short period of time he had gotten to-
gether his extensive wardrobe, secured his
berth on the sleeper of Pullman bound for
Newport News, made the journey thither
and returned to this city. There seemed the
slightest shade of a shadow OF doubt in
the mind OF his honor as to the possibility
OF such an exploit as outlined by o'Hara.
IL did not seem possible for man who
had every appearance of totally lacking a
surplus amount OF energy To cover the dis
tance mentioned in that space OF time
''0'Hara," said the judge, step back"
That individual, with his face falling like
the thermometer before a blizzard, regained
his place in the ranks
Conovan, white, and Allen, colored. told
stories that appeared plausible, and their
personal bonds were taken. 0'Hara was
given sixty days. The court, after listen
ing to the stories OF the others, gave them
thirty days each.

executive committee will be held in this

tors for Montana, and expected to be the

report has been received by Chief
Paris from No. 3 Engine Company, of the
details of the fire at No. 81 4 Delaware
avenue northeast, In which a man was
fatally burned, and another was in
jured. The chief thought the published
statements OF the particulars tended to
reflect upon the company, and he required
a special report, which showed that it was
the fire department force and not the police
that rescued the inmates of the burning
house and extinguished the fire.
Chief Paris said If it had been shown

Huronite, 80: A Huronite reporter
called on Public Examiner Taylor We'd

dispatch to the Sioux City Journal rele-
tive to the auditors report.
After reading the dispatch be said:
"Th,s is all false. My first report is cor
rect. There were a few errors in copy
ing made by the typewriter, but there is
not a word of truth IN the statement
that the report showed errors in fifty
three companies. Mr.. Grlgsby never
made any statement. He came to me
with some figures that Mayhem had
given him and I showed him at once
that the auditors figures were wrong.
"Mr. Mayhem settled according to my
report. Mr.. Nipple will settle according
to my report. He has deposited s2,27l
and is checking over the books to
satisfy himself. When he gets through
be will settle according to my report.
1 am adverse to rushing into print about
this matter, but you a. say that l will
stand by my report until it Is proven to
be incorrect, and { have not the slight
est idea that such a conclusion will be
reached. The fact that Mayhem settled
by it, and that Nipple IS using it as q
basis to check with Is pretty good evi.
dence that my report is correct.

For weeks the probable prosecution OF
Nipple, Mayhem and Anderson has been
hanging over their heads, like Damocle's
sword, 10y a hair. and the drop has now
come. According to a special of the
2ond inst. to the Sioux Falls Press, Pub
lie Examiner Taylor that day swore out
jaformations before Justice Marsh, who
has issued warrants, which are now in
she hands of Chief OF Police Sutly. The
charge contained in the information is
enabezzlement. Civil suits have also
been commenced against ex-Auditol
Nipple and his bondsmen for $4,000 fol-
3ees collected by the auditors Office
and not turned into the state
treasury. The bondsmen of Nipple for
;he first term are c. z. Bennett Of
Pierre, Frank Morris of Trip, John
Schamber OF Olivet, and E. F. Hosmel
and 4. n. Ke.ine of Hutchinson county
TN his second bond are G. C. Bennett
and B. A. Cummins of Pierre, John
Schamber of Oilvet, and E. F. Hosmer Of
Hutchinson county.
Civil suit also has been commenced
against Auditor Mayhem for the same
cause for 81 800. His bondsmen are @
c. Bennett and B. A. Cummins of Pierre
). 7. Kean of Woonsocket, and G. H
Anderson, W. II. Williams and Nj. Muil
Of Sanborn county.
The theory upon which these suits are
brought is that all the fees collected by
the insurance dept rtment OF the audi
tors Office for the work performed by ar
employee of the Office belongs-not only
in good morals, but in law as well-tt
the state. The governor arrived at thu
capital this morning, and these suits ane
prosecutions are the direct result.
The commencement of the prosecution
also disclosed q rather strained state o
affairs between the governor ano
Attorney General Grigsby. Thu
governor, it is understood, owing to tn
position the attorney general has taker
from the start, has become convinced
shat he did not desire to prosecute, apo
would not conduct such action in goot
faith, and when the governor was las
here he employed Skunk & Hughes
prominent lawyers of Pierre, to conduc
the litigation, and will pay them out 0
his " pocket. States Attorney Este
OF Hughes county is to cooperate witt
these gentlemen and lend them any aid.
