VENER JURIST SUCCUMBS
TO HIS INJURIES.
PECACEFUlLY PASSES AWAY
Death Due TO Compression on Base OF
Brain Occasioned by Hemorrhage
from Ruptured Blood Vessels Re
mains TO Be Inferred in Trempea-
leau County-A State Funeral.

Madison, Jan. 13.--Justice A. w
Newman, who fell on an icy crosswalb
and fractured his skull Tuesday morn
ing while on his way from his home to
the state house to attend a sitting oil
the supreme court, died at 1880 O'Clock
Wednesday morning. He was uncon-
scious until the time of his death
which came 20 hours after the acct
dent. He was conscious and rational
from an hour after the fall until
o'clock in the afternoon when he be-
gan TO gradually sink into comatose
condition which deepened by degrees
until he passed away as peacefully as a
child falling TO sleep. Death was due
to compression on the base of the brain
occasioned by the hemorrhage from
ruptured blood vessels.
Judge Newman was born at Durham,
Greene county, ~ Y, April 5, 1884.
His ancestors were English and his
mother, Patty Rogers, was a descend
ant OF John Rogers, the martyr buried
at Smithfield during the reign OF
Bloody" Mary. Like most American
boys of his time he was brought up on
a farm and spent his time there until
10 years of age. He then attended the
Ithaca academy for two years and
later spent two years at the Delaware
Literary institute, Franklin, n. Y.
after graduation he studied law in the
office of John Olney, at Windham Cen
ter, in his native county, having
taken some lay studies while in the
franklin institute. After being add
mittec to the bar in 1857 he came to
Wisconsin and remained for a time at
Ahnapee, now Algoma, in Kewaunee
county, but later settled at Trempea-
leau, on the Mississippi river and there
entered upon the practice of law The
region was newly settled and his prac-
tice extended to several counties. and
in those times a dry goods box covered
with 4 blanket served for bench for
the circuit judge. Judge Newman was
modest man and never sought official
Treferment, but was elected by his fell
low citizens to many positions of
honor. In 1860 he was appointed coun-
ty judge and was also twice reelected
to this position. In 1868 he was
elected district attorney and served
eight years. He was state senator for
one term and was elected circuit Judge
in 1876, in which Office he served until
elected to the supreme bench.

DECISION OF THE STEWARDS
PATRONS OF RACING PLEASED AT THEIR AcrIO
-FUTT -RITY ENTRIES

The vigorous action taken by the stewards of the
Jockey Club In regard to the cases referred to
them by the stewards OF tho Saratoga and Brighton
meetings caused a panic among the men who
boast In public places that the in-and-out running
Is al right. and that there has been no occasion
for fau-finding with the racing either Brighton
or Saratoga. TIC say that the patrons Of racing
were pleased at the lcton Of the stewards would
oe an extremely mild statement. There was gen
era rejoicing although many persons believed that
several VIGOROUSLY impudent and incompetent
jockeys and few trainers should be added to the
list Of outcasts These persons should be pstien.
FOR there will be another meeting of the Jockey
Club stewards when August Belmont returns and
II Is safe to predict that something heavy will drop
win sufhcient force TO crush few OF the persons
who have evaded punishment for several years
James X. Keene who Is one OF the foremost sports
men on the turf Of the word has always been IN
clined to be lenient. and is reluctant to deprive
anybody OF the means OF earning livelihood He
conducts an enormous breeding establishment: he
has two extensive racing stables. one In Eng and and
the other in this country. not to mention the horses
that he has practically presented TO worthy men
who desire TO race upon a small scale His daily
turf expenses are immense. yet he does not muir
muir or find fault. He IL not likely TO do ANYTHING
inimicai to the interests Of the turf or to tn.
humbest honest turfman. Consequently the men
who have been punished by the stewards Of the
Jockey Cub by their edlct when he was I'm the
chap When the testimony IN their cases was pre-
scented had fair and honest trial Hence II ia
absurd for anybody to make plea in their de-
fence.
August Belmont. James Galway and some other
members OF the Jockey Club have large In
vested in breeding establishments and racing
stables. There Is no profit. n rule In breeding
thoroughbreds for the market. Many persons who
have tried breeding a money ma king calling
have come to grief. Nevertheless sportsmen breed
horses extensively. Now. to define the sportsman
on the turf from the sports: The sportsman races
for the love Of racing. The wealthy sportsman
places a large portion Of his income aside to meet
his expenses in carrying on his breeding and racing
establishments II his horses win races their sue
cesses reduce the amount to be paid out, and II
the winnings amount to than the sum set
aside for turf purposes the true sportsman goes
into the market and makes liberal purchases of
high-class brood mares or imports stations hoping
TO increase the number OF winners from his breed
Ing establishment.
1t is men Of the genuine sportsman class who
have made the turf In all countries Therefore
when they punish wrongdoers they certainly do
SO TO Improve the racing.

NOTES OF THE LINKS.

peonIe who profess to think that golf Is merely
a passing fad do not realize the amount OF money
which has been Invested In the game here One
of the surest indications that the sport has come
TO STAY is the enormous outlay for golf grounds
and buildings that has been made In this country
in the last three years. Some idea OF the sums IN
vested Is contained in the fact that the Country
Club OF Brooklne recently decided TO expend N2
In securing additional land for an eighteen-hoie
course This of course. does not cover the original
outlay for clubhouse and other facilities. In con-
versation with Samuel l.. Parrish recently the
