Threatened Revolt Against the

The threatened rebellion against the
control of cycle racing by the League
of American Wheelmen did not take place
according TO schedule last week 1t had
been decided by a dozen or more racing
men that when an effort was made by
the representatives of the racing board
to collect the fines which had been i'm
posed upon them for disorderly conduct
on the cycle track they We're to decline to
pay the fines and defy the League of
American Wheelmen. They had it all ar
ranged and had outlined their plan to
large association of promoters in New
York. who promised to stand back of
them and see the matter through. Some
how something struck snag, however,
and when they attempted to ride in the
preliminary races, and to pace in the big
CN ent, and they were approached by the
racing boards representatives and told
plainly that unless the fines were paid
they could not ride. Here was where
the grand climax was supposed to be
reached. but like the anticipations of

or sky rocket which proved to be

crowds that surged forward to hear the
racing men, Ajax like, defying the l.. A.

each one went down into his pocket and
brought forth the necessary currency or
its equivalent and turned it over to the
racing boards representative. The crowd

cause of that section of the racing rules
which states that track is responsible
for all races run upon it, and for the non
delivery of prizes won upon It. 1t was
the first time that this rule has been
made operative and the result seems to
be that the most ignorant pressmen have
rushed forward with denunciations and
charges of ignorance on the part of the

nothing else to do. The effect of the vir-

CRoQUET TOURNAMENT.
The Fifth Annual to1Be Held Under
Auspices of Dist rict Clubs.

The fifth annual fpurnament under the
auspices of the croquet clubs of this Dis
trict will be held this week, commencing
tomorrow morning, at the courts, corner
of Rhode Island Avenue and Ninth Street.
and Twelfth and P Streets northwest.
The interest in these annual contests has
increased from year to year. and the
coming tournament promises TO surpass
any heretofore held.
Experts from New London and Mid
dletown. Conn, New York, Phiiadelphia
Wilmington and other cities will be in
attendance. In fact, some are already
here and others will come before the
close of the week to get some practice
on the Washington courts, which are
regarded as the finest and most difficult
in the country.
An additional attraction of exceptional
interest will be the contest between the
Hon George c. Strong, of New London.
and Sackett Duryee, of this city, for
the custody of the Van Wickle medal,
to be held by the winner of four out of
seven games. Mr.. Strong has been three
times champion of the United States, and
has defended this medal in many con-
tests, but 1t is now held by Duryee, who
won it at the national tournament held
at Norwich, Conn, last month. Duryee,
although yet a High School boy, is also
an ex-champion of the United States.
A novel feature of this tournament viii
be the evening games. The courts on the
corner of Ninth Street and Rhode Island
Avenue will be brilliant with electric
lights, and there will be suitable accom-
modations prepared for spectators to wit
ness all day and evening games.
In Norwich, Conn, where the national
tournament is held every year, the great
est interest is manifested in the contests
by the citizens, and the games are always
well attended. 1t is believed that the pro-
posed contests of the coming week be-
tween the best players in the world will
induce many of our people to attend and
witness this popular game as it is played
by experts and under the rules of the
national association.

WOMAN GAVE HIM THE SLIP
Another Man Comes Along ana
Mnrries the Alleged wife of
n Portrait Artist.

HEMINGFORD, Neb., June ESPECIALLY
A marriage surrounded by very peculiar
circumstances occurred at this pace. The
contracting parties were A. p. Osborne of
Salt Lake City and Mrs. Fannie Young, who
also gave her residence as Salt Lake. The
woman arrived here Monday morning in
company with A. M. Hake, who advertised
as Mr.. and Mrs. Hake, OF the Hake Art
company. and we're teaching the Hake art
system of crayon portrait work. They gave
an entertainment at this place Monday
evening and another last evening. Osborne
arrived here Monday and tried to arrange
to have the marriage ceremony performed
Monday night. but the woman did not have
a good chance to give Hake the slip. Os-
borne's presence here was unknown to lake.
Last night, after the entertainment, the
woman assisted Hake in packing .heir eff
fects at the school and started out q little
ahead OF him, apparently for the hotel, but
it developed that Osborne was waiting out
side with a carriage, in which he and the
woman were driven to the court house,
where they were married by the county
Judge, a little before midnight, after which
they drove to Alliance, twenty miles distant,
where II is supposed they boarded the train.
When Hake went to his room at the hotel
he was very much alarmed upon finding that
his former companion was not there. He
left on this mornings train for Omaha. 1t
is said that Hake and the woman have lived
together for Ave years.

ARGUE BROATCHrM0OREs CASE
Members of the supreme Court Inject
some Searching Questions Dur
ing the rpument

LINCOLN, June ESPECIAL Telegraml- y
The supreme court spent the forenoon in
hearing the arguments in the Broatch-
Moores case, the question being on the mo-
ton to affirm the findings of the referee.
Arguments for Broatch were made by Frank
Ransom and C. c. Wright. During the ar
gument members Of the court interjected Il
number OF searching questions. Wright es-
p~ecially tried TO show that the retention
Of money beyond a certain period consti-
tuted a default, even though the official
had no intention to permanently convert the
money TO his own use. Arguments for
Moores were made by John c. Wharton, j. j..
Boucher, Ralph Breckenridge and c. j..
Greene, the latter closing in one of the
most powerful speeches ever heard in the
court room. He showed conclusively that
there would be no embezzlement without
intent to %unlawfully withhold money and
cited the actions of Moores, who paid over
the money as soon as he found that it was
due from him, even though at the same time
the county owed him fees amounting to
more than $50, 900, and that there had never
been any attempt or collision to withhold
money or cover up the records.
