COURSINC AT THE TWO PARKS.
INGLESIDE.

Over 5000 people saw splendid coursing at the Ingleside coursing grounds yester-
 day. The hounds were all fast and the
 hares were in unusually good order. The
 talent was in a quandary during the
 afternoon, as short enders walked In without much effort.
 The form players were of the opinion l that Pet Kirby would win the stake, put as the winners dwindled down strong play was made on Seminole, who wop he
 money in handy fashion. Gladiator was ! a disappointment to many, but they seemed to pull up in the other courses, although many were at the bad when the | final was announced.
 The entire card was evenly drawn. and in consequence money was simply poured
 into the pool boxes. Rather a strong play went down on Firenza to win the
 final. but a guessing contest proved Sem mole the winner. The splendid form
 shown by Van Cloie will warrant a stake
 winner in the near future, and money
 will be plentiful when she starts against
 any number of fleet hounds. It is due to not only the training of the fleet one,
 but the blood itself which is bound to tell within a few weeks.
 | Those who played against the flyer in
 the first two or three courses were sorry they were not form players, but in the
 end the game little hound went down, i oAlSi d AidI U eIliu WcIl-AOuShl

 Yesterday, however, was an off day at Shell Mound, there being but few marks men at the range. many no doubt having been attracted to the big shoot at Schuet- zen Park.

BY 4 MESSAGE FROM THE DEAD A Spiritualistic Seance Caused a Family
 Quarrel.
Mrs. Golfer Was Told by Her Deceased Husband to Deed
 Away Her Property.
Regretted Her Action, but a Peaceful Settlena ent ot the Trouble
 Was Effected.

The property which was deeded to Mrs. Bernardino Hildebrandt by her mother-ln- law, Phlllipina Golfer some nine months ago on account of a spiritualistic message from the latters deceased husband, has been conveyed to Lottie and Mildred Strlppel, grandchildren of Mrs. Col Ter, and the suit instituted to set aside the former deed has been withdrawn. This arrangement is entirely satisfactory to all the parties concerned, and the fam fly which has been split up with internal QlSSenslon for many months Is once more happily united.
 .Tne property of Mrs. Golfer is worth apout SoUOV, and 1t was understood py the entire family that this should some day be turned over to the two little grand children. The daughter-in-law Mrs. Hlldetrandt, and her husband, had man, aged the property for the old lady ana had done their work well. Mrs Hlloe- brandt is spiritualistic medium and Ire quently had sittings with Mrs: Golfer. At one of these Mrs. Golfer received a mes sage from her husband, who had died some time before, and this message ad- vised her to deed the property to her daughter-in-law. The reason given was that the property could be more easily managed by Mrs. Hildebrandt If 1t were in her name. Mrs. Golfer did as directed by her husbands message, and the deeds with the understanding that the property was to be held in trust for the two chill dren.
 Trouble arose in the family over the matter, and Mrs. Lillie Strippel, the mother of the children, and Mrs. Golfer becoming convinced that Mrs. Hide brandt had taken possession of the prop erty from no good motive. brought suit to set aside the deed, alleging that undue Influence had been used in the transac- tion.
 Friends of the family brought about a consultation between the aggrieved mem bers Saturday and harmonious settle ment was effected. Mrs Golfer wrote a letter over her signature entirely. exoner- ating Mrs. Hildebrandt from the sus- pieion of mercenary motives in having received the deed. In regard to the al- legation that undue influence had been used, she said: My deed of that prop erty to you was made of my own free will and choice without any suggestion from or request by you"
 By means of this letter peaceful reconciliation was brought about. Mrs. Hildebrandt feeling that if she retained possession of the real estate some might still think her motives were not honor able, deeded 1t to the mother of the chill dren, who In turn transferred 1t to the little girls themselves. Mir. Hildebrandt was appointed guardian of the children and the management of the property was IaTt tn

clouds of sand arose from the hills where
