COU RISING IN MEXICO
WILL BE INAUGURATED.

T. r. Crump prominent sportsman
from Mexico, is in this city ostensfbly
with view to purchasing a number OF
greyhounds which, it is expected, Will
afford amusement to the people of sport
ing proclivities who reside in the city OF
bad sewerage.
Mr.. Crump stated that owing to the
manner in which the Mexicans and Am
orleans have been fleeced by horse rae
ing jobbers and other enterprfsing indi-
viduals who introduced hippodromes of
divers kinds, the sporting fraternity of
the city in which he resides has learned to
become very cautious and Will not touch
anything now that savors of crookedness.
He also says coursing will be a novelty
and that after the Mexicans shall have
become familiar with the game large
purses will be given for competition. He
intends to keep the sport clean. as 1t is
the only way in which it can prosper in
any country

a RES RAN WELL
AFTER THE RAIN

IN a course between Minneapolis and
Santa Alicia yesterday at Union Park the
hare pursued by the dogs when running
at great speed suddenly stopped and fell
dead. Judge Bull said that it was the
first time he had ever witnessed such an
occurrence.
In the sapling stake the course between
Mike Davey and Rock Island King was
given to the last named dog. but 1t ap-
peared to many critical observers that
Davey should have been declared the
winner, as he outscored his opponent two
to one in the latter part of the contest.
The hares ran very strong, but those who
played the short end did very well, es-
pecially in the open stake. The result

HIS CRIME NOT FORGOTTEN.
Louis Siminoff Arrested for a Burg
larry Committed Two Years
AoO

Louis Siminoff, a young man well con-
nected in the city, is in 'the tanks at
the City Prison and will be charged with
burglary. He was arrested Friday by
Detectives Ryan and O'Dea.
About two years ago Siminoff was en-
ployed as elevator boy at the Wilson
House, Mission street One of the board
ers, Dr. Hartley, had a valuable collec-
ton of silk underclothing and other artl-
cles in his trunks which were stored in
the cellar. He had collected them during
his travels abroad and valued them at
$500 The trunks were broken open and
emptied of their contents
Siminoff disappeared about the same
time and went to New York after dis
posing of the articles. The police were
notified and a portion of the stolen prop
erty was recovered in a pawnshop at 24S
Third street.
Siminoff returned to the city a few days
ago, and Friday morning Ryan and ODea
saw him in a pawnshop at 2l3 Third
street He had bundle with him which
contained q number of mortice locks,
window fasteners and door handles,
which were evidently stolen from some
building The detectives have been en-
deavoring to ascertain the owner OF the
stolen locks before booking Sin1non on
the charges of burglary. They have. not
vet succeeded. They are supposed to
have been stolen from a house on Her
mann street near Clinton.

draws upon Russia for wheat supplies in

the United Kingdom will depend entirely
upon the United States for wheat supplies
