moved From His Stable at Track,
CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-Populist, one of the
fastest horses at the Hawthorne track has
been stolen from its stall in Edward Corri-
CANS stable at the track. It's absence was
noticed by j. T. Williams, the owner of the
horse, who went to the stall to take a look
at his valuable runner before departing for
chicago. To his CONSERVATION Mr.. Williams
round the stall empty. He called several
stable boys, but they dislaimed any knowl-
edge Of the whereabouts of the horse Corri-
gan was notified of the disappearance but he
knew nothing of the horse and then Mr. Will
lams realized that the animal had been
stolen.
Boarding the first train into Chicago. he
hastened to the central police station where
he reported the theft. Officers were iTnme-
d1ately detailed to guard every railroad de-
pot and to intercept the animal in case an
attempt was made to ship it away. No trace
OF the horse had been found at late hour
last evening.
Populist one of the warm favorites at
the Hawthorne track. AS a steeplechaser the
horse has national reputation. He won two
races recently, the first Oct. 8 and the
with odds of to 5, and the horse carried 154
pounds. He was entered in the fifth race
yesterday, but was scratched.
Frank Martin brought the horse to Chicago
from Kentucky a month ago. Populst made
himself felt at the tracks and Williams who
owns string of horses, told Martin Of his
desire to add Populist to his possessions. He
agreed to pay $4,000 for the racer Williams
paid an installment of $1,000 and was given
possession of the horse. He has not since
added to the payment. Williams is positive
that Martin has nothing to do with the dis
appearance of the horse as the agreement
between them regarding the purchase price
was clear, and. there was no dispute.

until the confidential messenger got
back and the customers of the bureau
would fail to connect. If they were
"long'' of Tobacco a break of five or
ten points, such as several times hap
pened within a few hours, might then
have wiped OUT their margins.

been In" the So without any risk
whatever and would perhaps have ex-
planned to the horde Of customers like
ly to come around in a rage that, of
course, they couldn't predict every
move, and the clerks had to stop oc-
casionally to do little work for their

customers who had paid their S. ought
to have made almost as much on the
break in Tobacco stock as the big OPP
orators did on the RISE
On the other hand, the two trust
stocks paused several times on their
downward course and rallied, and 1t is
supposed that the insiders bought a
few hundred shares, in order to steady
these stocks, so as to market a lot
more. Experts in the brokers' offices
in such cases might have undoubtedly
hurried the tip to the bureau that the
stock was a purchase "for turn" and
their patrons would have bought per-
haps at 1875 or 125.
