Businesson the Stock Exchange was light
to-day but IL was we'll distribni ted and the tone
OF the market was nrm in the early dealing and

A VALUABLE STALLION.

Editors of the INDEX: I see in your
stallion, Allakan, is located this season
at Medicine Lodge. He was the pre-.
mier stallion at my stock farm at God
dard, Kansas. and is one of the best
bred of trOtting or pacing stations IN
the state Of Kansas. He is half broth
or to Stamboul who in 1893 held the
worlds trotting record of 2:7i and also
of Saladin who held for a time the
worlds pacing record of 2:54. His
breeding is almost the counterpart of
the get of of ElectIoneer and Beautiful
Bells. His sire, Sultan, was by the
Moor the sire of Beautiful Bells and his
dam, Betty Bismark. was by Victor
Won Bismark, a brother in blood of
Electioneer.
Electioneer and Victor Won Bismark
were both by old Hambletonlan 10, and
their dams, Green Mountain Maid, and
Hattie Wood, were sired by Harry Clay
45. Electioneer leads all stations as
the sire of 2:10. 2:l5, 2:2O and 2:3O trot.
tiers and if Victor Won Bismark had
served the same class of brood mares,
he would have been his equal. 1 have
no longer an interest in Allakan, but
thus call attention to him that the tar
mers of Medicine Lodge may know his
great value as sire. He went a mile
in 2:2S and a:27 in one afternoon after
only two months training and the
same season he went mile in 2:19a.
Several of his get have made trials 1

ANOTHER RAPE FrENp.

Another culprit has unmarked him
self and another girl Is paying for her
folly. John w. Blake was arrested in
this city last Wednesday on charge of
rape upon daughter Of John Young
of Turkey Creek township. less than Is
years of age. It is claimed that the
crime was committed under a prom.
Use of marriage, but when Blake sold
his cattle on Tuesday and left the same
night for Medicine Lodge, the girl sus-
pected that he was about to leave the
country and she confessed to her par
ents. Mr.. Young followed Blake at
once and arrived here about daylight
Wednesday morning. Blake was ar
rested at JOhnson's hotel before he was
out of bed. and committed to jail. He
was taken before Judge Brady, pleaded
not guilty and waived preliminary. E.
Sample is his attorney.
Investigation reveals the fact that
the mans real name Is Daniel w. Ed
wards and that he Was married in 1895.
He has wife and two girls living near
Ell Reno. Oklahoma. He fled petition
for divorce, on the ground of abandon
ment, Immediately after his arrest.
Blake Tor Edwards) was one of the
principal witnesses in the case of state
vs. Jenkins, the cattle case in which
the jury disagreed at the recent term
of court, and had been in the employ
ment of John Young, the prosecuting
witness in that case and the father of
the outraged girl, number of years.
His crime will be a serious obstacle to
the prosecution in this case and it will
tend TO strengthen the contention of
the defense, that Blake engineered the
arrest of Jenkins to recover the reward
offered by the Live Stock Association,
and that the theft, if committed at all.
was committed by Blake himself.
The bond OF the prisoner was fixed at
$3.50 which he failed to give. He is now
in jail and will board with Sheriff Gano
until the October term of court.
