GOES TO PRISON FOR LIFE.
Sentence of Frank NOvak for Crime
In WakfOrd, Iowa.

Des Moines. Iowa. May 21.-Frank A.
Novak will stay in the penitentiary for life.
The supreme court yesterday confirmed the
sentence imposed by Judge Burnham, of
the district court of Benton county.
Novak disappeared from the little town
of Wakford on the night of February =,
1899. His store burned that night and a
dead body was found in the basement. 1t
was supposed to be his until it was found
that Edward Murray had also disappeared
and that Novak had S21 900 in life insur-
ance. Novak was finally caught in Daw-
son City by a detective and brought back
for trial.
The jury found him guilty of murder in
the second degree and recommended ten
years Imprisonment The judge said he
was either innocent or horribly guilty and
gave him a life sentence. The supreme
court said this is the only reasonable view
of it; that Novak had a fair trial and must
suffer the penalty.

 troublesome jockey by kindness after dniug and punishment had failed to make the eolored boy accept the gray ity of the situation.
 That boy FoN, who used 10 ride the RuJdy Brothers animals and wear the WeI-llnoWn white with green harp on the back colors was absolutely de- liant said the old starter. If l said; Heok here, Fox. 1 will rule you off for lfe he would grin like an ape and, leaning over his horses neck, would say; 'Cain't yoh all make it fer few years longer. Mistah Pet% l was about ready to make good my threat when Fox got into scrape in the paddock and was badly cut with razor. He was bleeding badly and no one seemed to comprehend the necessity for dress ing his wounds. asked him to come 10 my quarters, and with the simple rem edies that the stable veterinary pro yided l soon had him saved from bleed ing to death. We'll, when that eolored boy recovered and began to ride again he was the most polite jockey 1 ever 1 knew.

 Ii is known to but afew outside the i police who served in the memorable raid ou the Garfield track that Starter Pettingil made great plea for the 1 horses quartered in the stalls and de l pfieed of care and food by the indis- cffmiuate arresting of the stable at- l teEdants. When the bluecoats sW3rmed down on the stables "Old Peg met them. Say, officers, you should know better than to take these little coIored urehins away from their charges. They know nothing but horses. It is not plain 10 them that a law of the land is being broken by con dHcting bookmaking on races. They hail from a locality where the adage goes: If whisky interferes with your business, drop the business and go 10 the races Their employers feed them, ciothe them and give them a small stipend for their work about the sta bles. To take these lads, innocent of any crime, would be 10 leave valuable horsefesh in neglect. These highly strung race horses have to have much more care than the working animals. You would be amenable under the laws for cruelty 10 dumb brutes were you to take these boys.

The largest single grave in the world occupies just exactly one acre ol ground, which is surrounded by an iron railing This enormous grave is located in Pearto Cortez, in Spanish Honduras, and is the burial place of woman. This tombstone occupies the center of the ground inclosed, and sey- eral wooden figures representing the deceased are arranged in statue-like form in different parts of the ground. There are no fewer than 16 of these fig ures, which in the evening give the place a ghost-Iike appearance. The de- ceased had died rich, and in her will had specified the amount of ground to be purchased for her grave and the manner in which it should be deco rated. She had many curious notions, and the size and ornamertation of her grave was one of. them.

Next day he was in line with his regiment, and there was the usual nervous apprehension among the men, but he was fully occu- pied with his aching tooth Suddenly the fight was on, and with a yell he started forward at the head of the com pany. He yelled and eheered and fought for two hours, and when the victory was won he was highly eomplimented for his bravery. Yet" said he, it wasn't bravery at all.

time when the jockeys known as the best piesEin artists of the land faced Pettingill for the word go" accom- panied by=the wave of the little red flag, all sorts of tricks were fesorted 10 10 get an adfantage over "0ld Pet" But the autocrat of the flag showed his southern temper. He gritted his teeth, thought of the $500oo prize that one of the boys was to pilot his animal under the wire for and told the jockeys that he would see fair play, fair field andN no favor if he had to keep the entire lot of stake animals at the post until night fall. Boys dismounted under the pre- tense of tightening surcingles. Others who knew that their mounts were be- ing tired by the constant fretting and false breaking endeavored 10 get from the starter a promise that he would not leave their mounts in bad place when the flag dropped. For an hour and half those boys jockeyed to win the big certified check derby" by beating the starter.' The thanks of all the lovers of true sport were conveyed 10 "Old Pet" for his determined stand in this valuable race. Twenty thousand people cheered when he finally got all the jockeys under complete subiection and dropped his flag while their mounts were in line and under motion. The heavy fines meted out that day to the belligerent jockeys were not rescinded by the autocratic starter He determined to punish as lie had the right to do, and "bIarney' aud threats had no effect upon his decision It is as necessary 10 have men of such sterling honesty and integrity as "0id Pet" at the important places in racing as it is for the government of the Unit cd States to have it's congress. Conf dence reposed in these men brings pa irons to the tracks. No ,.jobbed race could be sent away from Pettingill's post with his sanction.
