PICKLED SHEEpSKINS.
a Method OF Preserving the Hides
Which Gives Them . Tanned
Appearance.

The discovery was made last summer
by customs officials in this city that
certain picked sheepslins previously
admitted free of duty as raw skins
were not really raw skins. These skins
were imported in casks, done up in
dozens, and while there was really no
pickle in the casks the skins were Camp,
showing that they had been picked.
The skins were taken out of the Casks
end hung up over night to dry. They
were then exhibited to dealers and tam
ners, who, from the appearance of ;he
Lkins, pronounced them TO be leather
1t was ascertained that these skins had
undergone a lengthy process of manu-
facture, such as taking Off superlucus

house and worked on at some consider

CLAW THE WINNER.
Took the Special Prize at Last Nights
Races.

CLAW was again the winner in last nights
one hour and a half's riding in the woman's
bicycle race at Tomlinson Hall. She had
the hardest fight of the week, however, to
get her wheel across the tape first ahead of
Farnsworth and Anderson, who fought hard
all of the time
When Wagner and Allen were taken off
the track five minutes before the time was
up to allow the three leaders to fight for
the finish, CLAW was in the lead She did
not try to make a runaway sprint, but
wisely saved herself for the last few laps.
Farnsworth soon jumped to the front, and
the pace increased. Then Anderson made
her jump and went to the front. CLAW and
Farnsworth also shot forward Anderson
succeeded in holding the first position for
several laps, but CLAW again showed the
speed she had, and on the lap before the
pistol was fired she went out like a cannon
ball with Farnsworth and Anderson pushing
her at every turn of the pedal. Around the
track they flew at terrific gait. The little
German closed up and when the tape was
crossed at the finish her wheel was in front
by only a few inches, with karnsworth lead
ing Anderson by about the same distance.
So close was the finish that the crowd had
to wait for the referees decision to tell who
was the winner of the special prize. There
was not a wheel lengths difference in the
three wheels as they shot across the tape
Anderson's friends still have confidence in
her for the finish tonight, but the majority
of the crowd that has watched the race
from the start pick CLAW as the winner, but
will not bet any money on her, for they
know that Farnsworth and Anderson have
equal chances to win. The score for the
and 10 laps. They rode 90 miles and laps
last night. Tonight the young women ride
two hours and half. They will go on the
track at $50 o'clock and the race will finish
at IL o'clock.

HAS TWO RECEIVERS
BROAD RIPPLE RAILWAY COMPANY
Is WELL SUPPLIED.
Henry L. smith Selected by the Gig
cult COurt-Judge Aliens Decision
-krag-ReynOIds Case.

AS result of the controversy which
arose in the Circuit Court on Thursday
in the Indianapolis & Broad Ripple Rapid
Transit Company litigation, the road now
has two receivers. Which of the two viii
operate the concern remains for the court
to decide Yesterday Judge Allen, in the
Circuit Court, appointed Henry L. Smith
receiver for the company on the application
of Leon Bailey, who was represented by
Attorneys Bosom & Ruckelshaus
Last Tuesday evening. in Room 3, SUI
perior Court, Judge Carter appointed John
B. Cockrum receiver for the company. This
was done on the petition of the State Bank
of Indiana the company consenting to the
appointment As soon as it was known
that this recefvership had been created the
attorneys for Mr.. Bailey, having filed their
petition several days before the other, be-
gan steps IN the interest of their client.
They claimed that the action taken in the
Superior Court was without their knowl-
edge, and it was held that the receiver
should have been appointed in the Circuit
Court There was considerable argument
along this line on Thursday, and yesterday
Judge Allen, took. w, the matter again. He
held that he had ample jurisdiction in the
case, and as the first petition for receiver
was filed in his court, he had a right to
pass on it.
The court then named Henry l.. Smith as
receiver and the latter gave bond for $50
COO, with the American Surety Company as
surety. Attorney Elan at once Informed
the court that the company would take an
appeal to the Supreme Court, and an appeal
bond was filed, with James r. Henry and
II. w. Miller as surety
BoIh receivers were in court and at the
close of the proceedings Mr.. Cockrum
stepped over to Receiver Smith and handed
him an annual pass over the Broad Ripple
road. Receiver Smith gracefully received
the transportation and the incident caused
the court and lawyers to chuckle. 1t is I'M
derstood that petition will be filed in the
Superior Court to-day setting out the action
OF the Circuit Court and asking Judge Car
ter to vacate the receivership which he Gre
ated. The petition OF Leon Bailey alleged
that the Broad Ripple Company was heay-
lily indebted to him for legal SERVICES

WANTED THE REWARD.
Why George Bennett Brought Little
Adah Collins.

A0ah Collins. twelve years old, who ran
away from the Children's Guardians Home
three weeks ago. was yesterday brought to
police headquarters by George Bennett, of
West Indianapolis, who asked for the IS
reward he had heard the board had offered
for the return of its escaped charges. He
stated that the little girl had been staying
at the home of her stepfather in West In
danapolis. for three weeks and that the
latter fearing he would get in trouble by
keeping her longer had asked Bennett to
take her to police headquarters and turn
her over to the authorities, assuring him
that he would get the reward offered for
A@r return At the door of police headquar-
tiers he left his charge outside and by the
time he had explained the situation to the
desk sergeant she had disappeared. Bicycle
Patrolman Lancaster Tecaptured her several
blocks away. While bringing her back she
made charges against Bennett that led the
police to hold him for short time He was
soon discharged, the little fugitive having
foundered hopelessly around in her state
ments during the police cross-examination
The girl was held over night and Will be
restored to the home to-day.
