WILKINSON DEAD.
Henry Zimmerman Loses His
Trotting Stallion.
The Racers Record Was 2:l3 IL and
$4,000 Had Been Offered for Him by
German Capitalist.

Henry Zimmerman Jr. met with
serious loss Wednesday in the death
of his well known racing stallion,
Senator Wilkinson. The anima
was apparently in good health yester-
day and was driven as usual yesterday
afternoon by his trainer, Chas. Seeley.
He was returned to his stall in the
stables near the park at about $50
o'clock At nine o'clock he was taken
seriously sick, and Mr. Seeley at once
hitched up another horse and drove to
the City Hotel and notified Mr.. Him
melman, who directed that Dr. Dodds
be called. 1t was about ten o'clock
when DR.. Dodds was called. The com
plant refused to yield to treatment,
and Senator Wilkinson breathed his
last at six o'clock this morning
The Senator was a magnificent ami
mai and was the pride and envy of
horse men for long distance around
He was nine years old, gentle and good,
and was raised by Mr. Zimmerman.
1t is difficult to say what his money
value was, but Mr.. Zimmerman was
once offered $4,000 for the animal de-
livered in Germany. He refused the,
offer, but would probably have &C
cepted it had the delivery been at New
York. The animal was worth several
thousand dollars. Parties in Italy
have been anxious to secure him.
Senator Wilkinson's race record was
2:133, made at Indianapolis two years
ago. The last quarter was made in
3O4 seconds. He trotted in many races
and was always speedy and reliable.
Mr.. Zimmerman was getting him in
good condition to exhibit at the state,
fair, but did not intend to enter him
for any more races. but to keep him for
breeding purposes. He was sixteen and
a half hands high and weighed 1850
pounds. He was rich seal brown in
color, with tan muzzle and TANKS,
beautiful name and tail, large nostriIs,
and full expressive eye.
The Senator was sired by Woodford
Wilkes and his dam was Idol Girl. On
both sides he had Ham bletonian blood.
Woodford Wilkes was sired by Geo.
Wilkes, record 2:22. and his dam was
Hernia, who had Mambrino blood.
The cause of the Senator's death was
acute Indigestion Mr. Zimmerman,
carried no life insurance upon him.
The loss of this animal is loss to the.
stock interests of Blue Earth county.

BROKEN LEG.
A Bicycle Rider Runs Into Delivery
Wagon.

A fifteen year old boy named KEN
ponolde met with a bad accident on
North Front street at about fifteen
minutes before noon Wednesday. He was
riding north on the street at lively
pace, with head down, according to the
account given by spectators, Geo. E,
Brett's delivery wagon was standing at
the curbing near A j. Busch q Sons
store, facing the north. Mr. Story,
the driver, started to turn into the
street, when Kemponolde crashed into
the wagon from behind,
The boy was thrown under the horse
and was trampled upon. His right leg
was broken and he was otherwise in
jured, and his wheel looked as though
it had gone through mill. Mr. Story
picked up the boy and placed him in
the wagon and conveyed him to his
home on Walnut street
Mr.. Story was not at all to blame for
the accident. Young Kemponolde W as
riding too fast and perhaps in such a
strained position that he could not see
ahead, or else did not observe that the
horse was being turned out from the
curb. Had he been riding within the
rate of speed prescribed by the ordi-
nance it would have been impossible for
the accident to have happened.
