Trotter's Great Record

Cincinnati, March 17.-Captain George
y. Stone. now at the head of the Bell
telephone system of Cincinnati, was
the purchaser of Maud S. when she
was a 2-year-Old owned by Mr.. Bugher
Of Glendale, O. The price paid was
nominal and it was not until she had
been put in training that any expecta-
ton OF great results was formed. II
was then found that she possessed in
addition TO all the speed requisites. that
other requisite Of good sense and agree
able temper. She was actually loved bv
all who formed her acquaintance. and
after she became queen of the turf if
is no eNaggeratiOn to say that the feel
ing OF her trainers toward her was akin
10 worship.
IL was at Lexington, KY, where she
won ner first hOnOrs as a 4-year-old bv
uottinE a mile in 2:17%. Her next rec
ORD breaker was at Chicago. when she
made 1t in 2:1312. As a 5-year-old she
SUI further reduced this to 2:11%, 1O%
and AT Buffalo to 2:1015.
lhsn began efforts 10y others to beat
Ier record. Finally at Narragansett

her lost title.

MAY HURT WHEELER'S CHANCES
GENERAL URGED NOT TO PRESS
CLAIM FOR SEAT.
President Intends to Secure Retire
ment For Him With the Rank of
Brigadier General.

Washington, March lit is evident
that an effort is being made by some
of the administration officials to in
duce General Wheeler to withdraw his
request for immediate action upon his
resignation. 1t is intimated that this
effort is attributable solely to an in
Ierest in the personal welfare Of the
general.
In this connection it is recalled that
the president has had it in mind to ask
congress for special legislation en-
towering him to retire General Wheel
er, General Lee and another brigadier
generals Of volunteers with the rank Of
brigadier general in the regular army.
Some of the persons who are inter
eSted in the success Of this movement
feel that by immediate resignation and
the prosecution of his present deter
mination TO attempt to secure his seat
in the house of representatives.. Cen
eral Wheeler will arouse antagOnism
which may make it difficult or impos-
sible thereafter to secure from the
house the legislation needful to secure
his retirement.
General Wheeler called at the navy
department today to consult with Sec
rotary Long and Assistant Secretary
Allen, who is more directly in charge
of the islands under the naval govern
ment, respecting the report he was
charged to make upon the island of
Guam and the administration of Cap
tain Leary, the naval governor. The
report itself is not yet quite complete,
but the general read extracts to indi
cate its character.
In substance, he found that the is
land was we'll favored climatically;
that it was of strategic Importance to
the United States, was especially valu-
able as a midway coaling place in the
long run from Honolulu TO Manila, and
that the people were well satisfied
with the change in their condition.
They were of a docile, pleasing dispo-
sition, and those of the inhabitants who
preserved the traits Of the original
owners of the soil, were of fine ply
sique.
Considering the extensive reforms
Captain Leary had been obliged TO in
augurate, he had succeeded very we'll
in holding the regard of the majority
of the people of the island.

Are Doing.

What the Followers of Ring Matters
Are Doing.
The fight of Wednesday night. in
which Dummy" Rowan put it all over
Bert Mcdonald in two rounds. was the
first that Salt Lake has seen for a long
time, and it certainly was worth wait
ing for. 1t was a swift battle from the
time the gong sounded and those who
attended-and it was no small crowd
had all kinds of nice things to saw
about 1t. The management was so en-
couraged that monthly boxing carni-
Vals are to be promoted and the best
talent possible is going to be secured.
From the interest displayed in the fight
of last week, the affairs will be largely
attended. The crowd wasn't confined
to the sporting element, but among the
spectators were many of the we'll
known business men Of the city. and
they all enjoyed il immensely.
% @ Z.
Two challenges have resulted from
the Rowan Mcdonald mill. One is from
Dummy Rowan, who wants to meet
either Jim Williams or Chris Iund for
$500 a side, and the other is from Bert
Mcdonald, who is willing to go against
any fighter in the state weighing 40
poulluS. Ole OF MS greatest handicapS
in the tight with the bull-necked deaf
mute was the fact that ne was out
weighed by nearly thirty pounds. While
he is a very clever boxer. and can
handle his mits almost as speedily as
Dummy" he couldn't stop the latter's
rushes on account of the difference in
weight Mcdonald is not discouraged
at all, and he is game enough to want
to go at il again. One Of his best ouaI-
tiles is his sand. Dummy put him
down four times for the count. but the
New Yorker came up again and brave
" faced the hurricane of blows that
he knew was coming.
There is but little possibility that
either Of the matches that Dummy
proposed will come off. jim Williams
has retired from the ring and is now
swinging a billy on the police force
1t would not be exactly the nroner
thing for minion of the law to take

out of the question. There are ali

Blackfoot, Ida, March 17.-But little

favorable to the defense, as going to
show the belligerent disposition Of the
deceased on the occasion, and particu-
larly when under the influence Of
liquor
Ben Jones, another Of witnesses for
the state. testified to being present just
prior to the trouble. Anticipating trou-
bic he suggested TO Sinclair come over
to his house for dinner. Sinclair re-
sponded he would do 50 shortly.
Two other witnesses, Spence and
Powell, testified in substance to the
same thing, but were somewhat mixed
as to the details occurring subsequent
ly, but that a general good time for
Christmas was being INDUCED in by
all.
The testimony so far is looked upon
as about equal as between state and
defense. 1t is asserted testimony as to
the general character of Sinclair when
under the influence of liquor will show
him to be not only diSagreearle but
actually a dangerous man.

MIDLAND STILL S0LUS
LOCAL AGENT DONNELL HAS
HIS INSTRUCTIONS.
Colorado Midland Representative in
Salt Lake Receives Advices That
PoinE to the Fact That There is
No Foundation in the Rumor of
the Absorption.

The latest phase in the rumored
Colorado Midland sale is to the effect
that there will be no immediate con-
solidation between that line and the
Colorado & Southern.
w. H. Donnell, local general agent Of
the Colorado Midland. yesterday stated
that he was in receipt of no advices
from headquarters in regard to the
reported sale, but, on the contrary, he
had received by the afternoons mail
certain instructions in reference TO the
future policy of the road, which Adj
Gated clearly that no change was con-
templated for some time yet to come.
President Ristine of the Midland has
further issued an official statement, in
which he sets forth that the holders
of a majority of the Midland stock
cannot control its operations as a vOt
ing trust of five men protects the in
terests OF the minority stockholders,
and their rights cannot be voted away
without their full consent.
In an interview at the Holland
House, New York, on Wednesday,
President Ristine is credited with say
ing:
I am tired of denying these reports.
For the past two and half years these
makers of rumors have been trying to
buy and sell us, until now the subject
is becoming tiresome. l am free to
explicitly state that any proposal of
the Colorado & Southern to buy our
road has not been brought before either
our executive committee, the directors
or the voting trust. SO you see this
latest revival of the story put out by
an evening paper in Denver is not true.
1t said, among other things, that we
owe the Denver & Rio Grande road
$3.50 600. As a matter of fact, we do
not owe that company cent. This is
simply a sample of the brand of false
reports afioat, and another one is the
so-called criticism of bad management
