 TURF CONGRESS STAKE
The Derby Winner Got in His Work in the Stretch, and Finally Beat Advance
 Guard by Neck.

Detroit, Mich, July 26.-Sidney Lucas won the Turf Congress stakes at Highland Park today.

HAD THREE WATCHES
Police Think They Have Found Some
 Stolen Property

Officer Baker arrested a negro yesterday in Buzzard Roost who had in his possession three gold watches which are believed to have been stolen in Pratt City Tuesday night. It will be remembered that on that night several residences were broken into from one of which some jewelry and sev- eral watches were stolen.
 The negro arrested by Officer Baker, who gave his name as George Harris, had in his possession a watch which answered to the description of one of those which are miss ing from Pratt City. The negro was locked up in the city prison awaiting an investi- gation.
