only horseman now living who saw the
famous race at Louisville, in 1899, between
Wagner and Grey Eagle-a race to which
may be traced the prejudice of running
horse men against the gray or white
thoroughbred-is reputed to have been
among the first to suggest the purchase
Of Priam, bought for the then enormous
price of $4,000. Although Emancipation
and Chateau Margaux had preceded
Priam by several years, the latter was
considered the greatest horse imported
UP to that time, and the English turf
followers considered his loss a great one.
Next in importance, perhaps, to Priam
was Glencoe, by Sultan, which sired in
England Pocahontas. famous as the dam
of Stockwell, Rataplan, and King Tom.
The American pedigree book is full Of

Of England
So the Englishrnen have plenty of their
own blood lines to run back to in their
search of American material Nto re-en-
force their breeding farms. Not all OF
those that have been brought over to this
side have proved the great sires that their
pedigrees or performances warranted the
importers in expecting, and, in fact, some
of those which cost the most and from
which the most has been expected have
proved 6isappointments. How much Of
this is due to the niching of lines may
never be known, the problem Of breeding
being one In which nearly every individ-
ual has a different opinion.
In one instance the value of a sire was
discovered by accident and accidents Of
breeding have developed some wonderful
facts. When Florist came into the pos
session of Hiram Scoggan 1t was with
no thought of making him the head of
that gentleman's Kentucky breeding
farm. But by chance Mr.. ScOggan dis
covered that he had a horse that was
too valuable to be put to the purpose for
Which he had been bought. And so
Florist begot, among others, the speedy
mare Flora Louise and Dunois which
many believe would have won the Flu
turjty but for the kick at the post from
Ornament that affected him more or less
throughout his racing career.

RAIDERS KILL A WOMAN
Masked Men Enter a Saloon at Mil
wood, Kan, and Open Fire.
Victim tho WIfe of the Man In Charge
of the Place - Four of the
Mob Under Arrest.

Milwood, Kan. - In a raid on
"joint" here by twenty masked men,
heavily armed. Mrs. Rose Hudson,
wife Of the bartender, was instantly
killed. William Webb. one Of the raid
ers, was shot through one arm. and
two or three of his companions were
slightly wounded. Young farmers
composed the party. Two arrests
were made, and much excitement pre-
vailed over the prospect of still mora
serious collision.
When the men entered the saloon
half dozen shotguns were raised and
discharged into the ceiling. and two
men rushed upon Hudson with guns
leveled at his head. He grasped the
barrels and pushed them aside just as
they exploded. Just then Mrs. Hud-
son entered and dashed toward her
husband. who. she supposed, had been
shot. Another gun was discharged.
and the whole top Of her skull was
blown off. Hudson bore her to the
rear room. where she died.
Ten men are said to have been wait
ing under arms to help defend the
"joint" from the expected raid, but
when the band entered the place and
began shooting the defenders fed.
When the raiders saw Mrs. Hudson
fall dying they. too, became frightened
and hastily quit the place without at
tempting to destroy the liquors or
fixtures. Sheriff Everhardy. Of I.eav-
enworth, arrested John and Henry
Wilson, farmers. and two others. on
charge of participating in the raid.

SERIOUS CRISIS IN China
United States Government Opposed
to German Aggression.
ORDERS TO GENERAL CHAFFEE

9e 10 Not to Take Part in Count von
waldersee's Offensive Campaign-This
Government Believes It Will Cause
Another Crisis and Perhaps Bring on
aGeneral War-Feeling In Washington
Washington, D. C.-President Mckin-
ley has decided to take a determined
stand against the expedition which
Field Marshal Count Won Waldersee,
Commander-in-C Chief of the allied
forces in China, is organizing to clear
out the Chinese Imperial troops In
Chilli Province, in which Pekin is situ-
ated.
In the opinion of this Government
the plans of Count Won Waldersee, If
carried. out, will cause another crisis
In the relations Of China and the Pow
ers, and perhaps bring on a general
war which will result In the dissolu-
ton of the Empire and Its division
among the nations that favor that
course.
So far this Government has taken
no steps other than to make represen-
tations to the several Powers to secure
their support in opposition to Walder-
sees scheme. 1t Is understood that
the character of the opposition which
the United States will make to the ex.
pedition will depend somewhat on the
attitude Of some Of the Powers. Should
Great Britain, Japan and Russia, for
example, coincide with those Of the
United States 1t is likely that form.
al protest against a hostile movement
In China at this time will be addressed
to Germany.
The position of this Government is
that while peace negotiations are IN
progress it is inconsistent and unfair
to engage in hostile operations against
the Chinese. Major-General Chaffee,
commanding the American forces in
Pekin, was instructed by telegraph not
to participate in the expedition and ad-
ditional instructions will be sent to
him when the policy Of the Govern.
ment has been fully determined. He
has been directed also to use his inhu.
ence against the expedition.
1t was from Major General Chaffee
that the Government learned of the
German Field Marshal's intentions. A
dispatch on the subject from him was
the subject of conferences between the
President, Secretary Of War Root and
acting Secretary Of State Hin. Major
General Chaffee said, it is understood,
that Count Won Waldersee was organ.
izing an expedition to drive the Chi
nese troops out Of Chilli Province and
had asked him to join. 1t did not take
the President and his advisers long to
reach the conclusion that the declared
policy of the United States was In
direct opposition to the objects Of the
expedition and the instructions re.
ferred to were sent without delay.

There For q Week.

Atlanta, Ga.-The dead bodies Of
Mrs. H. NJ. Wilson, beautiful young
widow. and William Hamilton, stu
dent In pharmacy, who disappeared
from Atlanta week ago. were found
one mile from the end Of the Chatta-
hoochee tiver car line. The surround
ings indicated that Hamilton had
killed Mrs. Wilson, set fire to the
woods near her body and then ended
LIS own life.
Both bodies were burned fearfully
and rested upon breastworks thrown
up by the Confederates to stem the
advance Of the Federal Army on At
lanta in the Civil War. The bodies
were found by two negroes.
Mrs. Wilson was lying by the side
of a fallen sapling. There was bull
let hole through her right hand and
another in the right temple. The left
foot was burned off, the flames had
destroyed her hair and her left hand
was incinerated save for one finger,
which bore wedding ring.
By the side Of Hamilton was found
a revolver and an empty tobacco box.
There was q hole in Hamilton's left
temple and a few inches from his left
hand lay small mirror, evidently
used to direct the bullet.
When Mrs. Wilson left her moth
er's home one week ago she wore only
morning gown Of light material and
