Phenomenal Achievement.
Henry v. keller's Driving
Horse AccomplisheS the
"Impossible."
PAGES a Half Mile, Over a
Rough Road, Up Hill p.
in g.

The local horsemen, and those inter-
ested in horses, are wondering what
happened on Friday afternoon last.
Henry V. Keller has a fine, seven
year-old pacing mare-a beautiful and
stylish animal which he drives to a
buggy for pleasure and business, and
which has meyer been specially trained
nor cared for as track horses are. She
has always been considered a fast
roadster, but has never been on the
track. Mr.. Keller and James Carline
were discussing her merits one day
last week when Mr.. Keller said he
believed that she could pace a half
mile in 1:20 or better. Mr.. Carline
thought not, and in few minutes
twenty dollars had been deposited by
each of them to back up their diverse
opinions. 1t was agreed that trial
should be made on Friday over a
measured half-mile on the Fairy Lake
road. Several lesser bets were made
by other parties, and before the time
fixed cons iderable interest had been
aroused in the trial. On Friday after
noon fully $50 pers ons went out to wit
ness the race against time. The Sc
lected track is straight piece of fair
ly good road, as country roads go, al
though rough and uneven for race
track, the south end being considera-
BILE higher than the north, and the bed
is quite sandy. The distance was
measured, and several timers, official
and unofficial, were on hand to catch
the time. Mr.. Keller drove the mare
to jogging cart of the large wheel
sort, and went south oyer the road, or
up hill. A flag was dropped as the
mare crossed the line and the timers,
with stop watches, were at the finish.
The mare sped over the course like the
wind, and midway struck sag in the
road and made little skip for a short
distance, losing time while off her feet

The Odd Fellows Picnic.

As the HERALD was being printed
last week there was in prog
ress at the Fred Cooper place on the
lake an Odd Fellows picnic, which was
in every respect a delightful success.
Of the grand officers there were pres

Deputy Grand Master G. r. Wilkin.
son, Grand Secretary A. L. Bolton,
Grand Treasurer G. M. Sprague and
the grand representative to the en-
campment, M. G. Kelsey. A number
of addresses were delivered by the
grand officers and visiting brethren.
There were present representatives
of the Odd Fellows and Rebekah
lodges of Alexandria, Long Prairie,
Glenwood, Osakis and Brandon. An
organization was perfected to promote
4 like outing annually, with L. H.
Vath president, J. E. Lundgren OF
Alexandria secretary, and an execu-
tive com pittee composed of one mem
Der of each lodge mentioned above.
In the evening social dance was
given at the auditorium, light re-
freshments served and a literary pro-
gram rendered.

The local newspaper

and yet she made the half mile in
1:9, as caught by four or five watches.
and 10 as caught by one or two
others.
Something had happened! Expe-
rienced horscmen present scratched
their heads, looked at their watches,
remeasured the track Expecting to find
it SHORTCUT did not-and simply said:
"Impossible!" 1t couldn't be.
w. NJ. Henderson, an authority on
horses, himself the owner of a string
of fast ones, held his own high-grade
time piece, and stopped it on the 10
notch. He couldn't believe it! 1t is ii
question if he'belieyes it yet-and he
says he saw it. No one claims fraud
at any stage of the proceedings. The
distance and time are all right-and
still some of those who saw it refuse
to- believe their senses. Mr.. Hender-
son says that the horse was at a dis
advantage of from six to ten seconds
in the half mile. On regulation
track with a regular racing "bike, "
he says the mare would have beaten
her time by that much.
In other words, her record would
have been world beaten.
Mr.. Keller naturally feels elated
over the trial, but he says he will not
train her for the track, but will con-
tinue to use her as driver, content in
knowing that he has a horse which
can rise to the occasion in case Of any
emergency.

BOLD HORSE THIEVES.
They Hold up the Officer and
Make Good Their Escape.

A horse and buggy, owned by VIM.
Chisholm, were stolen on Saturday
night from one of the streets in New
Paynesville. The constable of that
place tracked the rig to Grove Lake,
where he found it in a grove with two
men. He enlisted posse of four far
mers, two of them armed with shot
guns and they made descent upon
the fellows. The officer drew revol-
YER and demanded the surrender of
themselves and the horse and buggy.
They told him to take the outfit and he
pat his revolver into his pocket and
went to get it. Just then one of the
men covered the officer with revolver
and told him to get out. His posse OF
farmers concluded not to shoot the
desperate fellows, and the constable
told them to guard them while he went
| after more help. AS soon as he drove
OF the men got into the buggy and
drove away. When the officer returned
they were still in sight but at Grove
Lake he lost track of them. It is be
ieved that they went into the grove
while their pursuers took to the open
prairie.
Officer Minnette received a telephone
message from County Sheriff Schil-
plin, and started out going north of
the grove, but no traces of them were
found. On Monday two suspicious
characters were observed in this city,
and awaiting descriptions of the
thieves, they were Swallowed, but evil
IDENTIFY becoming suspicious that they
we're watched, they slipped away.
However they were not the men-not
answering the description.
No arrests have been made so far as
can be learned.
LATER.-The horse and buggy were
found on Wednesday in the GROVE
Lake timber. The horse was hitched
20 tree and had been neither feed nor
watered. The thieves escaped.
