paid nearly $4,000. Mr.. Knox has
many blooded horses and will bring
several of them to Washington next fall

spoiled when he became lawyer.

drove it for weeks on the Brunot Island
track and then announced that with il
he could beat the world. Against the
advice Of the jockeys he changed DIR.
Leek to the pole, and on the trial spin
with Vert he gave the horses loose

record was lowered from .. 1915 to 2,l0Is.
The Childs mansion, which Mr.. Knox
bought recently, will soon be dismantled

into the Needleton house and Hender-

hitched. Hearing a noise he turned
around and saw Ridel coming out of
the house fourishing gun and talk

son says Ridel again threatened to
kill him and he thereupon jerked his
Winchester from the saddle and COW

his gun. Instead Ridel grabbed Ment-

body held the pistol hand outside. try

what Henderson threatened to do but
Ridel said he was not going to be run
out, but the women present at last
got him to go down the trail where he
waited for time. In the meantime,
Henderson threatened to kill Ridels

Ridel. The wounded knee began to
pain and Henderson was soon per
