CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct 13.-There was an
unusually good Monday crowd in at
tendance at Worth this afternoon and
the spectators were treated to some
fine sport. Form players were not in
the best of luck, cashing on only two of
the six favorites, but as no long shots
won, the books had a losing day. The
events of the afternoon were the third
and fourth races. The former went TO
the fast two-year-old Philo. who showed
his heels to such good sprinters as
Burnie Bunton and Matte Spencer.
Jack DeMund, the Eastern horse, was
the fayorite for the fourth event. ana

RESULT OF TURF SCANDALS
Many Persons Leave France in Haste
and Others Are Invited
to Depart.

PARIS. Oct. 13.-As result of the
| turf it is understood on good authorit,
that American jockeys will hereafter moi
receive licenses to ride either in Eng.
land or France unless they produce, il
addition to their American licenses, per.
sonal letters vouching for their char
acters and regulations from the Ameri-
can turf authorities.
The frauds in this country have oc-
casioned a great upset. 1t is estimated
that sixty persons, including owners
have already left Paris. Forty more
started today. Many of them are al
ready in London, where they are keep
ing silent. The French authorities in
many cases. where conclusive evidence
was not found. but there was sufficient
ground for the belief that the suspects
were not desirable, had recourse to the
law, which says that persons may be
invited to cross the frontier unless the.-
nave been registered for fifteen days.
"A Long lnVeStlSatl0n.
The investigation of the frauds by
the authorities extended over three
months, and was of the most minute
character. Every American frequenter
of the race tracks was the subject OF
surveillance. Many of them were called
upon to testify at the investigation
One of these, buyer for New York
dry goods house, when asked what he
was doing at the tracks, replied:
None of your business
He was advised to be civil When
he told his occupation he was dismissed
without being further questioned.
Some of the lies told by jockeys proved
their own undoing. They were asked if
they had been in the company of the
of the frauds and they de-
clared that they had not been. Then
they were confronted with photographs
of themselves in company of suspects.
1t Is alleged that the authorities were
greatly assisted by some of the suspects
turning informers. 1t was found to be
easy to collect evidence from the Ameri-
can turfmen, owing to their habit of
knocking their countrymen
LONDON, Oct. 13.-Kohn one of the
American bookmakers, who was lately
expelled from France, and who came to
London, protests. his innocence of par
ticipation in the French turf scandal
He says the Frenchmen are delighted
when they win money from Americans,
but the moment they lose they become
sore and want to down" them
A Sample Case.
Kohn adds that after horse Jockey
Henry was riding, the horse being a
heavy favorite, was beaten Henry
chatted with an American bookmaker.
Henry did some figuring on program,
which he threw away. At the examina-
ion he was confronted with this pro-
gram and was asked If the 5000 francs
written on it was not the price he was
paid for pulling" the favorite.
He denied this and explained that he |
lad been figuring what the horses handi-
zap would be in its next race. He was
old that this explanation was ingenious.
Kohn further says that last week
Johnny Rieff was called before the
french minister of the interior and
He then thought that that was

IN MEMORIAn.

The uncertainties of life have once more been made apparent. One by one we are summoned to eternity. On Monday afternoon, Oct. 9th, 1902, our much beloved and highly respected fellow townsman, w. E. Wilder, was called hence at the age of 26 yrs. 6 months and day. This sad event took place, after an illness of about a month, during which time, he so far regained his health as to undertake the tire
 some trip to Heber and there re- main until he was restored to his former strength. But Providence had ordered otherwise and in- stead of strength, death raised the curtain for another world.
 The lifeless remains were brought bome, accompanied by loved ones. for the saddest hour on earth. The hour spe mt at the open grave, the doorway to eter- nity. This, the saddest moment on earth, when the allurements of earth have lost their charms, and yet at no other place are we so near the throne eternal. There
