This announcement. coming from such
an authoritative source. was great sur
prise. for at the time of the death OF
Mr.. Yeatman, in April a year ago. ac-
countants who examined his books re-
ported his accounts correct. Weight

that Mr.. Gould will submit the report
of the experts who examined Mr.. Yeat-

GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

Every now and then some secretary
of a jockey club places on the program
race for apprentice jockeys. and the
result is always the samoa badly run
race. with the best horse, as a rule, get
ting much the worst of it. This was
the case on Monday, when Keynote,
pounds the best horse in the race. and
carrying thousands of dollars, almost
lost the race through bad riding. No
doubt such races serve "A good purpose,
but they are bad things for the specu-
lator to invest on. and 1t is hardly fair
to ask bettoTs to suffer in order to give
embryo jockeys chance to have a leg
up. Either such races ought not to be
placed on racing programs. or betting
should not be allowed on them
There has been a persistent rumor all
track would in the near future be sold
and cut up into building lots. The
rumor was revived anew the other day,
and again President Phil Dwyer, of the
Brooklyn Jockey Club, denied, in the
most emphatic terms. that there was
anything in the report. Il did talk
about the matter some months ago"
admitted MIR. Dwyer. but nothing came
Of it." 1t is not at all improbable that
within a year or two the GTavesend
track will be a thing OF the past. as the
extensive improvements in the neigh
horhood of the track require more room.
Winnie O'COnnor is becoming quite
bicycle rider. He recently challenged
Terry McGovern to match race. and
ii is quite possible the race will take
place. O'COnBor has none too easy a
time TO keep down to riding weight. and
1t will not be very many seasons before
the crack jockey will be too heavy to

A Receiver Asked For Bucyrus.

Bucyrus, o., Jan. Ga most pecu-
liar condition exists in Bucyrus. An
application has just been filed to have
q receiver appointed for the city. on
the ground that it is bankrupt. The
action is brought by the treasurer OF
the State. Bucyrus is q thriving city,
with healthy balances in all its funds,
but the trouble arises from an issue
of $50, 900 worth of bonds with which
to buy q manufacturing institution.
The bonds were sold year ago at q
premium and part of the money invest
ed in a shop site. The erection of q
large factory to employ 200 men was
started and progressed as far as the
walls, when an injunction was secured
through local lawyers. The work stop
ped and when the case reached the
supreme court, it was found that lot
of the bonds had been deposited with
the state treasurer by an insurance
company that desired to do business In
Ohio. The treasurer looked into the
value of the bonds, and finding out the
conditions, concluded to ask for a re-
ceiver for the town.
The action will be heard on Tuesday
morning before Judge Tobias, in the
local court.

One Hundred and Two Years Of
Age.

Samuel Salzgaber of Van Vert, cele-
brated his 102 birthday anniversary,
Sunday. He has lived in three CEN
turtles. He was born in Newmans-
town, Pa.
In every respect this grand old man
has splendid record to look back on
one that his children can well feel
proud of. Thirty years of his life he
spent as hotel keeper, and during
that time he never touched drop of
liquor. He says he owes chiefly to his
even and careful habits in life that he
is still on earth. He Is still In full pos
session of all his senses excepting that
of hearing, which has recently become
impaired.
At present Mr.. Salzgsber has living
three sons, two daughters, 80 grand
children, 112 greatchildren and p
great-great-grandchildren, one of the
latter being born q few days ago on the
Pacific coast. Six of his sons fought
for the Union during the civil war, i've
of them being wounded, but all return
ing home alive to their father. In ad-
dition to these, two sons-in-law and 20
grandsons fought for their country.
Today, with the satisfaction of hav-
ing lived in three centuries and finish
ed the first year of the twentieth GEN.
tury he Quietly celebrates his one hun
dred and second birthday with his son,
Hon. G. NJ. Saltzgaber, formerly state
senator from this district. There will
be quiet family dinner and short
chat with the old patriarch, giving his
early experiences.
Mr.. Saltzgaber was raised q Federal.
ist, became Whig, later Free Soiler,
and joined the Republican party upon
Its birth. He said: "My first vote for
President was in 1924, when voted for
John Quincy Adams. l have voted fol
every Whig and every Republican can
didate for President since, including
the late President Mckinley" The
old patriarch's persistency in staying
steady for his principles for 80 years is
indeed lesson for many q young mar
of today. When he was nearly hun
dred years old, one day, during the alb
Isence of his son, he quietly slipped
laway, took the train and safely visited
his old home in Richland county, re
turning satisfied to Van Vert.
