Warren Cox, sired by DR.. Cox, and
one Of the best bred and most valua-
BILE horses on the circuit, died on the
fair grounds at Rich Hill Friday
night about = o'clock, from cramps.
He had been entered in the 2::30 trot
and made three heats, winning the
first two with ease. Before the third
heat was called it was discovered
that the horse was in bad shape and
unable to 20. However, owing to
his brilliant record in the first two
heats, the horsemen waived their
rights and allowed him to Jog around
the track and take third money.
This, perhaps, owing to the condi-
tion Of the animal, proved too much
and caused his death. Warren Cox
was Bates county horse. He was
owned by J. E.. Clark, of this city,
and was making a brilliant record as
trotter and his death is greatly re-
GREETED 10y horsemen of this county.
