DICK wELLEs A GoOb BARGAIN
Respess Makes Good Money on the
Sueedy TwO-Year-Old.


Speedy Two-Year-Old.
Respess, one of the shrewdest horsemen in
the west, purchased the colt Dick Welles for
s4,50O cash, with the condition that an addi-
tional $1,000 be paid if he won stake, and an
additional $1,000 if he won a. second stake.
So the most the colt can cost Respess is $1,000.
Reports are to the effect that John A. Drake
the owner of the American Derby winner
Wyeth, has offered $4,000 for the colt, and it
Is safe to say that this amount will be doubled
II the colt continues to win as easily as he
has his first races Should Dick Welles' win
the two stakes in which he Is entered, his
nerformance will attract the attention Of some
of the wealthy eastern owners, and it would
not be at all surprising If Respess secured a
$50 10 offer for the colt before fall 1t is need
less to say that If such an offer Is made DICK
Welles will not stay in the Resness stable
very long. Welles is one of the few colts
which can run on either heavy or dry track.
He has made shows OF hts field on both.

NEED OF MORE cows
Dairy COmmfssioner Mcconnell Say.
Minnesota HASN'T Enough.

Although the present cow population of
Minnesota is 900, Dairy Commissioner Nc
Connell insists that the bovine total should
be twice that number. When dairy farmers
express the fear that the business will be
overdone, he says, they forget that the big
tide of emigration which has again set in
toward this country, will greatly. increase
the, demand for dairy products. 1t is fact,
also, he says, that at least 100000 cows of
the dairy herds of the state are absolutely
worthless That the business is not being
oyerdone, he points out, is shown by the
fact that in 1850 the United States had sew
enty cows to every 1000 inhabitants, while
In 1900 the average number of cows for every
1000 people was but ffty-seven.

COLD BATHS POPULAR


in June.
In spite of the cold weather in June boys
in large numbers went swimming at the pub
lie baths at Lake Calhoun. The turn 'stile
showed that over $500 people entered the
baths in June while the cash register showed
receipts of s34.80. The weather was so cold
part of the time that several days passed
without a single admission.
Since the warm weather has come the
baths are more popular than ever, and crowds
of boys and men are in the water at all hours
of the day. The present indications are that
the baths will have much larger patron
age than was expected when they were To-
Gated on the north bank Of the lake. The
car service Is poor at the present time, but
it is said that cars will be run from Twenty
ninth street and Hennepin avenue every If
teen minutes through the bathing season.

JURY JUSTIFIES HOMICIDE
Verdict of Not Guilty in Case Oi
Chicago 0abman.
KILLS HIS EMPLOYER DURING QUARREL
Dead Man Attempts to Deduct nm I'm
collected Fare from Drivers
Wages and Tragedy
Is the Sequel.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-After nearly a week
of trial. followed by only fifteen minutes
Of deliberation, jury in Judge Brentano's
court has returned a verdict OF mot
guilty" in the case OF Edward Coughlin,
charged with the murder Of Caesar C.
Harse. The twelve men agreed without
any debate that it was case of justifable
homicide.
Coughlin was a cabman without dol
lar except his salary. The man he killed
was a liveryman and is reputed 10 have
left an estate Of over $4O0, 900.
The trouble between Harse and Cough
lin began when Coughlin reported that he
had driven two passengers about the
down town district ar l had been unable
to collect a fare of 81. Harse is said to
have been abusive and finally said he
would deduct the amount from the pay
Of the driver. Then Coughlin is reported
to have said:
81 will put you where the grass will grow
over you before I'll lose that money"
The driver then left the barn and It Is
said bought a revolver. He returned to the
office OF Harse and demanded $50, which be
claimed to be due to him as back pay.
Harse refused to give him the money and
denied that there was any credit for
Coughlin. A dispute followed and Coughlln
shot and killed the older man.
The threat to Kill Harse and the subso-
quent purchase of the revolver caused the
state to ask the death penalty The driver
pleaded self-defense, alleging that he was
first attacked by Harse, who seized the
spoke OF a wagon wheel which he kept in
the office as a weapon.
