Result Of Disputed Race

hNOouN VI Dl0yUlVu RSOOV
j. A. Tuthill and party of Omaha
racing men arrived in this city late
Friday night from Pender, Neh, where
they barely escaped with their lives
from the clutches of q gang of muir.
deIous half breed Indians.
A very successful running meeting
had been held at Ponder by Tuthill, as
secretary of the Trans Mississippi rae
ing circuit, and the last event of the
mees was an Indian race. 1t was tine
feature of the program which caused
the trouble.
The aborigines made q ragged start
and were called back by the judges
but paying no heed to the signal, con.
tinued their course around the track
The Judges declared 1T "no race" but
the Indians could not see it that way.
The three winners, Three-Ey ed- Owl,
Man Afraid-of- His Wife and Man
Smell-Llka-Skunk, called upon Tuthill
to pay the premiums, which Tuthill
refused to do, acting OF the decision
of the Judges. An angry mob sur.
rounded Tuthlll and threat ened to kill
HIM and take his money.
TUTHILL DREW A KNIFE.
AS Tuthill had $500 in his pocket, he
did not enjoy the prospect and, draw
ing his jsckknife, threatened to do
some killing himself. He retreated
slowly to the train, closely followed by
the mob, and finally secured shelter
in . passenger coach.
Tuthill's secretary, A. G. Campbell
of this city, was not 50 fortunate.
When the mob threatened violence,
Marshal Clarke took Campbell into
the court house for safe keeping. The
gang broke down the doors and cap
tured Campbell. After robbing him
of $50 the Indians beat him until he
vas almost rendered unconscious.
The other members of the party
consisting of j. c. Buchanan, A. l..
Miller and A. Hamilton, escaped
without injury.
at was simply an attempt at high
way robbery, said Tuthill. The half
breeds were led by race track tout
named Patsy Brannigan, who knew
that had some money and thought
he saw good chance to get it. "-Om-

'TARMfR' KIlRN's ENTERpRlzE

Many wealthy investors had located
on the Charlton before Judge Kern
came. Having bought large tracts of
land for song, they felt they could
Afford to spend some money on the
river, and elaborate systems of dukes
and levees were built, tut when the
lntrsctable river took notion TO 90
visiting over the lowlands it went, and
the grain fields bowed To the invader.
SO the thousands of dollars spent on
the levee scheme added nothing to the
value of the bottom land.
This summer GARNER" Kern
brought into the community strange
looking agricultural implement. The
boys" who had grown gray struggling
against the Chartons floods gathered
around it and wondered what sort of
"mlll' the Judge was golng to run
now. In truth the main part of il did
look a good deal like q sawmill shanty.
but there was no explaining the der

observed them in operation.

the Judges Macon County land from
$40 to 500 an acre.
by the LIST of November the dredge
will have completed waterway so
feet wide, ID feet deep and three miles
long through Mr.. Kern's farm and 1t
has been scientifically estimated that
the heaviest flood that ever came down
the Charlton will there find ample room
for venting its destructive tendencies.
DITCH SAVED CROPS THIS SPRING.
The dredge consumes 1000 gallons
of water per day, one ton of coal, and
excavates $50 feet in length, 12 feet i'm
width and & feet i'm depth. The dirt is
thrown thirteen feet from the edges of
the excavation. 1t takes crew of
five men to operate the machine.
Judge Kern has made several efforts
to have the County Court take charge
of the improvement along the whole
length OF the Charlton River In the
county, but number of the land
owners up the river, fearing heavy
bonded debt, fought the movement,
and the Judge was left to battle it out
alone
During the floods this spring the big
ditch, though only partially finished,
paid for its cost of construction in the
salvation of crops, and demonstrated
beyond doubt that it was the only
practical solution Of the overflow
problem.
The result has been or Interest to
land owners every where whose posses
slons are subject to damage by high
water to investigate Judge Kern's
method on tho Charlton river, with
view to adopting it,.
In addition to the m ain ditch, sur
