The professor informs the State Jour
nal correspondent that while on his way
home from the interior of Alaska last
fall he stopped a short time at Valdes,
a town of some three hundred persons,
and there met Ex-Governor Leedy.
He reminded the governor that he
was in his present position because he,
Mr.. Leedy, had caused his discharge
from the agricultural college at Man
haitian, and the governor replied: Yes;
1 have been informed that there was
man in this work who owes me a gold
brick for getting him discharged from
the college" The governor was then
living with his family in a tent, and
was evidently enduring the hardships
of adversely in a frontier life. His
daughter was teaching school for small
children in the Episcopal church
The professor also met in the same
town Mr.. George Sexton, who was at
one time foreman for him on the agri-
cultural college farm

MERCHANTS swINDLED.
Business Men of Mcpherson Cash
Forged Checks.

Mcpherson, Jan. 6.-Several of the
business men of this city were the VIC
Tins of a sharper the past week.
A man entered respectively Entri-
ken's, Miller's and Aurells meat mar
kets and at each place purchased a
small quantity of meat and lard. His
bill at the first place was seventy cents,
at the second it was seventy cents, and
at the third it was sixty-five cents.
AS payment for the amount at Entri
ken's he offered a bogus check to the
amount of $3.50 and was taken. He
was given cash for the difference. He
passed a check to the amount of $8.95
at Miller's and the same thing was done.
At Aurelrs he passed a check to the
amount of $3.50 and the same was
cashed as at the other places.
In each instance the check was made
payable to Joe Lewis or bearer and has
the forged signature of HI. Parker. and
is dated January 2, 1902, and is drawn
on the Citizens bank.

up in fight among some of the train
ers, due to a spill of several riders. Will
Stinson, in an exhibition race, was
thrown and badly hurt
The work of the closing hours was
spirited indeed, and at one time it
looked as if Mclean, Leander and Sam
uelson would gain lap on the field
They had gained half a lap when they
suddenly stopped riding fast. and the
race again dropped into the same old
rut- During this struggle the Krebs
team lost two laps and the Chevaiisr
and Muller teams one lap each.

Harvard Sophomore Sets New
Mark For Strength.
Arthur Tying Breaks the Inter
collegiate Record.
HE COMES FROM JAPAN
Is OF AnglO-Saxon Parentage,
Son of Minister.
Registers in Test Sixty Points
Over Former Champion.

Cambridge, Mass, jan 6.-Arthur
Tying. a member of the sophomore class
at Harvard, broke the Harvard and in
tercoIlegiate strength records Saturday
by registering 2.22s.4 points. His legs,
back, and upper arms are by them
selves stronger by sixty points than the
record of Allis of Minnesota, who head
ed the intercollegiate list last year.
The gym nasium people were unwill-
ing to have these performances publish
ed. because by that means Columbia
is enabled to save herself from sur
prises. 1t is, nevertheless, = feat which
could not be kept secret.
The steady advance made by Tying
was over 100 during the last week An
unofficial test taken last week was 2, 101-
Seven days later the test yielded 2.226-4.
The same man. when a freshman last
year, made but 1,40O, which was at the
time the freshman record.
AS he comes from Japan, it may be
thought Tying is Japanese. To this
mistake also the quaintneSs of the name
Anglo-Saxon. He was born at Osaka,
where his father has been an EpiSco-
palian missionary for a long term of
years.
When Il Tying was sent to Germany,
where he studied at the Stuttgart High
school He passed the Harvard exam
nations at Hotel Kley, in Connecticut,
having prepared largely by himself.
