AS G. g. Kent was returning from

became frightened at an automobile
going at a high rate of speed. He
gave a signal TO stop and John Smith,
who was riding with him, called at

they didn't until Kent and Smith we're
both thrown out and Smith was quite
seriously hurt and the wheel of new
carriage marked. When Kent spoke
TO the parties about damage, he was
told he could not collect any because
he did not give the signal. Does the
law require a man to swing his arm in
the air, while the controller of an
automobile considers, and finally con-
sents to stop? An ordinary man has
only two hands, he needs both of
those to control a frightened horse.

would be less accidents

REPORTED PLOT AT cheyenne
FOR LIBERATION OF TOM HORN

Denver. Aug. "A Republican spe-
eial from Cheyenne, Wyoming, last
night says:
Startling reports are again in circula-
tion here that an attempt is soon to
be made to liberate Tom Horn. the con-
demned murderer of Willie Nickel, and
who made the spectacular but unsuc-
cessful attemept to escape two weeks
ago to-day.
The methods to be employed by
Horns friends in effecting his release
are not known, but the officers are on
the alert, and Horns friends will get
warm reception If they do come.
1t Is said that one of Horns lifelong
friends is the instigator of the plot to
set him free, and it is also said that
the attempt may be made during the
Frontier day celebration. The friend
Of Horns is now in Colorado. but with

RELIANCE BEATS SHAMROCK iii.
IN FIRST RACE OF THE SERIES

New York, Aug. 23.-After a glorious
race over a thirty-mile windward and
leewad course the Reliance won her
first race for the Americas cup yester-
day, defeating the Shamrock III. by
nine minutes elapsed time and seven
minutes and three seconds corrected
time.
The race was by no means one sided,
as the final figures would seem to indi-
cate, as the challenger did remarkably
well in the thrash to windward. She not
only held the lead for nearly an hour
but for time it locked as though she
would beat the Reliance to the outer
mark.
Unfortunately for the Shamrock III.
as they neared the Mosquito or Jersey
coast the wind headed the Upton boat
off and the Reliance rounded the outer
mark with a lead of three minutes and
twenty-one seconds, most of which was
gained during the last four or five
miles of wirdward work.
In the run down the wind with spin
makers set there was nothing to it as
the Reliance, with her big sail spread,
simply ran away from the challenger,
and added five minutes, thirty-nine sec
onds to her already long lead, so that

on their guard.

Horns confidence in escaping is su-

of these people Horn is said to hold in

the Shamrocks time allowance of one
minute and fifty-seven seconds cut very
little figure in the result, no matter
what the result Of the new measurement
might be.
In spite of months of preparation. the
Shamrock was badly handicapped by
poor canvas, and there is little question
that with a better fitting mainsail she
might have beaten the Reliance to the
windward mark. Even with well fitting
sails it is doubtful, however, whether
she will ever be able to gain enough
in going to windward to make up for
what the Reliance. with her huge sail
plan. will gain down the wind.

have reached with Mr.. Burns is very
satisfactory and l think 1t is to him."
