WAS HEAVILY INVOLVED.
Believed the Missing Sumner County
Prosecutor Is Dodging His Debts.

wellington, July $50 far no trace
has been secured of z. E. Wilson, the
missing county attorney, who wrote his
wife from Topeka that he was going to
drown himself in the Kaw river. The
suicide theory is generally discredited
since the condition of Wilson's affairs
has become known. About the time he
disappeared a S12, 900 mortgage on some
cattle he claimed to own was filed by G.
S. Jobes of Kansas City, and other
claims are turning up that show he has
been going at a pretty fast clip finan-
cially.
1t is now believed that he has left the
country. Wilson was a lieutenant in the
Twenty-first Kansas during the Spanish
war and up to this time has borne
good reputation.

Eyes of Trotting Horsemen Are
on Lou Dillon.
Her Accomplishments Have
Never Been Equaled.
AFTER CRESCEUS'MARK
Wonderful Records Made to {
q Road Wagon.
Harnessed to a Lighter Sulky
Time May Be Lessened.

Chicago, July Lou Dillon's extra
ordinary performance at Cleveland will
remain the subject for discussion until
the grand circuit opens at Detroit, July
20, unless, as is quite likely. she does
something even more sensational in the
interim.
1t is as yet, too early to say that she
is the greatest of trotting mares, but
that she is the most remarkable ever
seen, as yet, an the harness turf is not
to be questioned, and already it is gen.
orally being argued that she has a
chance, and a. good one, to beat Cres-
ceus worlds record of 2:02z this season.
When 1t is recalled that her entire pub
lie career includes but two exhibition
miles, trotted during the past three
weeks, her phenomenal quality is at
once self evident. The word phenomenal
mas Deen applied to so many fast horses
that 1t is pretty nearly threadbare-but
no other so fifty, so appropriately, can
be used TO characterize Lou Dillon.
When, June 16, at the inaugural
drove the dainty little chestnut mare a
mile in 2:O6A, she did the trial so easily
that her owner was satisfied he could
have driven her below 2:O5, had it been
his desire to do so. He was confident
that on her next trial she would ac-
complish this and her time, 2:0434, shows
how wonderfully correct his estimate
was.
The fractional time of these two miles
is most interesting and deserves study.
Here it is.
