GREAT EXCITEMENT
Supposed Insane Man Discovered on
the Streets Of Audubon.
FULL PARTICULARS BELOW

This morning stranger was noticed
on the streets laughing so hard as to
brighten many people. Some declared
heIwas suffering from delirium ire
mems while others declared him in
sane. After some minutes he was
able to explain between laughs the
cause of his great merriment. He re-
moved from his overcoat pocket a
large book. They noticed the inscrip-
ton on the cover Adventures of Hap
Ply Hooligan. The instant he showed
the book the large crowd which had
assembled broke into great storm of
laughter. AT once all asked where he
had obtained it and he replied that he
had purchased it at the Watts News
Stand. All the crowd Immediately
went there and purchased copy OF
what they pronounced the funniest
book on earth.

Friday night the meeting to con-
slider the question of encouragement
and aid to the Kimballton Electric
railway project, was pretty well
though not largely attended. The
expression sesmed almost unanimous
in favor of Audubon doing something
to persuade or induce them to build
this way instead of to Manning. A
committee consisting of J. A. Nash,
w. c. Elliott and ID. c. Mott was APP
pointed to look after the matter and
call another meeting when necessary.
The advantages of an east and west
line over north and south line was
pointed ont and the chances of the
through electric line from Des Moines
to Council Bluffs by the way Of Guth-
RE Center, Audubon and Harlan was
alluded to. The road, or some east
and west line, will come here sooner
or later, no doubt.

What Theodore Roosevelt, armed
with the power which the Presi-

him, has really done at the lsthmus
of Panama is to seize the territory

1t is an act of force, pure and

TWO WITNESSES HEARD OFFER

Lexington, KY. June 18.-From a staff

$1,000 made to Capt. B. j. Even, to alter
his testimony as to seeing Jett in the
corridor with pistol in hand when Mar
cum was assassinated, the Herald has re-
ceived a sensational dispatch. 1t says:
From a source that is reliable and
authentic it has been learned that the
full details of the offer of $1,000 to Cap
tain Even to perjure himsen, were COM
municated to State Inspector Hines upon
his last visit here, and that he reported
those facts to Governor Beckham last
week. The facts in substance. are THAI
a man went to Captain Even, made him
the proposition to pay him the sum
stated if he would either leave the county
or would swear on the witness stand that
he did not. recognize the assassin of
Marcum. Captain EVEN told him that he
would have TO think the matter over.
and made an appointment for the man TO
come to his house, and told him to bring
the money. He called upon three of his
friends and told them of the offer. Ar
rangements were made that when the
emissary returned everything he said or
did could be heard and seen by two men.
That there might be sufficient number
familiar with the fact. two other men
were selected to conceal themselves to
overhear the conversation when the

appointed hour and brought with him five

tain Even refused it, and told the man
to take the money back, and that he
could not use it. Upon his REFUSAL the

he would find that he would be burned

Suburban Handicap Won by Africauder Who
Finished in Splendid Field of Fifteen
(By the Associated Press. }


New York, June 1S.-For the first time
in the score of years of it's history, the
Suburban Handicap, greatest of American
turf events. was won by three-year-old
today. Africander, swift and game son Of
Starr Ruby fric Queen, finished IN a
splendid field of fifteen, to thirteen OF
which he was giving weight. His VIC
tory was married by a claim of foul made
by Odom, rider OF Herbert, the second
horse. but the judges decided that the
winner had earned MS prize and let the
race stand as run. Charles Dwyer and
Simeon Deimel, proprietors of the Hamp-
ton stable, in whose colors AfrIcander ran,
won $1,000 in the stake, and made gen
erous present to Little Fuller, the New
Orleans graduate jockey who plotted their
borse to Il stirring victory. They mad
also backed the horse at 100 to l IN the
winter betting, driving his odds to so to /.
Thirty thousand persons saw the race,
and few bet on the winner. Shrleks for

and cries of encouragement greeted Odom
when he mounted the stairs of the judges

Fuller meanwhile was enjoying the first
fruits OF his victory, and seated in the
floral horseshoe, was being borne across
the lawn. He paled bit when suddenly
summoned from that height of jockey
pride to face the judges but set forth
his case well and Odoms claim was not
allowed. Five minutes of intense anxiety
in which even the women we're quiet,
passed before the red board went up.

Hermis, carrying 1913 pounds. went to
the front, passing the stand, lapped by
Articulate, Luxcasta and Africander. The
Dwyer horse was lucky at the first turn.
There the rear of the field swung wide
and Hunter Raine, whose splendid race
was feature Of the contest, was carried
over almost to the paddock gate. He
was last by two lengths as they straight
ened out in the back stretch.
Afrcander became a most dangerous
factor when three quarters mark was
passed. The heavy impost, swift pace and
the deep mud told on Hermis here and
he began@to fall back Africander headed
him and Herbert, too, dashed past Mr..
Thomas $50, 900 horse. Heno was in the
middle of the field while Major Danger

Herbert spung away from the firing Her.

the race was plainly between the two.
Little Odom took Herbert wide into the
stretch for the better going near the outer
rail To the establishment of onlookers
Fuller cut across with Africander to the
outside also and the two horses bumped
together. Herbert on the outside and
almost against the outer rail sixteenth
of a mile from home. There arose cries
for Good! good Old Herbert" so many
times a contestant in great handicaps.
Gaining surely were the blue and white
squares as they neared the finish Fuller
had not called on Africander for his last
effort, however. When he did bring down
his whip the response was instant. The
sturdy threeyear- old leaped forward,
swerving for stride in front of Herbert
and then ran straight and true to the
wire, winning by head.
