McChesney Has Proven a Great
Wage Garner.
The Big Horse Made $780, 900
Clear This Season.
COST SMATHERS $780, 900
Of Course His Owner Has
Backed Him Heavily.
Bet $25, 900 on Results of Twin
City Handicap.

New York, Sept. 10.-Figured as an
investment the fleet McChesney is a
prot asset for E. E Smathers. AS
nearly as can be figured out from re-
ports of winnings. which Mr. Smathers
has not denied. the horse has netted
him a profit of over 100000 this year.
Mr.. Smathers paid $4,000 for McChes-
ney, which had shown great winnings
for his former owners. He bet $4,000
in the winter books that McChesney
would win the Montgomery handicap
in the spring McChesney lost. and
stood Mr.. Smathers then $4,000.
Since that time it has all been coming
in. One of the biggest coups ever made
on a race track was ACCOMPLISHED by
Mr.. Smathers when McChesney won
the Harlem handicap. He bet the
boOkmakerS to StandStill, winning
$SS. 900 and the purse.
Since bringing the horse east Mr..
Smather5 had not bet on him until he
won the Twin City handicap. McChes-
news owner does not deny that he bet
$4,000 and got an average of 2 to for
his monsA-
This brings the total of his winnings
for this season up to $14e, 500. Against
and the amount lost at Memphis, leav-
ing credit balance of $109, 500.
OF course, McChesney is an expensive
horse to keep. but his expenses figure
in with the expenses of the state. 1t
would probably cost Mr.. Smathers as
much to maintain his string if he did
not have McChesnex.

Two of the Ranchers Under
Arrest at Atwood.
STOLE FROM DEWEYS.
Claimed That Eleven Head OF
Cattle We're Taken.
The Rockefeller Brand Was
Changed to "BB."
The Prisoners Apprehended in
Tents in Colorado.

Colby. Kan. Sept. 10.-J. F. Price.
deputy sheriff of Atwood, Rawlins
county, passed through Colby Wednes-
day en- route to Atwood with Beach D.
Berry and w. Roy Berry, who are
charged with the theft of eleven head of
steers from the Rockefeller ranch in
Rawlins county The theft is alleged
to have taken place in November 1902.
The Berrys are the survivors of the
Berry family. three members of which
were recently killed by the Dewey
ranchers. Roy. one of the prisoners,
still carries his face bound up to cover
the wound inflicted in the Dewey Berry
battle. The Berrys will be taken to
Atwood, where their preliminary will be
held probably at once.
The Berrys were apprehended near
Burlington, Colo, where they had pitch
ed tents and were living with their
families. They said that they expect
ed to take government land in that To-
cality and start a ranch 1t is said that
the Rockefeller brand "CS" on the
stolen steers was changed on each ami
NAL to BIB" The cattle are still on
the Kramer ranch in this county to
whom. it is said, the Berrys sold them,
and it is stated that the marks of the
old brand are easily discernible. 1t is
asserted that the cattle were delivered
to Kramer in the night.

SHIFTING SANDS OF PERU.
They Always Awaken the Interest of
the Foreign Traveller.

Ernest c. Rost tells of the curious trav-
cling sand crescents of Peru which move
across the desert. After passing another
town of three four mud hutS we enter
the famous desert of Islay, on which are
what 1 consider the most remarkable nat
ural curiosities to be seen on this globe -
says Mr.. Rost, for we are now among
sand crescents. on a plateau of $500 feet
above the level of the sea and ffty-four
miles from the cost, where all else is of
dark red or chocolate color. Whence
comes this sand and why always in a
crescent shape? Prof. Bailey, whom
afterward met at Arequpa in charge of
the Harvard university observatory, told
me that scientific men do not agree to
the reason why the sand always forms the
same crescent shape, although it is gen.
orally believed that the whirling eddies
hereabouts are responsible. Some, how
ever, argue that such is not the case,
since each one of these crescents has an
opening toward the northeast
AT any rate, inner circle is an almost
perpendicular wall of the finest pure white
sand, and from the upper edges the cres-
cents slope gradually away on the outside.
They average about twenty feet in height,
the inner circle having diameter of some
fifty feet. although / have seen one at
least a mile and half in diameter, which
was however, not much higher than tae
mated at the rate of three inches every
tewnty-four hours. and when on the slow
journey one comes near the railroad. 1t
becomes necessary TO shovel the sand
across the tracks, after which it travels
on forming new crescents or mingling
with some of the others-"-Harper's Mag

Corbett Declares Former Champion
Cannot Make Weight for Gardner.

ST Louis, Sept. 1O.-Jim Corbett, him
self an ex-champion. who says he knows
what he is talking about, is of the opin-
ion that the other ex-champion, Bob
Fitzsimmons, will never get into a ring
with George Gardner to fight for the
light heavyweight championship. Cor
bett says that all of Gardeners we'll
meant efforts to secure meeting withthe
New Yorker will come to naught, as
Fitzsimmons is merely talking for ad-
verrising purposes and is not serious
when he says he will make the middle
weight limit.
There will be nothing but talk about
a match Corbett said in discussing the
proposed meeting that Gardner is trying
so hard to arrange. "F'itzsimmons is to-
day close to the 200-pound mark and
is too big to ever hope to make 165

WHEN ONES NERVE FAILS.
Emergencies in Which Mems Self.
Possession Deserts Them.

1t is a curious thing, and one that
remains a standing puzzle even to those
connected with the business all their
daring performers who chiefly work in
the open air at galas and so on are far
more liable to sudden nerve failure and
to stage fright, if it may be so called,
than are their fellows who only show
their prowess under a roof.
Another fact equally we'll known is
that once woman performer has heard
the ringing shouts of an applauding
public, once she has learned some dan
gerous feat, she will run risks and quite
fearlessly perform tricks that no male in
the same line would ever dream of. The
woman athlete has not to be urged on;
she has to be restrained. more often
than not. 1t may be said at once that
few among the public know how near
death such people occasionally are.
AS illustrating both the facts stated
above, the writer can never forget see
ing a woman tightrope walker whose
rope had been left too slack She was
performing at a great height. and when
she got to a certain distance along the
rope the latter sagged so that she could
neither advance nor retire. The public
knew nothing of the danger until the
manager in an agony tried to get two
immense ladders, tied together, up to
the rope But this arrangement fell
short, and even if it had not done so no
one would have dared to rest it against
the swaying rope. At last the ladders
were held bodily upright by strong men
till the topmost rung just touched the
rope, then a gallant young fellow, sail
or, went up. while the ladder swayed
about as though in breeze. He snatch
ed the woman on the rope and held her.

totally destroyed by fire, the loss on
building and contents being estimated

rain which had been falling since early
in the evening saved the Toler auditor
ium and a wholesale lumber yard, which
stood nearby, from being consumed by
the flames.
