ing the First Week.
PURSES UP TO s12,17O.
cold ReIiable'' BulIman Heads
the Jockey List.
Fuller, the New Orleans Star,
Has Second Place.

Memphis, Tenn, April 8.-During the
first week of the Memphis meeting John
W. Schorr led the winning owners, with
$12,17O, which is 1882 more than one
half of the entire amount distributed
in stakes and purses. Such success
(some people call it luck and others
designate it as fortune) is unusual if
not phenomenal, but it is due purely to
the ownership of well bred, well trained
and well ridden horses. There has been
no connivance by which these shekels
have been accumulated. The success is
deserving and perchance timely. The
three stakes decided last week-the
Montgomery Handicap, the CASTOR
Hotel and the ArdeIle-all went to
Schorr, as did the majority of the two
year-old purse events. Horses from his
barn started in sixteen races and won
eleven first moneys and six second
moneys-Walterin and Mordella. running
first and second in the ArdeIle Stakes.
His coIors were never farther back than
second, Benefcent and Bensonhurst be-
mig beaten twice each and RightfuI
once.
Rightfuls defeat Saturday was due
to the rider. The little boy Reed was
not equal to the task of keeping such
a heavy headed horse straight and on
his stride against so fleet an animal as
Thane, with a boy like Fuller as pilot
This horse will run a decidedly different

English Champion Will Be Secured

Chicago. April s-"Ren Jordan,
champion of England, viii probably be
the next opponent of Young Corbett.
and the fight viii be decided in san
Francisco in the same ring in which
COrbett demonstrated a few nights ago
that he is Terry McGovern's master. :"
Such was the statement made last
night by Harry Tuthill, trainer of
Young Corbett. TuthiH came to Chi
cago with the Terry McGovern party
which arrived in the afternoon on the
overland limited. Tuthiu merely
travelled with the McCovern party by
accident, as he is hurrying east to fill
some important business engagements
he has. Tuthill had some interesting
things to say about the recent unpleas-
antness on the coast In talking about
the probability of match between the
English champion and the American he
said
''The club management does not think
there will be much trouble in inducing
Jordan to come to this country for a
chance with Corbett- He will be offer
ed such strong inducements that l do
not see how he can refuse to accept.
the Corbett- McGovern contest reached
$21, 900 and when he is told what the
winner and loser got out of this l
guess his eyes will pop open pretty
wide.
IF the fight takes place it will be de-
cided either just before or Immediately
after the Jeffries and Corbett contest,
which is set for the latter part of July
The weight, of course. will have to be
left to a conference, but I do not think
there will be any hitch"

I.eavenworth, Kan, April s.-While
engaged in tearing down an old brick
building formerly used as quarters for
officers. Wash" Brown and his son
had a narrow escape from serious
and perhaps fatal injuries. They were
knocking mortar from brick that had
been taken from the building when,
without warning. a heavy partition fell
and caught them beneath 1T. Two
wheelbarrows were beneath the parti-
tion when it fell and it was the wheel
barrows which saved them from being
seriously hurt for if the partition had
fallen to the ground it would have
crushed both men. When the men were
hurt Mrs. Hyde. wife of Lieutenant
Hyde. sent word TO the hospital that
two men were injured and needed medi-
cal attention. Colonel Hoff detailed
Acting Steward Atkin and four men to
take a litter and learn the extent of

cuts were all right.
Young Brown had a large lump and

Lexington. Ky. April S.-The fact
that DR.. J. d. Meet of Kindergarten

privately to John E. Madden has occa-
stoned great deal of gossip in turf cir
cles here, since horsemen were of the
opinion tHat under the hammer this

bly, have brought more money than any
yearling ever sold in this country. The
value of Maddens new purchase is en-
HANGED by the fact that his sire, imp.
Topgallant, is dead and three of the
products of his dam, namely, Hastings
Plaudit and Handsome, are all in the
stud.
Should this son of imp. Topgallant
never win a race he would still have a
market value out of the ordinary on ac-
count of his relationship with these dis
tinguished turf stars. DR.. Meet has
made more money out of this remark

an ordinary stud. It is estimated that
DR.. Meet made from the sale of her
produce and the leasing of the mare
herself to w. c. Whitney last year close
to 800 900 on her.

in quandary to know where they are
at" in the surveyors records In 1887
Mat Brown, the county surveyor. ran a
line into Allen in order to find gov
eminent corner stone. He failed to find
the desired stone but found that the
main street was % feet off center. He
placed his stakes and the people have
been wondering ever since if some time
their Main street would have to be
moved over % feet to conform to the
records. County Surveyor Smith was
called up there to straighten things out
The early settlers told Mr. Smith that
40 feet south of the center of Main
street there was a government stone
which was placed there before the town
of Allen was. With little trouble Mr.
Smith found the stone under the soil
and from it made surveys SO accurate
that he located the original government
stones to Main street. BY a little dig
ging the stones which the town COM
pany have been hunting for the last 10
years were found and that put Allen
right side up again.

VETERAN OF oR1mEAN WAR.
Olaf Hawkinson, of Johnstown, Has
an Unusual War Record.

an Unusual War Record.
Olaf Hawkinson, a Swedish farmer
who lives near Johnstown, has rare
record as a veteran. In fact there are
few who can rank with him. He was
in the great Crimean war of 1851.
During the progress of that war he
was part of the time a sailor on an Eng
lish transport and was at the scene of
the famous battle of Balaklava where
the historic light brigade had their in
ming and also their outing. He was at
this place soon after the battle and says
that although forty-nine years have
elapsed since it was fought, the mem
DRY of the awful devastation and suffer
ing is still firmly impressed on his mind
and can never be effaced. He served
his time in that war and came to
America and settled in California. Later
he came to Knasas. This was thirty
one years ago. Since that time Mr..
Hawkinson has lived the quiet life of a
farmer. He seldom mentions his expert
ence, is modest and unassuming
although he has seen more of life all
over the world than three-fourths of the
men you meet He can talk fuently in
Swedish. German and English. It is
very doubtful if there is another vet
eran of that war in the state Mr..
Hawkinson is now over seventy years
Of age but Is still healthy and vigorous
in mind and body.
The same herOism which carried him
safely and honorably through the
clear gray eyes and is betrayed in his
determined manner which always char
acterizes a. fearless nature.-McPherson
