THE JUNE RACE MEET.
Good Weather Prevails and Those in
Attendance Saw Some Fine Races.

The June Race Meet at the fair
grounds last week Tuesday. Wednes-
day and Thursday was a success in
every way except the size of the
quent outcome, although the final
footings will be not far from even, in
view of the conservative management
of the officers. AS stated in our last
issue Tuesday opened with a clouded
sky and a muddy track, and the crowd
was very small, but OIL Wednesday
there were about thousand people
present, while on Thursday the crow d
dwindled down to a considerable ex-
tent. The races taken altogether were
as fine an exhibition of the kind as
one ever sees, and for the most part
at least, they appeared to be ''on the
square. - The free for all pace on
Wednesday was close contest between
Baby Kid and Little Souaw, while
Ardell Simmons and Fossie o. also

place The 20 trot was won easily
by Robert Nc, with Shady Beattie
second, Van Hart third and Ira S.
fourth, Fonseca heing distanced
The running race had six starters, and
was exciting, Lenox winning out
There were only two starters in the
2 10 trot Thursday, Meta Arthur TAX
ing the first two heats, and G.. W. the
last three and first money, all in slow
time. The 2 80 pace was a race from
start to finish. There were five
starters and they all seemed TO be out
for the money. Al the end of the fifth
heat the race was called, according to
the rule of the circuit, first place be-
ing gwen to Fremont S, second to Pat
Hail, and third to Taffeta Silk. The
best time made was 25s4
Taken altogether, the races were
good and the meet a success. 1t is to
be hoped that those in charge will at
least not be az loss, for they have
worked hard to make it success.

DROWNED IN THE RIVER
JUMPS TO DEATH FROM SPRING.BOARD
Leo HOhe, Chicago Stone Cutter Who
Has Been Working on the Court
House Stone, Meets an I'm.
timely Death.

Circus day proved unlucky for
Mr.. Leo Hohe, stone cutter from
Chicago who has been here for some
little time cutting stone at the Mil
waukee yards for the new court house.
He and two of his associates quit work
at noon and after dinner went down
to the show grounds expecting TO at
tend the circus, when one of them sug-
gested that they go across to the river
and take swim before going to the
show. They went to the river just
few rods above the dam, where there
is spring board, and the water is
quite deep in some places Here they
removed their clothing and dived from
the spring board into the river, Mr..
Hohe being the second one to jump
One of them made for an island direct
ly across and another down stream,
with Mr.. Hohe between. The one
who went down stream says he turned
and saw Mr.. Hohe with his head
above the water smiling, and that
was the last either of them saw of
him. The two came TO shore soon,
and asked each other the question,
| "where is Hohe?' each thinking that
! the other had been with HIM. Not
seeing him they supposed he had gone
up among the high weeds on the island
or in the water on the other side, and
after waiting a while for him to re-
search for him. Up to this writing
! his body has not been found The
supposition is that he was either
taken with cramps or else got en-
tangled in barb wire, trees or other
debris in the water and could not eX-
tricate himself. They dived and
waded the river for an hour or so in
vain attempt to find his body and
then reported the matter to the police,
who have since been dragging the
river, but have been unable to locat tie
him
In his clothes on the bank was
found letter which he had received
that noon from his mother in Chicago,
and it is said that he has two brothers
at Eau Claire, Wis. He was about
thirty-fve years old and unmarried.
Little else is known about him, save
that those who have known him since
he came here state that he was kind
hearted, Industrious and apparently
honest and upright man. His sad, un-
timely death ELECTS the sympathy of
all for the bereaved mother and
brothers.
| Later-Since the above was put in
type the body of Mr.. Hohe has been
found. About five O'Clock last even
ing the party which was dragging the
river located him about half way be-
tween the place where he jumped in
and the dam, and he was lifted out and
taken to the undertaking rooms of f.
@. Sobek Co. where he will remain
until the relatives arrive, who are ex-
pected tod y. 1t is practically certain
that he was taken with cramps, as his
arms and limbs were badly cramped
when he was found

The Aberdeen Democrat. (Aberdeen, South Dakota) 1???-1909, 1903-01-16
wit OF Horne Tooke.

It is said that Horne Tooke, who
excelled in that duel-like controversy
exhibited by two disputants when
pitted against each other with only
the breadth of o mahogany board be-
tween them, was exceedingly quick
and sharp at retort. When he made
his most deadly thrusts, says the
Saturday Evening Post, it was with
a smiling co%untenance, and withou.
seeming effort of emotion.
Replying to a man who contended
that only land owners should be al
lowed to vote at elections, he said:
pray tell me how many acres
does it take to make a wiseacre? 90
When asked by George III. whether
he ever played cards, he replied: 81
cannot, your majesty, tell a king
from a knave." What can be more
uniquely comic than his saying to
his brother: "You and I, my dear
brother, have inverted the laws Of
nature; you have risen in the world
by your gravity, and I have fallen by
my levity?"
