5000 ON A
HORSE RACE
Bets Made Today BY Da>e e
StauntOn With |. v. Button
and "Shorty' Johnson

There will be a big free doins at
he old race track across the river on
the 10th of next month-a touch of
sporting life that will make the Old
grow young again and recall the good
old days when whiskey and grub were
paid for in gold nuggets or dust"
and the boys didn't have time to wait
for their change,
1t all came about through a discus
sion between a lot of horse men and
racing experts of the record-breaking
races that have been run on eastern
tracks within the last few days. Dave
Staunton and l. V. Button were doing
the discussing; that is Dave was max
ing the talk, and Mr.. Button got IN
a word edgeways when he could.

the opportunity to make the statement

nom de plume of scorpion" that
could poke his nose under the wire
st a little bit ahead of anything in
this neck O. the woods that couldn't
do better than a mile in two minutes.
Dave gasped He couldn't beieve
is ears. and he asked Mr.. Button II
he meant to insinuate that his pack
of bones could get clear around the
mile in two minutes. That was just
what the veteran horseman meant,
and he said so; then, to make it more
c ear he offered to bet $500 that "Scor-
pion," in a race against time, on the
track near town, could and would run
a mile in two minutes or better Dave
took the bet, and the men deposited
$40 each with a mutual friend to bind
the bet, and agreed that the balance
of the money should be deposited with
the same party before the race, and
that the trial be held on the 10th day
! of October next, regardless of weather
conditions.
Dave then laid a side bet with
Shorty" Johnson on the same event,
to the amount of S100, the agreement
being the same as in the principal
bet. The wager caused considerab e
comment and discussion and il is a
cineh that the spots will be at re
track in a body. There is some talk
o. arranging other races TO be run
at the same time--not a half-bad idea

be received today. The outcome Of
