Empire Club Offers Some Big Stakes
This Season.

New York, March s-By giving 5000
purses for best two-in-three races, the EN-
pre- city Trotting club, New FORK, is
practically offering $4,000 in purses, fig
Ired from the old plan. Statistics show that
money won under the old three-and-five
system is only secured after a number OF
heats that makes the Empire plan only
half the effort. Another good point about
the stakes for the Yonkers track IS the
fact that horses which are being saved up
for the SIS, 900 and $20.0 900 races can be read
lily started in the short events without
Iessening their chances in larger stakes.
The 2:09 class trotting is certain TO be
popular race this year. and of course the
Pip class is the class for which the great
est amount of money is offered on the cir
cult. The 5000 Empire stake was popu-
lar event last year. and from the number
of PAGERS eligible to the 2.lo class, pacing,
the Bronx stakes should receive plenty Of
attention AS the Empire meeting pre-
cedes the Brighton and the Hartford meets
both of which have 3-year-old futurities.
the idea of a 2.25 class trOtting for 3-year-
oIds with a 5000 purse is good one En-

speedily as was desired, and was struck
and knocked down with the pistol. The
robbers then took his money, about $50,
and started down the street He recov-
cred sufficiently to appreciate his posi-
ton and turned back with the intention
Of calling the officers. The men saw him
and, divining his intention, drew down
on him with their guns and commanded
that he Immediately trot home. Know
ing from experience that the men were
no jokers, he obeyed.
A boy named Bracket was near
Varco when he was held up, but he was
so frightened that he failed to get the
alarm to the police until the robbers had
made their escape. There is no clue.
The w. J. Allen & Co. drug store was
robbed Saturday night. Entrance was
made through a rear window. Only a
few dollars were secured from the regis

CYCLONE VISITS HYArTv1L1E.
Injuries Several People and Does
Much Damage to Property.

Fort Scott kas., March "A destruc-
tive tornado visited Hiattville, a small
town about ten miles south of here
Saturday, and did much damage. The
house OF a family named AIasslin was
struck while the members OF the family
were in bed. and lifting the house up,
carried it a distance of about half a
mile and across a pond, letting it down
on the other side The house was en-
tirely wrecked and the members of the
family were badly bruised up. The man
was so badly injured that he may not
live. His legs We're broken and he is
other wise badly hurt. One of the older
girls was severely cut in the side by the
flying timbers and is in a dangerous
condition.
Nearly all of the houses were more or
less shaken up by the storm and the
majority of the small buildings were
torn down by the tornado. The pole of
a fence was blown through a barn and
the horses and cattle killed are numer-
Gus. Outside OF the Masslin family sew
eral others were blown out of their
houses, but are only slightly injured.
One of the funny freaks of the storm
was that it blew the spokes out of a
wagon wheel, but the damage done to
the wagon itself was slight The cyclone
lasted about one hour and was followed
by one of the hardest rains that has
visited this part of the country for
twelve years All of the streams are

that Hoxie was in Fort Morgan living
