QUEER WAGERS

Reginald Vanderbilt's reputed loss
of $500. 900 or more at Richard Can
fields New York gambling house is
probably the most notorious piece of
gambling of the century. There have
been many celebrated cases OF gamb-
ling and betting in the past and a
SPORTSMAN pointed out few OF them
recently.
"a famous bet," he said, was one
that Walter Raleigh won from Queen
Elizabeth. He bet that he could COM
pute how much smoke there was in
a pound Of tobacco. To makethe COM
putation he smoked pound of to-
bacco, saving all the ashes, which he
weiehe d at the emo, and the differ
ence in weight between the ashes and
the original pound OF tobacco-eight
or nine ounces it was-represented,
Raleigh said, the smoke. Elizabeth
agreed with him and paid the bet.
"The noted English family of the
Hotties has for its badge a bloody
hand, and this sinister badge COM
memoratesa wager that ended crime
Sir Thomas Hottie, one day in 1912
was hunting. He invited his COM
rades home with him to dinner, and
as he rode along he made heavy bet
on his cook s prnctuality. But the
cook failed him for once. When he
got home dinner was not ready. The
ieers of his companions at his failure
together with his huge loss in the
matter of the wager enraged him so
that he ran,.into the kitchen, seized
cleaver aud split the cooks head open
wi h it. AiteIwald his family, TO
keep this crime alive, adopted for its
crest, the bloody hand Of the cook
killer.
''Sir John Falkinton, courier OF
Queen Elizabeth, was a reckless lay
err of wagers. He once bet $4,000
that he would swim the Thames from
the bridge at Westminster to the
bridge at Greenwich, faster than three
relays of young noblemen. Sir John
won this bet. The RELAYS Of noble
men, though they swan hard, were
badly beaten. The,Queen was present
at the lace, and to the loosers she
gave by way of consolation prize.

Fight With Prisoners.

Sheriff Davis, of Moody county, as
the result of a little adventure with two
prisoners who were attempting to
escape from the county Jail, proved
himself a pugllist of no mean ability.
Two white toughs who were occupants
of the Jail provoked a fight with a
colored prisoner, who was seriously
injured by his two a~ssalants. The
sheriff was notified of the disturbance
and hastily ran to the Jail. No sooner
had he opened the outer door to the
cells when the two desperadoes des-
perately attacked him in an effort to
escape. The assault was unexpected,
but nevertheless the sheriff stood his
ground, regardless of the fact that it
was himself against two burly ruffans.
For a time the air was filed with fists
aud arms, bat Sheriff Davis emerged
from the fight as the victor, having sue
ceeded in knocking both men out in the
first round. One of the defeated row.
dies was heard TO remark, after the
the fight was over, that when he again
needed a little physical exercise he
would tackle a trained pugilist in pre-
ference to the sheriff of Moody county

FRESH TROOPS ARRIVING.
Reason for Long Delay In the Japa-
nese Advance on Mukden.

"SeS ~
st. Petersburg. Sept. 27.-The cause
of the extreme elaboration In the
japanese advance on Mukden IL ex-
planned by a dispatch received from
General K%uropatkin, which indicates
that Field Marshal Oyama has not yet
concentrated his forces. Fresh troops
are constantly arriving at Bentsia-
putze, while others which recently
reached Iiaoyang are marching up the
Taitse river to Sianchan. These rein
forcements presumably come from
Japan. AS soon as the fourth Japan
csc army at Sianchan is sufficiently
strong, 1t Is now evident, the japanese
intend to resort to their favorite flank
ing tactics, move a formidable array
against Kuropatkin's left and compel
the evacuation Of Sintsintin. They are
evidently accommodating the ground
owe which the S%ianchan army will
march up and cross the river. Mean
while General kuroki is trying to
seize and cross the Hun river far east
OF Mukden. Thence he will nov down
the river and cooperate with the
fourth army from Sianchan, while
Generals Oku and Nodzu engage Ku'
ropatkin's attention south of Mukden
The attacks on Da pass and Sanlungku
Sept. 20 were the first symptoms oil
this vast thanking movement.

Memorial Meuseurn.

''The State Historical Society at the
state House in Pierre, has set apart a
room for a Memorial Meseum TO the
First South Dakota Volunteer Infantry,
and is now working TO Genre suitable
relics to place therein. The officers of
the society feel that every soldier of the
First" should contribute at least one,
if not more, relics TO this meseum,
where they will be kept on exhibit as
his personal donation. Furthermore
the society should have in this room, in
a suitable case, the photographs of all
the members of our state regiment.
The society now has the regimental
flags and several relics, together with
fourteen of Hobson's enlarged pictures
of the regiment. Now, and not fifty
years hence, is the time to collect these
things and place them where they will
be preserved and go go down in the
history of our young state to its honor,
as well as TO the honor and glory of the
contributors. The society has sent ont
cards requesting donations 10 this
Museum and if any boys of the First
do not receive such a request they may
rest assured il is because the society
DOES not have their present address, and
it Is to be hoped that they will respond
to this public notice as though they had
received a personal letter. With every
one doing a little there is no possible
excuse for this state not having the best
exhibit of this nature in the Union.
Let everybody help and let us build up
a memorial to the First of which we
will always be proud. Do it now"
