But Three Starters and a One Horse
Affair all the Way.


Affair all the Way.
Memphis, Tenn, April SIN the renewal
Of the Tennessee Derby, Captain s. S.
Brown practically had the walkoyers pre-
dlcted. he sent to the post Proceeds and
COnJurer and 1t was literally a. gallop for
his representatives Edward Corrigan
yielded to persuasion and his Artillery
colt Samuel was sent to the post to fill
out the Held, preventing a waIlxover and
at the same time having an assurance OF
third money to the stable of the Chicago
turfman- Captain Brown, through Train
er Tucker, declared to win with Proceeds
in order to keep on penalties for Con1urer
and all Proceeds had to do was to galIOp
under raps over the nine furlongS jour
ney of the Derby and win without even
the semblance OF a contest
The best odds quoted against the Brown
entry were to 3O,and many of the players
made no pretense OF doing business. such
prices being beyond even the big players.
Actually there is no story of the race.
Proceeds went away in front and ran
there, with Helgerson keeping a stout
hold. Lyme rode the stable mate, Con-
Jurer. but as his mount was asked to get
nothing better than second money. the
good one OF the pair was not allowed to
extend himself. Samuel was hard ridden
for The first half mile and then his jockey
was content to keep within respectable
distance of the other two. The finish
found the trio close together, but that
there were no cheers, nor floral display
Captain Brown occupied a box in the
grandstand, and even he was not expect
ed to assume a gladstone air when he was
congratulated by the friends who kept
i'm company.

SLOWER RETURNS BOOK.
After Thfrty-Nine Years He Feels That
He Must Send it Home.

Capt. Slower returned a book this
morning to its owner in Bangor, Ne,
which he has had in his possession for
thirty-nine years. It would seem that
in that time he could have committed
# to memory but he says he never
even read it and doesn't know when
he got it or why he borrowed it.
The book is Casey's Tactics. and it
was taken from in front of Peters
burg, Va. in 1865. This morning in
looking over some old papers which
he intended to destroy he came upon
the old volume. In the front of the
book was the name of Roscoe Rollins,
Bangor, Me. The gentleman was ad-
jutant OF Capt. Stover's regiment in
the war, and although he has abso-
lutely no recollection of the book, he
knows the only time he remembers to
have seen it was whe nthe army was
before Richmond. and he thinks it
must have been taken at that time.
He wrote his old conrade that he
regretted the long time he has
searched for the book, and he washed
his hands of any swearing that might
have been done because it could not
be found. But in view of the fact that
long since war hath smoothed her
wrinkled front" and that the Tactics

BANK FAILURE.
Capitol National, of Guthrie,
Closes Its Doors.

Guthrie. Okla, April SC. L. Bill
Kingsley, president of the Capitol Ma
tionaI bank. the largest bank in Okla
homa which has suspended, has made
a statement He says that the deposit
tors will be paid in full and that at
the present time a deal is on to sell the
assets of the institution so that the de-
positors may be paid. When the bank
closed its doors there were in assets
s1,255.OOO with which to pay 1,O83, 900
in deposits.
National Bank Examiner Myron r.
Sturtevant will take charge of the
bank.
The failure was caused by a heavy
drain during the last month and an
unexpected run yesterday morning.
During the last month there was a
shrinkage of deposits amounting to
about five hundred thousand dollars.
when the bank opened its doors yes
terday morning over one hundred
thousand dollars were paid out About
noon it was runored that the bank
was going under and eager depositors
hurried to the bank faster than during
the morning. and the president and di-
rectOrs seeing that, the bank must go
under closed the doors.
The suspension was caused Indirect
ly by the filing of a suit about three
weeks ago against Holdenville Nation
al bank. of which Mr.. Billingsley is
president. and its failure last week.
Although the directors say that the
depositors will be paid in full. the
stockholders Will be heavy losers. and
it is said that Mr.. BiIiugsley who has
been regarded as one of the strongest
financial men of the territory has lost
all. The bank is a national and terri
toriaI depository and many of the
country banks of Oklahoma carry
large deposits with it. There is great
excitement in Guthrie but the other
banks are safe.

New York, April Sat the age of 80,
Samuel Mowery has sacrificed his life at
Washington, N J., to save William Drake
aged S0-frOm burning to death.
Both men lived on the same farm and
We're inseparable. They went into a mead
ow to burn off some dead grass. The
flames were famed by a brisk breeze and
soon Drake, who started the blaze, dis
covered that his clothing was on fire.
He tottered and fell, crying in a trem-
ulOus voice for aid. Mowery FASTENED to
him and tried to beat out the flames with
his cap and bare hands. Too weak to
larry the victim. Mowery managed to roll
him over several times and then fell
sensS1ess, overcome by the smoke and his
own exertions.
No person was within hailing distance
and Mowery persisted in the flames. Mem
bers of the family found both men lying
in the charred rubbish several hours later.
