son and his employee, William
LAmour, commonly known as 'sYel-
low Niger, Bill. Wilson is well
known as a turfman in this locality
and was for a time the chief trainer
Of the Elk Valley stables of this city.
Yellow Niger Bill was employed
BY Wilson as an assistant.
The occurrence, as exclusively
stated in the Telegram at the time
Of its happening, for which Wilson
and his accomplice were ruled off
the tracks were as follows:
During the October light harness
meeting in last October, Wilson en-
tered Ruby Electric, a PAGER, with
a mark Of 2:15 IA in a 2:35 pac-
ing race. This is what is technical
" termed ringing a horse, and
is considered grave offense in rae.

Wilson, posing as owner, with
ssYellow Niger" Bill as driver, en-
tered the horse in the race and won
the event and the stakes easily. He
took his departure at once and it
was not until after he had made his
sget away that his duplicity was
discovered. AS a result of the
knayery Of Wilson and his confrere.
the step taken by the association as
noted above was taken. All tracks
are now closed to this precious pair

BY ALL
JUSTICES

Charles Henderson was acquitted
the third time Saturday afternoon
of the charge Of forgery.
Some time ago he sold horse to
Frank and Jennie Sheldon and a
contract was entered into about the
payment of the price and other de-
tails Of the sale. The Sheldons were
to pay for the horse al a specified
time and in the meantime board was
not to be charged by them for the
horse. Later Henderson was noti-
fed that the Shcldons expected him
to pay for the horses keep. This
was regarded breaking of the con-
tract and Henderson sued for SIS in
Justice S. W. Gordon's court and
then Sheldon had HENDERSON arrest
ed on the charge of forging Mrs.
Sheldon's name to a CONTRACT but
Justice NJ. s. Riley acquitted him.
Shortly after that Sheldon got an
other warrant from Justice Riley
and Henderson was again arrested.
The hearing was turned over to jus
tice James N. David. who also dis
missed the second warrant Saturday
afternoon after hearing the evidence,
thus making the second time he was
acquitted on the forgery charge SO
far as warrants were concerned.
Also in Justice S. W. Gordon's
court a few days ago in the suit the
charge of forgery was made in the
trial Of tho SIS dollar suit, but JUS
tee Gordon gave Judgment against
Sheldon, thus making three times
in Ill Henderson has been acquitted
of forgery.
During the trial of the case before
Justice David two witnesses i'm
peached Sheldon and another said
his reputation for truth and veracity
was bad.
