THE GIRL HORSETHIEF.
Sketch of the Girl Who Has Been Sent
to the Pen for Two Years.

~ hilC iOi wv val %
Myrtle Upton, the girl horsethief,
who was sentenced at Colfax, Wash,
to serve two years in the state peniten-
tiary, although only IS years old, has
most remarkable history. She says:
Il never did any homework and
don't know how. From the time l
was old enough to do any work l help
ed on the farm, driving horses and
doing the work of a boy. l never
cooked a meal in my life and know
lots more about horses, plows and
farm work than about dishes, cooking
and work about the house.

Washington's Wheat Crop.

There is nothing in the latest re-
ports received at the department of
agriculture which tends to diminish
the midsummer prospect that the 1905
wheat crop of the state of Washing
ton will be from 100000 to 95,OOO,-
600 bushels, states a Washington, d.
c., report. The October estimate of
spring wheat in the state gives the
yield per acre at 22.5 bushels, which is
about four bushels to the acre larger
than the estimated yield of 1904. These
figures, although official, are prelim-
mary in character, and are subject
to revision next December after a
more careful examination of the har-
vest has been made.

SUIT CASE TRAGEDY.
Head of Susan Geary, Supposed Vic
tim, Found in Bay.


Boston, Nov. What is confidently
believed to be the head of Susan A.
Geary, the dress suit case victim, was
recovered in a leather handbag from
the bottom of the harDor. 1t was
dragged to the surface very near the
point where Lewis w. Crawford and
WiIiiam Howard, who have confessed
to disposing of the dismembered body
of the girl, said they dropped it from
the stern of an East Boston ferry boat.
The head completes the body of the
girl. The trunk was found on Sep
TENDER 1, and the limbs were picked
up October Z. The leather bag in
which the head had been placed, to-
gether with 80 pounds of loose shot
did not move, apparently, from the
place where it sank.
Morris Nathan, the lover of Miss
Geary, will be arraigned in court on a
charge of abortion.
Dr. II. d. Mcleod, who was arrested
in the Back Bay district Friday for
alleged completely in the case, left
town today for a few days. He is
under bond of $4,000.

NO DATES ASSIGNED
TO MORRIS PARK
Aqueduct Will Not Be Opened to
the Public This
Summer

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Assignment of
dates by the Jockey club to local tracks
just announced includes no time for
Morris Park, and 1t is understood that
an arrangement has been reached over
that part of the local racing situation
which has been bothering eastern turf
men for some time. Some time ago it
was reported that Aqueduct track
would be sold to a syndicate and its
dates transferred to Norris Park,
where it had been expected last season
there would be no more racing and
that time would thus be made open for
the new Belmont track on Long Island.
However, dates have now been as
signed for Aqueduct and for the West
chester Racing association, which wiz
control the new track. and no time has
been given Morris Park. No official
explanation has been given. but it is
understood on good authority that the
club controlling Morris Park has as
signed it's lease to some of the others,
who will pay $4,000 year, and close
its gates.

won the second race on the card by

got UP in plenty of time. The colt fin
ished on the outside, where the judges
inadvertently overlooked him, and to
all appearances got the verdict by half
q length at least.
An ordinary card and poor weather
attracted a slim crowd to the races
yesterday. The grand stand was de-
serted and the betting ring had only
the regulars to take chance with the
bookmakers.
The afternoons sport opened with
free handicap steeplechase and had six
starters. Cazador. receding from to
/ to 5 to /, was skillfully reserved for
the stretch run, then closed upon Boze-
man nearing the last jump and in the
last sixteenth outstayed Decimo. who
on the end made up ground but seemed
to labor under the heavy impost. Flea

of the stretch, but when the real racing
began died away to nothing. Flea can
not pack weight and was lucky to be

stretch he was challenged by Gene
Handlon, who raced him stride for
stride to the paddock. The latter died
away on the end and looked to be
hopelessly beaten for even the short
end of the purse. Brookdale was right
there all the way and finished with a
rush on the outside. To all appear

get the verdict, but the judges over

Gondolus. Kitty Roark was placed

Jockey Hughes, who rode Decimo,

race yesterday.
Suave, on the strength of a hot pad
dock tip, was heavily backed by the
wise money, but the horse ran out at

ing for early action.
There were a number of supposed
good things in the second race, but
the hackers of Gondulus were re-
warded after having little hearts
ease" as Gene Handlon pressed him
hard at the finish.
The finish of the second caused con-
siderable dissatisfaction. TO all ap-
pearances Brookdale reached the wire
half length in front of the rest OF
the field. Brookdale finishing with a
rush on the extreme outside, was in
advertently overlooked by the officials.
Gene Handlon, I'm on the rail, was
dying in the heavy going and to all
appearances could not have been bet
ter than fourth. Brookdale was backed
from 8 TO 4 to 1, and considerable
money was burnt up by the questiona-

Vindicta was played heavily by the
railbirds on account of her fast work.
She had no chance with the start.
This one is worth remembering, as
she beat Escalante in her workout.

called the dean of Los Angeles re-

in all America. He has resided over
fifty-two years in the Pacific states,

farms of England and France in that

necessary to the compilation of such

has evidently made a mistake, as it
treats of all the greater horses of
England. France, Hungary and Aus

works are. Nevertheless. the book
shows a great deal of study in its
compilation. and, as he has been we'll
known as a turf writer all over the

his book ought to meet with ready
sale. No man can read it without be-
ing satisfied that its author is a
student by nature.
