at last that our old cook must have felt

sisted on hunting for me. The boys
proved to him that it was utterly hope
less; but he wouldn't give up. Admitted
everything, they said, but still demanded
a search. They argued with him, 1t
didn't make any difference. When they
broke camp he stayed behind and went
for the help of some of his own people.
| tell you, the rope he used in the mine
was horribly patched and worn, but it
was all he had and he made it do.
And the way he tended me afterward!
You haven't any idea. Nursed me and
fed me and bathed my wounds, till
hardly had time to sleep. And he smiled
at last the most awful smile, for which |
hope he is forgiven.
Suppose he would have been sticking
to me yet; but one day | struck a rich
pocket and made him take the proceeds,
that is, except what | gave to the other
two 'Changs' He swore he didn't want
it and wouldn't leave me; but | got his
two yellow friends to make him see
reason. Finally he left unwillingly, with
nuggets enough to buy a wife and
business"
Fairfax stopped and kicked branch

slowly, as he watched the smoke and
sparks, you know why l don't want to
go into shaft again, even if it is dead-sure

Big Market Gardens

Judging from the manner in which
the firm of A. p. Nelson & Go. has been
adding to its real estate holdings for
the last twelve months, it is likely to
become one Of the biggest landholders
in the community in the course OF a
few years.
Its vegetable gardens at the foot of
Cameron avenue were enlarged by the
acquisition Of several acres last spring.
and Is now one Of the largest in the
vicinity OF the city, occupying an area
of a little more than ten acres. One
day last week the firm traded for an
eighteen-acre fruit ranch in Garden
Park belonging to W. D. Combs, which
brings its total landed estate up to
something like twenty-eight acres
quite large possession in this country
OF irrigated farms.
On the Garden Park tract is a young
orchard of 1900 fruit trees. 1900 of
which are apple trees Of the Jonathan
variety.

Captures Futurity at SIleepshead Bay
Worth $50, 200.

New York, Aug. 28.--Ormonda1e, a real
blue blood of the turf, descendant of a
llne OF aTistocratic ancestors extending
back nearly century and a half to that
greatest OF race-horses. Eclipse, in 1864,
won the eighteenth running of the Fu-
turity stakes for>2 year olds at Sleeps
head Bay Saturday afternoon.
FaV5rite in the betting at 5 to /, with
just a shade of the odds in his favor
over Flip Flap. Ormondale, perfectly
ridden by Redfern, won with half a
length to spare. The time was fast,
III 4-5, equaling the mark of the FLY
Artful In the Futufity renewal of last
year. Timber, carrying the colors OF
Harry Payne Whitney, was whipped in
to second place by Hildebrand. while
Belmere of the BurIew entry ran third
under a hard drive by Buchanan.
The winner ran in the name and colors
of the Orlnondale stable, racing part
nership composed of w. OBJ. Mcdonald
the wealthy Californian, and Andrew
Miller of New York, one OF the stewards
of the Jockey club. Sired by the Eng
hsh bred Ormonde, for whom Mr.. Nc
Donald a few years ago paid $50 900,
Ormondale was really the class Of the
race. ~
The Futurity purse this year amount
ed to a total Of $42, $50, several thou
sands short of early estimates. The
winners share was $33680. To Mr..
Whitney as owner of the second horse,
the sum of $S083.33 was awarded and to
Z Teu souFl0Ws OW1eEt OF BelH1efG, $Z,-
1851. To Mcdonald and Miller, as
breeders of the winner, the additional
sum OF $4,000 was given. and to James
e. Madden breeder of the second and
third horses, $3.50 and $500 awards were
made.
The crowd numbered close to $4,000
people, but was by no means a record
breaker.
The race, run down the six furlongs
of the Futurity chute, was brief and
exciting. To a fair start the seventeen
2-year-olds left the barrier in one great
sweeping group. From the grandstand
it was a wild tumble of colors. At the
turn into the stretch, however, it was
seen that Ornondale had a slight adj
vantage, closely followed in the first
fight by half a dozen other contenders.
On to the finish line the great field
came, the Ormonde colt, guided by
Redfern's steady hands, disposing of
enc after another of the colts and FLIES
who challenged his lead. In the last
sixteenth Timber closed fast and a
great shout went up from the stands.
But Redfern, ridingsa strong finish with
hands and knees, sent Ormondale over
the line with a good bit to spare. There
was not much cheering It was Red
ferns first Futurity.
Belmere, well up all the way, finished
a strong third. Flip Flap, often being
bumped about in the first furlong, came
with rush in the stretch and ran into
fourth place. Following him was Kuroki
of the Keene pair, and then Jacobite
and Vendor. The others were strung
out for quite distance, Artery being
last and Veronese, carrying the colorS
of w. 6. DAILY, fifteenth.

Then there was a scene" such as we

But Reagan was obdurate. He ordered
the Leavenworth team to take the field
and proceed with the game.
II was one of those plays that come
up so seldom that the rules carry no
provision for their decision. A base run
ner IS out If hit by a batted ball, but

PTrTsBURG GETS THE GAME.
President PuIliam UpEoIds Umpire IN
FORGETTING Game of Aug. 5.

FORGETTING Game OF Aug. ..
New York, Aug. 2s.-President
PulIiam of the National league, in a
statement today regarding the protest
by the New York club against the de-
cision of the umpire in a ball game
played at Pittsburg Aug. 5, said:
1.-The facts of this controversy, as
CATION, including a personal examina-
ton of both unpireS officiating in the
game, are as follows.
'sIn the ninth inning of the game in
question, as a result of a misunder-
standing between the umpires, there
was a mix-up as to who should give
the decision at third base. Before this
matter could be settled between the
umpires the playing field was illegally
the New York club. rEhereupon the
umpire-in-chief ordered said McGraw
off the playing field, in accordance
with the provisions Of the playing
rules, which restrict the privileges of
the playing field to players in the
game. Upon McGraw's refusal to
leave the field the umpire gave him
notice that, at the expiration of a GER
tain time limit, he would exercise his
extreme authority and forfeit the
game. McGraw continued to defy the
authority of the umpire, and the UNI
pire. after waiting a longer period
than he was justified under the cir
cumstances, forfeited the game.
ttThe decision of the umpire is up
held by the president of the league
and the result of the game as awarded
stands.
This finding is subject to review by
the board of directors If the New York
club desires to take an appeal from
the decision rendered"
