The truth OF the matter, as far as can
be learned. is that when Lowe was
asked TO fight before the Eureka Club
Barrett Immediately bobbed I'D and
asked HerfoTd TO hold out a share OF
Loves earnings for his benefit Herford
stated this morning in a talk over the
Iong-distance phone that he could not
see where Barrett came in on the deal
and refused to give the self-styleG man
ager cent for something in which he
was not in the least concerned. Then the
racket began, and the attack on Lowe,
the Herfords. and everybody else who
would not give UP money for nothing
was started
Lowe Is indignant over some OF the
charges Barrett has had published
among them remarks about him being
dependent upon his father for the sup
port of his wife, all Of which had no
bearing on the subject. HerfoFd SAYS
he has use for Barrett and that il
he catches him around the Eureka Club
he will be full of regrets and bruises
and largely in order TO get back at his
Baltimore enemies. Barrett has taken a
fling at the Washington fighters who are

accused of having knowledge of Lou

statement OF DR.. A. II. Fehr. veter-
marian who was in the employ Of @.

DR.. Fehr says in substance that he
gave Lou Dillon q heavy dose of bella

and insistent instructions Of Murray
Howe, secretary of the Memphis track.
who brought the Teplevin suit for the
recovery Of the cup. and that this dose
was administered despite the fact that

anything the matter with the mare
Or. Fehr's statement in fun is as fol-
loRs:
"Unwarranted Attack"
AT the time OF the trotting race meet
at Memphis, when the celebrated race
between Major Deimar, belonging to
Z. L. 6mathers. and Lou Dillon, the
property Of c, X, @. Billings, was trot-
ted, I was employed in the position Of
SAAsA-oA hVAOAA4ASAA AG4A VI inc aoSONt@AAAb4A
and was also in the employ Of c. X. O..
Billings. I have known all along that
there was something wrong with the
race, but never considered IL was
up 10 me 10 make any statement
In connection with the case until the
recent attempt OF what I consider TO be
an unwarranted attack upon Mr.. Smath-
ers has been brought ouS.
In q few words, I can say that after
the first heat between Major Delnar and
Lou Dillon was trotted, l was sum
mOned by Murray Howe in a great hur-
~. Mr.. Howe seemed excited and the
first thing he said to me was that Lou
Dillon had an attack OF the thumps or
what We technically term in the profess
sion spasInOdic contraction Of the
diaphragm. We went 10 the stall where
the mare had been taken after the nTst
heat She was closely guarded by g
special officer. and Murray Howe, who
was at the time the personal representa-
tive Of Mr. Billings. directed me TO treat
the mare for the thumps.

Alas. Alas, o Lord God, alas. We
are dead, and thy kingdom is lostl''
That night none slept, for all were
athirst, and who can sleep with burn
ing throat? Now also Goodwin and
wuIf were no longer laughed at be-
cause Of the water skins they carried
on their horses. Rather did great no
bles come to them and almost on their
knees crave for the boon Of single
cup. Having watered their horses spar
inGly from a bowl, they gave what they
could till at length only two skins re-
NAMED. and one of these was spilled
by thief, who crept up and slashed it
with his knife that he might drink
while the water ran to waste. After
this the brethren drew their swords
and watched, swearing that they would
kill any man who so much as touched
the skin which was left
All that long night through there
arose a confused clamor from the
camp, OF which the burden seemed to
be. Water! Give us water"' while
from without came the shouts of the
Saracens calling upon Allah. Here,
too. the hot ground was covered with
scrub dried to finder by the summer
drought, and to this the Saracens set
fire so that the smoke rolled down on
the Christian host and choked them,
and the place became hell
Day dawned at last, and the army
was formed up in order of battle, its
two wings being thrown forward. Thus
they struggled on, those of them that
were not too weak to stir, who were
slaughtered as they lay. Nor as yet did
the Saracens attack them, since they
knew that the sun was stronger than
all their spears. On they labored to-
ward the northern wells, till about mid
day the battle began with flight Of
arrows so thick that for awhile it hid
the heavens.
After this came charge and counter
charge, attack and repulse, and always
above the noise of war that dreadful
cry for water. What CHANGED Goodwin
and Wulf never knew, for the smoke
and dust blinded them so that they
could see but little way. At length
there was d last furious charge, and
the knights with whom they were Glove
the dense mass of Saracens like SER
pent of steel, leaving a broad trail Of
dead behind them. When they pulled
rein and wiped the sweat from their
eyes it was to find themselves, with
thousands of others, upon the top of a
steep hill, Of which the sides were thick
with dry grass and bush that already
was being fired.
'aThe rood. The rood! Rally around
the rood" said a voice, and, looking be-
hind them, they saw the black and
jeweled fragment of the true cross Get
upon a rock. and by it the bishop Of
Acre. Then the smoke of the burning
grass rose up and hid it from their
sight.
Now began one Of the most hideous
fights that are told of in the history Of
the world. Again and again the Sara
Gems attacked in thousands, and again
and again they We're driven back by
the desperate valor of the Franks, who
fought on, their jaws agape with thirst.
While the Saracens held off, the SOL
dlerS began to put up the kings pa.
