APPEAL CASE TO SUPREME COURT
Paul Thonney Not Satisfied With
Ruling Of Judge Brents in
Dixie Road Case.

Paul Thonney, the Dixie rancher
whom Judge Brents decided must open
dedicated road through his property
has decided to take the case to the SUI
preme court and today filed a bond in
the superior court guaranteeing the ex-
penses Of the appeal. The case was
brought by Mr. Thonney against
George Rice, supervisor of road district
No. 2, to prevent the county from open
ing up a road through his land, WHICH
adjoins the town of Dixie.
Mr.. Thonney contended that through
failure to open up the road after a
period of nearly 20 years the county
mad forfeited all rights in the matter.
Judge Brents rendered a decision I'M
favorable to Mr.. Thonney and he now
has served notice that he will take the
case up to the higher court.

IS CONVICT MULLEN INNOCENT ?
John Staley, Seattle Stranger, Asserts
He Committed Crime That Null
len Was Convicted of.

Is Frank p Mullen, serving a three
year sentence in the penitentiary,
wrongfully confined in prison? A
stranger, giving the name of John
Staley, has written letter to the
officers Of Seattle declaring that Null
len is an innocent man and should be
released. Mullen was sent up from
Seattle for the theft of a suitcase and
the contents of trunk, but Staley says
he himself is the man who is guilty
and that since he learned that Mullen
is serving time for the crime he has
been almost crazy and if it was not
for the fact that he is a married man
with three children he would give him
self up and take the consequences.
The officers are inclined to believe
the letter is a hoax, but nevertheless
the matter is being carefully investi-
gated and if the facts are found to be
as Staley asserts Mullen may soon be
free man. Mullen always maintained
he was wrongfully convicted.

BARKEEpER VAM|sHEs WITH $40
Officers IndustriousIy Seek Alex De
Corbud, Lately Employed at
the Schwarz Saloon.

joan Kremer, proprietor of the
Schwarz saloon, is minus $40 that dis
appeared from his safe some time
Thursday night. simultaneously with
the disappearance of Mr.. Kremer's
coin Alex De Corbud, night bartender
in the saloon, turned up missing, and
putting two and two together Mr..
Kremer mas decided that his money
and De Corbud vanished together, and
he has put the officers on the track of
his late barkeeper.
AS the story goes, De Corbud has
been mourning the departure of a lady
love for several weeks. His yearnings
became so strong that taking advant-
age of Mr.. Kremer'S absence from the
saloon office Thursday night he opened
the safe and distracted the $40 that
was snugly tucked away for rainy
day. The Wallula train that leaves
Walla Walla at 10 o'clock every night
is said to have borne De Corbud as a
passenger on that particular night.
The officers are industriously searching
for the whereabouts of Mr.. De Corbud
now.

made by strong partisans and by 9TH

eral J. Madison Drake of Elizabeth,

wouldn't have his locks shorn until
the Nebraska candidate sat in the
presidential chair. He made great
preparations to celebrate the Bryan
victory, invited the people to join him
in the demonstration and proposed to
lead all good Bryan men through the

South Dakota furnished a romantic
bet on the Bryan Mckinley election.
John H. Chase and T. F. McIlheny
loved the same widow and the widow
indicated no preference Davis was
a Bryan man and McIlnenny was an
advocate of Mckinley. So they agreed
to let the result of the election decide

wager, but ;he perverse widow made
Chase break faith with his rival.
Bets Wife Against House.
Perhaps the strangest wager of the
80 campaign was made by William
Corbus and George Barnell of Elk
mart, Ind. Corbus, overheated with
faith in Mckinley, offered to bet his
wife on his Judgment. Barnell snapped
him up at once and the two men went
to a lawyers office and drew up a
formal agreement as follows:
This memorandum of agreement
made and entered into this 21st day
of October, 1896, by and between

And Mr.. Corbus agreed to the terms
of the strange wager. However, Bar
nell failed to win her.
But here is the most gorgeous wager
on record Henry Harley, the Oil
man. once won 100000 by simple
wager with a friend named Phillips on
the ''nigger UP or niger down" game.
This was a favorite sport among the
clubmen of Fifth avenue Frequently
they bet $40, $40, or as high as $1Oo
that the first negro passing would go
up or go down the avenue. Harley bet
"nigger up" at 500 head Inc
judges and referee went to the window
and began to count. Strangely
enough. there seemed to be an unusual
number of colored men and women on
the avenue and in twos and threes
they were strolling downtown.
By II o'clock $40 men, women and
children had gone downtown. Phillips
was highly elated and Harley was
thunderstruck. Phillips $4,000
ahead of the game, began to order
UP the champagne. eBtween IL and
l o'clock the downtown movement of
colored people ended, but at 2 o'clock
there came the strains of a band from
far down the street and presently
negro drummajor followed by an army
of colored organizations, paraded past
the club. The counters worked des-
and, although they missed many per-
sons, they agreed that at least 5000
had gone up the avenue and only $40
had gone down. Consequently Har-
ley's winnings amounted to $4,000.
Phillips paid without a murmur, but
he never took part in a ''nigger" gam
BILE again.
An Englishman named Whalley
once made a unique wager of several
thousand pounds. He bet that in
twelve months ne could walk from
Calais, to Jerusalem, play at fives
against the walls of the holy city and
walk back to Calais. He won his
bet. and ever after bore the nickname
of Jerusalem Whalley.
The marquis of Queensberry also
figured in a curious little proposition
He wagered 1000 pounds that he
could send a letter fifty miles in an
hour without use of a carrier pigeon
Or steam railroad. "Old O. won the
money. He stationed two dozen
cricketers sixty yards apart, and then
handed one of them a cricket ball. In
closed was a note. The twenty-four
men passed the ball around their cir
Gle sixty times and finished the fifty
miles a few minutes within the spe-
Gifted time.
