Jockeys Radtlze, Seweu and NicoI Get
Princely Incomes.

Philadelphia, May 2.=Three little
lads, none over IS years of age, will
earn from $40, 600 to $3.50 each dur
ing the coming season on the eastern
race tracks, which opened at Bennings.
These boys with Trust official incomes
are Jockeys Herman Radtkes Lee
Sewell and David Nicol. They range in
weight from 95 TO 105 pounds.
Radtke. Sewen and NicoI I'LL all the
requirements of a first class jockey. For
year they have displayed skill, cour-
age. alertness and strength to such a.
remarkable degree that they are at the
top of the ladder. Radtke probably is
the greatest of the three. He was so
successful this winter that "Bub" May,
trainer for Paul Rainey, the young
millionaire owner of the Tippah Farm
stable, offered $4,000 for the lads re-
lease. Radtke will ride this summer
for Jack Keene, who will come east
with a big string Of horses. In all his
races Radtke has displayed the utmost
GOODNESS and courage His friends say
he does not know what fear means. He
is a Whirlwind f1nisher and has often
won a race at the post when his friends
had given up all hope of cashtng their
bets.
Sewe1 came east last summer. He
quickly rose from an apprentice boy to
a first class jockey. W. H. Rowe, own
er of Colonial Girl, that beat Hermis
in the $50, 900 Worlds Fair handicap,
soon discovered that Seweu had great
ability, and he engaged him at big
salary. The boy went to New Orleans
this winter and at the fair grounds
track soon rode so many winners that
in spite of an illness of several weeks
he managed to hold the lead among the
riders at that track.
Nicol jumped into prominence last
season as the pilot of SysOnby. He rode
that horse in the majority of his races.
James r. Keene was so impressed with
the way he rode the champion that
twice he paid him $1,000 to come from
the west to guide his favorite IN big
races on the local tracks. During the
winter Nicol went to New Orleans, and
at the city Park track soon was the
leading jockey.

THRIFTY COLONEL ~.
Charged With Carrying Away Dresses,
Hats, Watches, Etc.

Newton, Kan. May Ed Scott.
the colored janitor in the Santa Fe Of
fee building, is confined in the county
jadl awaiting his preliminary hearing
on the charge of having stolen various
and sundry things. AS janitor of the
Santa Fe Office building, Scott had the
keys to the sample room. For several
months, the various travelling men that
have used this room have reported the
loss of articles of various values One
drummer lost a lady's tailor suit,
for which the Harvey people made
restitution in the sum of $40, and 9TH
ers lost ladies' jackets, hats. watches,
military brushes, and such things. At
the same time things began to disap-
pear Ynysteriously from the rooms in
the Office building and the baggage
room. The Santa Fe police investi-
gated the case for several weeks and
finally got evidence that led them to
believe Scott was the thief.
They turned the matter over to
Sheriff Blanpied, who got a search
warrant and went to his house on East
Sixth street. There was found an ar
ray of stuff that surprised the officers.
One wagon load of stuff was taken to
Judge Mears' office and as much more
remains to be hauled away. Besides
the articles enumerated above, a Pull
man car spittoon, a Santa Fe bracket
lamp, coach brushes and much other
Santa Fe property was found. It is
said that Scott admits having taken the
Santa Fe stuff but denies having stolen
the other property, saying he bought
it of certain parties whom he names
