THEPAGE RACE Meet
INTERESTING EVENTS PULLED
OFF YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
Good Results Secured Despite Adverse
Weather Conditions-Crowd Was
Enthusiastic Over the Winners in
Some of the Events.

Page, n. D., June 21.-As far as en-
thusiasm and number of visitors was
concerned the race meeting which OPP
ened yesterday was a success in all
respects, except the weather which was
decidedly chilly and squally. but the
crowds made the best of it and were
determined to enjoy the sport Interest
in speedy horses is very pronounced
at Page, more particularly the loyalty
to the local horses, and when one pass
ed under the wire first the shouts and
applause was like pandemonium, and
the ladies were not behind the men in
the display of pleasure waving colors
and handkerchiefs and blowing
horns.
The programme was presented with
out change, except the withdrawing of
just one entry The starter was D. w.
Brown Of Neenah, Wis; II. r. Hart
man, Carl Nelson, Erie, and 4. Brock,
were the judges, and w. J. Hawk. Buff
falo, and Rex Bryan of Hope acted as
official timers.
The entries for the first event, 2:25
pace were, Idle Time, driven by T. l..
Murphy; Leah, by j. Blackburn, Bon
nett, by Dick Harter, and Texas Ralph
by Tom Busby The score was:
Idle Ilme
Leah ........ .1 1 1
Bennett - ..4 A 8
Texas Ralph ........ ..........2 8 2
Time-2:281s, 2:3O, 2:30.
In the second heat the judges an
nounced the result between Idle Time
and Leah, a dead heat but later
changed positions to Leah first and
Idle Time second.
The event of the day and the one
which commanded the most interest
was the 2:15 pace, because Baby Lon,
owned BY J. r. Collins of this town,
was one of the contestants, but 1t was
conceded that the little mare would
have to do her best The entries were.
Baby Lou. driven by Tom Murphy; An
ma Marie j. F'ladeland, and Har-
ry W.. by j. Blackburn The disap-
pointment was intense in the first and
second heats when Baby Lou failed
to reach the wire first. The mare
gained a good lead IN the last half
OF the second heat, but as she turn
ed the last corner her sulky broke
down. The score tells the rest Of the
story:

Large Array of Legal and Medical
Talent Brought In.
CENTER, Neb, May 6.--(Special )-One Of
the most satisfactory terms OF district court
ever held in this county has just been con-
cluded here. The court calendar. which mas
been crowded with old cases, in which IL
was simply a contest between parties to
see which could keep up litigation the long
est, has been practically cleaned up. Leon
Bingham, a young man from the Santee
reservation, pleaded guilty to larceny from
the person and was sentenced to one year
in the penltentiary. Carl Futterer, another
young man from Bazie Mills, pleaded guilty
to horse stealing and was given one year.
There were numerous cases of more or
less Importance tried and one that has
probably excited more interest among the
medical fraternity throughout the whole
country than any law suit for some time
The case was one for damages in the sum
of 5000 for injuries alleged 20 have been
received while being exposed 10 the X-rays
for the purpose OF obtaining q skyograph
to locate a stone in the bladder. The array
of legal talent employed in the case and
the expert testimony introduced made the

conducted by State Senator w. A. Meserve
OF Creighton and w. D. Funk OF Bloomfield,

Chicago. Judge ], F. Boyd OF Neigh was
on the bench and from the very first It
was a clash of legal talent seldom seen in
so small a court room, and at times the
objections and personal arguments between

and surgeons who were employed to give

being out but a few hours brought in a
verdict for the plaintiff and assessed the
damages at $500 and costs. 1t is more than

FREMONT, Neb., May 6.-(Special. "A
meeting OF all interested in draining the
Platte valley bottoms Of this county was
held in the district court room yesterday
afternoon. 1t was called by the CONNER
cial club and was largely attended by
farmers and property owners OF Platte,
Nickerson and Elkhorn townships. The
general opinion of those present was that
more and deeper bitches were needed.
One plan which seemed TO meet with gen
eral favor was for q diagonal ditch from
the bluns at point about six miles north
west OF town TO connect with the Human
ditch which II an east and west ditch, and
would have 10 be widened and deepened.
Tile draining also came in for discussion
and il is probable that II the bitches are
made wide and deep enough several thous-
and feet Of that kind Of drains will be put
in next season. Resolutions were adopted
that IL was the sense OF the meeting that
more bitches were needed and that the
services OF a drainage engineering expert
be secured 70 determine where they should
best be located. The matter will be pre-
Esnted to the county board At tie next rssu-
ulsr meeting and it Is the intention Of those
faVoTing bitches 70 push things.

for the street, and, as Senator Hansbrough
tells it. the sensation was nerve racking.
He started across the street, when the
earth rose up at him, knocking him down.
