BIG STOCK SALE.
James Stock Farm Trotters Go Under
the Hammer.

The closing out sale of the fine trot-
ting and brood stock farm, the James
stock farm near Willard, which was
held at the fair grounds yesterday was
a success as far as disposing of the
stock was concerned for every animal
catalOgued was placed under the ham,
mer and sold. From the standpoint Of
the prices realized on the sales opln-
ions differ. The animals were not In
shape for the market owing to the
circumstances which compelled the
sale at this time. They were in poor
flesh and having run in a pasture all
winter their coats were rough and they
did not make as presentable an ap-
pearance as they would have had if
they had been in the hands of their
former owner
Mr.. c. H. Samson. who has probably
had as much experience with sales of
the country, said: Il consider that the
stock sold brought very fair prices
when everything is taken into consid-
Grafton. The rain kept many people
away from the sale who otherwise
would have been there and would
have stimulated the bidding. Then
this is a poor time of the year for a
sale of this kind and the stock were
not in top notch condition for a public
sale.
Part of the time the sale was held
in front of the grand stand and then
it would commence to rain and the
crowd which was small, was COM
PEELED to make a run for shelter and
this did not help the bidding"
The first animal sold was General
Evans, a black stallion, who was
knocked down to F. L. Stone of VIII
lard for $500 A brown three-year-
old mare was purchased by H. L. Pep
myer for $3.50. J. A. Ramsey pur-
chased an eight-year-o1 brown mare
paying S152.5O for her. Two more full
sisters brought $3.50 and $115. J. NJ
Maxwell paid SIS for thirteen-year-
old mare with track record of
2:26 u. A brown gelding foaled in
1898 was bought by William Allen,
who paid $1075O for his purchase.
Charles H. Samson paid 1925 for a
twelve-year-old mare with a record OF
2:26 and followed this purchase a few
moments after by an offer of $175 for
a full brother to Pilot Evans, who
made a record last year of 2:13, which
changed the ownership of the horse.
G. j. Myers paid $1S5 for q bay geld
ing. T. e. Veale followed this pur-
chase by paying S2O5 for a handsome
black animal. DIR. W. S. Lindsay pur-
chased a brown two-year-old colt with
a record of 2:26 for SIS. Jerome Now
ers of Silver Lake purchased the next
offering for $65. while Maggie Foster
was knocked down to Byron Baird OF
Valencia for $50.
R. F. Hodgins broke into the bidding
at this stage of the game and in rapid
succession made four purchases which
mare was sold to L. NJ. Bard of Flor
ence for $135. A black mare was sold
to G. w. Thompson for $120 and z
gray colt went to o. G. Woolford for
$50. William Allen and r. F. Moore
each made purchase which cost them
Sis and S110. Don Mulvane pur-
chased bay gelding which cost him
$3.50.

IN DISGUISE ]. YEARS.
Former Agent of British Government
Arrested in New York.

New York. April "A scandal
for the Boer war was recalled to life
today in the arraignment of George L.
Jordan, who disappeared in this city
seven years ago while buying horses
for the use of the British army in the
Boer war.
Jordan was arrested last night
charged with forgery in the first de-
gree, having been indicted in 1899 for
the forgery of a promissory note for
$4,000. He escaped arrest, and the
police supposed he had left this
country.
During the seven years of his dis
appearance Jordan has been living in
New York city. He disguised himself
by growing q fun beard. changing his
name to that of Mark Denny. and liv-
ing ostensibly as an American business
man. He went into real estate busi-
ness and prospeerd, it is said.
It was this business, according to
the district attorneys Office, which led
to Jordan's betrayal last mighty for he
had conf1ded to customer the secret
of his identity, and this customer
matters. went to the district attorney
with information which led to the
arrest. The prisoner today admitted
his identity as Jordan and was sent to
the Tombs in default of $4,000 bail.
Prior to the alleged forgery he was
a regularly accredited agent of the
British government. OF dashing
military bearing and with good letters
of Identification from England he was
guest of several Of New York's best
clubs He is so years of age.

FRANTIC, WOMEN.
They Mob the Engineers at the Cour-
rieres Coal Pits.

Lens. France, April 4.-When the en-
gineers came up from the Courrieres
pits at noon today they were attacked
by a crowd of women crying, Death
by a squadron of dragons. The people
are intensely excited. They believe that
there are other men alive in the mine,
and serious disorders are threatened.
A thousand women are thronging
about the pit mouth and are forcing
the barriers. The troops and gendarmes
are trying to control the situation.
Five search parties went down this
morning to explore pit 4 but up tc
1890 D. m, they had not discovered
any more survivors. Other parties are
searching the mines and the chief en-
gineer will remain below all night.
One of party of salvage men was
working in the mine this morning when
he felt the touch of hand on his
shoulder, and man who turned out
to be one of the entombed miners
named Berton said:
Il am saved"
An affecting meeting occurred be-
tween Berton and his wife.
Berton, who was covered with a layer
of coal dust described his experience
as follows:
Il was working with my cousin. when
an explosion occurred and we became
separated. Afterwards, alone,
CROPPED about in the darkness, trying
to find an outlet first found a dead
horse but was unable to eat any OF its
flesh. Later found some lunch bags
which had belonged toInen whohad been
killed by the explosion and I lived on
the food I found. I suffered from the
cold and took clothing and shoes from
the dead. I also found three watches
and "a sous. At one time I gave up
hope and tried to commit suicide by
opening a vein. I slept ten times and
tried to count the days, estimating
that eight days had passed since the
explosion

Large Crowd Present-His Kodak Pic

The following account of a lecture
on his trip around the world by f. W.
Howe appears in the Atchison Globe;
ut may at least be said that the lee
ture at the theater last night for the
benefit of the high school, attracted
the largest lecture audience in the his
tory of Atchison. Every seat was oc-
cupied including the boxes and logess
and many stood on the lower floor AT
the Corn Carnival concert last fall,
given to raise money for the carnival,
the lecturer of last night, announced
as a joke that he would sing Iarboard
Watch A good many did not know
that the announcement was joke, and
zrumbled a little. SO last night the lee
Curer sang the song with Mrs Ada
smith Fullerton, to square himself
A quartette of young girls from Mid
land college began the entertainment {,
and made a fine impression.
THE lecturer attempted to tell Of
his trip around the world. which
caused him to hurry; he should have
confined himself to some particular
phase of the trip. Sixty kodak pic
lures taken on the trip had been pre-
pared for use in a stereopticon. and
were thrown on a screen. life size.
These pictures were so unusual, and
SO evidently genuine. that they attract

Of them were so unique as to attract
rounds of applause. One of these rep
