Mistake in Placing Weights on Rifle
man Causes New York Million
aire to Change Base of
Operations
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANLISCO, Dec. 4-There was
general surprise at Emeryville today
over the announcement that r. f. Car
man, the wealthy New York turfman,
had decided to transfer his entire stable
of fifty l.orses to Arcadia for the winter.
Carman, it is understood, privately in
formed several of his intimates who
sought an explanation Of his sudden
change of plans, that he was influenced
to transfer his stable because of the fail
ure of the local Handicapped to assign
an impost on Rifieman, winner of the
Thanksgiving handicap, for the over
night har cap won by Peter Sterling to-
day.
1t seems that Trainer Blute of the Car
man string entered Rifieman Monday for
today's race, but when the weights were
posted Rifeman's name was missing from
the list, He dicapper Egbert having in
stead assigned an impost to Acrobat,
from the same stable, by mistake Blute
refused to be plao ated and Carman's an
nouncement of his intention to ship his
entire stable to Arcadia followed.

The reason for this is the fence which
incloses the park. While 1t is high
enough and evidently built to keep an
army from entering the inclosure 1t Is
of wire and no lumber save the posts Is
in evidence. The general appearance is
certainly an improvement over the board
fence, and according to the officials will
prove satisfactory in every way.
Down at the lower stretch turn the
track comes within few feet of the
outside barrier, and from here to the
back turn the course parallels the fence.
This, will undoubtedly be a popular spot
with the rubber-neck contingent, and at
present no plan has been devised TO
chase them away.
One trouble with Santa Anita park
for the opening weeks, at least-is ex-
pected from the transportation facilities
which the Los Angeles Racing associa-
tion and the public will be forced to put
up with. While the Pacific Electric has
promised ample service and a rapid
schedule it is doubtful II this will be
delivered.
At present it takes what seems an age
to reach Santa Anita, for delays all
along the line are constantly occurring.
A thirty-five minute schedule Is in pros
pect, but the chances of it's being OBJ
tained are slight, il the time now taken
to reach the track can be used as
basis of judgment.
The Southern Pacific will doubtless help
out on The transportation part OF the
program by running two specials direct
to the track each day. The spur INTO
the grounds is already completed and
passengers who use the steam cars Will
be unloaded right in the park. They
will secure tickets at the same time
railroad fares are collected and Ito stops
will be made before reaching santa
Anita.

SAYS LUNACY IS DUE TO
WORRY. WINE. 'WOMA N

~ London, Sept. 22.-Dr. Carlos F.
Macdonald, the we'll known alienist,
says in regard to recent statistics OF
the insane:
THAT there is a steady numerical
increase in insanity is undeniable,
but that there is any material in
crease in the ratio of insanity to the
sane in population is very doubtful.
Statistics show that the insane in
Endland and Wales Increased from
36, 762 in 1859 to 123.988 in 1907, a
numerical increase of 237 per cent,
whereas the estimated increase in
the general population in the same
period was only N per cent.
"lt goes without saying that sub.
stantially every individual during
the most active stage of his life, the
stage at which insanity is most fre'
Quent, is almost daily exposed tt
chief exciting causes wine, woman,
worry and work. And yet sanity j.
the rule and insanity the exception

BROWN S AUTO BALKS.

We have often had to contend with
'bucking" gasoline enignes in run
ming our printing establishment and
could therefore sympathize with our
friend W. J. Brown, county attorney
of Marshall county, when we saw
him yesterday afternoon coming in
to town on his new automobile
drawn by Justice Carlson's dray.
Mr.. Brown was returning from a
trip in the country and when about
two miles out on his way home the
engine stubbornly refused to turn
a wheel, and neither threats nor
coaxings could change it's decision.
In this dilemma Mr.. Brown made
for the nearest telephone to summon
assistance from the city. At last the
unruly horseless carriage was attach
ed to Justice Carlson's dray and.
with it's occupant proudly perched on
the rear seat, was pulled into town.

objections to the assessments made

OF the ditch. Among those who we're
here were Lars Bjorsness, Hans

in many cases not just and fair.

plants and succeeded. we believe,
in finally adjusting matters So. that
everybody was satisfied and returned
to their homes-.-happyss: and pleased

WHO THE FARMER is.

The following, taken from the
Anoka Union, is good enough to
paste in your scrapbook: "We heard
a couple of town 'doods' make some
disparaging remarks yesterday, con-
cerning a farmer who was upon the
streets, and whose pants we're not
fresh from the tailor's press, and
whose shoes were of different pat
tern from those worn by the critics.
You poor, puffed-up imbeciles! Do
you know who the is farmer is? He
is the man who moves the world. If
he we're to 60 on a strike and refuse
to raise a crop for a single year, the
effect would be more disastrous than
would result if all the railroad men,
all the miners and all the trade
unions combined we're to quit. With
his glittering share and with his
clinking binder, the farmer tolls on,
furnishing substance for the whole
world, and without his prosperity.
UllC SOOUS "Ou1N 1OO VII 1uCl-

10 HOLD A POW-WOW.

Congressman Halyor Steenerson
has received word from the chief and
head non of the Red Lake Indians
asking him to hold a conference with
them. Mr.. Steenerson writes back
that he will visit the agency in a
short time, the exact date not being
fixed, and will be pleased to meet
large delegation of the Indians.
The most important matter to be
discussed is the proposed opening to
sale of part of the remaining pine
on the reservation A bill for this
purpose was introduced at the last
session of congress but owing to a
disagreement about it's terms Mr.
Steenerson did not press it's passage
and concluded to wait until the
next session. The question as to
how the pine should be sold. whether
it should be sold by the Indians on
the reservation or disposed or out
right, was still open. Also as to
whether it should be sold in a
period of 5, 10 or Is years was under
dispute.
The Indians have a grievance
against the government, but in this
have not been paid over the money
belonging to their minor children,
arising from the sale of the eleven
i townships. The law actually pro-
vides for the payment of this but the
department. refuses to pay them.
The Indians growing impatient have
been planning to bring legal proceed
ings against the government but in
this Mr.. Steenerson has discouraged
them.

TOWN OF NUMEDAHL TO
BE EXAMINED BY STATE.

At the meeting of the board OF
county commissioners of Red Lake
County, Tuesday, the auditor was
instructed to request Public Ex-
aminer Schaeffer to send a special
examiner to the town of Numedahl
in that county, to examine the &C.
counts of the town treasurer and
town clerk for the years 1905 and
1906, and also to examine the books
of.the treasurer and clerk of school
district No. 134 in the same town.
During the past couple of years
there has been lot of trouble among
the residents of .-Numedahl over the
accounts of the different officers and
school districts, and this week
several residents supported by at
torneys appeared before the county
board in an effort to settle up the
troubles. The board heard the
arguments. and after consideration
determined to ask for a special
examiner to 60 over the accounts and
see if these differences cannot be ad-
justed satisfactorily. 1t is not
specially charged that. there are any
discrepancies in these accounts, but
in order that the whole deal can be
Strengthened out satisfactory to all
parties concerned it was thought
that the best course to pursue was
to call in a special examiner. The
examiner will be likely to be here
shortly to do his work, when the
whole thing will be made plain and
satisfaction dealt out to all.-Crooks-

A HEATED ARGUMEN 7.

It was at county-seat town in

Sept, in the office of a judge of pro-
bate whose years in office numbered
about as many as the hairs on the
top of his head, that a knight Of the

service, recounted the incidents Of a
wreck on one of the great trans-con-
tinental railroad lines Of our great
country; and and observed that the
cause of the wreck was rotten ties;
that. the management of the road
wassso> bad that while the wrecking
train was busy clearing the track, a
passenger train. crashed into it,;
that it was a notorious fact that
the same railroad had more than
thirty wrecks in thirty days. Where
upon a listner who had served many
years as an attorney for the railroad
in question denied the last assertion
and the man of the road came back
with a bet of 100000 and was met
with the assertion that he was not
worth that much money and could
not raise it; and the veteran traveller
asked if the (Atty.) called him a
liar and received all affirmative

DOG ON TRIAL FOR LIFE.

"Billy," a diminutive canine, is
the center of interest in dog case
from Hawley, Minn., that promises
to become famous in court annals.
He was condemned to die by Judge
Herring, Of Hawley, but his owner.
George Shippey, appealed from his
decision, and the matter will be
considered by Judge Baxter in dis
trict cc"rt at Moorhead this fall.
Meanwhile, Billy continues to enjoy
his liberty.
George Lumley, Of Haw]ey. asked
an official decree of condemnation
for Billy, Shippey's dog, and Shippey
engaged attorney Wm. Russell. OF
Moorhead, to look after the interests
of the canine, while attorney W. q.
Hammet, of Hawley, prosecuted
the case. Sixteen witnesses were
called to testify as to the viciousness
of the dog, who stated that Billy hac

them, but none of them had eye1

him biting anyone.
Judge Herring declared Billy to be
a public nuisance and ordered hin
killed. But Billy's owner at once
appealed the case and the l6 witness
