horses broke all records for mile and quarter in

Racine was bay, bred at Palo Alto, near San
Francisco, by the late Senator Stanford. He was
the best horse of his day in his State, and of
quality to do battle with the fastest of the East.
Thomas H. Williams thought Racine worthy the
best of the land, and he leased Racine for a
paign on the Eastern and Middle Western courses.
In course Racine came to famous old Washington
Park at Chicago, track where annually gathered
mighty thoroughbreds for the running of the Amer

score of those careless, happy Cafornans came to
to follow the fortunes of the Palo Alto horse most

beaten at Washington Park. That no great
disgrace because the best of them had been beaten

leved IN by his own people.

David Pusiferr made protest. He owned the person
of Tenny, and in that horse wrapped the pride
and the ambitions of the tribe of Pulsfer
So nsistent Pulsifer that Tenny had

emotional challenge, and made wager of FIVE thou

not repeat the performance of the Suburban and
thrust defeat into the face of Tenny second time.
Thus it came about that June day at old Sleeps

of the giants, and the whole country fingered close
to the telegraph wires to get first hand of the
finish.
Now, there have been many splendid stories and
at least one good poem written of that match.

show that in this stupendous game of horse racing
the prize is not always to the swiftest. Salvador
did not beat Tenny in the match because he

a jockey knew it and took fair advantage of it,
Salvador had his white in front at the end of

That particular stall at Sheepshead just at

Isaac feared Tenny in the match. He told Haggin
so frankly. He had been Salvador when that
horse had all he could do to beat Tenny in the
Suburban, and he better than anybody, knew what
foeman Tenny Haggin SO filled with
confidence born of his WORSHIP, of Salvador that he
would scarce give to Isaac's fears, and had the
Negro lost the race it is my belief that Haggin
would have parted racing company with the black
boy. So it was that Isaac put himself to serious

Change Made

j. P. Helm, for the past six
years Warden of the penitentiary
today turned over the institution
to his successor, Fred Hillen-
brand. Mr.. Helms management
has been a very creditable one
and his retirement is a matter OF
deepest regret to the prisoners.
When he took charge there were
less than two hundred prisoners
and the prisoners had a fund of
about $500. Mr.. Helm has al.
ways encouraged the men to save
their money from the sales of
trinkets and this fund has been
raised to over $4,000, each man be-
ing given his earnings upon his
release from the institution. On.
ly a few days ago one man took
with him about $3.50 which he
had saved from the sale of articles
which he had made con his own
time" The boys are very frank
in their expressions of good will
toward Mr.. Helm declaring that
he had always treated them fairly
and each would have liked to See
him stay until their time was out.
Mr. Hillenbrand is well known
to them and he will no doubt be
be able to keep up the excellent
record made by his predecessor.
He assumes charge with ZIG men
in the institution.
AS was announced previously,
MIR. Helm will remain in Rawlins,
having accepted a position with
the Bennett Hardware Co., as
salesman. He has excellent bus
mess and executive ability and
the firm may congratulate itself
upon securing his services.-Raw-

Has Faith in Gold Hill

j. B. Kitch, who came down
from the Mohawk mine in the
Gold Hill district, speaks very
highly of that camp and it's pros
poets. "There is no question
about the gold" said Mr.. Hitch,
1.-The only concern we have is to
save it, We took samples from
the ore all across the vein and put
it all together and had it assayed.
We got something over SIT in
gold. No one need worry about
the gold being there for we know
its there. We can save a good
share of it, but the question is to
save it all, or so nearly all that We
will not feel that we are. loosing
too much. A recent run netted us
a little over $l4 per ton. That
was simply a test run to see what
the mill would do in the way of
saving the gold"

Under Loaded Wagon

Wardwell Blydenbur who
was in town Tuesday for a load of
salt for his sheep camps, met with
a narrow escape from death just
as he was driving into the Jack
creek ranch. In going down a
slight declivity n of the tugs
came loose and the neck-yoke
came off, the tongue dropping to
the ground. The team ran off,
overturning the wagon load of
salt on top of Wardwell.

yesterday morning and found him
suffering from numerous bruises,
but no broken bones or internal
injuries. He will be confined to

Wyoming in Washington

A few years ago Wyoming was
regarded as a Thousand miles
from nowhere and beyond the
frontier"
And, indeed, even now we are
thirty hours from Chicago and
two days from New York.
But in Washington we are very
much on the map, even if we have
less than 10000 people.
When Congress or the president
want a man for an important place
Wyoming looms up and usually
gets away with the plum.
Warren is chairman Of the Mil
itary committee, while Mondel is
influential in the house and will
likely be chairman of the Public
Lands committee.
Van Devanter is a United
States Circuit Judge and is but on g
remove from the United States su-
preme court bench.
Van Orsdel has made good rs
assistant attorney general to the
court of claims and now succeeds
the late Judge McComas on the
bench of the court of appeals for
the District of Columbia. There
is no getting away from the fact
that Wyoming, through its con-
gressional delegation plays a very
important part in the affairs of
the nation. According to a prom
inent Washington correspondent.

National Forest Notes

Supervisor j.. w. Nelson, of this
place, has let the contract for the
delivery of the poles to be used in
the construction of the govern
ment telephone line from this
place to Gold Hill to Ralph w.
Wood. Mr.. Wood began the work
of cutting and delivery of the
poles last Monday morning. The
survey for the line started out OF
this place Monday. and Mr.. Nelson
informs the Sun that the work of
construction will be begun at once
and pushed to as rapid completion
as possible, as the line is much
needed in the conduct of the Ma
tional Forest business.
Mr. Nelson is also having a sta
ton for forest rangers constructed
on Heather creek, about three
miles from the timber line. This
building will contain three rooms,
each of which is sixteen feet
square. This building is for the
exclusive use of the rangers and
will be fitted in a comfortable
manner and be a stopping point
on the road and at all times ready
for use. Accommodations for hor-

Some Mail Complications

the matter of carrying the mail on
the s. & E. train and on Tuesday
Mr.. Scribner begain again to car
ry the mail sacks between here

seems that Mr.. Scribner, the con-
tractor, did not consult with the
department concerning the matter
of having the mail carried by the
train, but proceeded to make the
arrangement on mis- own RESPONSE.
bility. One would think that
such an arrangement would make
no difference with the department
and that a contractor could carry
the mail on a train, stage coach, or
any way in which he could do ii
the best and easiest, just 30 long
as he gave good service. The de-
partment has been petitioned for
permission to deliver the mail to
the trainmen of the s. & E. road
and there is but little doubt about
it's being granted.

town in the most artistic manner
with reference to it's future. The
Springs company propose to make
a Saratoga Beautiful" by COM
mencing at the beginning and lay
ing out boulevards, parks and
other scenic attractions while it is

engines to be had between Wal
colt and the Encampment river.

The :. e. E. has been unfortu-
nate in the matter of burning up
hay and pasture along it's route
this fall. The men employed to
burn a fire guard thru the ranch
of Albert Crone, on Pass creek,
allowed the fire to get away from
them and burned up thirty or
fourty acres of pasture, a stack of
hay containing twenty or thirty
tons and some machinery. A fire
guard was burned thru the pas
ture on the Crawford ranch, but it
was not effective. A spark from
an engine set fire to the dry grass
and swept across the fire guard
and burned off twenty or twenty
live acres. The wind was not
blowing at the time or the flames
would have swept across the val
ley to the bluffs east of that place.
Within the past week an attempt
was made to burn IA fire guard
thru the Nickel ranch, but the
grass would not burn and the at
tempt was given up. That night
an engine came along and set fire
TO the grass and burned off seven
or eight acres.
The Day cut is not yet finished
and it is believed that another
week will be cons umed in getting
II ready. The rails will then be

work will again be stopped for a
short time.
