JOHNSON'S FIGHT PLANS.
Black Man Sees No Chance to Fight
Burrus.

New York. Aug 31.-Jack Robinson says
there will be no change in his plan to
fight Sailor Burke. Johnson evidently
does not think there is much in the Of
fer he received to fight Tommy Burns,
for, when he was asked what he would do
about that fight, he said: I'm going to
fight Burke on Labor day. If Burns
wants to fight me he will have to wait
till some time around Thanksgiving day.

as that Barry is no heavyweight He

Keene'S Colin, at Prohibitive

New York. Aug. al. R Keene's I'M
beaten two-year-cld colt. a son OF Great

Sheepshead bay today He was 10

1t was the smallest field that ever went
to the post in a FutuFity I'm the twenty
years of the race. but this fact detracted
little from the performance.
Knocked back at the start OF the six
furlongs dash and badly shut off just
before the elbow of the chute was reach

the finish and esta blished a new record
for the race of iii is.
BY his victory Colin added $3.50 10 the
enormous sums won this year by the
horses OF the Keene stable. Owing to the
limited field the Futurity of $4,000 was
the smallest ever contested for. amount
ing In the gross to only a fraction more
than $4,000. against a high value of ST.

belonging to Harry Payne Whitney. was
second in a driving finish. with Chapul-
tepec. from the stable of Fred Burnley.
third. Bar None was second choice in the
betting and ran a splendid race. He was
under a drive all through the stretch.
first in an effort to overhaul Chapulte-
pee. the early pacemaker. and then in a
vain endeavOr to head off Colin.
Big Crowd, Ideal Weather.
II was an ideal day for racing and 5000
people crowded the flag-topped stands
house and paddock enclosure. There were
few in the immense crowd who did not
cOncede the Futurity to Colin before the
horses went to the post. The colts vic
tory in the face of bad racing luck gained
him new favor in the eyes Of expert
hOrsemen, who predict that Colin will
prove greater horse than SysOnby.
The start far up in the curving course
which takes its name from the race
seemed well nigh perfect. and the fleet
field came rushing for the finish IN

In the stretch the field began to crack
under the strain OF the pace set by the
leaders and the unplaced horses were
badly strung out.

California Rabbits viii Be

With the coursi1g tournament comins
on, interest IN the event is increasing
among local dog owners and many cues
tiOns are asked as to how the event 8,
carried on. How the hounds are pairec

question that is asked more than any
other is. how are the hares captured

viii be news to a great many to lear1
that there are men in California whG
make a business of trapping hares alive
and shipping them to different parts OF
the country for state and club meets.
The haTes are trapped in the following
manner: The trapper after finding place
where the hares are plentiful, sets large
round trap made out of fOur-fOot chicken
wire. said trap being about 200 feet in
diameter. He then sets a wing OF three
foot chicken wire a half-mile long on
each side of the trap and when it is com
pleted 1t looks like great letter W
Rabbits Are Caught.
The rabbits are then beat up amid
ringing OF bells and a beating of clap
pers and started toward the wings, and
once inside the wings they are SLOWLY
driven into the trap, after which they
are boxed separately and great care must
bestaken in the boxing so that they vii
boxed couple of raw potatoes and some
barley are placed IN the crates and they
are then ready for shipment
The water that they get from the DO
tatOes is all they will use during tran

After their arrival at the coursing park
they are first turned into the racing
grounds where there is neither feed nor
water. They are then slowly driven to-
ward the escapes (Which is also their cor
RAD. where there is water, feed and plen-
ty of shelter for them ana the escapes
are then closed down

After having successfully run the course

hounds to take turn out Of them before
they can reach the escapes.
Three years ago at St. Louis. No, one
hare ran the course twenty-One times and
was never caught. He was afterward
taken out in the country by some of the
Coursng people and turned loose.
It is held by a great many cOursing men
throughout the country that. after a rab-
bit has run the course three times that
he will never make for the escapes as
soon as he is turned loose thereafter. but
will linger awhile in the field before max
ing for the escapes, but he will invar-
iably get away.
1t is a well known fact that a hare is
much more easily boxed for a race after
he has run the course once or twice.

A Man of Vigor and Vim.

While long service in Office
sometimes begets great ability
yet it is not the policy of our
government to give any individ-
ual a life lease of any public
position. 1t has been found a
good plan to infuse new and
young blood into public offices.
In electing Horace Kennedy to
the Office of sheriff the people
of Custer county will place a
Young man of vigor and vim in
one of the most important places
to be filled in the county govern
ment, a young man who will
devote his splendid ability to the
work he will find ready for his
attention. Those who know
Horace Kennedy best know that
he will perform his whole duty
without fear or favor and that
his course will be dictated not by
considerations of policy, but
from the standpoint of his sworn
duty to the public. When Mr..
Kennedy was asked point blank
in a certain strong division
locality, before the primary
election, whether he was for or
against division, he did not try
to give an evasive answer, but
boldly declared that he was
"againist division" Horace is nc
trimmer, and the people of tina;
locality testified their appreci'
alton of his manliness by giving
him an overwhelming majority
at the polls at the primary
election. If elected Horace
Kennedy will make good, and nc
citizen need be afraid to cast hi:
vote for him.

A Nominee of the PeopIe.

At the head of our state ticket
we have Judge M. B. Reece.
His majority at the primary over
as able man as Judge Sedgwick,
shows what the republican party
of Nebraska stands for today.
Judge Reese's record and the
endorsement it received at the
hands of the republicans of Ne
braska, speaks louder than any
platform promises. Judge Reese,
with his hoary massive head,
who did not bend to the will of
corporations when such actions
meant defeat, was replaced in
years past by men of weaker fiber
and different political complexion
but he came to his own again
and this year he is going to lead
the republican hosts of Nebraska
to victory. The people want him,
he is the nominee Of the people,
and Custer county, regardless of
party, will vote for him. Help to
increase his majority.

No Man Better Qualified.

Without any reflection upon
our past county judges, we have
no hesitancy in asserting that
the business of the county court
has never been performed more
faithfully and efficiently than it
has during the past two years.
Judge Humphrey is always at
his post and the records and other
work of the court are always
kept up-to-date and in frst-class
shape. The volume of business
in the Office of the county judge
is growing rapidly, great many
estates are being administered,
and it is of the utmost import
ance that the county judge be a
man we'll versed in the law aud
capable of taking care of the
important interests that come
under his supervision. No man
in the county is better qualified
to do this than Gus Humphrey
and it is generally recognized
that he is the right man in the
right place.

Some of the heads of the big
railways claim that the agitation
of the rate question and antagon-
istic railway sentiment has practi-
cally precluded further railway
extension. They even go so far
as to assert that existing lines
will not be rebuilt when they
wear out-unless from the earn
ings of the roads. They insist
no capitalists will GO into the
open market and borrow money
for railroad building. Men who
build railroads are like those in
other lines of development--if
they see an opportunity to make
money by extending a railway
line into territory wher' there
are rich freight and passenge,
receipts to be collected, it is un.
likely they will stand back and
make faces at themselves to vent
little spite on the public. Oh
course there is wave of an anti.
railroadism over the west-but
, that will soon spend its force
and the railroad magnates should
not overlook the fact that the
( antagonisms we're due to their owr
imperious methods. The stu
alton is clearing itself and the
relations of roads to the public
will be established on a firmel
and safer basis. There is nc
reason for assuming pessimistit
attitude.

Tending Strictly to Business.

1t is greatly to the credit of
our present county judge and
clerk of the district court that
while their opponents nave been
button-holing the voters in all
parts of the county for the past
two months, Humphrey and MAR
have attending strictly to the
business for which the people are
paying them. Although it has
been the custom in the past for
officers up for reelection to travel
over the country for weeks cam
paigning while their business has
been left in the hands of deputies,
these two officers are found al
their posts every day. They
recognize the fact that their time
belongs to the county and botf
are willing to leave it to the
voters whether or not they de
serve reelection.

Gated. The country thus united

N earth, Do you think you
'ould truthfully say the same if
We had two governments instead
# one, now? Custer county is
'estined to become one of the
.reatest counties in the state in
many respects if present boun-
DIARIES are maintained. The great
prosperity of her people in the
past few years has demonstrated
its value as an agricultural and
stock rearing county. In the
past her influence in politics and
public morals have been acknow-
lodged. Who does not appreciate
a good home, good county, a
good state, good nation and a
good name? Divide Custer into
four counties and the population
of either would be less than the
town of Kearney. The valua-
ton would be cut into four parts,
and neither one would have influ-
ence or wealth enough to make
any mprovements or Roadway
for itself. Let us once again
rally to the polls and cast our
votes for united, strong and
prosperous county of which we
can justly be proud.

There is a movement to have
prShibition in Washington. a
bill will be introduced in the next
,eession of congress for that pur-
pose and it is expected the same
interests will vote for it as against
the army canteen. Congressman
from prohibition districts will be
forced TO get in line for the bill
for fear Of future trouble at home.
If the movement succeeds in the
District of Columbia, national
prohibition will probably be next
attempted.
