that all acquisitions received from

Betting on Races Is Not Gambling

Cincinnati, Dec. 14.-The decision
OF the Kentucky court of appeals that
betting on horse. races is not gaming
within the meaning of the Kentucky
statute against such action was Of in,
terest to Latonia track people, not
alone because of the fact that the
case went up from the track, but also
because 1t seemed to have an indirect
bearing on the contest involving the
life of the famous race course. The
Latonia management sought an in.
junction against the state race com
mission, which had forbidden the in.
stallation OF regular bookmakers al
the various meetings this year, the case
being still in the Kenton county court
awaiting hearing. One of the conten'
tions of the Latonia Jockey club was
that the commission had authority to
Ak dates but could go no further Sc
long as no law was broken, bookmak
ing being declared to be not contrary
to the law of Kentucky. BY the case
just decided this contention seems tc
be sustained.

AN AUTO CCIDENT
Frank Wilson and Family Have
a Narrow Escape for Their
Lives Last Sunday.

Early Sunday morning Frank Will
son and his wife and little child start
ed for Manila to spend the day in
visiting cousin. They left so early
in the morning because the husband
of the lady whom they went to visit is
a railroad man and had to start on his
run at $50, and they wanted to reach
there in time to see him. While rum
ming along about ten miles an hour
somewhere near six O'Clock at point
about one and half miles this side of
Manila, they went down hill and
across bridge. Just as they left the
bridge a small iron broke in front
which threw the engine to the right
and the wheels to the left. Frank
tried in vain to straighten out and
found the machine heading down q
steep embankment toward wire fence
and creek beyond. To avoid turn
ing over he headed toward post and
managed to strike it with one wheel
which gave them sudden but very
desirable stop. 1t was very dan
gerous but fortunate accident, as none
of them was hurt and the auto receiv-
ed no further injury than that stated
above. Mr.. Wilson left his machine
there for repair and Mr.. Petty met
them at Manning that evening (Sun-
day. and brought them home.
