WON GREAT ENDURANCE
Record Breaking Ride Sixty ye-ts
Along Old Santa .Fe Tfsii.

When we come to talking about
modern endurance races for sport or
for pelf, the present riders can scarce
" hold candle to F. x. Aubrey, who
used to do some great stunts on the
roof Of a bronco In 1850 he made a
bet that he could cover the distance
from Santa Fe, N. M, to Independence,
Mo-, over the old trail In eight days.
It is 765 miles between the two points
% the freight caravans travelled 1t, and
by that route on wager of $1,000
Aubrey was to ride.
He succeeded in winning, making his
destination, the Jones House In indie
pendence, three hours before the ex-
piration Of that time. During this his
4rst ride he killed number Of horses,
the death Of one when within rs miles
Of Council Grove compelling him to
walk to that place, carrying his saddle
on his back, where he obtained an
other animal.
This feat Of Aubrey was regarded as
the greatest ride ever made by any
one In ancient or modern times and he
became the hero Of the incipient bor-
der town, Independence, where he was
feted and made the lion Of the day.
His fame spread throughout the entire
west, including California, where he
was well-known.
:" Although people marvsled much at
the wonderful endurance of the man
and the remarkable time in which he
had made the trip, still Audrey himself
was not at all satisfied with it. He de-
tsrmined to break that record. and
.she following season made another
wager Of 5000 in gold that he would
20 II. He accomplished his record
8feaking dash across the great plains
In the marvellous time Of only five
dh-s and thirteen hours.
i His objective point was the same
hotel to which he had ridden on his
fcfmer trip. On this ride, when he
reached that hosiery, he was per.
fectly exhausted and in fainting condi.
ton, his horse quivering from head
20 foot and white with foam. Aubrey
was lifted from the back of the animal
by his friends and carried into his
room in the house, where he lay in q
complete stupor for two days. Six
horses, which previous to starting from
Santa Fe had been stationed at dis
tances varying from rs to so miles
along the route, fell dead under him
so terribly fast had he forced then
On.
He possessed a beautiful mare
Nelly, favorite animal, noted fol
speed and endurance, bat she expired
{, ut the end of the first $50 miles. Oh
his last great trip he rode day ant
might, stopping only long enough tt
leap from his tired animal and sprin,
On to fresh one. He made NOR,
than 200 miles every "a hours, and al
the sleep he took aggregated but thre'
hours during the entire FIVE days.

WIFE SUES FOR DIVORCE;
HUSBAND IN PENITENTIARY
Man Convicted of Forgery and Sent to
Prison Will Lose His Spouse,
Who Wishes Separation

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-The short-lived
romance of Peter Van Vlissengen, self
confessed forger to the amount of $780,
600, turned the page of its last chapter
yesterday when his wife, Jennie Bland
Van Vlissengen, once his stenographer'
filed suit for divorce.
The bill is one of the shortest in the
records, and sets forth simply that the
plaintiff was married to Van Vlissengen
February 4, 1907, and they separated
November 16, 1908. This is the day
when Van Vlissengen confessed his
forgeries and was tried, convicted ana
sentenced to the Joliet penitentiary-
all in two hours.
The defendant, according to the bill,
was a resident of Chicago until Novem-
Ter, 1908, when he "moved to Joliet
III the location of the state peni-
tentiary.
Mrs. Van Vlissengen's only charge Is
that the defendant has been convicted
Of felony. This, under the Illinois stat
utes. Is sufficient ground for divorce.

IMPORTS TO AMERICA
FROM CHINA INCREASE
Exports to United States from Celestial
Kingdom Show Decrease of
Two Million Dollars

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-There was
a material increase in the importations
of American goods into China during
1908, and a decrease for the same year
of over $4,000, 900 in the exports from
China to the United States.
The department of commerce and la
bor has received a copy of the official

States and Japan are the only large
commercial nations which show fall
ing off in the use of Chinese goods,
while Russia is the only other of the
large nations which shows an increase
in importations into China.
The value of the total imports into
China for 1908 were $258, 900, or $15,-
coo, 900 less than in 1907, and $4,000, 900
less than in 1905, the record year for
China.
The total value of exports from China
for 1908 were $1S1 100000, as compared
with $173, 600 900 for 1907.
During 1908 the imports from the
United States increased $4,000, coo, and
from Russia the increase was from
S59SOOO in 1907 to $5,6670OO in 1908. The
imports from Japan, from Europe ex-
elusive of Russia, and from Korea fell
off to some extent

County Board of Supervisors 9etitions
President Diaz to Have Morals
Bettered

Ell CENTRIC, Sept. 9.-Morals have
reached such condition in the little
border town of Mexicala, just across
the international line in Mexico from
Calexico, that the Imperial county
board of supervisors has taken official
cognizance and will appeal to president
Diaz, through the American consul, for
cleaning up the town.
A resolution was adopted by the SUI
pervisors yesterday to this effect, and
will be forwarded to President Diaz at
once, asking that houses of Ill fame be
suppressed and gamblers be driven out
of Mexicali. A town of probably 600
persons has been supporting thirty sa-
looms and seven places where liquors
are sold, and the place has been
haven for fallen women, gamblers ana
disreputable characters. The Imperial
valley towns feel the evils OF this IN
fuence hence the demand of the super
yisors of Imperial county that moral
cleanup be made.

injured and a score or more less
seriously hurt, in a wreck on the
San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt
Lake railroad today five miles north
of Tintic Junction.
No. /, westbound Overland for Los
Angeles, ran head-on into local train
in a cut and on curve.
The engines and several cars were
thrown from the track and the engi-
neer and fireman on the Overland were
injured so badly that they are not eX-
pected to live.
The injured were taken to Eureka,
where they were given medical attenr
ton until the arrival of special trains
from Salt Lake to remove them to
hospitals.
DENNIS HANNIFIN, Los Angeles.

late for anything to be done.
Train No. out of Salt Lake City was
loaded with fourteen passenger cars.
Passengers Few
Although the train is one of the
through trains to Los Angeles, and
therefore carries heavier loads, it
moves slower, and to that the passen-
gers owe their lives. Only a few pas
were aboard the local.
The crew on the Eureka train saw
the approach of the Overland just in
time to jump, and escaped injury.
They had just shut off the steam and
applied the airbrakes when the other
train was upon them.
Engineer Leavitt and Fireman Sui
livan stuck to their posts and went
over with the engine.
The impact of the trains colliding
threw both engines off the rails and
turned them completely over. At the
same time the baggage cars on both
trains were thrown over, and the
smoker on one of the trains was also
turned over on it's side.
Nearly every coach on the through
train was thrown off the track.
DR.. w. E. Aughinbaugh of New
York city was a passenger on the
train to Los Angeles and took
charge of the work and di-
rected the others as to the care of the
while he bandaged their
wounds.
