Of the sixth race at that track, were
boosted from to to 20 even as
high as 40 to !.
Hand bookmakers here and at the
suburbs Of Ehglewood and Littleton,
reluctantly admit that they lost heav-
lily on the race, and many of the local
bookmakers today refused to pay bets
on the race. Two Of them. it is said,
have been forced to go out Of business.
According to one local bookmaker,
the odds apparently were changed be-
fore post time, and the "boost" from
to to 20 to does not seem to
have caused suspicion, II the wire
was tapped, the post odds were held
back, and the false odds sent out. Then
the plunge was made, and as the tip
on the horse apparently was general,
nearly every bookmaker found in Den

There are 361 tracts to be sold in
Lincoln county, and the three weeks
from December Is to January /, in
elusive. have been assigned to that
county. The present plan is to sell
ten tracts the first day fifteen the
second and twenty day after that.
All Of the lands to be sold at this
time are common school indemnity
lands, and the proceeds will go into
the common school fund. It was the
desire of the department to sell the
indemnity lands as quickly as possible,
because Of the fact that they lie in
large tracts. leaving practically no tax
able lands in the townships and school
districts where they are located.
All of the indemnity lands will be
sold, then probably the new college
lands. which also lie in large tracts to
considerable degree, and probably
