features, nor his strong, decisive voice
betrayed excitement. He was examined
by Sylvester II. Rush of Omaha, the
special assistant to the United States
attorney general, in general charge Of

name. residence and business.
Then in answer to the questions put
by the attorney, Simpson said he had
been acquainted with Ed Ellis, known
in the Mabray transactions as ED

known for five or six years. He had

writing.

Simpson was then asked to examine
the Mabray loose-leaf memorandum
and the envelopes containing records of
swindles. He identified the handwrit-
ing of Ellis, HERMAN and Brown in
these records qualifying each identih-
cation with the phrase, "to the best of
my judgement"
One of the envelopes identified con-
tanned the record of the Secrest swim
die given above.

which all the "steerers" now on trial
were indicted.
From the testimony of Simpson it
appeared that Ellis wrote most of the
Mabray records, but that some of them

testimony, the attorney for the defense
asked for time to examine the records

N. & N. STAKE
TOOAY's FEATURE
Dude Archdale h Picked To Win
Rich Classic at State Fair Grounds
This Afternoon.

STATE FAIR GROUNDS, Aug. a.
This IL the big day In the Blue Rib
bon harness meeting and tremendous
crowd collected at the State Fair
grounds early In the afternoon to wit
ness the M. & M. stake, together with
the other events scheduled for the
Grand Circuit program.
The spectators came on street cars
and In automobiles and at 1880 1t was
estimated the attendance would break
all the records Of previous years.
Everywhere, one name was uttered
above that OF every other-Dudie
Archdale. The classic seldom has had
an entrant that the public thought SO
sure of winning.
Dude Archdale, q plain looking lit
tie mare. did not impress much by
her appearance. She does not look
the sleek thoroughbred. Her record
this year, however, Is directly oppo-
site from her looks. Over In Terre
Haute three weeks ago she entered a
stake event and ran OF with three
heats easily.
In the $4,000 event at Grand Rap
ids she repeated as q winner, being
driven by her, owner because Pop
Geers was injured. She lost one heat,
but took the others In 2:06 IA. 2:06 IL
and 2:08 3-4, her first winning heat
equalhng the record for the M. & NJ.
Geers having won the c. of c. with
The Able on Tuesday, is more than
anxious to drag down the big trotting
event with the Archdale mare.
Conditions were almost perfect for
fast time being made this afternoon.
The track was fast and there was but
little breeze to hamper the speeders.
The Detroit ball club occupied re-
served seats in the stand through the
courtesy Or the Detroit Driving club
and many OF the Boston men were on
hand. The ball game had been called
off SO that fans could see the horses.

DISCHARGES men,
LOCKS UP TOOLS

Former Aid. A. F. Gadde, OF the Six
teenth ward, who was fired from his
lob of road boss by Commissioner j.
]. Haarer for inefficient work, took
revenge on the department by lock
ing up all the tools in his barn, dis
charging the men and retaining the
time book.
Gadde was notified that Clarence
Gessler, who has been experimenting
the ID. u. r. paving, would succeed
him, Wednesday morning. Tuesday
afternoon, Gadde went to the city
treasurer's Office and drew his pay
and that of his son, telling Pay Gle
George Courville that he needed the
money for immediate use, and that
he would turn the book into the ID,
|P. w. pay roll clerk. This he did not
do, and the department has no means
OF knowing how much to pay It's men.
When Gessler went to take charge
of the work, he found that the men
had all been discharged, Going TO
Gadde's home, where the tools were
stored, he found the barn locked
Gadde apparently had gone on a fish
ing excursion.
Supt. Aldrich stationed a man al
the barn to wait for Gaddes return
and commenced search for trace OF
him, but up to noon he had not been
found. Corporation Counsel Hally told
Aldrich that he would be justified In
breaking open the barn to got tho
tools.
