One OF the surprises OF the season
In the early trotting meetings which
lead up to the grand circuit has been
the manner IN which amateur drivers,
most OF whom are wealthy business
men, have taken the laurels In closely
contested races from professional
reinsmen.
One OF the notable examples OF this
occurred at the meeting at Grand
Rapids, held last week. when Frank
q. Jones OF Memphis. Tenn, close
business associate of c. X. q. Billings,
climbed into the sulky, after the pro-
fessional veteran Ed Geers. had been
injured, and plotted Dude Archdale TO

straight heats with The Able, full

final heat Mr.. Jones was pocketed at
the last turn but he was equal TO the
emergency. and in a brilliant drive
brought the black son OF Chimes and
Nettie King out and around the field,
winning the heat and the race in

Mr.. Jones Is a millionaire street

SLOW HORSES GET COIN.
Fast Trotters and PAGERS Race TO,
Smaller Purses Than Slow
Glasses.

The faster a trotter or PAGER be-
comes, the less his earning powers
become. Hard luck? Yes, but it's
true. This fact Is verified by the list
OF purses offered by the promoters OF
the Empire City track for the grand
circuit meeting there late next month.
The hree-year-old trotters will race
for $4,000. while the three-year-oid
PAGERS will compete for a stake OF
$1,000. The PIG trotters will have as
an incentive the amount OF 10000
On the other hand, the free.for-all
trotters will have to fight for meager
$1,000. which means that the winner
will get only $3.50. The 2:09 trotters
will divide the same amount and the
2:05 PAGERS are asked to race for the
same amount

Arizona Indian
 Guilty of Perjury

Descendant of one of the longest lines of Indian chiefs in the southwest and himself in line to wear the festb- cred crown as leader of the Pima In dlans, Harry Azul pleaded guilty in in tine federal court this week in Phoe- nix to an indictment alleging perjury.
 Azul's father and grandfather are still alive. and only recently his great. grandfather died, after having passed the century mark. it is claimed. In the history of the Pima tribe, almost all of which Is npwritten, Azul comes from an homo ed line oi Indian chiefs.
 In the tradition of the Pimas, the name of Azul occupies a high place. It dates back to the records left by the Catholic friars, who came into Arizona centuries ago to work among the Indians.
 Azul, his father, grandfather and large numher of relatives make their nome on the SAcaton reservation, anc ther ancestry has lived in Arizona for centuries, of which there is no record exc pt the tradition of the tribe.
 Azups indictment followed testi- moDy he gave few weeks ago at Phoenix during the trial Q; Sam Wer- rick for giving liquor to Indians near Mesa. Azui perjured himself then by denying that any liquor had been sold to Indians. though he was present when the transaction took place. Late. he confessed that he had lied. but claimed that he did not realize that he was offending the law Of the white man.
