GREAT SIRE
Gambetta wilkes, Chief Speed
Producer of Harness Horses,
Dies at Danville.

Gambetta Wilkes is dead. One
of the greatest sires of harness
speed that ever lived died at the
stable of his owners, G. & G. p.
Cecil, in Boyle county, last week.
His death was the result of gen.
eral debility and old age, for he
was 20 years old, and had lived
far past the allotted time for
horses.
AS sire of speed no horse
ever approached Gambetta Wilkes.
Two hundred and twelve standard
performers attest this fact. Stand
aid horses are horses that have
trotted to a record of 2:3O or
paced to a record of 1925. He
sired two hundred and twenty-one
in 2:30 list but nine of them were
PAGERS that went faster than 2:30,
but that could not reach the COW
eted mark of 2:20.
This wonderful horse was by
George Wilkes. His dam was
Jewel, she by Vermont 1O4. Gam
BETA Wilkes was brought to Dan
vile as a three-year-old, by the
Cecil brothers. He took record
of 2:l9f ard then was put at the
head of what he, himself, was
destined to make one of the most
celebrated breeding establishments
in the world.
The chief mourner because of
the death of Gambetta Wilkes is
Paul Helm, a negro hostler, who
for a quarter of a century has
been his groom and daily attend
ant. Old Paul is desolate for he
loved this horse and was his COM
panion in his youth, in his prime
and in his equine dotage.

Robbers Hold Up G. & 0. Crew

While a Chesapeake & Ohio

AS the train crew had only a
day or two before received their
pay, it is supposed the highway
men were after this money. There
is no clew as to the identity ofathe

An excited man rushed into the
General Hospital in Buffalo and
demanded to see his wife, who had
come there for an operation that
afternoon. He said his name was

The hospital authorities could

Hawkins, and there was no record
of such an operation on the books

MRS. CUDAHY
Obtains a Divorce from Her huS-
band for "lnCOmDatihiIity"
of Temper.

A sequel to Jack Cudahy's at
tack on Jere S. Lillis in the Cud-
ahy residence, March 5, last. Mrs.
Cudahy obtained a divorce from
her husband. The decree was
granted b.. Judge James H. Slo-
yer on the grounds of incompati-
bility of temper, ten minutes after
Mrs. Cudahy had filed her petit
ton.
Mrs. Cudahy and her maid,
Elizabeth johnson, were the only
witnesses. TO protect the chill
dren," was the reason given by
the attorneys that no charge other
than incompatibility was made in
the bill.
Immediately after the decree
had been granted, Mrs. Cudahy
left for Chicago with her children.
She will take her children to the
home of their grandparents. 1t is
understood that she will return
to Kansas City to make her
home. Her friends say that she
received the furnishing of the resi-
dence of Thirty-sixth and Walnut
streets.
With the granting of the di-
yorce the rumor that Mrs. Cudahy
would enter vaudeville was re-
vived. She is known to have a
standing offer of $1,000 a week
for thirty weeks.
Mr.. Cudahy was given the right
to visit the children at all reasona-
ole times and places and for such
periods as may be reasonable and
proper.

Repeats Streets feat.

Catcher Billy" Sullivan, of the
Chicago Americans, repeated the
feat of Catcher Charles Street, of
the Washington American League
team, last year, in catching base
ball thrown from window at the
top of the Washington monument,
ii perpendicular drop of 542 feet.
The ball was tossed from the
top of the monument by Pitcher
Ed Walsh, of the Chicago team.
| was only after twenty-three at
tempts that Sullivan finally caught
the ball, although he succeeded
several times in so gauging the
sphere as to get it in his NIT. The
speed of the falling ball was so
terrific, however, that he was I'M
able to hold it. 1t is estimated
that the ball was travelling at the
rate of 161 feet a second when
caught.
Several members of the Chicago
team, including Collins and doc"
White; Trainer Quirk, of the
Washington team and few gov
eminent officials witnessed the
feat. While the feat has been at
tempted many times in past years,
only Street heretofore was able to
accomplish it. His feat was per-
formed during the summer of
1908 upon the thirteenth attempt.

and better than ever. This room
will be located much closer to the
fence separating the paddock from

from the grand stand along side
the betting shed to the paddock
gate. The Improvement Is one OF
the biggest yet undertaken by the

Refused $1,000.

Hans Wagner, Pittsburg's short
stop, lust hates money. 1t leaked
out that the German refused
81 900 to play 10 games of exhi-
bition baseball with Tex. Richards
National League baseball team,
which, with team from the
American League intended to
play exhibition games in 10 diff
erent cities of the country after
the close of the regular season.
Rirkard first wrote Hans that
he would give him 500. The
German refused to consider the
offer. Then Richard wrote some
thing like this:
MY Dear Wagner: will boost
that figure to $1,000. Will you
play in my backyard. Yours,
Rick"
In the last letter Richard offered
to give Wagner a certified check,
which was to have been delivered
on August 20. The shortstop re-
fused the money.
According to the figures offered
Wagner would have drawn about
S1.0O a minute. He turned it
down. Can you beat it?

ABNER WAS WARNED.
"We've Come to Kill YOU" SAID
Man Who Then Shot Him.

The killing of John Abner at
jackson Monday night apparently
was witnessed by only one person
other than the assassins them
selves. and that was Barron Miller,
who was with Abner at the time
he was killed.
Abner had come to jackson
from his home during the after
noon and was walking down the
street toward the river bridge, be-
tween the store of NJ. ). Cain and
the malt mead stand of Govan
Smith, accompanied by Barron
Miller. one of his friends, when he
was called to by two men.
Abner started to the men, leav-
inc Miller some twenty feet away,
and when within about ten feet of
the gate he was told by the men
that they had come to kill him.
They fired three shots into AbnerS
body and he fell in the street and
died instantly. One of the shots
took effect in the right lung and
two in the left thigh.
No one was about or near the
place of the shooting except Mil
Ter and the men who did the
shooting. who made their escape
without being observed by anyone.
Miller did not recognize either of
the men.
Some criticism of the authorl-
ties was heard for their failure to-
give immediate chase to the
criminals, but the night was very
dark and their capture would
have been impossible at that hour.
Many heard the shots but moth
ing was thought of the matter, as
such noises are common in Jack
son, and but few knew of the
tragedy until the following morn
ing. Practically no alarm was
given at the time except to sum-
mon medical aid, which was of no
avail, as Abner had died instantly. |
Captain V. G. Mullikin return
ed from Jackson Tuesday evening
and reported that he had met with |
no success in trailing the muir
derers of Abner on account of the |
fact that many persons had been |
allowed to 60 about the scene of
the murder. Captain Mullikin |
started his dogs at the place the
assassins were supposed to have
been and finally they picked up
cent, but it only led to a house
where "a woman lived. The dogs
were tried again, but were unable /,
to find another clue.
Captain Mullikin stated that the
authorities suspect three men of |
completely in the murder, two of |
them having left the town shortly !
before Captain Mullikin arrived.
