TRAINER OF DARGIN
AMONG Wise ONES
Busy HOrseman Receives Six
Youngsters From Schreiber'S
Woodland Ranch

Trainer c. j.. Casey, to whom Barney
Schreiber consigned his Emeryville
string a few months ago, is. compara-
lively. another of the young ones in
the business. but he is numbered among
the wise ones. He had Dargin ready
on his first start, saw him lose one
of his bad races and had added to wins
to his list of Latonia victories.
Casey is one of those busy, born
horsemen who like lots to do and he
is more than tickled with the shipment
of six head from Schreiber's ranch at
Woodland. In the lot is Green Dragon,
year old that ran second to Flying
Squirrel in his first start at Los Ange-
les. Another, by, Sain out of Revoke,
is a handsome, big quartered fellow
and is said 70 look very much like
Nealon. The bay colt W. V. Brumby
looks like he might be ready to race
and run fast.
Besides the 2 year old Fontello,
bought from the Oakwood stock farm
the Salt Lake stable has invested in
a youngster bred by Mrs. p. J. Schwartz
at Woodland. He is chestnut gelding
by Joe Terry out of Maiwells, and the
breeding gives him a right to go some.
Rod MackenZie'S colorS will be seen
here for the first time today when
Fort Johnson hooks up with Arasee
in the handicap and when Kerry Cow
starts in the baby race. Fort john
son beat Arasee in the east in a fast
race in which the Blakeley horse was
in trouble. Kerry Cow is out of
Senorita, MaeKenzie's $4,000 beauty.
When Bedwell takes Shilling back
to Juarez Friday some clever young
ster will have to be selected to take
the wizards mounts here. Jockey A.
Walsh is after the job. and kederis
with his ability and apprentice allow
ance might make good on the dozen
good ones in the string. Bedwell has
not made up his mind.
Vosper viii have the mount today
upon j. II. Barr and Dugan is said TO
be slated to ride Daddy Clip. The race
ought to settle the question as to which
is the best year old on the coast.

Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1910-09-15

Jim Jefries tried hard, but could not
come back. Many other athletes have
also had it proved to them that they
could not keep at the top all the time
or retain the title after remaining idle
for some time. But William A.
Larned, the five time national lawn
tennis champion, has shown that he
can come back. On June %. when
Larned was scheduled to play Gustave
Touchard, he was unable to fill his en-
gagement because of Il strained ten
don. but rather than win the match
by default Touchard agreed to post
pone his match with Larned until the
latter was physically able to play. 1t
was a good act of. craftsmanship on
the part of Touchard. but resulted
rather dis%astrously for him. as the
match was played recently. and
Larned won with ridiculous ease.
Larned also showed his class later by
defeating Maurice e. Mclaughlin. the
nineteen-year-old Californian. who was
picked to win the Metropolitan handi-
cap. This victory gave Larned perma-
nent possession of his third Longwood
trophy. For twenty years he has been
in the game. and today ut forty we
find him as the best lawn tennis PLAYER
in America.

Grabs and HOLSTERS.

There are many curious points about
crabs and Holsters. Every one Of Ell
Their genus is provided with a big
claw for crushing and a small claw
adapted by its shape for cutting as
scissors do. With these two claws
they tear the food they capture into
fragments and feed themselves liter
ally from "hand to mouth" But there
is every reason to suppose that the
claws are intended quite as much for
fighting as for eating purposes. mas

Mice and the Moon.

Certain tribes Of American Indians
have a curious explanation for the
different quarters of the moon. Every
time a new moon appears all the mice
assemble in one spot and march stead
lily eastward. at last climbing up into
the sky. But the trip is so long that
when the mice reach the moon she has
had time to grow round and full.
whereat they at once set to work and
nibble at the noon until she gradually
grows smaller and smaller. and when
she has at last disappeared they
scamper back to earth again.

And while you are looking for a

Helen started. 1t seemed there was
something in these last words that had
an especial meaning for her. They
were standing near the gangway of an
ocean liner among a crowd Of those
who were going on the ship and those
who were going ashore. Joe Baxter
held her hand in his for a momept,
pressed it, looked feelingly into her
eyes. turned and went ashore.

the injustice of the accusation. He

leaving she had made no provision
whatever. so far as he could learn, in
case of her death. She had simply
directed her bankers to send her the
income as it was paid to them as her
agents. 1t would therefore be impos-
sible for Baxter to raise any funds
for her use.
Thirteen days must elapse before he
could reach the place where she had
been last seen. On the steamer he
made the acquaintance of an elderly
American gentleman. to whom he told
the object of his visit to Italy. This
gentleman. Mr.. Alexander, realizing
that Baxter needed to have his mind

The Usaqes Of War.

War is necessarily bad enough un-
der any circumstances. but it's laws
and usages are steadily changing for
the better. In very early times all pris-
oners were ruthlessly put to the sword
or reduced to slavery, and as for the
property rights of the belligerents they
did not exist. In the famous pandicts
of Justinian it is stated without the
least equivocation that an enemy's
property of every description is res
nullius THAT is to say. is without an
owner, and that occupancy. by which
the captor makes it his own. is an in
stitution Of natural law. If things were
as bad as that so late as the time of
J%ustinian what must they have been
