Victim Lost $4,000 on a Fake Race
After Also Holding Real Money.

Jacksonville, Fla.-Simon Jacob
son, of Tarboro, N. c., told the police
that he was swindled out of $4,000
on a fake horse race in St. Augustine
in a manne similar to that in which
Henry Wagner, of New York City,
lost $4,000.
Jacobson, according to his story,
consented to the request of several
men to act as a stakeholder. The
amount given him to hold, he said,
amounted to hundreds of thou
sands" AS his expenses were paid he
put $4,000 in the satchel with the
stake money.
The swindlers bet lavishly on the
race. A jockey fell off their horse
apparently dead.
A fusillade Of revolver shots rang
out, and his acquaintance, shouting
that he had better run for his life,
he turned the heavy satchel over to
them. The Swindlers' parting words
were:

Where Did He Get II!

The people of Ruso should be
proud of the stand their paper,
the Record, has taken for their
favorite son, Col. Moe. We have
spent some time trying to find
where he received his title. We
have looked thru the history Of
the Civil war, Spanish war, and
finally over the record of the Bat
tie of Stinkin Lake of '84 and can
not find his name mentioned. Af-
ter reading the Garrison Indepen-
dent we find that the name has
been spelled wrong and it should
be Kernel and that he was at one
time working in an elevator. We
are sorry we cannot support him
but if we find in some future time
that we have made a mistake while
looking over the records, we may
support him and spell his title
with &C."

As we said at the beginning of

candidate to be the right man for
the Office to which he aspires, we
would support him regardless of
faction or combination. We be-
lieve that Hon. G. A. johnson, who
is out for governor. is man we'll
qualified to fill the Office and is
the man whom the broad minded
voters of the state should send to
the governors chair. Because he
was defeated two years ago by a
bunch of bosses ETC., is no sign
that he is not capable of filling the
office. Mr.. johnson is beyond any
doubt the strongest man the re-
publicans can bring out. Two
years ago at the primaries he car
ried nearly every county in the state
and with larger majority with
him this year, we see no reason
why he will not be elected. Mr..
johnson, you might as we'll say,
is a home man, having been law
yer at Minot for a number of years
and we are justified in saying that
this section of the state is entitled
to just as much recognition as the
eastern or southern part and we
can produce as good if not better
material than they. do. Mr.. John
