HOW CHICAGO VIEWS The
JDAREz RACING CAME
Crookedness of Daily Habit
Is Plainly Charged by
Chicago Paper.

A special dispatch to the Chicago
Inter Ocean from Juarez, Mexico, dated
December 81, says: Gutenberg. in its
palmiest days, never witnessed such a
display of crookedness rs is witnessed
daily at the race track here. Unmind-
full of the fact that the federation of
Just such practices as these killed the
racing game at every important center
in the United States. and drove these
men who are fostering the game across
the border. they are clearly acting up
on the hypothesis that their 20 years
concession from the Mexican govern
ment is a concession to rob the public
with absolute impunity, and notwith-
standing the fact that the public, and
the public alone. is what supports the
game. their motto plainly is "The pub
lie be id" If the public chooses to
stand for it. well and good.
The Juarez raw deals this season
have been numerous. Here are few
samples of what we had handed to US
during the past week:
On December % the horse Noon, car
rying 104 pounds started in q cheap
field and was beaten 10 lengths in q
mile run in 1:401-5. The odds quoted
showed a steady frightening On De-
cember IS this same horse, carrying loo
pounds, getting off absolutely last and
meeting with much interference, was
beaten one-half length in q mile run in
1888 3-5- On this day every one that
bets on horses in Chicago knows that,
for some mysterious reason. every one
was betting on this horse. On Deem
Der 29 this same horse started again
with a cheap field, was quoted at to
In the betting (his odds had been Is
to 1 the previous start and was beat
en- seven lengths in a race in which
the time for the mile is given as 1:40.
To square such running as this it is
only necessary for the trainer to say
that the horse went lame or broke
down. No investigation.
Another, case is the horse Clint Tuck
er. This horse can run six furlonEs on
the Juarez track in lib with say, 10
pounds. easily. On December % he won
six furlongs race in I:13 3-5, carry
dope sheet gives it. On this occasion
his odds opened at 5 to I. and closed
to 2. On December &c this same
horse, carrying 1I2 pounds and quoted
at l TO in the betting, was beaten
four lengths by a lot of old cows To
make ii look reasonable, however, the
association obligingly hung out the
time of the race as 1913. The race was
won by Gene Wood. who never ran a
three-fourths' mile race in his life in
lib, and probably never will On De-
cember 20 this same Gene started again
and with one pound more weight was
beaten eight lengths in 1:13 3-5, and
the strange thing about it is that the
bookmakers who had seen him win in
1:lS 90 only three days before laid
to 1 against him. But getting back
to Clint Tucker, on December 80 Clint
again faced the barrier and with odds
OF ID TO 1 against him beat a good
field of horses in a seven eighths' mile
race run in 1:25 1-5, and in which the
fractional rime for the three fourths is
given as ZIP Is. The instances of
crookedness cited are only samples Of
day.

Another Near Fire.

Last Thursday evening, near five
o'clock, fire broke cut in the Nelson
Fur. Co.'s warehouse, adjoining their
store. and just in rear ofthe Kardell
and Ennter drug stores and the pool
room. The warehouse was full of
furniture, collins, shelving, boxes
et&., and it looked for a time as if
the, occupants of the Woods Block
would have to v~acate, but the build
ing being an ironclad, and the bucket
brigade responding promptly, the
fire was soon under control. The
loss on stock was about $3.50. 90, no
insurance. This is another strong
plea for waterworks.

THORSBY MADE
 SHORT BERRY CROP

Thorsby, May 0.-(Special.) 1.-The straw berry crop of Thorsby is practi- cally all gathered, the season lasting only four weeks this year, has been the shortest in the history of the business but the prices obtained have averaged better than ever before and will ,un- doubtedly net the growers enough to make receipts equal to an average year
 Dr. A. M. Woolley has bought one of the Michigan avenue residences from J. F. Peterson, and also has purchased the drug store from A. K. Horn, who will devote his time to his duties as president of the Union State bank, formerly the Thorsby Savings bank of Thorsby, Jemison and Maplesville.
 J. A. Veil and J. F. Peterson have dissolved partnership in tho poultry business, MT. Peterson retaining the plant and half the stock. and MT. Well with over 500 thoroughbred chickens going to the Telafson place, half mile west of Thorsby. where he has put up a poultry farm on his own ground, hav- ing bought the farm fromfMr. Telafson. MT. Well had a very disagreeable ex- perience before he was fairly settled in his new home, some one having caused the death of his valuable Great Dane dog by feeding 1t meat filled with pounded glass-possibly the person had an eye on the chickens.
