NO NEW PRIMARIES FOR T. R

Justice Maddox. In the Supreme
Court, Brooklyn. to-day struck . blow
At the supporters OF Col. Roosevelt by
refusing TO erant the application for
new primaries in four Brooklyn Assem-
oily districts. The applications were
based mainly on the fact that In the
distribution Of primary ballots a num-
Der Of polling places were neglected
and the vote was consequently much
smaller than II should have been.
Justice Maddox held that In order to
have y new primary charges OF fraud
In the original primary must be sub
stantiated. No fraud was charged In
the applications before him. he said.
and error In distributing ballots did
not constitute sufAcient cause Tor the
court to order new primaries.

DRAGGED TWO
MILES BY HORSE
Lassoed a Horse to His Neck
And Animal Ran
Away.

jamestown, N. D.. April 10.-Bump-
ing over stones and the neven sides
of steep cliffs. George Clark. a young
man of this city, was dragged yester-
day afternoon by a rope tied securely
to n of his arms and about the neck
of a frightened runaway horse.
Young Clark and others were enjoying
an outing on the bluffs some distance
from the city and while enjoying
themselves unhitched and unharness-
ed the horse which Clark tied about
the neck and attached the other end
of the long rope to his own arm. The
horse became frightened and when 1t
jumped and pulled the rope taut
about its neck it started at full speed
for town. Clark kept his feet and
tried to unite the rope. but soon lost
his footing and was dragged like u
dead body behind the animal. The
horse ran for two miles and a half
before it was stopped at the outskirts
of the city.
When the animal was quieted
Clark got to his feet and united the
rope from his arm without assistance,
although his face and body was q
mass of cuts and bruises. He was
taken to a nearby house and later
hurried to u hospital where, it is de-
clared, he had suffered no internal
injuries. The flesh on one arm is
scraped away to the bone.
