Wichita, Kan, July 16.-Swing Cor
ners, the Hamiltonian mare which
won the Dallas Derby race in 1907,
passed through Wichita last night on
her way back to her home, the Lone

The once speedy mare has seen
hard times since she was sold at the
sheriff's sale in 1908 at Tyler, Tex,
where she fell in a race and caused
her owner. E. w. Parker, to lose a
considerable amount of money She
hurt herself and was kept at a feed
stable, and brought into Oklahoma,
then to Kansas by a fruit tree agent
Last week her former owner, who now
lives in Texas, was notified by Hugh
Marshall, boy who kne,y the mare,
that she was up here. Parker came
at once and bought the old race horse
back and has taken her home. He
says he will not let her go any more.
but will keep her the rest of her life
and feed her well. Mr.. Parker said:
There is a feeling existing between
the horse and myself which cannot be
expressed. am glad to find the horse
and I hope 1 will have the opportun-
ity of keeping her a long time Many
times she has won thousands of dol
lars for me-

BIG BALLOON LOST.
Box Car Storage, It Is Feared, Will
Result in Fire.

Kansas City. July 16.-Along the
Santa Fe railroad, somewhere between
Holiday, Kan, and Kansas City,
boxcar containing the rolled up bag OF
the balloon Kansas City III is side
tracked.
Unless the car with its freight, valued
at 81 1000, arrives in Kansas City today,
or some unforeseen agency prevents
both the silk bag and the boxcar pro-
badly will catch fire and be destroyed.
Oficials of the railroad and of the
Kansas City Aero club are making eV-
erv effort to locate the missing car.
Spontaneous combustion. originating
from the linseed oil with which the silk
bag is coated, results when the bag Il
allowed to remain bundled up three or
four days. The Kansas City III came
down near Holiday last Thursday, al
ter a flight from Kansas City, and has
been in transit since Thursday night.
Through a mistake the. balloon was
sent by freight instead of express from
Holiday. The mistake probably will
result in the destruction of the bal
loon, and may prevent John Watts
from qualifying for his pilot license in

A loss and damage bureau, it was

pose of the new bureau is to super

of losses so that, in cooperation with
shippers, vexatious delays and losses
incident to delay and damage to

minimum. Because of illegible and
improper markings many shipments
go astray and numerous shipments re-
main undelivered by the railroads
