Applegarth of the Polytechnic Hiriers,
by long odds the greatest sprinter that
England has developed in the last dec
ade. is under suspicion as to his anna
teur standing, and it is pretty well
known fact that the officials of the
Amateur Athletic Association are Sc
riously considering starting something
in Applegarth S direction. Applegarth
is messenger by profession and as
such he is supposed to draw down a
very small stipend. Despite this fact,
since he has become prominent as an
athlete APP legarth has been ALE to be
away from his work great deal aud
has become nearly as famous As u tour
list in England and St OF and as has Set-
Rotary Bryan in this country.
In England athletes are not allowed
10 accent ear fare expenses from the
promoters of athletic games, and the
English officials are considering asking
Applegarth where he gets the money
to do so much travelling. The British

7. One of the school houses in Liber-
ty township burned last night or
early this morning. 1t is supposed
the building was set on fire by a
tramp who was seen in that vicinity
last evening and the authorities are
looking for him. He wore a tan hat
and grey overcoat and is a man Of
medium height and weight, with
sandy complexion and beard. It is
thought he entered the school house
to find warm place for the night
and built too hot fire in the stove.
The school house was in district
No. /, and nothing will be done con-
corning a new building until spring.
The children from this district will
