Guess at the Odds.

Small bettors would figure the favor
lite to win and would try to pick an
other to beat tho first choice. This
would result in, heavy play all along
would be hung up it would be found
invariably that the bookmakers would
have laid much smaller price against
the victor In the pari mutuels no
bettor can tell until he cashes what
odds he will get. a So bet sometimes
profits one only 20 cents.
1t has been demonstrated to turfmen
and to turf writer's that in the event
that the pari mutuel system of betting
poolrooms would cease to exist or else
would receive but little play on ac-
count Of short limit prices. Canada
is falling into line with the French
system; Havre de Grace is another
course which is ready to accept the new
method of betting and at Juarez the
machines were used but the Mexican
contingent, preferred playing in the
books. The inauguration headed by
the Bluegrass state is undoubtedly tho
only method to do away with book
makers, but the public would always
rather bet against human Judgment Of
the bookie than put money into the
slot machine,
According to the Kentucky law each
Jockey club In the state rs allowed TO
take out 5 per cent of the money
wagered as it's share Of the profits. A
small per cent of the amount allowed
the jockey clubs goes toward main
tanning the racing commission and in
cideutal expenses. After the .substract-
ing of the 5 per cent the amount
played on the winning horses is then
prorated among those holding winning
tickets. The money wagered on the
winners, place and show horses is kept
separate. At each track there is post
ed immediately after a race the num-
Der Of tickets sold so that bettors may
compute the prices for themselves, and
in case Of mistake on the part Of the
Jockey club it can be rectifed. An
other feature Of the new method OF
wagering is that if you fail to win

sums.
Few poolrooms have made much
money in the last few years. but the
handbooks, whose patrons are often
women or children, are vastly profit
able.-
During the race meetings in Ken
tucky the few poolrooms, which exist
in Louisville, are not open and the
wagers made on horses running at any
OF the four tracks must be small ones
or else the bookieso refuse them. r.
j.. Carmau, the wealthy New Yorker,
who owing such horses as Meridian,
Bonnie Kelso, The Turk, Feather Dus-
ter, Campeon and number Of other
good ones has reaped big rewards, it Is
said through poolroom operations. He,
like other owners. when they had a
horse up which had good chance to
win, would lay their wagers in pool
rooms all over the country. This nat
urally would cut big figure in the
prices.

Terrible Accident by Electrical
Voltage.

NOltaSe.
Two men are dead and one
badly injured as the result of one
of the worst tragedies in this
section for several years. Ray
mond Freeman, Walter Burbank
and E. V. Cook were the recip.
tents of an electrical shock about
$50 Monday morning which in.
stantly killed the former two.
Cook was thought to be in a very
serious condition for some time,
but according to latest reports
he is doing nicely and will e
cover. Freeman and Cook were
cleaning sand out of a we'll on
the E. V. Cook ranch, six miles
from Lindsay, and Burbank had
voluntarily came over from a
field where he was irrigating to
assist them. The well is located
about fifteen feet from the high
tention wire of the Mt. Whitney
Power and Electric company.
Freeman was in the pit and the
other two men on the surface;
the pipe had been pulled about
fifty feet out of the ground, al
though it is not known whether
they are raising or lowering it
when it fell over and across the
wires, sending a charge of $500
volts into the workings. Free.
man and Burbank were instantly
killed, the former being badly
burned about the legs. while Mr..
Cook retained his presence of
mind and succeeden in getting
the attention of men working in
a nearby field and then directed
them to the boy in the pit. Some
men working nearby on the San
Joaquin sub station were then
summoned and with the aid of a
2x4 the pipe was knocked from
the wire. Will Kelley, who was
passing, was then hailed and a
call sent to Lindsay for a physi'
clan, DR.. Tourtilott answering
the summons. Owing to some
phone trouble, an artificial res
piration machine, belonging to
the Mt. Whitney company and
kept at Visalia, did not arrive at
the scene of the accident until
several hours afterward, althoghh
it made the run from Visalia to
the ranch, a distance of over
twenty. five miles, in less than
thirty minutes. This machine,
however, was of no use as both
Freeman and Burbank were dead
long before it arrived. The bodies
we're brought to Lindsay that
noon, and an inquest was held al
400 o'clock. The jury, consist
ing of Chas. Burr. j. W. Evans
Robert E. Eddy, A. N. Green
Elmer Fish, S. A. Baggs and A
L Evans, rendered a verdict O
accidental death.
Walter Burbank, the older o
the two, is the son of Mr.. an(
Mrs. G. FL. Burbank. who with
Mansfield mirror. (Mansfield, Wright County, Mo.) 1908-1957, 1913-07-17

brother in Pasadena are the sur.
viving relatives in California.
The body will be kept for about
a week, owing to the fact that
Mrs. Burbank is in Massachu
sets and will not arrive in Lind
say until that time. Funeral
services, it is expected, will take
place Wednesday morning at the
Baptist church.
Raymond Freeman, aged II,
was a bright young man well
known in Lindsay, being a mem
Der of the junior class of the high
school. He leaves to mourn his
loss, besides a host of young
young friends, a father and
mother, Mr.. and Mrs. W. p.
Freeman, Orville, a brother, and
two sisters. Funeral services
were held Tuesday afternoon at
1:30 at the Baptist church, Rev.
j. N. Hoover officiating. The
largest congregation that ever
rttended a funeral in the Baptist
church was present. Interment
followed in the Olive cemetery.
This poem in memory of Ray
mOnd Freeman was written by
j. N. Hoover and used in his fun .
eral Grafton:
1t wos morning in midsummer,
Not a cloud was in the sky;
When the Angel came for Raymond
And bore him to the home sublime.
Twas in a moment least expected,
Twas in the twinkle of an eye
That he fell, all unprotected.
With no II near to say good bye.
Went he out that fair morning,
As he had in other days;
Just to do his part of earning,
just to bear his theaves away.
He was loving, obedient, gentle,
Honest, forgiving and true;
U%nassuming, earnest, loyal,
And to sin he bid adiea.
Why his life on earth was ended
In the bloom of young manhood,
Is a question We dare not enter,
For it cannot be understood.
Oh, We miss elm, how we miss him,
In the home and eAerywher;
An we long for thot dear meeting
In the home just ove there.
Lindsay, Cal, Gazette, June 81.

reason that it seemed to be taken
pretty well for granted that under no
circumstances would the senator be a
candidate for denomination. In fact.
the senatorial talk centered largely
around the name of E. L. Philip, while
the name most mentioned as a posi-
bility for the gubernatorial nomination
was that of State Senator Whitehead.
There were intimations, also, that if the
conservative republicans of the state
really desired Mr.. Whitehead to enter
the field as a gubernatorial candidate.
he would be willing to enter politics
again. No one, however, seemed to be

to whether E. L. Philip would be will

honors.

BENNETT BALKS

Commissioner Says North Canaan
 Can't Build Two Pieces of Road.
 The town of North Canaan will have to call another special town meeting to act on the good roads matter that was supposed to have been settled at the last special, when It was voted to expend $5.0OO on two pieces of road-the Clayton road from Benedict's corner, and the Canaan Valley road from Henry O.. Stevens's.
 Selectman Reel says Highway Com missioner Bennett absolutely refuses to consider any proposition to divide that part of the appropriation for two separ- ate roads. That attitude leaves the town no other course than to hold an. other meeting and decide which one of the two pieces of road in question shall receive the benefit of the appropriation. This will provide another opportunity for discussion that may forfeit, for the tune being, any road improvement at all.

Fine Display of Gifts

If the custom of printing lists of wed. ding presents in the newspapers had not gone out of fashion, years and years ago, the enumeration of gifts received at the wedding of MT.

It was a rich and varied display of valuable remembrances and included everything useful, practical and ornamental, from several gifts of money, to COW and pig, linen, furni- ture, silverware. cut glass, pictures, cutlery, books, etc, all of which attested the high esteem in which the popular young couple are held by their friends.
