1t may be of interest to horsemen to
learn that the great trotting horse,
General H. who has been burning up
the race tracks in Russia here of late,
and whose picture has appeared in many
of the leading newspapers, was foaled
at Malvern in 1901, property of Ira r.
Hendricks. When a 2year-old colt
he was taken in hand by Theo. Haag
and trained on the Red Oak track. Be
fore parting with the colt Haag had
him making a mile in 2:1S. He was
sold to some men who took him to
Canada and in due course of time he
fell into the hands of Count Ivan Ivan
ovitcf, who belongs to the royal family
of Russia. The count paid $4,000 for
the animal. 50 far Genera, mas shown

c.. A. Wiltse, OF the Roddan Clothing
Company. has full sized mystery on
his hands, one which may result in his
being the owner OF $40 acres of fine
farm land in Canada, but which he has
absolutely 10 knowledge Of He is in
vestigating the matter and expects
soon to have the facts in the case re-
vealed to him. Last spring Clarence
received notice from a government
official at Ednundton. Canada, that the
taxes on his section Of land in that
vicinity. amounting to about s12 were
unpaid. At the time he took little
notice of the letter, supposing it to be
a case Of mistake In name, but few
days ago when he received another let
ter he started the investigation. The
Wiltee family has no relatives Of the
name in this vicinity in fact there are
few of them in the state. The Canadian
official says the land is in the name Of
c. A. wiltse Of Perry, Iowa." and 1t is
1ard to see how an error could occur.
The land is in one OF the richest farm
ing sections of Canada. and is only
about a mile and half from town
and Is worth in the neighborhood Of
$50 an acre.
