SUM WAS PART OF $65,ooo HE SPENT SINCE HE WAS A MAT
 TEAWAN PRISONER.
GOT BACK $14,7OO OF AMOUNT
Prisoners Evidence, at Lawyers Bribery Trial, Accepted as That of Insane Man-Says He
 Was We'll SWindled.

New York, May 17.--Dr. John w. Russell, former superintendent of the Matteawan asylum for the criminal in sane, and Horace A. Hoffman, con f1dential agent for Harry K Thaw, were the principal witnesses at the trial of John N. Anhut, a young law yer charged with offering Russell a bribe to bring about Thaw's release from the institution.
 Thaw, having concluded his testi- mony, was taken back to Matteawan. He testified not only that Anhut had agreed to bring about his release, through Russell, for $25, ,000, but that Dr Russell himself first made the suggestion of his obtaining freedom by the payment of large sum. He conferred with Anhut, he said, not as attorney for himself, but as attorney for Russell
 Counsel for Thaw objected that he was not competent to testify on the ground that legally he was insane, but the court permitted the examination and a rigid cross-eXamination, with the understanding that his evidence be considered as that of an insane person.
 q asked -Anhut if Dr. Russell had settled on something definite" said Thaw, and he said he had, and said the money was much more than l ex- pected to pay, that was not in po- sition where l could pay it."
 Release Efforts Cost $65, ,0oo.
 Under cross-examination. Thaw said that In all he had spent $65.OO0 in ef- forts to procure his release. This sum, he said was exclusive of the expenses of his two trials for the killing of Stanford White.
 T was pretty we'll swindled on my two trials here" Thaw declared. "The costs were something tremendous"
 The witness said that during a con- versation with Anhut the question of raising the money was discussed and that a week later he obtained 40 shares of a gas company stock, valued ct about $20,000, and $5,000 cash from his sister. Mrs. George L. Carnegie.
 Were not the securities to be turned over to Anhut?" Thaw was asked
 "No, they were to be turned over to Dr. Russell. We had arranged every thing before I ever saw Anhut"
 Thaw declared that his agreement with Anhut called for the return of all or part of the $25,000 if he did not walk out of the door of the asylum, or was not released by the court by specified dates. He said Anhut paid back $14,700 of the 5000 January 1, last, when the plan failed.
 Insists Name Is "Henry"
 During cross-examination Thaw ob- jected to being called Harry" saying his name was Henry"
 Are you the Henry K. Thaw who killed White?" the witness was asked
 Yes"
 Did you intend to kill him?"
 This Is a question outside the is- sue, and I refuse to answer"
 Justice Seabury declined to direct the witness to answer.

BIG LEAGUES PLAN
FOR WORLDS SERIES
Games VIII he Played on Alternate
Days if the Games Are to be IN
New York and Philadelphia.


New York. July 17.-AIthough neither
! the American nor the National league
pennant is the property of any par
ticular club as vet Ban johnson and
/ the other members Of the national com
mission are beginning to plan for the
! worlds series of 1913. The American
League executive while here said:
! While the Athletics have a big lead
at present nothing is certain in base
| pail l notice that Mack still is seek
ing pitchers, so I guess I'm safe in
/ saying that he is not yet ready to sit
back and wait for the National league
winners onslaught. Cleveland, WASH
lngton and Chicago are all very much
in the race, strengthening their teams
and ready to take advantage of fine
! letics.
Il have great faith in Frank Chance
and believe he is already building IN
strong club for next year He is a
great acquisition to our league and will
prove his value to the New York club
before the season is completed"
President Johnson also stated that in
case the Athletics and Giants did win
their respective league championships
the worlds series games would be
played on alternate days in New York
and Philadelphia Should the winning
teams be separated by q greater dis
lance of travel than these two cities
then the series would be played two
games at home and two abroad.
Relative to the games, he said that
in the future the worlds series scbed
ule would be adhered to and the tied
game played on the next return to the
city in which it occurred. Hereafter
all umpires in the worlds series will
receive $1,000 each for their work in
accordance with the policy established
after the close of the 1912 play.
According to Johnson interest in the
worlds title play this autumn will be
keener than ever before He said that
applications for series seats already
are being received. One letter upon
which Johnson laid particular emphasis

MADE SUCCESS
Two Young Men Build Up
Fortune on South Dakota
Farm

Summit, Aug. 9-Tbis is a story oil
success dug out with a pick AK. The
men who succeeded were men not &C.
custome ed to handling an AK, they were
city chaps, born and bred, and they
had had no previous farm experience
whatever. They had very little mon.
ey to aid them at the start and they
were not ov~erbuIdened with physical
strength. But to make up for any
qualities of advantages they lacked,
these two young men had some assets
which were better than gold one wa
a good stock of common sense and the
other was perseverance and a deter.
mination to win. But perhaps still
better than anything else and a won
derfully large factor towards their
success was a quiet unassuming gray
haired lady whose council and en-
couragement helped out many a try
ing time-their mother. In 1899,
Arthur BAN berger, then a young man
close to twenty years of age, came
from Chicago and settled on "a quart.I
section of land in Mezeppa township,
Grant county, South Dakota. He did
not know anything about farm life,
he scarcely knew how TO harness a
horse and he had absolutely no knowl-
edge Of South Dakota farm methods.
The quarter section he came to farm
was a formidable task. He had only
two horses Of very ordinary value.
The years following bis coming, 1885,
and 1894. were exceptionally dry one
and discouraged some of the oldes,
settlers but this young Chicago boy
did not falter. BE kept getting the
rocks cut of his land and broke up u
small patch of it. In 1894 his brother
Fred Bamberger, and their mother,
Mrs. Ban berger. followed out from
Chicago. With the two boys working
together things began to look bright
er. They began to learn the secret
OF how to make the hill land yield
up its riches. Nineteen years have
passed since the firm of Arthur and
Fred BAN berger with Mrs. Bamberger
as silent partner. got into running
order and today they own $40 acres
of fertile farm land in Mazeppa
township.
They have oveI 90 head of thorough
bred and graded cattle. Twenty thre,
horses are used OF the farm by them
selves, and their tenants use more.
From a thoroughbred cow they have
sold $t25 in calves in IA months, besides
the value of milk. The Bamberger
brothers are now devoting their ener-
eies toward the production of forage
crops and they are confident of success.

and the constantly increasing vigil
ance and timidity Of the band tend
ing to keep them hardy and in run
ming trim. When finally captured the
horses proved to be smaller than sup
posed, but every one was reduced to
racing flesh, and in the chase none of
the cow ponies could match them in
speed.
The capture was effected by running
the band of its feet, this being done
by relays Of coz ponies. After the
run.hsd been arranged and the point
of approach determined upon, the
chase was commenced, and some idea
as to the desperation with which the
band attempted to evsde capture may
be gathered from the fact that u dis
lance of fifty miles was travefsed in
exactly three houls. A few of the less
hardy animals dropped out, but not
until they were exhausted.
The ground over which the chase
was made consisted Of the breaks
and had lands incident to the emerg-
ing of Arrow and Flat creeks at the
point where they enter the Missouri
river and with the precarious footing
thus afforded many falls by the riders
resulted. Throughout the entire dis
lance the band followed a practice of
racing from one hilltop to another evi.
IDENTIFY endeavoring to secure an advsn
tageous viewpoint. Always in the
lead was a black stallion and it is a
matter OF regret that he did not sur
vive the chase. he became enta- glt d
in a vile fence and had to be shot.
Although the band has been run
ming over ten years few IL any of
the animals we're over seven years of
age the explanation being that the
older ones were killed in the hunts
Of previous years. One taken bore
two rig scars from bullet wounds.
The chase was brought to a close at
a corrall into which all of the horses
were driven and roped. Ten seasoned
riders were employed in the hunt.
Several of the cow ponies were made
practically worthless from overexer-
tion in tie RON.
Immediately after the corraIlng had
been accomplished the task of breaking
the wild horses was begun. While o
few proved too vicious to be conquered
entirely the majority will make ser
vicable riding stock.
