Wesley Thompson returned last
week from Latonia, KY, where on July
10-11, an enormous amount of run
ming horses cOntended in some excel
lent races. Mr.. Thompson was ac-
companied by w NJ. Paul of Ridgeway
and they saw among other things, a
2-year-Old race in which five furlOngs
were made in one minute, fiat. yves"

mare named Ollie MCGEE, which shows
much promise On Friday of last
week he left for Rockwell City, Iowa,
taking Dixie Gem and Ollie MCGEE
with him.
Joseph Mccoy started Sir Conan
Doyle, the famous 7-year-old gelding,
at Sun Prairie this season on July 4.
Sir Conan won over a classy field Of
horses making the three last winning
heats in 1914 1914 and Is fiat.
At La Crosse on July Is, Sir Conan
Doyle won the PA pace. There were
II entries, only half of them starting.
Sir Conan was second in the first two
heats and won the last three in 1914,
II and 20. He has heat record over
half mile track of 2:13A which he
made last season at Chippewa Falls.
His race record Of 2:14A was made
at Platteville last year Sir Conan
has only missed being in the money
in one race since Mr.. Mccoy acquired
him four years ago. W. B. Dyer is
driving him and he races at Sparta
this week. Mr.. Dyer is working out
about ten head of horses at the Lam
caster track this summer, getting them
in shape for the racing season.
Mr.. Dyer is training a fve-year-Old
gelding named Dr. Mckinney, owned
by Fred Berg of Madison. He also has
trotter owned by Al. Pelletier of
Madison and Dick Hurst, horse own
ed by a Platteville man
Donna D, the Ellie DObson PAGER,
is in Mr.. Dyer's hands and she will
probably be entered at the Lancaster
races this year.
Dyer e Wright e Co., opened the
season with Rob Roy, 2:05A, at Val
ley City, S. d., where they took Sec
ond money. They go next to Fargo,
Grand Forks, and expect to be at Bos-
cobel on Aug. 8. Dyer e Wright have
also the three Bin Jolla colts which
they purchased last winter, and Mr..
Dyer has some other fast horses
which he may not enter this year.
With a continuance of the present
warm weather it looks like "The
Sport of Kings" will be followed most
enthusiastically this season

years. That in case the graduate
should leave school for any reason or
be incapacitated by sickness for more
than six months, the income should
again revert to the high school to be
apportiOned in a like manner on the
following graduation day. That this
sum be placed in perpetuity and grant
ed under the terms mentioned every
four years. These sections become OPP
erative upon the appointing Of trustees
by the county court and the establish
ment of the trust funds. Mr.. Marsden
asked that in case two graduates
should tie for the bequest the prefer
ence be given to the poorer child.
This, however, is left to the judgment
of the school principal.
EndOws Public Park.
The last and largest bequest is
perhaps the most startling. Mr.. Mars
den left all the balance of his estate
to be placed in the hands of three trus-
tees. One-half of this sum is to be
used for the purchase of tract of
land near Fennimore. This tract Of
land is to be converted into a public
park or playground.
The remaining one-half of the es-
tate is to be placed at interest and the
income used to maintain and beautify
said park. That such park is to be
free to the public for all time.
Known as "MarSden Park"
Mr.. Marsden asked that the trustees
study the play grounds and park sys-
TENS Of Chicago and as near as pos
sible, adapt and operate the park in
a similar manner. That the park be
known as 'Marsden Park" in honor
of its founder. 1t is stipulated that
the court appoint an administrator
of the estate and that he consult with
Henry w. Brown, who is cognizant Of
Mr.. Marsden's wishes and desires. So
it closes.
Life Sad One.
The life of William Marsden was a
sad one Mr.. Marsden desired his for
tune to go to his children and grand
children, should any be born, but fate
ruled otherwise He had 5 children, all
of whom, with his wife, preceded him
in death. George and Anna were killed
in an Iowa cyclone. A son, Will, died
Of pneumonia, while still young
man. Frank, cashier at one time of
the State Bank of Fennimore, fell a
victim of tuberculosis. John, the last
son, died one year ago of heart fail
ure. The only living relatives are
nephews and nieces, none of whom
are mentioned in the will.
Estate About 100000.
Mr.. Marsden was we'll off before his
children died, and it is said that each
of them was in comfortable or aff1uent
circumstances. In each case their es-
tates reverted to Mr.. Marsden. The
estate is estimated around 100000 and
it will be divided as outlined above.

afternoon on a charge of having il
licitly sold liquor in Montfort on July

tried some time this summer.
TWO BeIated Cases.

ton butcher, appeared in court yes
terday and pleaded guilty to a charge
made by State Food Inspector George
H. Eigenberger, that he had sold meat
not fit for food and had not kept his
premises in a proper sanitary condi-
ton. Guentzelman paid a fine Of $25
and costs amounting to $3.50.

Vile brewery, charged with having
sold liquor in a dry territory, asked
through his attorneys, L. 0. Brunck-

Not only are geese more cheaply and
easily fed than other poultry, but they
have several other advantages in their
favor. They require little in the way
of buildings. A low. cheap shed to
shelter them from severe storms and
to provide nesting place is sufficient.
They suffer little from disease. They
require less care and attention than
other poultry. The breeding stock does
not require renewing so often.
In raising geese, however. it is adj
visable to confne the goose and her
brood until the goslings are few

PROFIT IN RAISING
GEESE ON The FARM

A California man who says he can
sell geese for $3.50 each wishes to
know the details of raising them,
writes correspondent Of the Country
Gentleman. He asks whether they
must be mated in pairs. each pair
penned separately and whether it is
necessary to have a pond to insure
proper mating and fertile eggs. He
has good grass range. therefore has
the most essential factor. for be it re-
membered that the goose is grazing
animal and an abundant supply of
grass in summer and succulent feed in
winter not only insures thrifty. vigor-
GUS stock and eggs with stronger
germs and higher fertility. but cheap
ems the feeding materially.
So far as 1 know. nowhere are geese
raised in such large numbers on single
farms as are ducks and chickens. In
many of the states. especially in the
west and in Canada. they are raised
on stock and grain farms at very lit
tie cost, because after the goslings are
q few days old 'they can get large
part of their feed by grazing.
Many a small farmer. especially It
he has low. wet land. is in a position
to net a tidy sum by raising and fat
tening geese at minimum of ex-
pense and labor.
The old notion that geese are monog-
amous and paired for life is myth.
The ganders will mate with two or
three or even more geese. have seen
