Cedar Falls, Feb. 14.-Despite efforts
to keep the price secret, it has leaked
out here that the recent sale Of a
Cedar Falls race horse, Mignola, a
trotting stallion with mark Of 2:10,
to Pittsburgh millionaire, involved
$4,000, the highest price paid for an
Iowa horse for many years. The sale
has revived old memories in western
trotting circles.
The horse was, owned jointly by
Allen brothers, Of Cedar Falls, who
have big stable here, and Joe Heath :
er of Indianola. He was sold to
Trainer R. w. Wright, of Pittsburgh,
who represented one of the leading
patrons Of the racing sport in the
smoky city. pr
Mignola was shipped to Indianapolis,
Ind, where Wright lis wintering his
stable, and it is reported he will be
used as a matinee horse next summer

Harry =: Hopper. of Hopper Farm In
dianola, the big establishment now dis
continued. Mr.. Heather was it's super
intendent, and when Mr.. Hopper re-
tired from breeding, Mignola passed to
him. The horse then had a record OF
2:16A, made in 1914. when he was
raced for Hopper by Trainer James
Hogan. Mignola had looked like a SEN
sation, but had the misfortune to sc
wrong in race at Galesburg, ILL.,, in a
heat just following one in which
Sienna, 2:06A had barely beaten him
in 2:07A. His injury was to hind
ankle, and he was SO badly crippled
that it was weeks before he could be
shipped home, and it was thought tina;
he would nevsr race again.
Purchased For Small Sum.
Owing to his condition, Heather OBJ
tanned him from Hopper for a small
sum. Every effort wasFmade to make
the horse whole once more. At length
his trouble seemed overcome and he
was replaced in training but Shove

Des Moines, Feb. 14.-That the SEN

want to go too far in temperance legis-
lation was indicated yesterday in its

ment which took the teeth out of one

and also in the adoption Of Senator
Wilson's bill providing that only GER
tain authorized officers can institute
search warrant proceedings. It is ap-

temperance among the senators are
afraid of too strict regulation and thus

ment for prohibition when it comes up

was adopted in an amended form yes
