7 Horses Lost in Fire
As Lincoln Downs
Prepares 10 Open
By the Assoeioted Pres,

LINCOLN. r. l., Mar. 12.-
Seven race horses died last
night in a stable fire at the Lin
coin Downs race track. Five of
them perished in their stalls.
The other two were shot because
of the severity of their burns.
The blaze for a time threat
ened the entire stable area where
500 horses are quartered, but
f1refghters from 10 communi-
ties were able to confine the
flames to the structure which
housed S3 horses.
Track employees led most of
the horses out of the burning
barn. Some others broke out
and roamed wildly.
The horses were identified to-
day as:
Little Buch, owned by Walter
Ray of Anson, Me. and one of
the stable of Robert McKeever
of Boston.
Good Story, NICOLA, Flat Not,
Style, Marie Eileen and John
c. c., all from the stable of Ed
Melancon. These horses had
arrived only yesterday from New
Orleans.
Gordon S. Morrow, racing sec
retary. said the horses represent
a total loss of 100000.
Value of the barn that was
lost was estimated at S25,G00.
/ Marie Eileen and John C. C.
were released from the flaming
stable, but had been so badly
burned that they were destroyed
by the track veterinarian, DR..
Edward L. Cole.
Cause of the fire still was I'm
determined today.
The fire was discovered soon
after 6 pm. by Charles Northup,
special officer of the Lincoln
Police Department. A watch
man had passed the barn a few
minutes before and had seen
nothing amiSs.
B. A. Dario, managing director
of the track, said Lincoln Downs
will open the New England horse
racing season as scheduled Sat-
urday.
Kenneth DeWors, a barn boy,
was overcome by smoke while
leading some horses to safety.
He was revived and taken to
Pawtucket Memorial Hospital.
| Trainer Art Deshong OF
Omaha suffered heart ailment
while assisting at the fire and
was taken to the same hospital
Trackmen said Deshong lost five
horses in fire in 1948, the year
Lincoln Downs opened.
Leon Barrio, 38. of New York
City suffered minor burns on the
face while riding a horse to
safety.

Stables Fast Filling
After Horsemen End
Tanforan Boycott
BY the AsSeeiofed Press

SAN BRUNO, Calf, Mar. 12.-
Vantoad after vanload of race
horses streamed toward the Tan
foran track today following set
tIement of a horseman's boycott
over purse distribution.
Tanforan's 1850 stables-only
one-fourth occupied on the first
two days of the meeting-began
filling as members of the Horse
mems Benevolent and Protective
Association shipped horses from
Santa Anita. which ended its
season Saturday.
The dispute was settled yes
terday.
Guarantee Accepted.
HorSemen-who d e m n d e d
purses totaling 40 per cent of the
tracks take from pari-mutuel
wagering plus breakage-agreed
to these terms:
A track guarantee in purses of
between $1,080,00O and $1,097,-
600, depending on breakage, plus
$4,000 for every million dollars
Wagered over an anticipated $32
million total handle for the As
day meeting.
That proposal, made by Dwight
Murphy, State Racing Board
chairman, then was accepted by
Eugene Mori, Tanforan presi-
dent.
Plan 40 Per Cent Demand.
The purse dickering had been
termed a forerunner of demands
to be made throughout the coun-
try. However, after it was set
tied, HBPA spokesmen said only
that they would make a 40 per
cent demand at all California
tracks, and hoped to get similar
purses elsewhere.
Horsemen generally were jubi-
liant.
C. Ray Robinson, attorney for
the HBPA, told newsmen:
I'VE aren't supposed to talk
about this. But, if you figure it
up, we got the 40 per cent al
most to the penny"
Leading jockeys who observed
the horsemen's boycott will be-
gin riding soon. During the first
two days of racing, only 16 jock
eys accepted mounts, and many
of them we're from the county
fair circuit.

AS VOTERS WAIT

When unexpected numbers turn
ed out to vote in Tuesdays cleo
ton throughout the county, bal
lots soon were exhausted in sew
eral precincts and county Board of
Election members hurriedly or
dered additional ballots.
With the exception of Catawba
Island where some voters report
edly went home before the fresh
supply Of ballots arrived, all per-
sons who applied at voting booths
voted Tuesday although many had
to wait until more ballots could be
printed and rushed to the polls.
Evidence that more ballots
would be needed in Salem, Carroll
and Allen Townships was seen
shortly before noon, and all facil-
tiles of The Ottawa County News
print shop were pressed into ac-
ton during the emergency. Later
in the afternoon, it was necessary
to print more ballots for Harris
and Catawba Townships and for
Port Clinton's Ward 4.
AS the state statute authorizes
the county board of elections to
have only 10 per cent more ballots
printed than in the last guberna-
torial election but permits some
leeway in its survey clause, the
board was limited in its authority
to order enough ballots and had
no indication that a big vote
would be forthcoming in these
precincts
