ihe Shamrock's Topmast Was Unable to Endure the Heavy Strain. COLLAPSES SOON AfTER START Green Yacht at Once Abandons Contest and Returns to Mooring : Columbia Had IJut to Sail the Kacu in the Time T.Iniit to IVln Second Ituco of Scries The Start a Most Magnificent One. NEW YORK , Oct. 18. The topmast of the cup challenger Shamrock was carried away twenty-rtvo minutes after the big single sticker had crossed the starting line today and its enor mous clubBall , with its 3,000 feet of canvas , came rattling down on the deck , leaving it a helpless cripple. No amount of pluck or courage could face such a catastrophe and Shamrock abandoned the race , towing back to the anchorage after the wreckage had been cleared. Columbia continued over the course alone , placing to its credit the second of the races for the America's cup. The accident to Shamrock ruined the race and caused the keenest regret among the yachtsmen and the thousands of sightseers who were on hand to wit ness what had promised to be a glori ous duel. It is unfortunate that the defender should have been the beneficiary of an accident , as there is little glory in beating a cripple , but the rule is iron clad. If crippled before the start time is allowed for repairs , but once over the line , if anything carries away , the sufferer must make such repairs as he can , or if rendered hors de combat , as Shamrock was today , he must take the consequences. There are good sense and logic behind the rule. The races are a test of construction as well as design and seamanship. Doubtless , if Mr. Iselin could have had his choice in the matter , he generously would have declined to continue in view of the crippled condition of his rival , but the rules gave him no alternative. He was in duty bound to go on , and as he finished well within the time limit the race was his. STAYS WITH COMRADE. Iowa Soldicr'a Fidelity Shown in Toncls- li\S Way. DES MOINES , la. , Oct. 18.

SOUTH OMAHA , Oct. 19. The Den ver Stockman has this to say of sheep feeding conditions in Nebraska : "Tho big Nebraska feeders are getting down to business. They have concluded that prices on southern lambs are not too high when the cheap corn is consid ered. They are going after the lambs now and buying them by train loads. Another conclusion has been reached , and which is in the main responsible for the heavy buying going on now , not only in the south , but in the west as well. The beef supply available next spring does not figure out as going to be as great aa the demand , consequently quently there is a great likelihood that beef will be high. To counteract this high market and to supply such con sumers as will not find themselves able to buy the high-priced beef ail the time there is a strong possibility that much mutton will be consumed , and these sheep buyers are getting ready for such demand. "The latest purclfase of forty car loads of New Mexico lambs and yearl ing wethers by a big Nebraska feeder at a cost of § 2.30 per head at point of loading is a price that cannot help but render a handsome profit when mar keting time conies. " Vfhcre Is Taniiohlll. COLUMBUS , Neb. , Oct. 19. It is now ten days since John Tannehill left' this'city to avoid arrest on the charge of forging notes to the amount of over § 1,600. Not the slightest trace of him has been found , which has leu to all sorts of rumors concerning his whereabouts. All of them , however , are supported by no facts , and where Tannehill is remains as deep a mystery as ever. One rumor has him in Mexico ; an other , en route to the Philippines ; a third , that he has taken his own life ; and some believe he has fled to Kansas. It was at first thought that Tanne- hiU's property would aggregate a suf ficient amount to liquidate tne forged paper. Developments indicate that it will by no means do this. If his wife exercises the right of the § 20,000 homestead redemption , which it is un derstood she will do , no margin fvill be left. Child Dies to Save Sister. GENEVA , Neb. , Oct. 19.
