made miles In 2:12 : , stopped quarters
In 28 seconds and eights In lU'/j sec
onds. Ho Is also of most excellent
breeding , sired by Maldou , by Wood-
ford Wllkes by George WIlUos. Ills
dam Is Alerta by Allorton. l > ast year
his owner started him twenty-one

a team and drove to Madison. The
track was wet Monday and the horse
could not show his speed. Yesterday
was bcarcely more favorable as only

.such remarkable ) form that the sale
was consummated. Mr. Moore agreed
to show a mlle on the Madluon track ,
which is a half-mile ring , In 2:10 : and
said ho could have done o\en better
if the rain had held off. In speaking
of the sale Mr. Moore remarked that
he sold the norse because he had all
his wealth invested In him and If ho
had money to stake him in the grand
circuit would never have sold him.
"I could not afford to own him longer , "
was his statement when interviewed.
"I believe ho will go faster than Dan
Patch before ho reaches thu limit of
his speed , but If he should sprain a
tendon and could not race It would bo
a serious loss to me. "
Mr. Murphy wired for a palace car
In which to ship him cast.

. ECHO OF FRED HANS CASE.
Charles E. Lear Sues Brown County
for Pay , as Attorney.
Lincoln Evening News : An echo of
the Fred M. Hans murder case , which
has been In the cdurts for the past
three years , is found in the case of
Charles E. Lear against Brown county ,
which has just been appealed to the
supreme court.
In his original petition Lear alleges
that in 1903 he was duly appointed by
the district court of Brown county to
aid and assist the county attorney of
said county in the trial , preparation
and prosecution of Fred M. Hans , and
that he assisted in the prosecution of
said case and in a second trial for
murder in 1905.
He brought action in the district
court for the alleged value of these
services and the defendant interposed
a general demurrer , which was over
ruled and judgment entered in behalf
of the plaintiff for the full amount
asked in the petition. From this judg
ment the county appeals to the su
preme court
The county bases its resistance of
payment of the claim upon the fact
that the petition of plaintiff does not
allege that the sdrvlcos rtmdurodvoro
procured by the county attorney litulor
the direction of the district court ,
which Is Bald to ho necessary undnr
the law , but merely mentions that ho
wan duly appointed by thu district
court , " the county attorney having
nothing to do with the matter.

OIL KING'S GOLD DAZZLES.
Strange Fairy Tales Afloat In Com-
plegne But Chateau Is Denied.
Compelgne , June 20. Fairy tales
are circulating among the peasants
around here. Their Imaginations have
heen fired by Achllle , a garrulous cab
man , a character among bis fellows ,
who drives all the nobility and charg
es twlco as much fare as the other
cabbies.
Immediately-after Mr. Rockefeller's
arrival , Achilla confided to everybody
that "Monsieur le Mlllard' < had
brought with him 100 great chests full
of gold and a huge safe stuffed with
banknotes and bonds. These riches
were burled at night in the chateau
grounds. For their further safety Mr.
Rockefeller set a guard of armed men
and fierce dogs to patrol the grounds
from sunset until sunrise. "And by
his order , I , myself , provided the trus
ty men for the watch , " Achlllo said.
Some of the townspeople laugh at
Achilla's stories and chaff him. Said
ono to him ; "You drive the petroleum
king , but you never get a tip. "
"I don't eh ? " cried the indignant
Achllle , drawing a handful of silver
from his pocket "Look at all this
money Monsieur Rockefeller gave me.
besides $3 for my cab , $4 to spend at
the fete today. Ho Is a true king. "
The chief of police tells your cor
respondent that Mr. Rockefeller looked
like a man relieved of a haunting fear
when , with the chief as his guide , ho
inspected the Bartlllon system of pho
tographs and measurements In this
town hall. Ho satisfied himself that
25,000 rogues , thieves and anarchists ,
French , American , Russian and English
'
lish , are -known to the police here , and
that none can breath the air of Com-
plegne , for the French law forbids an
ex-convict to enter a palace town.

Norfolk I.IIH bad moro HiilcldoH than
UHiial during the present uprlng.
Tlnoo have occurred within n oompar-
allvoly Hhorl time. The spring of Iho
year IH generally Iho IIIOH ! cheering of
nil HCIIHOIIH , with the blooming Mow-
H and the wanning air add the grow
ing tleblH , yet more of HIOHO tragedies
lime occuned during IhlH HoaHonlhln
year than In the other HoaHons of Iho
year combined.
Several weeks ago Iho Norfolk po
lice department was notllled of the
queer acllon of TbonniH Knoll , the man
who Hiilclded yostordny morning by
Hhoollng | IH ! heart out with a Hbolgiin
At that lime the police went lo bin
loom , found him In hod and apparent
ly trying to nlarvo blniHelf. Ho wan
at that lime undoubtedly and very ap
parently Immno. The police not him
up mid forced him to eat a meal , then
loll him to go MH bo would.
For Hovornl wooltH that miui wan
dered about the town , iinqucHllonahly
liiHMii" aH the roHiilt of doHpondoncy
'hut "OMiilled from worry over hln fi
nancial affairs. On the day before bin
Hiiloltlo , ho WIIH HOOII on the street with
a gnn.
Doosn'l It seotn a rather queer thing
that a man could bo allowed to roam
about a town of thlH kind for several
weolH , with the police knowing that
ho was Insane , and yet no nc.iou taken
lo place him In a hoHpllal until after
ho had ended his life ?
Man Is a creature of habit , all right ,
and the fact wns proven by a llttlo In
cident In Norfolk this weok. Mr. Phil-
pot , Lincoln correspondent of the
Omana Boo , came to Norfolk on Thurs
day to report the Insane hospital In
vestigation matter for his paper. Ho
has become so used to writing "Lin
coln , Neb. , " at the head of his stuff
that when ho wrote the story about
the Investigation Thursday night , and
tiled It nt the telegraph office , Intsead
of writing "Norfolk" as the dateline ,
ho Instlnctly put down "Lincoln. " The
next morning the article tolling about
tne Investigation appeared In the Bee
under a Lincoln datollnn , though the
facts told about took place In Norfolk.
Two railroad men have this week
been laid off their runs because of an
accident that occurred over at Call-
fornla Junction. They were running
a freight train out of California Junc
tion. A fast passenger was duo from
the other direction , but had not ar
rived. This freight went out on the
track and stood In the way , so that
the ( Iyer bumped Into It Engineer
Wright and Brakeman Wellington
Fox were blamed. In speaking of ftio
matter , a railroad man said :
"I have often seen headlights from
California Junction , In at Missouri
Valley , and not known whqthor they
wore right close or miles away. There
are so many headlights playing In and
out there all the time , that It Is a
hard mattei to keep the various lights
straight. A double track' will prob
ably be built some day to remedy the
congestion of traffic there. "
