HKADVILLR. Man., Sept. J.-Over a
Irac fully two wondi slower than when
the at Lou Dillon startled the world
with a mlln In two minutes, the trotting
gelding. Uhlan, defeated Hamburg Dell In
straight heats at the Keadvtlle track tolay
In the second meeting of the pair to de
fide the trotting championship of the
forld. A Uhlan la a locally owned and
tired horse the victory wa decidedly popu
lar, the crowd of 10.000 cheering vocifer
ously at the conclusion of each of the
beats and when the victor returned to the
' Wire for Driver Robert Proctor to weigh In.
Hamburg Belle was favorite before the
tart at 5 to I. because of her success last
week In the Initial meeting of the cracks
at Cleveland. At that meet ahe earned
the world's - record of 1:01 4 for trotters
I a rac two seconds better than the
inrwlous mark, which had stood since the
Cresceua-The Abbott race at Brighton
Beach in 1903.
In drawing for position today Hilly An
drews held to hi usual run of good lurk
In securing the pole. This was rather
disheartening to those fnlllowlng Uhlan.
. On tha second score Walker sent them
away io a nne start, lmmeaiaieiy nurews
Jf opened a gap of a length, alntalnlrffc this
advantage clear to the three-quarter pole,
f) ' when It was seen Proctor was driving for
' the first time In earnest In attempting to
Bfngen.
Rapidly Uhlan closed In on the mare
and at the head of the home stretch- he
fad her lapped, his head being at her
addle. Andrews aparently had confidence
, til the finishing ability of Hamburg Belle
(and never made a move until he saw
tfann had reached her neck. Then, thirty
WsTfrom tha wire, he tapped the trot
ting queen a couple of times, but she
failed to reepond, and Uhlan quickly went
Into th lead, winning easily by two
lengths. "

After a couple of warming tip scores for
th , second heat the contestant turned
for the wotd and got It the first time
down. Tha pole, the backers and admirers
of the Boston representative had concluded,
was ,a big help, but Just before reaching
Iho. Quarter pole Andrews surprised every
one by fairly jumping Hamburg Belle Into
the lead, so that It appeared from the
grandstand as If Uhlan had met with an
accident and been forced to stop stock
fill.- It was a wonderful burst of speed,
considering, too, that the quarter was
reached In thirty-one seconds. From this
point Uhlan was In about the same posl-

fesl ana Proctor, too, made his drive in

terms and had collared his opponent when
IrftriAe the distance.
ter Andrews was successful for a num
bejr.pf' yards 'An holding tils own, but soon
after it was perceptible to the .spectators
tfiat 'Hamburg Belle was weakening under
the strain." Cheering began all along the
quarter stretch for the conquering horse,
which then came away and was a good
lejngth. In front at the wire. The fractional
IMM'ts of the beat illustrate the methods
Jkusrews used in trying to escape defeat.
' The quarter was paused In 0:31. halt In
1:0114, three-quarters In 1:32 and the mile
In t:03H. The final qiu rter was slower by
a half second than the others, , which was
due to Hamburg Belle having boon raced
Into submission the latter part of the
Journey.
' In deciding the relative merits of the two
fastest trotters the world has seen the
obrw gtands one each, with a third meet
ing necessary to es abllah the champion hip.
It has been suggested that this race take
place at Lexington,' Ky., at the fall meet
lug in October, but there Is nothing In the
articles of agreement to that effect. It. la
known that Columbus wants the race
badly'' at Its grand circuit meeting and It
may' be decided to break the tie at that
place.
";" ' Vnlaa Has Fin Record.
Uhlan Is a l-year-old gelding, by Blngen
cut of Blende. He was bred by Arthur
Parker of Bedford, Mass., once the owner
fct Blngen' for which he paid 132,000 at
Ration, and sold to William O. Bradbury
of New York for a largely advanced price.
When Uhlan was I years old Mr. Parker
. Sold him to Charles Handera of - Balem,
V Mass., for 12,600. The same season Uhlan
won. a race to a matinee wagon over the
ReadvllU track In M3V which la today
the world's record for the age that way
hatched. In his 4-year-old form Uhlan won
alt his raoes exempting the American trot
ting derby, securing a record of t:0T4, (he
fastest raco record made by a gelding at
that -age- This season his single defeat
was by Hamburg Belle at Cleveland, he
having previously won in that city, tleing
tha gelding race record of The Abbott In
t.-OMt which he repeated At Buffalo and
bettered today by half a second. Banders
was offered M,6U for his horse after the
rat heat in the Hamburg Belle race at
Cleveland, but refused to - consider the
proposition.

HOT SPRINGS, 8. D.. Sept. S (Special.)
Qua Godfrey, whose name will still maks
old residents shudder, especially through
southern Minnesota, because of his mad
cruelty In Indian massacres and murders,
is dead at the Pantee Indian reservation,
aged 70 years. Godfrey was a giant negro
who married an Indian wife and became a
member of the Sioux tribe. Tales of his
Inhumanity are seemingly without end. On
one occasion he drove a wagon containing
three prisoners. Mary Anderson, Mary
fchwandt and Mary Schwars. while per
mitting the Indians to torture them, and
finally shot Mary Anderson himself while
pretending to go for assistance.
Godfrey knew the location of every build
ing In Fort Rldgely and New Vim. where
to shoot through them, or the most ex
peditious way to destroy them. At New
Vim he discarded all the rules of warfare
and boasted afterward he had killed more
German babies than it was possible to
count. Afterward he turned state's evi
dence, and by his marvelous memory sent
thirty-five Indians to the gallows and ob
tained for himself the right to live on the
Bantee reservation. He was despised by
Indiana and whltea alike through bis long,

BERLIN, Sept. S. LldJ Joassu, the crown
prince of Abyssinia, has Invited Theodore
Roosevelt to a great elephant hunt, promis
ing to beat up a white elephant for him
to kill, and otherwise to arrange a splen
did sporting program.
This news has been brought Into Ber
lin by Adolf Mayer, a klnrman of King
Menellk of Abyslnnla. who has arrived
here with a commlnslon from the Aby
sinnian government to purchase supplies.
King Menellk sent an invitation to Mr.
Roosevelt at Washington to be his guest,
but Mr. Roosevelt declined, explaining
that as he had refused the Invitations of
several European sovereigns, he could nut
make an exception of King Menellk, how
ever much he might desire to do so.
It was then arranged that the crown
prince should Invite Mr. Roosevelt unof
ficially. Before Mayer left Abyssinia, a commis
sion had been sent to hand this Invitation
to Mr. Roosevelt wherever It could f iriil
him, and King Menellk was hopeful that
the former president of the United States
would accept the invitation.

Looking Up the
Big Pathfinder
Project Muddle
Congressional Committee Will Visit
Site Next Week to Confer
with Farmers.
SCOTT'S BLUFF, Neb.. Sept. S (Spe
cial.) The congressional committee on re
clamation and Irrigation projects is to visit
this valley Friday, September 10. A tele
gram from Senator Tom Carter, chair
man of the committee, makes this an
nouncement. Senators Burkett and Brown
and Congressman Klnkald have also been
asked to met with the committee and cltl
cens are urged to attend.
The matter of issuing scrip to complete
the government project will be taken up
and also the effort to have the big Path
finder dam placed under control of the
rivers and harbors committee, because It
holds back flood waters and is, therefore,
of great value on the lower rivers.
While the efforts of most of the people
here Is toward developing more land and
Increasing tha water supply and toward
securing more people to improve the lands
one of the small ditoh companies has gone
into court to ask for damages. A small
concern known as the Enterprise, which
controls a small acreage, asks for more
water, although not using all to which It
Is entitled. The Pathfinder dam stores
over 1.000,000 acre-feet and the acreage
amounts to less than 7'AOOO.
Six citizens have bought land the past
week under the Farmers' Mutual ditch,
recently known as the Trl-State canal,
some paying as high as 1100 per acre for
tha land.
The sugar company Is hard at work on
its new buildings and has opened a local
office. Machinery has been shipped in for
the -manufacture of cement brick, which
will be used on the new structure. As high
as $250 per acre was paid by the com
pany for some of the land used for the
site, which is two miles east of town.
There Is an abundance of water In all
of the various ditches and the North
Platte Is unusually full for this season of
the year. Good rains have fallen this
week ard while not needed for crops, was
very refreshing. V
A new record for wheat was made this
week on the Iodine farm, where the crop
went fifty-seven and a half bushels to the
acre, weighing sixty-three pounds to the
bushel; oats went seventy bushels, weigh

Italian Naval
Officers May
Be in the Clear
Improper Motives Not Yet Officially
Ascribed to Men of Aetna Off
Virginia Capes.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. General regret
Is expressed In administration circles over
the publication ascribing Improper motives
to the commander of the Italian cruiser
Aetna, which on Saturday morning last is
reported to have steamed between the ships
of the Atlantlo battleship fleet engaged in
target practice off the Virginia capes.
Naval officials In authority in Washing
ton expressed the opinion that any criti
cism of the action of the commander of tha
vessel should be withheld until some sub
stantial evidence Is at hand that he In any
way violated International propriety in an
effort to observe the operations and results
of the gunners' work aboard the vessels.
The Aetna, they say, Is a guest of the
nation and it would be highly improbable
that its commander would be guilty of an
affront to our people. The officers say the
ship was on its way to an American port
and If It slowed up aa reported when ap
proaching the fleet it was, in all probaMlity,
because of its intention to pass in at the
capes and make port. If any affront were
given the naval officers say it was entirely
unintentional.
Rear Admiral William S. Cowles, acting
secretary of the navy, was particularly em
phatic In his declaration that, in his opinion
there was no foundation for the allega
tions of impropriety.
