The horse was 5 years old, and was a very promising animal, having showed remarkable speed, and had been owned by Mr. Geil since last year. The horse was bought for $500 and was valued at a great deal more than that figure, by its owner.

In every issue of the “Purple Book” there is much Elk matter that is good, in addition to a *“boost” for many cities of the north- west in which there are Elk lodges.
