A Sprinter In Court, Mention was made in the | a day or 80 ago of the foot race at Plattsmouth be- tween Lee, a local man, and Dan Ross, the Omaha sprinter, The latter suc- ceeded in beating the Plattsmonth sports out of a considerable sum by throwing the race to his opponent. A lawsait, it n.‘m appears, is to be an outcome of the affur, It uppears that, by the terms of the agreement, the winner was to receive the money taken in at the door. Lee won the riace and was entitled to the gate money, and indeed it was all he was to get except some four or five dollars’ worth of goods to put him in trim to It seems, however, that some of ung men who were bilked by Ross, x that they had been sold out, col- lared the receipts and refused to give them up. Lee, who got nothing, althougn he won the race, has brought suit before Judge Pottenger against three of the young men to recover what was left of the reccipts after paying expenscs.

An uncanny romance it is, and it shows that there are still some people in the world whose notions are very much like those which prevailed ing the dark ages. Seven years ago thera emigrated to this country from the city of Coblanz, Germany, a young man named Anton Hamme After many vicissitudes he finally landed in Ford county, Kansas, about flve years ago, and by dint of industry and economy managed to ve up a respectable competency, besides being the owner of a 240 rm in the neighborhood of Dodge When Hammey left the old country he was engaged fo a comely 2 Muelheim, whom he h.ul promised to send for as goon as he had secured liome or umulated enough money.

After several lettors had been interchanged by the parties, it was finally ngreed that the brother and his wife would come to this country. During this correspondence the man in Kansas had not been informed that his brother had married Frrulein Mueiheim and for all he knew the maiden whom he left in promises was still true to him. E arrangement was made for the coming of Hammeyer's brother and what he supposed was his own intended wife, It was agreed that Hammeyer should meet the immigrants in_ Omaha, and when these arrived in this city on Wednes- day afternoon they found nobody to meet them.
