The races were more Interesting than any day this week, at least to the admirer of sidewheolers, for there were two pacing races on the pro- gram. In the first event, tho sdewheel stake for foals of 1892, Signi Chi, trained by Charlie Doble, looked like a winner for the first heat, but he was only dangerous for a moment, the good colt Whirligig settlng the raco cach heat atter entering the home road. The 2:10 trot was a straight heat affair for Miss Lida and an easy victory. too, though Parole, Hilbedburn and Prince Her- schel showed lots of speed to the three- quarters, ‘The 2:28 class trot was a race every heat, and was only won by Juckson I. Case's mare after a hard contest. Brazil, by Journalis a St Ji ph, Mo., horse, driven by M. E.

In thenext heat Diamond Joe and Jeonio K left the rest and raced home, tho latter winning by a short neck 1 2:173¢. Jennie K won the two final heats, but had to fight every foot of the way, ‘The race that created the most enthusiasm 80 far during the meeting was the 2:15 pacing stuke. Cesstman and Two-Strike were the fuvorites in the betting. Atlantic Kiog surprised the talent, however, by win- ning she first heat and reducing his record to 2:11. Wilkie Knox won the next heat, reduciug bis rvecord from 2:174 to 2:10%. The next Lwo heats went to Coastman in 2:10% and 2:18%. Two-Strike, W.

Forty minutes later the great colt came out accompanied by runner to go against his record of 2:13i, going to the half in 1:04, to the three- quarters 1n 1:361, but unfortunately he mado ‘a break in the last quarter, or the world’s S-year-old record would have been set at 2:10 or better. Tho 2:19 trot was the race of the meeting and the greatest trot- ting race that Lus taken place in thé west this year. Tt was marked by two and three abreast drives, neck and neck finishes and extreme fast average time, but Robbie P, the great Nebraska racing stallion owned by Pyle & Bricgs, with Mr. Pyle as driver, was 0 at the finish, winning the three ats in driving s by neck or head ch time, in the vhird heat capturing tlo Nebraska trotting record for stallions.

AVOCA CITIZENS DENOUNCE THE VERDICT Mo Was Accused of Poisoning His Fifth Wife and Will Be Lynched if He Re- turns to Riverton—Kansus Charge May Not Be Pressed. Avoca, Ta., Sept. 8.—[Special Telegram to Tie Bee. ]—William Mawhor, sr., of River- ton is agamn a free man. Not many weeks ago, when it was loarned that 1.237 grains of strychnine haa been discovered in the omach of his fifth wife, who had recently diod under suspicivus circumstances, and to this being addea the knowledge that three of his four previous wives had died sud- denly and with mysterious circumstances attending their decease, Mawhor was looked upon by the people of this and neighboring cities as a veritable Bluebeard. Great interest has been manifested in the trial, which has been in progress nere for several weeks, the general opinion being right up to the last that the prisoner was in some way or other responsiblo for his wife's sudden demise. The defense was able to produce evidence which undoubtedly tended to throw douhts into the caso. Tha produc- tion of a piece of paper declared to ve in Mrs. Mawhor's handwriting, expressing the hope that this, her “third attempt at sui- cide would be successtul,” was taken by some as very much in the prisoner’s favor. But, notwithstanding all that the defense had done, it was evident from the demeanor of the crowds in the court house when the jury was charged yesterday evening and again when the jury returned with the verdict at 8 o'clock this morning that the vast majority of those who had followed the trial most closely and had been living within a short distance of whoro the ovidence was taken had not been shaken in their first con- viction that Mawhor was guilty, as charged. During the day the members of the jury have been trying to exvlain their reasons for acquittal, but the citizens, some of whom were backward before about expressing an opwion, are now almost unanimous in de- nouncing the verdict. It isnot known yet whether or not the Kansas charge against Mawhor will be pressed. Mawtor, in any case, will not return to Riverton, for fear of being lynched. He intends to go to Kausas to resido with his chilaren. Having paid the premiums on a policy of £3,000 on_his wife's life, Mr. Mawhor will bring suit to collect the sam W. E. Mitchell wiil sue the insuran mpany for a 82,000 policy on behaif of the children of the deceased. Ho Didn't Steal it, Oh, Dear, No. Stoux Crry, Ia., Sept. 8.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee]—Receiver Boughty of the Union Trust company today received o letter from E. M. Donaldson, the defaulting president of the concern, which reads in part as follows: “You are quoted in the Globe- Democrat as stating that you believe I stole £600,000 and have the money. If you made such a statement it is a lio, ns false and black as hell, and if T live you' shall rotract it. The books show for themselves, as also the bookkeeper. Not ono cent of money belonging to others was ever appropriated by me. or is in my possession. Not one doliar. I pleaded and entreated measures to be adopted two years ago to suve the completo collapse of the company ana its ailied interests, all of which T foresaw, but my offorts wero unavailing, Since that time there was paid, as the books will show, $200,000 in dividends, expenses, interest ‘and taxes and $150,000 in losses on the Kansas business including expenses, taxes etc.” Donaldson s on to say that ho 1s living in poy- h corn as his principal diet and that s wife will have to teach schoolfor a living.

He is also wanted in Omaha for burglary and jul breaking. Bruce was one of the members of the notorious Slye and Dink Wilson gang and was a cool, dangerous crook who hesitated at nothing. He is tho fellow who stolo £5,000 worth of diamonds from Jonasen’s jewelry store in thig city and who once effected his escape from the city jail by squoezing through the gratings coverig an opening in the side- walk. 9 The friends of James Burke, alins “Kid" McCoy, who is in jail at Logan, Ta., on the charge of robbing "W, ck of #18,000 worth of diamonds’ on a Sioux City train several months ugo, are_trying to use Bruce as a tool to prove an alibi for McCoy. As was printed in Tug Bez some time ago, afriend of the prisoncy, named Hooker, was in Omaha v NE L0 g witnesses 0 go to Logan and swear thagthey were with nim when the robbery took place on the train. The Pinkertons and city detectives shad- owed Hooker and his litlle game was ex- posed. Shortly after this Bruce w. rrested, and at ovce a series df “misloading press’ d patches were sent out from Logan and Terre Haute attempting fo draw the. attention of the public and puliclyn Bruce in order that Burgiar Frank B McCoy. might ecapegfor get off easy. The object had ot Lo 4esired effect, ynd it is not known'what_tlfe next meve will be, but officors are watchiug all these men and are on to their game. Bruce is wanted in 5o many places that he issure of a long term in the penitentiary and it might be that e could be induced by MeCoy’s friends to swear that he is the mun who robved Pollock. Such a move would not add_many more years to nis im- prisonment and he would be well paid for it. However, McCoy has been identified by Pollock, the trainmen, and se eral passengers who wituessed the robbery, 80 that his sleek little game to prove an alibi will hardly be successful The members of the gang ar prison, but thoso who are yet at liberty seem to have considerable money and are untiring in their efforts to secure the releas of their pal and comrade, who is now i deep trouble. nearly all in —_—— ATTRACTING WIDE ATTENTION.
