A bog raising contest has Just end*
ed among the boys at tho Central.

MIDNIGHT HACK RACE

JEHUS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF A
DULL TIME TO HAVE SOME
FUN AND FOUND IT EX
PENSIVE.
Three hnckmen were before the re
corder yesterday morning for Indulg
ing in a midnight race with their
hacks.
Somebody had telephoned to send a
hark nt onco to tho comer of Fourth
and Bav streets, and ono of the port
ers In one of the restaurants merely as a
matter, of accommodation went out and
called a hack and delivered tht mes
sage. There were several hacks In‘line
at tho union depot, and each thought
as business was dull that the fara
was worth going ufter, and they start,
ed.
Ono of the hackmcn aald he had
never been on a hack before, except
for»tho past two days and was unac
quainted with tho city rules. Another
said his light went out at tho critical
moment, and the other s&'.d the others
followed him.
It was a nip and tuck race, with
Arthur Threatt In the lead, but he
■aid he Just couldn't hold his horse
back, no matter how hard ho pulled
back on the lines.
They passed the officer on tho Fourth
street beat below the Snvo Hou-o
and ho managed to get the numbers
of two of tho hacks. He telephoned
these numbers to Officer Jessup *>o
that ho cduld get them on tho return
trip and tnls tne officer did.
In consequence tho race was an ex
pensive one. Arthur Threatt and
Tom Griswold were fined ten dollar*
each, and Napoleon Sampson, the new
man, wo* fined two dollars and a half.
