crooks, During the past winter sev-

the race but the local agitators had

could easily be won, and that if he
would put up the money to back them
he would receive $50 of the amount
won. Knowing these men all winter ed that T. S. Ford has re arranged his

Hodgins agreed to loan the money, business on the principal of a joint
