Helena Sprint Champ Lost to Sheriff’s II Real Money Bet on Return Match in
Son at Nampa and Gifts Helped Him II Helena; Home Star Won and Escaped
Leave. || in Buggy.
If you were a resident of Montana
40 years ago, maybe you’ll recall a foot
race that occurred in Helena between
a local man and a boy from Nampa,
Ida. The Helenan was one of the fast
est men in the world at 100 yards.
The country at that time was in
fested with a horde of foot racers.
Runners, fleet of foot, managed by
. men of nimble minds, really architects
in dramatization, would go from town
to town, winning and losing races
against local favorites, usually at a
profit to the syndicate with which they
were associated.
The build-ups, preliminary to most
races, were artfully arranged. No show
man, no dramatist, could outdo the
footracing clan in laying the corner
stone and pile brick upon brick with
more cunning and deception. So many
towns had native or favorite sons who
we r e almost nine-and-three-fifths
second men. There were foot racers
galore, and the smart men in the busi
ness formed a syndicate for the one
purpose of making money through gyp
ping the public. The syndicators de
termined in advance how their athletes
should run each race.
Tliis sort of badger game finally was
fouled by its own stench. The game,
outlawed around 1908, in many states
and cities, has never been revived.
It was in the late '9o's that one of
the cleverest racing build-ups was
manufactured. A man from Helena, re
puted to be the first man in the world
to be clocked at nine, three-fifths
seconds, for the 100-yard distance, laid
the egg by losing a race in an Idaho
town. Nampa.
Helenan One of Fastest
Mr. Helena was accredited and ac
cused of being the fastest human at
100 yards. He never fully accepted the
nomination. The Helena man felt cer
tain that no man his weight. 165
pounds, could defeat him, but there
were a few hot-shots who packed more
weight, whom he respected. Lighter
men held no fear for the Montanan.
The heavier fellows, with more drive
in the legs, were the ones he was cagy
about. He always thought that Harry
Bethune, a 190-pounder, was one man
that could beat him when he was at
his best.
There was a sprinter at Nampa, Ida.,
who was regarded as a comer. He won
race after race. The boy’s father was
sheriff of Nampa county, and it has
been said that the parent made more
money on wagering when his son raced
than he did from salary’, fees, etc., in
his official position.
The Old-Style Come-On
One fine day, Mr. Man from Helena
disembarked from a train that arrived
at Nampa. He scouted around town,
picking up valuable information here
and there. The next day the Montanan
started training on a vacant lot located
in the center of the city. Pegs were
set up 100 yards apart. In no time a
crowd had gathered. A friend clocked
, each run effort. The time was always
well over 10 seconds. The procedure
was followed for a few’ days. The run
ner and his timer paid no attention
to anyone.
On the third day, a committee ap
proached the Helena man and proposed
a match with the local boy for any i
amount of money the visitor would care ।
to put up.
“I’ve got $400,” said the Montanan.
“I’ll bet it all.”
A few Nampaites were willing to take
a chance on the Helenan and they put
up some money—not much. There
wasn’t more than SBOO bet on the race.
Praised Nampa Winner
The Nampa boy won—by three yards.
The first man to congratulate the
winner was the loser.
"Boy.” said the Helenan, ‘‘you cer
tainly gave me a surprise. I guess I’m
not as good as I thought I was.”
The crowd repaired to the hotel.
After the vanquished runner donned
his civvies, he walked into the lobby
to mix with the crowd that was cele
brating the home boy’s victory.
Someone asked the loser to comment
on his opponent’s skill and style.
The Montanan was fulsome in his
§ raise of the youngster. And the cele
ration was getting better as time went
on. At the proper moment, the man
from Montana asked a neighbor within
the hearing of everyone in the room,
"If there was a pawn shop in town.” I
Loser Was Left Broke
"Sure," replied the man, and asked,
“Why?”
"I’ve lost every cent I had,” replied
Mr. Helena. “I have a gold watch that
I must hock for a week or two. I need
the money to pay my hotel bill and
buy a railroad ticket to Helena. I hate
to part with the watch—it’s a gift from
my mother, given to me on my 21st
birthday. I’ll redeem it as soon as I
can.”
In no time at all, the Nampa men
folk passed the hat and the collection
amounted to more than enough to pay
the hotel bill and railroad fare to
Helena.
Someone made a speech when the
money was given to the runner. That
someone saia the visitor proved himself
a real sport and the men who contri
buted to the pool were happy to pre
sent the offering.
Get-Away Gift Brings “Confession”
Our hero refused the assorted col
lection of gold, silver and currency.
There were Nampa protests. Finally,
Mr. Helena agreed to accept the money
as a loan. He took down the name of
the hotel man. He stated that he would
send the money to the proprietor of
the hostelry and requested that in
dividual to make the proper distribu
tion when the loan was paid.
Then the Helena man broke down
and cried. And then, he talked.
"Friends,” said Mr. Helena, “you
■ have been very good to me. I came

here sailing under false colors. I came
here to take money away from you.
The name I have been using is an alias.
I’m Mr. So-and-So,” and ne gave his
true name. "As you know’, I am sup
posed to be the fastest man in the
world at 100 yards. I heard about the
young man of Nampa and I came here
to win from him and to win money
from you. I met a better man today.
My pride has suffered a shock. I’ve
lost my bankroll! And you good sports
shamed me by making up a purse so
that I can leave town. I’ve never been
treated like this before and I don’t
deserve such kind treatment. It’s only
fair that I should confess that my mind
was made up to rook you.”
Mr. Helena then passed around news
clippings. Pictures of the runner were
on each clipping. There was no doubt
about it. The man who lost to the
Nampa kid and the visitor, the great
est runner of his day, were one and
the same person.
The confession, spoken humbly, was
taken in the right spirit. The Idaho
sportsmen, in turn, felt that Mr. Hel
ena, admitting his deception, only
proved that he was’the good sport the
crow’d said he was. The Helena man
repeatedly praised his young opponent,
and they were constantly in each
other’s company while the celebration
was going on.
Parting Shot for Rematch
Then—in a distance —a train, a
northbounder, could be heard whistling.
It w’as coming into tow’n. Mr. Helena
looked at his watch. He announced he
w’ould board the train. He said good
by and again expressed his thanks.
The crowd, liking the man more and
more, insisted that they would escort
him to the depot. They would give their
friend a mass goodby.
Just before the train rolled into
the station, the Helena man made a
short speech—his last one.
“Goodby, my friends,” said the
Helenan. “You have been very kind to
me, and I’ll never forget it. I am going
home to Helena first-class, thanks to
your generosity. I’ll send the money
to Tom as soon as I get home. There’s
one thing that I want to say to the
Sood sports of Nampa, and that is,
: your boy could beat me in Helena,
as he did here today, you could win
all the money there is in the town.
Goodby, and thank you again.” And
the Helena man ascended the steps of
the day coach.
“Hurray for Mr. Helena,” was the
many-voiced farewell that was heard
on the station platform as the train
went its way north.
Now, bear in mind, the Helena man I
promised nothing. He merely told the
crowd that they could win lots of
money if the Nampa boy could defeat
him in Helena, his home town in
Montana.
In less than a week the Nampa
hotel man received the money order
from Helena. In the letter were several
sentences that read: “I haven’t re
covered from the shock of losing to the
boy. Maybe he is too fast for me.”
tn due time, a Helena traveling man
(?) arrived in Nampa. He was inter
ested in the foot race that was held
there a few weeks before.
"Is it true this boy defeated Mr.
Helena?" he asked the hotel man.
An Agent Stirs Betting
When Informed that the boy not
only won but was in the lead all the
way, the Helena traveling man ex
pressed surprise. He proposed that
another race be run, this time at
Helena. He would back the Nampa boy, |
too. When he returned home, he would
make all necessary arrangements. He
mentioned that the Helena man was
the toast of all Montana. Likewise, he
stated that Helena would go hook,
line and sinker on their man. He voiced
a personal opinion that the Helena
runner was slipping.
So, a match was arranged—without
difficulty. The traveling man notified
Nampaites that Helena was ready to
be plucked.
A few days before the race, a crowd
of Idaho folk arrived at the capital
city of Montana. The visitors were
flush with heavy money. Bets were
made. The father of the Nampa kid
planked down SII,OOO in one pile. His
money was covered. There was lots
more Nampa money. Eventually, Helena
backers were made to quit. The known
wagers amounted to better than $30,000.
Everyone in town was at the desig-
TRAINS MEAN BUSSES, TOO,
FOR MONTANA OFFICIALS
State officials on duty must travel
by bus or train “when suitable” but
when such means of travel la not suit

Attorney Gen. H. J. Freeboum ruled.
The opinion, written for State Ex

clarify conflicting interpretation of a

The officials consulted with the
runners. A signal was given that the
race was about to be run.
Helenan Wins and Escapes
If one was observant, one could no

veyance—a racing buggy, drawn by
two spirited horses. There was an empty
seat alongside the driver.
Then a gun barked. The race was on.
The crowd roared as the men leaped
into the air from the starting line.
The men raced side by side for 70
yards—then—the Helena man began to
pull away. He reached the tape Une
five yards in advance of his opponent.
After crossing the Une the Helena
man pointed for the conveyance. He
Jumped ineo the empty seat. The horses
responded to the whip. A barrage of

And, if that wasn't dramatization,
I miss my guess.

THEIR DISCRETION, STATE
ATTORNEY RULES
Candidates for Consolidated Posts Must
Possess Qualifications of Both; Holds
Law Defining; Surveyor’s Capabilities
Is Void.
County commissioners, in their
discretion and upon their own mo
tion, may consolidate any two or
more county offices enumerated in
the constitution of the state and an
“apparently conflicting;” section of
the state’s laws enacted later is
not applicable under such condi
tions, Attorney Gen. 11. J. Free
bourn has ruled.
In an opinion written for County
Attorney Robert H. Allen of Madison
county, the attorney general also held
that candidates for consolidated of
fices must have the qualifications of
both offices and that a section of the
codes providing certain qualifications
for county surveyors Is unconstitu
tional.
Referring to the second and third
questions, the attorney general pointed
out similar rulings had been made by
other attorneys general of the state in
past years.
Citing a section of the state consti
tution, his opinion explained county
commissioners may, upon their own
motion, consolidate any two or more
of the enumerated offices within six
months pror to the general electon.
Section 47491 of the revised codes,
however, provides such office consolida
tion might be effected also when 25
percent of the electors of the county
would sign a petition and present it to
the county commissioners "any time
not later than seven months before the
date” of a general election.
That section, the opinion held, ‘‘ap
plies only to procedure when consoli
dation is effected by petition and does
not conflict with the six months’ lim
itation prescribed by the constitution
when the commissioners themselves de
cide upon the consolidation.”
