SINISTER INCIDENT
ATTEMPT ON BEAULIVRE
(By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright.)
(Received July 3, 9.30 a.m.)
BRISBANE, This Day,
What is described as a sinister incident, aimed at preventing the New Zealander Beaulivre from taking his place in the Doomben Newmarket Handicap next Saturday, was reported yesterday when, during the early track work, the local horse Yeppoon collided with a strand of fencing wire stretched across the track overnight by some person whom the police are trying to trace. Yeppoon was nearly thrown down, and a prominent bettor is of the opinion that the plot was instigated by starting-price bookmakers, who have heavy commitments on Beaulivre. Beaulivre had not left his stall when the incident was reported. A special police guard is now stationed at Beaulivre's stall.
