that Dillon was after him with revol-

Tom Cox, of Denver, another of the
star pedestrians who will take part in
the six-day roll at the Washington rink.
Minneapolis, has arrived in the Flour
City. Cox is a hard man to beat, ana is
now in pretty good condition. He will
not cease training.
The announcement that a st. Paul
letter carrier, w. l.. Drake. had en-
tered for the race. has stirred up the
Minneapolis mail delivererS not little.
A movement is now on foot to put a
Minneapolis carrier on the track as a
direct opponent of the st. Paul man.
Il he rivalry will be intense.
F. E. Bens II. the other st. Paul man
who has entered, IS not beginner.
Benson has been on the tan bark be-
fore, and has done we'll. He has trav-
eled 30 miles in 10 hours, he made l0S
miles in "a hours, and has covered over
500 miles in six days. He is only thirty
two years old, and is in the best OF con-
ditlOn.
An unexpected entry is that of j. S.
Hartman. Hartman dropped into
Minneapolis couple. of days ago and
calmly announced his intention of hav-
ing go for the prizes. He is the man
who made the trip overland from San
Francisco to New York, over 5000 miles,
in 60 days. He is training hard at
Washington rink. 1t now looks as If
the number of starters in this race
would be the largest ever known in a
siX-day race.

Cued Sailors.

New YORK, JAN S.-The steamer Ne
vada arrived in port to-day, bringing
the crew, nineteen in number, of the
British steamer Pollux, oil-laden, and
bound from Rouen for Philadelphia.
They were picked up when the Nevada
was two days out from Glasgow. Capt.
Wilson, of the PolluX, told terrible
tale of hardship ana suffering. His yes
sci had been disabled in the great storm
of Nov. 20, and. being only provisioned
for. an ordinary voyage, all hands had
suffered greatly from starvation. For
twenty-nine days the pnmps had to be
worked constantly, and yet the daily al
lowance of food was but seven ounces
of canned meat per man. There was no
bread or water. The coal gave out long
before they were rescued, and the men
also suffered greatly from cold. One of
the Pollux's firemen was washed over
board in the storm.
