A CHAMPION BEATEN.
West Points Boss Slugger Sent to the
Hospital.

West Points Boss slugger Sent to the
Hospital.
New YORK, Feb. 29.-Ever since he donned
the West Point uniform Cadet James Wal
lace Broatch, of South Dakota. has been
given the palm as a boxer at the famous
academy. He was known rs BOSS Boxer
Broatch,o But Boxer Broatch has fallen.
He is now lying battered and bruised in the
academy hospital. He WAS knuckled within
an inch of his life last Sunday. He Is no
longer boss boxer. Cadet Albert h. Saxton,
a San Francisco man, now wears the lau-
lels.
Az in the case of many another fallen
hero. a lady's smiles have had something to
do with the pommeling Broatch received
from Saxton. The pair met at church next
morning, knelt at the same pew, but when
they parted they did not shake hands. The
affair of the night before had been talked
over-Broach had challenged Saxton, and
Saxton had quickly accepted. -Four O'Clock
came and in the cellar under the day
room, the contestants met. Each brought
two friends. They stripped to the waist,
and at it they went. Breach IS big and
bravny. A wallop of his fist is like the
stroke of a hammer. Saxton is tall. but
slender. He is wiry. though, and a smart,
singing tap from his knuckles resembles a
shot from a catapult.
Three rounds were fought. In the first
round Saxton was severely punished. At
the end of it Broatch was without a scratch.
The third round lasted five minutes, and
then Broatch lay bleeding on the cellar
floor. He was unconscious, and his seconds
feared he was dead. The news spread like
wildfire through the academy.
All the cadets were glad hat the boss
boxer had been stopped, but their sympa-
thy went out to him when they saw the
blood gushing from the ugly cuts in his
face. A stretcher was brought and Rroatch
was carried to the hospital. In a few hours
he was almost himself again. His defeat
gave him more pain than his wounds. He
was so chaprined at having been beaten by
Saxton that he cried like a baby. Monday
night his condition alarmed the doctors.
Symptoms of fever appeared. When a re-
porter called at the academy yesterday
Bloatch WAS too feyerish' to be seen.

The assistant passenger agent Of one of
the leading trunk lines running out of Chi
cage has an excellent wife, whose only
fault, if fault 1t be, il mn unreasonable
aversion to liquor in any form. A favorite
boast to her lady friends ia that spirituous
drinks have never been admitted into her
house since she was married.
Last Christmas one OF her husbands
friends entered his Office and placing Il
bottle on his desk that was neatly wrapped
in green tissue paper, said; MY wife wants
you to try Rome of her new ketchup,
George; take it home with my compli-
ments."
George pulled out a box of cigars and
SAID, as he offered them, that he would %

overlooked the bottle. which had been
hastily dropped into a drawer.
Friday night he happened to think OF the
ketchup and showed the bottle into his
'overcoat pocket as he was leaving the office.
His wife was entertaining two delegates TO
Il temperance convention, and no thoughtl 1t
would be q good opportunity to sample the

As the meeting was to DO held early. he
found his wife and her friends at the tea
table when he arrived home. Pulling out
the bottle, he placed it before his wife, re-
marking as he did SO that a friend had
given HIM Il mighty fine mess of ketchnp.
"Oh. that's nlcs," said his good lady as
she slowly u~nwrspped the tissue paper.
Meanwhile George had gone in the hall
to knock off his rubbers and lave his hands.
was a dead silence in the dining
room when he re-entered it and a bottle OF
brandy standing bolt upright be-
his plate seemed to explain the chilli

OF course he protested innocence and was
in his explanations, but those two
visitors wen away full of dire misgiyings.
As for George, he will hereafter open all
packages before taking them home.

Strange Story Connected With the Death
of an Indiana Miser.

Strange Story Connected With the Death
OF an Indiana Miser.
A searching party that had been two days
looking for Louis Vilmas, q rich old miser,
who had been last seen in this city on
Christmas evening, found him on Saturday
night dead in a small creek in the woods
near his house, which was OF q hill near
Mooresyille. five miles north of here, says
a New Albany special to the st. Louis
Globe Democrat. Connected with his
death is a strange story. Nilnas had come
to New Albany, as was his usual custom, TO
purchase presents, as he said, for the chill
dren of his aged sister, residing somewhere
in the state of Maine. He was seen to have
Il large waa of bank notes, which he dis.
PLAYED III the bar~room of the hotel, and
startled all who knew him by Offering to
treat the whole house. He drank several
egg-nogs, aud became az merry ae q young
man. HIS conduct was SO unlike his for
mer self that no was asked what had come
oyer him. 10 this he replied: This is
my birthday. | have now lived three score
and ten years. which ] swote | would do on
tho day ! was fifty. FL celebrate it if it
Kills me-"
For al hour the old man unbosomod him
self to the landlord, and old the story of
his life. He then confessed that the woman
to whom he annually sent prcsents was an
old sweetheart who had Tilted him in his
younger days. Nilmas said he had killed
his old ilval one cold winter niohtin Maine.
after the two had been on Il spree together.
They ,quarreled on a bridge over n creek,
near the home of the girl with whom both
were in love, and he. being the stronger.
threw nis companion over the parapet. The
next morning his rivals body was found
frozen in the ice. Miser Vilmas's bearors
were inclined to doubt his story. and ioked
him about it. saying that he had d rank too
many e0gno2s. On this he Strengthened
himself up, and repliel that maybe he had,
and then buttoncd his overcoat across his
chest and started home on horseback.
On Christmas it was reported that Vilmas'
horse had returned home without its rider.
IL people at once jumped to the concluslon
that he had been murdered. Saturday night
he was found rs described in the small
creek. The body was frozen i'll tho ice SC
firmly that it had to be chopped out. Those
who had heard the miser's Christmas even
ing story were stri3kon with great wonde,
Mt the apparent sign of the land of fate il
