Fitting IS CHAMPION.
Belden Unable to Wrest the Title
From Him.


Victor Citing. of Chicago, is still the cham
pion of the Northwest at tennis He proved
his title to the honor yesterday afternoon by
defeating George Beiden. the pride of the
Minneapolis tennis boys, in three straight
sets. The courts were wet and showers fell all
the afternoon, but the attendance was large
in spite of it The wet courts hampered the
players. They had to be covered with sand,
rendering they slippery. Both Elting
and Belden were cautious in their
play. Citing tried to play. at the net
IL the beginning, but Belden lobbed
continually and forced him back. Belden
was unfortunate in putting number of balls
into the net In the second set, at one point,
the bali crossed the net twenty-siX times be-
fore either man missed an unusual run.
Citing won in three straight sets. 81. Ga,
6-3. E. Wrenn and Jayne were to finish the
play in the doubles with P. Wrenn and Card
ner, but rain forced a cessation of play in the
first set when the match stood 81 in
favor of E. Wrenn and Jayne;
Jayne's serving was winning. Last
night at the tennis banquet at Hotel
St Louis, F. H. Peavey presented the
championship badge to Elting. Today the
double championship will be settled. and
some consolation games will be played if the
courts be in condition.

call His Greatness.
WICHITA, Kan. July 26.-Alexander
Berkman, who attempted to murder Mr..
Frick, spent the first three wears
of his life in America in Kansas
and Colorado. He worked here
in a German printing office for
four days in 1856, while tramping his
way to kearney county, where there is
a colony of Russian Jews, among whom
he remained for two years, taking part
in the murderous county seat fight
of that district. From there he
went to Garden City. where he
worked at the case until one day he
suddenly got up from his stool, left the
office, and. picking up a big rock,
hurled it through the window, strik-
ing the foreman of the office, who
was alone at the time. He then
entered the room, tumbled every
thing on the floor and lett town. He
next turned up at Pueblo, Col, where
he was imprisoned for stabbing man.
When he got out he went East. He was
always morose and violent when
angered.

beyond question. During this period
he did substitute work on the Ledger.

Almost with one accord every printer
and newspaper man in the city turned
their thoughts to the count" after read
ing the meagre descriptions printed Of
him. He made himself obnoxious to
MS brother compositors by his
loud-mouthed utterances on all
labor matters, and gave ample evidence
OF being an anarchist at heart. Often
he was squelched by his fellows. From
all accounts, he had been in New
before; but with one exception he
never let remarks drop that would es-
tabliSh his antecedents, though he ad-
mitted that Orlowitz was not his correct
name.

Sensation.


Special to the Globe.
DULUTH. MIMI. July 26.-The morn

sational account of alleged boodling in
the city council. 1t seems that few
days ago, after an important resolution
was passed by the council and signed
by the mayor. settling up all the dis
putes between the Duluth Gas and
Water company and the city. the city
clerk handed to Aid. Thomas an envelope
containing $500 in bills. The alderman
went directly to Mayor d'Autremont
with the money and asked him what it
all meant. The mayor at once made in
quirles, and shortly after the disclosure
by Thomas one or two other aldermen
sent in the $500 they had received to
the mayor. The money is now in pos
session of Judge Ensign. of the district
court. 1t is alleged that some of the
aldermen retain the money. Thomas is
reported as saying that he will push the
guilty parties to the wall. The matter
has created quite sensation, and pros
ecutions will probably begin at once.
