For some time past Mr.. Crossman,

to be an owl, which was slowly de-

CHASE'S BLOODHOUNDS.
He Explains Why He Got Them and oth

Warden Dick Chase, Of theKan-

yesterday. Mr.. Chase recently pur-
chased two bloodhounds for use at the
prison, and the report has gaiaed cur
rency that he denied having the dogs.
In regard to the matter he said: Il
thought it was necessary to have the
dogs, as they are a great convenience
in capturing prisoners should they es-
cape. There are SO many places near
the penitentiary that prisoners could
hide in that it is hard task to find
them If they once get away, and the
presence of the dogs will have n good
effect, think, in teaching the men
that an attempt To escape would
b, useless We tried the dogs the
other evening on two of the officers
and they worked beautifully. They
treed the men and kept there until
we got them, and on the way back TO
the penitentiary they kept closer
watch of the men than any of the men
in the party. 1t is no secret that we
have the dogs, and if the next warden
don't want them | will take them with
me-"

to any other portion Of his pugilistic
equipment. They must be hardened
by soaking in brine and bathing in al
cohol or varnish. The manner OF clos
ing the fist is also an important matter,
and the close observer will see that
even such eminent authorities as Cor
bett, Mitchell and Jackson differ on
this point, although they all endeavor
to secure an arrangement OF the fng-
ers which will best prevent damage
from an opponents hard Uranium.
COrbett has a long, well deveoped
hand, with long fingers Under assid-
uous aud careful training his hands
have during the last three years grown
extraordinarily strong and large. They
are now perfect, and there is little
danger Of any accident occurring during
the progress Of fight.
Jockson hand is somewhat similar TO
Corbett's, save that it is trifie larger
and harder. Jackson's hands are natu-
rally hard and strong, so that 1t takes
but little time TO get them into con-
dition.
Mitchell is handicapped in the mat
Ter of fists. His hands Is very loose
iointed, big and fat. This looseness
interferes seriously with his hitting
power, and on the eve OF a fight he pays
more attention to his hands than any
thing else.
