pub,icans from all sections of the county
were present. At this meeting two life
long Democrats made speeches and an
nounced their intention of hereafter affili-
ating with the Republican party. One of
them, Mn. Johnson, is a veteran of two
wars, the Mexican and late wars. through
both of which he served with honor. The
other, Capt. r. L. Lttell, is a hero of
the late war and has been a lifelong Dem
ocrat. they both say they are done with
the Democratic party.

throwing shot putting and the like, he was
about the host man living from 1875 to
1879, his only rivals being Harry Buer-
meyer and William b. Curtis.
Father Bill Curtis and Buermeyer rank
next to Oelrichs rs strong men. In gem
crnl athletic way today Father Bill sur
passes him, for he always keeps in condi-
ton, while Herman will allow himself to
get bit off edge. Curtis was famous as
an oarsman and an athlete go years ago,
when great men hourished on the river
and the cinder path. He was one of the
few amateur oarsmen who could make the
renowned Charles Il. Courtney hustle"
in n lively manner to win the NEED of VIC
tory. He is really tho founder as well as
promoter of American sports, and SO came
by his sobriquet of Father Bill.
Harry Buerlneyer is accounted by Pro-
fessor Mike Donovan, Billy Madden and
other authorities the cleverest big amateur
with a pair of gloves living. He, like Oel-
richs, was booked to meet John l.. Sullivan
in private when the latter was in his
prime, but somehow the match fell
through. When Egan, the Troy Terror,
was talked of as n possible avenger of Pad
dy Ryan and was hungry to fight Sulli-
van, some New York sports induced Buer-
meyer to try him out" There was one
round, and the Terror was indicted into n
state of somnolent quietude. John l.. was
not harassed. Buormeyer can wrestle,
row and run as we'll as he can box. He
also cxcels at heavy lifting, dumbbell exer-
else, putting the shot and throwing the
hammer.
Another strong man" in private life Is

bodyguard and afterward his partner. In
early life he was u sailor before the mast
He is over so years of age, yet is II perfect
Hercules in strength. He is clever at all
kinds of athletic games and can hold his
own in that regard with his handsome
athletic boys, who do not take back
seat for anybody at their home in Yon-
kers, N. Y.
George Work and Fred Coster are two
other athletic gentlemen who could give
many of the professional boxers cards and
spades in the game of hit, stop and get
away" Both are millionaires and don t
care to box in public, more's the pity.
Coster is regarded by expert judges as tho
cleverest middleweight living, not even
excepting the renowned Bob FitZsimmons.

Oclrichs and Bucrncyer. Both of these

Ross Is Told.

Another Story of the Killing of Robert
Ross ls Told.
TROY, n. v, juno 23.-Anothcr totally
different story of the murder of Robert
Ross was told yesterday. Henry Lee, a
witness called by the prosecution, said that
he saw Robert Ross struggling with q
man in the gully on the west side of Orr
street, opposite the polling place; that
while the struHgl ny WAS going on man
ran up to th> edge of til" gully, leaned
over and fired three shots in quick sue
ccssion at the head t Robert Ross. The
man whom Ross Wa~ struggling with then
got up and ran north. Ross got up after
him and struggled ont of the gully for
about eight feet and then fell down in a
sitting position.
Witness sworo that he went right to
where Ross fell that no one fired another
shot at Ross, and that when he reached
him Ross was dead. Witness thought the
man who fired the three shots was Shea,
but he could not swear it, although he
stood but 30 feet away from where the
shooting was going on.
This makes the third story of the muir
der which are SO different from each other
that they almost seem t. be histories of
three different homicidcs.
