story Of the Fight.
It was a short, sharp and decisive fight
too brief TO have any of the elements Of
savagery in Il. Il was a foregone conclu-
sion from the moment when the men
stepped to the center Of the ring. Corbett's
hatred Of the Englishman coming to the
surface inhibited him from shaking hands
with the man who had so uniformly
abused and insulted him. There was all
but murder in Corbett's eyes. They faced
each other, and the intense feeling Of
hatred almost gave Corbett the fight as he
cornered the Englishman, and as his long
arms shot out with the force of a catapult
there was vengeance in the wind.
Mitchell showed wonderful cleverness In
the beginning in getting out Of the close
quarters into which the superior size,
reach aud weight of his opponent bore
him, but there was no faltering in Cor
belts plan Of campaign, and he slowly
surrounded the Briton, raining in upon
his head and sides a shower Of savage
punches.
There was despair in Mitchell's face as
he tried vainly 10 elude his agile pursuer
and finally when Corbett closed with his

THE CHECK WAS FORGED

Cas. Mallory Uses the Name of W. M,
Hurlburt and Raises $50. 6G )
o. s.. Mallory, young man employed
went into P. Fl. Seery's saloon Friday
night and asked the proprietor if he
would cash q check for $40. Mr. Seery
knowing him we'll, did so. Young Mallory
purchased some drinks and left. The
check, with others, was deposited Satur-
day in the Manufacturers bank. The
check was dated June Is and made pay
able to @. S. Mallory by W. M. Hurlburt.
In the Manufacturers bank it was thought
the signature of Hurlburt was rather
queer, but knowing that he did business
with the Dime savings bank the check in
the course of routine business was sent
there. Treasurer Parsons at once pro-
nounced the signature of MIR Hurlburt a
forgery. By strang coincidence MIR
Hurlbert was in the bank at the time and
he also pronounced the check forgery.
1t was returned to the Manufacturers
bank and Cashier Mitchell brought it to
Mr. Seery. He took back the check, pay
ing some S21 in exchange. In the mean
time E S. Mallory, father of the young
man, who is employed by Hurlburt, heard
of the transaction and this morning settled
the bill with Mr. Seery. The endorsement
of G. s. Mallory on the back of the check
is very different from the writing on the
face and looks as if it might have been
made out by third person. In the mean
time the young man is missing. No
papers have been issued for his arrest, as
neither Mr. Seery nor the banks are in
clined to prosecute him.

1t Was All Right.

Fashionable New York restaurants
would drive Bowery proprietor to sui
eide with their apparently lax and reck-
less business methods. 1t is the desire
of well known resorts to save their pa
irons from all annoyances and embar-
easements. An absentminded man,
shortly after he became engaged to be
married, invited his fiancce, her married
sister and party to the theater and
afterward to supper. He ordered an ex-
tremely good supper and was feeling
rather proud of the result when it &C.

felt "panicky. He left the room in

The Indian Canoe.

What wonderful creation is the
Indian canoe! Light as foam, blown like
a feather by the slightest breeze, re-
sponsive as cork to the least ripple.
Yet this same fragile bark is adapted to
the widest waters. 1t leaps i'll safety
from crest to crest of the cataract or
buoyantly surmountS the pillows of the
stormy lake 1t was we'll for US that it
was so, for we We're heading toward
broad sheet of water that was thickly
dotted with white caps. We were soon
far enough out to feel the full force Of
the gale that stung our faces with wind
and spray. To go against such II wind
with bark canoe would be an utter
impossibility, but to run with it was
great fun. Our safety depended upon
the skill of the steersman i'll keeping her
before the wind. Certainly the day had
commenced auspiciously. We were max
ing quick time. The complacent Irish
man was taking to himself all the credit
for this gale as though it We're part of
his business. 1 was forbidden to pad
die, but with Captain Mick's consent
I tied the tails of my rubber coat to the
handles of two paddles and inserted the
blades in the armholes. This eXtempore
sail greatly added to the speed of our
flying craft. On we flew, outstripping
the spray that leaped after us and fell
short This kind of sailing furnished
sensations for which no analogy can be
found in the whole range of navigation.
Instead of plunging deeply and laboring
heavily, as a wooden boat would, our
buoyant vessel scarcely deigned to
plunge at all, but seemed to skim like a
sea gull on the very foam itself. So we
crossed Lake Talon in boat which
man could carry, doing eight miles of
angry waves without shipping thimble-
full of water.

NOT IN FAVOR OF BONDS

Well known Citizen Says He Can Build
the Proposed Extension to the Wash
ington School For $4,000. =
Strong opposition to the proposition to
issue 5000, 900 school bonds is being de-
veloped and it is hardly probable that the
matter will receive favorable considera
ton, at least until there is radical i'm
provement in the business situation. A
number of prominent citizens have ex-
pressed themselves to a representative of
the DEMOCRAT concerning the matter and
all are opposed to further increasing the
bonded Indebtedness of the district, while
admitting that there is urgent need of
increased school facilities. 1t seemed to
be the general opinion that it would be
more in the line of economy to levy tax
of fifteen mills for term of years to raise
the required amount. Again, it is claimed
that the amount asked is more than is
necessary. One of the largest property
owners in the city said to a DEMOCRAT
reporter yesterday: Let us build good
substantial buildings without ornamental
ton that is of no practical use. They ask for
$40, 900 for four room addition to the
Washington school. can build four
rooms for $4,000" The gentleman re-
ferred to did not authorize the use of his
name, but is not afraid to give it if any
body wants to know who he is. A former
member of the board of education talked
in the same strain and added that he
thought the district had enough money on
hand to pay for some of the proposed i'm
provements without resorting to bonds.
