samuel Freeth Causes Another Mild
sn1urhau

The clash between Samuel Freeth and
the Handicapped of the Metropolitan As
ISOLATION of the "A. A. A. has caused
a rather unpleasant disturbance in the
association
Freeth and the Handicapped do not hold
each other in high reputa, and they say
in private things that would not look
well In print. AT the meeting on Monday
night affairs arrived at a point where
cool heads only averted disclosures that
would nave been unpleasant for the asso-
citation and several members of at least
enc club. The disclosures would involve
the systematic ppawning OF medals and
trophies won at amateur athletic meet
ings for a long period. It is pretty WeH
settled that a lot of alleged amateur
athletes occupy places scarcely less en-,
barrassing than those Of the Class
and track men in violating the rules,
and believing that they can escape detec-
ton they possess unlimited assurance.
AS a general rule, the worst ofIenaefS
are not native New Workers, but SINCE
they have been in that city they nave
followed athletics as a means OF liveu-
hood. The leading men in the A.. A. u
know of these cases, but no steps are
being taken to put a stop to the vfo-
lations of the rules, for they do not care
TO expend the time and trouble necessary.
Some day, however, there. viii be a

Paid Department IN Wow
Dawson is without any organized

necessary engines and appurtenances,
and has access to all the wafer ii needs
from the fire plugs. 1t seems that with
these advantages there should be ap
excellent fire company here, butfor three
wears past there has been no real organl-
ation to fight the fire fiend.
At present the selection of a chief, a
foreman and other officers is made by
the fire companies, and their selections
ratified by the city council. This has
not been done in three years. The
members of the companies are relieved
from the payment of street tax, and there
are about hundred or more people il

On Friday last there was conference

which meeting it was agreed to leave the
whole matter of the reorganization of the
department. to a committee of six, two
from e.ch white company and two from

1t may be that this action will result
in Dawson having pa d fire department,

place at Graves Station by Rev. w. E.
Mumford, agent of the Orphans Home at

Graves Station and started to tie the mule
he was driving to limb. The Ii NIB
broke, and the mule reared and dashed
forward, hurting Mr.. Dism1k to the
ground. He vas unconscious for short
while, but finally recovered and was able
to get home by himself. His friends
will be glad to know that there are no
serious after-effects from the collision.

Pension money Received.

Saturday Ordinary Roberts received
checks for the old soldiers who have
heretofore drawn pensions from the
state, and they will receive their money
by calling on him at his Office. 1t now
s GEMS that no pensions will be paid this
wear under the r2cent act on account OF
the smallness Of the appropriation and
the large number of decrepid veterans.
The legislature provided for the pay
ment of 500 pensions under the new law,
while the number of old soldiers entitled
to aid by it exceeds 1000. AS there is
nothing in the law that prefers one APP
plicant over another, it is very probable
that it will be imperative.
