Bull Fight in Colorado.

Cripple Creek, Colo, July 11.-Ar-
rangements are being made for the
holding of carnival of sports, of
which a genuine bull fight is to be the
principal feature. 1t will be held at
Gillett, one of the towns in the Grip
pie Creek district, and while no date
has yet been announced, it will occur
early in the fall. The bull fight will
be conducted in the same way as in
the City of Mexico, and two of the
most famous toreadors of the Mexican
capital have been engaged to conduct
the affair. A pen 140 feet in diameter
has been constructed and seats for 1 o.
900 persons are being erected. A
Wild West show will be another fea-
ture. This will be the first bull fight
ever witnessed in the United States.
While the authorities state that they
will prevent the affair, the manage
ment is confident that the law can be
juggled with until the fight is over.

vowel Defense of Jimmy Logue, the
Notorious Burglar.

around crook. Mrs. Jennie Sullivan,
the nurse of the mother, who died re-
Gently in St. Louis, is coming with pa

the ground that his criminal tendency
is altogether due to parental influences.
The principal document which Mrs.

her son, which tells him of the sorrow
he has caused her. The dying woman
wrote:
Neither our folks nor you have ever

to myself, but in spite of all you have

knowing what do, cannot feel hard
toward you, for it is now my firm be-
lief that 1, myself, your poor, old
mother, am responsible for your bad
and unlawful habits. Just before you
were born your father was drinking
more than was good for him and would
spend all his wages in drink if he had
an opportunity. found it very hard
to get any money from him for oul
bread and meat. At last got so that
the only way could get any money
was by waiting until he was asleep and
then picking his pockets.
Many and many night have got
ten up when he was asleep by my side
and like thief gone through his peck
cts and taken what money I found.
Then he had temper, and l was
always afraid when l would be picking
his pockets that he would wake up anG

Probable Loss of Life by
Hriday's Storm.

Probable Loss of Life by
Eriday's Storm.
Ksasas City, July 10.-Reports of
storms during the past three days show
the entire eastern watershed of the
Rocky mountains to the Nebraska and
Iowa lines and to Texas, were swept by
the severest blow. Fields Of grain that
promised the most bountiful yield for
many years, were swept bare of vegeta-
ton. The seas of rain were abetted
in their work of destruction by lorna
does. 1t is too early yet to sum up the
loss, but the total is appalling, and
the loss to those whom the angry ele-
ments spared life have little left to
sustain it.
Stories of the storm are so familiar
that statistical summary is all there
is left to tell. The storm focus en-
braced an area of 200 square miles,
with the southwestern corner of Mis-
souri, as its center. The greatest loss
of life is reported from Winona, Mo-,
where eleven corpses have been found,
with as many more missing.
At Baxter Springs, in southwestern
Kansas, five were killed, and eleven
seriously injured by the cyclone that
accompanied the storm. One person
was drowned at Columbus and two at
Ottawa, Kan. At Van Buren,, Ark, a
mother and babe were drowned. A
family of five was encamped on the
banks of Fish creek, Indian territory.
Nothing of them or their belongings
was found except a part of their wagon
on pile of driftwood. At Thomas
vile, Mo-, where the rainfall was four
inches in one hour, five persons were
lost.
Unconfrmed reports are received OF
the loss of life as follows: Three at
Fayetteville, Ark; one at Paola, Kan.
ing party in Indian territory. This
gives the known and probable loss as
forty three lives. This total will be
increased when the receding waters
permits thorough search.
The loss of property can be placed il
the millions. Dwellings, fences ant
farm buildings were carried off, ant
highway anu TdllrOdu DrluSoS SWEEP
away. Thirty Of the eighty buildings
in Winona succumbed. Five resi-
dences, church and warehouse wen
down at Baxter Springs, Kan. Abou
Jefferson City, Mo. many square mile
of growing grain were destroyed
Traffic on the Fort Scott & Memphis
railroad is temporarily suspended.
Reports of damage to property othel
than above noted, come from fiy,
points in Kansas, and nine in Mis-
souri,, six in Arkansas, and two in In
dian territory. The storm spent itsel
in Illinois, but, having lost its force
proved blessing to the crops.
The above summaries are only {

Corneil.Leander Race Wound
Up in a Row.
GREAT DIsAPPoINTMENr go All,


Henely on Thames, July II. The
first day of the seth anniversary of the
water Derby of Great Britain was a
disappointment to all concerned. Cor
nell was pitted against the crew of the
Leander Boat Club, composed of ex-
Oxford and Cambridge oarsmen, and
said to be the strongest on the river.
There was some confusion st the
start, owing to the presence near the
starting-line of a number of boats,
which seriously interfered with Lean
der. Consequently the latter was
somewhat slow in getting in position.
Then, when the umpire asked if the
crews were ready, Cornell promptly
answered eyes" and the umpire
claims Leander did the same. This
the Leanders deny. In any case the
umpire gave the word $50" and the
Cornell crew shot away, but only hall
the Leander crew started, and theil
stroke protested that they were not
ready. In spite of all this the umpire
allowed Cornell to pull over the course,
and awarded the Americans the race.
The Leanders have lodged protest
against the umpire's decision, and il
was referred to the board of stewards,
but the board will not change the deci-

Huntington, Pa, July 11.-Miss
Margaret May Thompson, who has in
stituted legal proceedings against DR..
Gilbert J. Palen, of Philadelphia, a
nephew of the late Jay Gould, for
breach of promise of marriage, claim
ing $25, 200 damages, is now at her

case. She is professional nurse and
enjoys the highest public esteem for
her charming personality. She is 21
years old.
''In the first place." said she, cdr.
Palen did not attend me professionally
when was ill in Philadelphia as he
states. DR.. Palen was interested in
my recovery and to my father said
that we were engaged to be married,
but that he did not want his father tc
learn of our engagement until after
his graduation.
"When I was home in March last
DR.. Palen wrote to me, saying that he
was coming to see me, and on March
8 he did come. My parents being
aware of his coming, and knowing Of
our engagement, naturally gave him &
hearty welcome. Up to this time ht
had not told me of his relationship tc
the Gould family nor of his fnancia
standing. These facts, had 1 known
them, would have had no influence
in inducing me to give favorable an

GOSSIP ABOUT THE BOXERS
Corbett Talks at Length About the
Coming Fight.

New York, July 1O.-Now that
Fitzsimmons has been declared mot
guilty" interest centers in the big
fight, and what the men are doing in
preparation. Corbett was seen by a
reporter today, and said:
"You can say one thing for me. I
never started to train feeling as we'll as
| do now. have not commenced my
hard work yet, and shall not until
about six weeks before the fight.
Il do feel certain of the result.
was never more so in my life. In the
first place, never considered Fitzsim-
mons in my class, and the only way he
can convince me that he is is by whip
ping me. Some people are very I'M
kind in their remarks about me, accus-
ing me of being afraid to meet him,
and OF being newspaper fighter.
don't think there is anything in my
| record that sustains their statements,
When Sullivan was declared champion
after meeting Kilrain, it was three
years before he fought again, and yet
no one accused him of being a coward,
in spite OF the repeated challenges of
Slavin and Jackson, and when Slayin
met him personally Sullivan told him
he had retired.
mo, if I had shown a great haste
to meet Fitzsimmons when the match
was proposed, these same people would
have said was looking for easy hon
ors by going out of my class. Of
course know Fitz is anxious to meet
me- Why shouldn't he be? He has
everything to gain. Previous to his
being matched to fight me his theatre
cal ventures were anything but sue
cessful. Since then he has made any
amount of money out of it. If whip
him he is still champion middle
weight. If he lasts TWENTY-FIVE
rounds or more people will say he is
better man than Sullivan, and if, by
accident, he should win, he is a made
man. Ii you thought you stood a
ghost OF show, wouldn't you take
those chances? About his confidence
OF winning, l will only say one thing.
give Fitz credit for being a smart
man. Would any shrewd man boast
that he could whip another when bv
merely keeping silent he could get
odds of two to one for his money? His
utterances appear to be the boasting of
