Oscar Gardner in His Contract to Defeat
DeIOuSherty, Has His Hands Full.
Oscar Gardner has agreed to fight
Cockey Delougherty in Kansas City next
Sunday, and Gardner in SO doing real
ICES that he has quite as much as he can
do. Gardner weighs only 100 pounds,
while his antagonist weighs AS.
Even conceding Gardeners superior
science, he has a contract on his hands
which will require a pretty tough strug-
gle in order to deliver the goods. Catch
weight contests are pretty uneq ual
matches when Feather" be he ever
80 clever, comedies eighteen or twenty
pounds. This weight question doesn't
seem to worry Gardner and his hackers.
If the kid, however, suffers defeat, he
will receive a set back, despite the ply
steal advantage OF Delougherty, who is
an obscure man. The Kids prospective
engagements in the east would suffer in

Wheat opened firm at yesterdays clos.
ing prices and slumped off little during
the first hour, caused by heavy selling
by the crowd on predictions of local
showers, which did not materialiZe ex-
cept in the eastern part of Kansas. All
offerings were quickly absorbed and the
market steadied up and remained steady
and closed firm at the top.
A close examination of the winter
wheat conditions shows that very large
per cent is dead now, having been killed
by the last cold snap and it will take
some rain before an accurate estim ~
can be placed on the damage that has
been done. 1t is now claimed that the
winter wheat has been damaged severely
by the last cold wave and on top of this
comes sensational reports of damage by
dry weather and hot winds.
Export demand is good, cash demand
fair and foreign markets firm, with ad
vancing cables and our visible rapidly
decreasing are surely not bearish influ-
ences and we look for a firm advance in
the near future and would not miss an
opportunity to own some wheat at these

Corn opened strong with an advance
of * over night and although there was
not much trading fhe market remained
very strong and cloted firm with an adj
vance of d over yesterdays prices.
1t is long time hefore another corn
crop, and as we need every bushel we
now have on hand for home consump
ton, we don't see how we can have any
decline of consequence. Cash demand
| is good. We are friendly to the long
side of corn and would buy it on any de-
| cline
Oats are very firm and trade active and

! and we think they are purchase to the
extent of a bargain.
| Provisions quiet but firm with strong
undertone There was lot of July pork
sold today but it went into good hands
and all offerings we're quickly absorbed
by Armour and the packers believe in
higher prices.

THE LARNEY-PURTELL FEUD.
A Bit of Unwritten History Regarding tn
Proposed HIiII-Pugiiistic Gossip.

A Bit of Unwritten History Regarding the
Proposed NIiII-Pugilistic Gossip.
The fight between "Icelander" Jack
Larney of Topeka, and Paddy Purtell
the Saginaw Kid" will not occur at
Leavenworth, at least not if Chief of
Police Maduska can prevent it. The
Leavenworth chief has issued an official
ukase that the fight shall not be held
within the city limits. This however,
will not cut much figure for the fight
will proceed, if not at Leavenworth,
somewhere else.
There is bit of unwritten history iu
connection with the proposed fight.
There is a feud of long standing between
Larney and Purtell and on the afternoon
that Purtell reached Galena to fight
Johnson the Swede, he met the Icelander
on the street and PurtelPs desire for a
street "scrap" was intense. His hacker
Rye Goodwin, had to hold Purtell lest he
give the Icelander a chill there on the
public street. When these two pugiJists
meet in the ring. there will be something
more than 81 800 to prompt hard blows
and scientific fighting.
Rye Goodwin, hacker of Purtell, has
challenged Larney, agreeing to put up
81 600 to his $500 on the result. The
Icelander said last night he considered
such a proposition snap and is anxious
for the Purtell fellows to put up forfeit
| He does not seem to think Purtell has
any great desire to try conclusions with
him. Most of the local sports are of the
opinion that Purtell would have very
little show with Larney.
