WHITE IS UNDER ARREST
The Cattle King Locked Up
Yesterday for Contempt
of Court.
Would Not Pay His Wife's Counsel
Fees and Went to the
County Jail.

George E. White, the Round Valley
'cattle king, whose domestic and finan-
cial difficulties have made him well known
through the medium of the courts, took
uphis abode at the County Jail last even
ing, where he will remain until this morn
ing and perhaps longer if the Supreme
Court refuses to intervene in his behalf.
When Whites wife began an action for
divorce some time ago she obtained a par
tial victory in an allowance of $500 for
counsel fees.
White neglected to pay the sum. though
admonished by the court that its man.
date must be obeyed, and stated that he
would go to jail first. Then a warrant was
issned for his arrest on a charge of con.
tempt of court, but for some reason the
Deputy Sheriffs who were charged with
taking him into custody failed to find him.
Recently he TOOK up his residence with a
splrituallst colony, and hearing of his
change of address the Sheriff's deputy lay
in wait for him and finally served the
warrant.
He was taken to the County Jail and his
attorney hurried to the Supreme Court,
where he sued out a writ of haheas corpus
returnable this morning at 10 o'clock.
If the writ is not granted White will
stay in jail until the $500 awarded Mrs.
White by Judge Hebbard is forthcoming.

knocked him out most completely. No
body was more astonished than Brady
himself. He did not believe when he en-
tered the ring that he could knock out his
man in weeks punching, but he believed
he could eventually ''stop" him.
Such is the case with Corbett and
Sharkey. Corbett is satisfied he will
eventually get favorable decision, but he
does not quite see where he is going to
knock Sharkey out. One good blow will
do this, and there are four rounds in
which one of the cleverest boxers in the
world has time to find the proper place to
land it.
There will be heavy odds offered against
Corbett finishing his man in the first,
second or third rounds.
In connection with the betting on the
contest there are to be pools sold on the
feather-weight contest between George
Dixon and Martin Flaherty in Boston to-
night.
Dixon is champion of the world in his
class, but according to Jim Corbett, who
has seen Flaherty at work, the latter has
at least an even chance, in this twenty
round go, for a decision.
The sale of seats for the coming
event at the Pavilion opened yesterday
morning. The Olympic Club members
took block of 200 tickets and reserved 100
seats more. The Bohemian Club reserved
fifty seats, and forty more were taken up
by the Pacific Union Club. These tickets
do not include private purchases, but have
been secured by the respective clubs as in
stitutions.
The Pavilion has been blocked off into
boxes surrounding the platform where the
contest is to take place, and further away
are the benches. The galleries are also
fixed with bench seats. In all there will
be seating capacity for 1900 people down.

ing from 50 to $5.

Corbett yesterday.

P. D. Linville, the special policeman,

Athletic Club contests, has been placed in
charge of this one. He will have fifty spe-
cial policemen under him. Twelve will be
stationed on and will patrol the roof OF the
Pavilion, while the others will care for the
inside and outside of the building.
Yesterday Corbett went through his
usual exercise punching the bag and spar
ring with George Green, and he also had
some handball practice.
Neither he nor Sharkey diets very much.
Each eats pretty much what his fancy
calls for, and while Sharkey refrains from
drinking intoxicants Corbett does not
hesitate to take glass of beer, ale or
champagne.

tended to extend not only throughout our
United Sta ties, but to all the nations of the
earth in due time, we inclose you herewith
twelve 20-cent waif stamps for immediate use,
by cancellation, writing thereon the name of
your office and running number, commencing
with Nos l, 2, 8 and so on.
AS the United States Postoffice does not yet
permit the affixing of our waif stamps on
postal cards, you can initiate one by four cross
lines, returning to us the Cancelled stamp with
your report of business on the first day OF
every month.
Before the twelve waif stamps are entirely
used up, send to the address below for a new
supply, together with remittance for the orig
inal twelve at the rate OF 10 cents per stamp,
thus leaving you 10 cents for each 20-cent waif
| used.
When rewards are offered and not claimed
by the finder, one-half goes to the local waif-
master and one-half to the waif-offce service
The same from the sale of articles left in wait

In getting out his stamps Gordon made
one fatal mistake. On the margin he
placed the words, ~. S. mall As soon
as the local postal authorities heard of the
scheme they investigated the stamp, and
were not long in discovering that the
waifmaster-general had laid himself liable
70 the United States laws.
Without further ado they arrested Cor
don, seizlng his plant and all the stamps
on hand. The success or failure of the
''waif' system will now probably never be
known, for if Gordon escapes punishme ent
it will probably be under the promise to
''go and sin no more"

BIuffing a Bishop.

Bishop Thorburn, the great Methodist
Episcopalian, on the Sunday evening after
the steamer Caledonia left Bombay on her
last voyage, preached on sin. In showing
that sin was simply the generic term for
many evils, he pointed out that charcoal
and diamond were composed of the same
elements differently com bined and said
that ii you were to place a chunk of char
coal on the deck and leave 1t there till the
ship reached Suez it would be found to
have deprecated 25 per cent, whereas a
diamond similarly treated would be found
as pure, as bright and as valuable as when
first deposited in its position. The pro-
mitigation of this theory had the effect oi
raising an excited controversy on board,
and Mr.. Archer, described as a great
Yankee authority on ''books," offered the
Bishop to place a piece of charcoal on the
deck on condition that his opponent sup
piled the diamond, and he would bet Rs.
5000 that when the boat reached Suez there
would be more charcoal and less diamond
visible. The Bishop shirked the ordeal

Hardeman County, of which the

Hin is Central Railroad nearly
midway between Chicago and New

cities in America. We are in close
proximity by rail with Memphis,
Nashville, Louisville and st. Louis,
all great cities and fine markets.
The eastern portion of this county
is undulating with beautiful small
streams of clear, pure water, bubbling
through the valleys that are as pro-
ductive as any land on earth. These
valley lands are capable under high
state of cultivation of producing so
to IS bushels of corn or one bale of
cotton per acre and all other crops
in the same proportion. The high
rolling or table lands are fine for
fruit, clover, wheat, peas and in fact
all other crops when kept up to a
high state of cultivation.

lays level and the farms are owned
in larger bodies, and Is a splendid

This is undoubtedly fine country

cheap.
