WANTED THE $40
A Holton Lad Weighing 200
Offered to Take a Hand.
The Aggregation from Topeka
Has an Experience.
THEIR BLUFF CALLED.
The Holton Men Evidently Not
Used to Expert" Boxing.
Other Sporting News Of General
Interest.

Topeka boxers and wrestlers gave an
entertainment at Holton Saturday night
which seems to have palled upon the
classic Greek appetite of the Holtonites,
judging from criticism printed in the
Holton Signal entitled: "Holton Won't
Be Bluffed."
The Signal states that the entertain
ment was given by "Gilmore of New
York, Woods of Texas, Cooley of ST.
Louis, and Bradshaw and Watts of To-
peka, all of them champions"
1t seems TINT the HOlten people, who
thought the men were going to fight
with axes and base ball bats (as witness
"Champion Cooley'') grew restless when
they did nothing but punch each other
in the face with padded gloves.
Right here one of the Topeka men
made the fatal error of daring any one
on the stage to put on the gloves with
one of them. Offering $40 an induce
ment. The Holton corn huskers called
him." There was such scrambling for
that $40 that some of Holton's Demo-
Gratis living in the next block came run
ming down, thinking fresh keg was be-
ing tapped.
Finally buxom country swa in named
Bert McAnerney stepped forward in his
cow hide boots and revolvers in his hip
pockets and Offered to take hand" But
there was no hand for him to take.
The champions sized him up and de-
clared that he was too big, which made
our boys feel so good that they nearly
broke up the meeting in Il row.
The HOlton people have not yet
learned that it would be folly for a 100
pound man 70 fight with 200 FOUNDER.
They aren't educated up to that point
yet. They don't think anything of a
little matter of fifty or sixty pounds diff
ference in weight when they are match
ing people to box.

Arbitration May Be a Very
Good Thing,
But the Startling Discovery Has
Been Made
That England Is Putting a
Chain Of Forts
ALONG THE GUYANA
In the Disputed Venezuelan
Territory.
''In Time of Peace Prepare for
War"

CARACAS. Jan. 23-Michael McTurk,
the head magistrate of the British
Guiana, who has been identified for
years with the usurpation of Venezuela
territory has been relieved of his magis-
terial duties in order that he may COM
mand expedition charged with forti-
flying the entire length of the Cuyani
river lying in the disputed territory.
This news has caused great stir here.
Ell Liberal, in leading editorial, calls
the attention of the government to the
military preparations on the Guiana
frontier, which, although London denies
it, are actively going forward
On the British island of Trinidad, the
forts are being repaired and the militia
is being drilled in the method of hand
ling the new heavy guns.
The Venezuelan government is asked
to fortify Amacuo, Cangrejes and
Cuyani OF the frontier in order to
be ready for if arbitra-
ton fails. The moral strength of
increasing the military strength
would be to unite the country, it is
argued. and command the respect of
President Crespo's bitterest enemies.
The English plan is believed to be to
fortify the disputed territory while the
American commission is Investigating,
and if its report adverse to Britain, to
be prepared to hold it forcibly.

MEMPHIS Tenn, Jan. 23-An almost
steady rain has been falling in the lower
Mississippi valley for over IA week and as
result the creeks and rivers have been
converted into inland seas
Reports from various points state that
farms and plantations have been inun-
dated, fences destroyed, and bridges
swept away. The damage to property
will reach a considerable sum.
The railroads are also great sufferers,
and the delay to traffic on some of them
is serious. The Iron Mountain. which
runs through a swamp in eastern Arkan-
sas, is under water in several places.
The water promises to go still higher, as
it is still raining

ments reported of Gen. Maxine Gomez
were that yesterday he was at the plansa-
ton of Morales and today passed the
road near Chimaraso, province of Hav-
ana, going southwark. He does not
appear to have camped last night,
but divided his forces and sent
them on the march In several
directions. The Spanish troops are
closely pursuing the insurgents. In fact
Gomez's position is looked upon here as
being rather critical 1t is now said that
General Panic will return to the prov
inco of Santiago de Cuba instead of TAX
ing command of the Spanish forces in
the province of Pinar del Rio, as he
hoped to do.
Gen. Panic, was accorded a great re-
ception at the palace today it being tue
saint day of the king.
The local military and civil authori-
ties were present and the officers of the
German school ships Stein and Storch
were among those in attendance.
