Yesterday afternoon. at the Driving

a Needle In It's Arm.

Brigham Bugler: Mr.. and Mrs. c. F.
Rohwer are rejoicing over the narrow
escape their babe had from serious re-
suits. Ten days ago they noticed a
pimple on the chubby arm of Fenton,
their year-old babe. "A mosquito bite"
was the conclusion. But the sore spot
was noticed again this week. When
Mrs. Rohwer pressed on the ''pimple''
she saw the skin protrude on the OPP
posite side of the arm. They then
knew that some foreign object was in
the arm. The baby was taken to Og-
den Thursday and DR.. Perkins removed
a needle 1t was black from its long
stay and was over an inch in length.
The doctor says if undiscovered it
might have worked its way to the brain
or lodged in joint with serious re-
suits. Needles buried in the flesh OF
active children pass quickly through
the system.

The Cocking Main.

The cooking main arranged for yes
terday afternoon was not pulled off.
George f. Geiser of Salt Lake was up,
and it was hoped that a coop could be
got together to match his. famous ten,
but none worthy appeared, and the
fight was not had. However, there was
a little sport afforded those present in
the way of a kind of o-as-you-Dlease
main. Several birds of varying fighting
abilities were given chances to show
what they could do. There were one
or two lively encounters, resulting in a
few dead ''dunghills'
In all about ten birds were killed in
the pit. A number of the spectators
claim that the gaffs were longer than
those allowed by sporting rules. But
certain it is that deadly execution was
done by some of the game birds.

Denial That Pennsylvania's Hurdlers

w
Philadelphia, Dec. 25.-The statement
made at Milwaukee by A. c. Kraenz-
lein, the fast hurdler. that the Uni
versity of PENNSYLVANIA crack team
would visit England next summer to
compete in dual games with Cambridge
university is denied by Frank B. Ellis,
chairman of the University of Penn
sylvania track committee. Mr.. Ellis
says:
Either Kraenzlein has been mis-
quoted or his Imagination has run
away with him.; There has been abso-
lutely no correspondence between
Pennsylvania and Cambridge in the
matter. At the annual meeting of the
| inter- collegiate athletic association in
New York the last Saturday in
February, a motion will be made to
open negotiations with Oxford and
Cambridge to have a team COMPOSED
of the first and second men in the in
ter-collegiate championships meet the
pick of the two big English universe
ties. The team which will go to Lon
don, if this scheme is carried through
successfully, will be a representative
one of the American colleges and in
no sense a Pennsylvania team"

FITzsIMMoN's PET.
Described as a, Nice, Dovelike, But
Ferocious Lion.

FerociouS Lion.
Chicago, Dec. 25.-"Bob" Fitzsimmons
has bought Christmas present for
himself. 1t is a nice, dovelike sort of a
ferocious looking lion. He bought it
over on the Lake Front, at a. zoolog
ical show, and paiG $1,000 for it. After
purchasing the lion the champion
tripped over to a hardware store and
procured chain. He had to have that
of course, for a lion is not exactly like
a pug dog, and when you go for a
walk with him you must keep him
within bounds. He also ordered five
quarts of the best brand of rum, so
that the beasts tawney hair might
glisten and shine like a diamond in the
sunlight. A chiropodist was engaged
to look after the lions toe nails and a
barber to keep the yellow coat in good
trim.
Bob" has been signing for a docile
pet ever since the lion he used to own
met with fatal ending in Cleveland,
O.. year ago. through the pranks of a
live electric wire. He came to Chicago
a week ago, and he heard of the pretty
bunch of lions down town and vowed
he must have one.
The animal is a pretty but big cherub,
10 months old.

American Fork, Dec. 25.-The Aneri-

ground last night by fire,
the origin of which is unknown.
1t started shortly after midnight, either
in the ice house or in a room in the
northeast part of the building, and
was under great Roadway before dis
covered. Nothing was saved except a
very small amount of machinery, a
large vat of cream and a number OF
new milk cans going with the other
things. The value of the property
burned amounts to $4,000.
S. B. and Ira Chapman were the
