Corhett and Fitzsimmons.
New York, Sept. 23.-Billy Brady re-
turned to town today after an extended
tour through the West. When he reached
his office ne found articles of agreement
from the Tulane Athletic Club, OF New
Orleans, awaiting him. This club has
offered purse OF $4,000 for a contest
between Fitzsimmons and Corbett, to
take place within three months. Brady
eigned the arr cles and SCENE ed quite
pleased over the prosp ect OF another
match.
II think, before another month passes
by said Brady, "Fitz Will consent TO
fight The public sentiment demands that
the men shall meet again. Corbett VIII
not have another word to say if Fitz-
simmons defeats him again. on the other
hand, he viii retire from the ring for
good. If Fitzsimmons signs to fight Cor
bett he can make $4,000, win or lose.
If he wins he viii receive the entire
purse of $25, 5000. AS to Peter jackson,
will say that Corbett will not meet
him. Corbett wants TO fight Fitzsimmons
only, and if Bob is not afraid he viii Ia ke
him on again"

of all the taxes in Kiowa county, sup
porting a school district located 35
miles away from it. 1t had no terni-
nal in Denver. It's land in Pueblo, 13
or IA acres, had always been taxed by
Pueblo county. The earnings of the
road in Missouri and eastern Kansas
kept up the road.
Attorney General Carr said there was
one school district in KiOwa with only
one man in it. He was the treasurer of
the district. The president and secre-
tary, and man and wife, lived in an
other district. They had a sheep ranch
in the first district, and in the summer
they sent their son up there to teach
school at $50 a month and sent two
younger children to attend the school,
and the road paid the taxes.
Mr.. Highlyman went him one better.
He said there was a school district in
Kiowa county in which the road paid
$1,000 taxes. The only family in the
district lived in a dugout and had one
child They kept the school in the dug
