FITZ RESTS POORLY.
He is Said to be Grieving Over the
Loss of His Mother-in Law.

Carson, New, Feb. 27.-"Charley''
White and Billy Delaney met yes
terday for the first time at Shaws
Springs. After a lengthy interview.
Corbett announced that White and De-
laney would have absolute charge of his
training, debating his method of fight
ing and the chief advisers in the ring.
They will decide in a day or two just
how the Californian shall fight the Cor
nish man.
White. who has the reputation of be-
ing one of the best judges of boxers, as
well as one of the best of advisers
watched Jim closely through his exer-
cse both in the morning and in the af-
ternOOn-
White trained Fitzsimmons when he
was matched against COrbett two years
ago, and consequently knows something
of his methods.
He was very favorably impressed with
Corbetts condition and work.
Everybody at F'itzSimmOnS' training
quarters is depressed at the news of the
death of Mrs Julian, and the stout little
manager has not yet got his brother-in-
law fully started at his work. It IS ru-
mored that Fitzsinlmons does not rest
well, but lays awake thinking of his be-
reavement., Yet, ne did not wake until
nearly o'clock Fitzsimmons carried
piece of sponge between his lips and
teeth while running yesterday and
thinks his experiment a decided bene-
fit, as the sponge takes the rawness out
of the atmosphere and prevents it az
gravating the cold on his lungs. He did
not believe Corbetts wind was as good
as it was reported to be, and expressed
the opinion that a couple of punches in
the stomach will take the starch out of
him, and if he got Just one smash at his
head he would be satisfied
Fitzsimmons declines to further dis
cuss his recently raised objections to
the rules which are to govern the battle.
He says his objections had been wrong
fully construed as an indication of
cowardice on his part in some respects
and for that reason he is going to stop
talking.

"My mother was subject to sick head
aches and Indigestion for over a wear.
She was unable to stand for any length
of time, and was obliged to stay in q dark
room as she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was SO weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered SO much
that she becsme but the shadow of her
self. One day I happened to read tes-
timonial about Hoods Sarssparilla. It
Sounded So Truthful
i persuaded her 10 try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there was
sn improvement in her condition. She nc
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles of Hoods Sarssparills snd
several boxes of Hoods pills and regsined
her weight. She is now enjoying the best

can eat almost anything she wishes. She

THREE LARGE PUFFALO
They Were Unloaded Yesterday at the
Steck Yards

Yesterday Mr.. Charles Payne returned
from Texas with three full-blood Amer
lean buffalo They are as fine specimens
as were probably ever captured. There
are two bulls and one COW in the herd.
Mr.. Payne secured the animals on the
border of Texas and Mexico. He went
70 Amarillo. Texas, and returned with
the buffaloes. They were unloaded at the
stock yards, where they will be kept dur
ing the winter. One Of them may be
shipped in few days to Hoboken, N. j.
The three cost $500 apiece and they weigh
about 1000 pounds each. There is some
talk of raising a purse to purchase one
OF them, TO be put in an enclosure in the
new parks when they are purchased by
the city. Mr.. Payne says they are of ex-
traordinary size and that he intends to
have Buffalo Bill'' Mathewson and Mr..
]. r. Mead pass judgment on them as
they have in early days killed thousands.
Any one who desires to see the buffalo
just from the plains can do so by going
to the stock yards, where they will be
for some months 10 come.

When the jurors went in with the evil

used the old walk as an argument aud it

ARE OUT OF COAL
COLD SNAP FINDS THE FUEL
FAMINE WORSE.

That There ID Not 500 Pounds of Coal
In That Town aud That People Have
Turned Out to Gather up Loose Boards
and Any Old Thing That Will Burn
Kinzhsher is Ont and Most of the Towns
on the Rock Island South are In the
Snme Condition.
This is the second cold snap Of winter
and the coal famine is worse than it was
reported for the first cold siege by the
Eagle. Pond Creek sent 10 Wichita yes
terday for coal, and when none could be
secured the people wanted to know where
coal of any kind and amount could be
secured. They say they have no more
than 500 pounds in the town and that
people are gathering up loose boards,
and sticks, and in fact anything that
will burn. There seems to be no way TO
get coal, an6 it is feared that there will
be much suffering his winter Il the Sc
we're weather that has set in so early con-
tinues. Pond Creek says that they have
not been able 10 secure more than three
car loads in the last thirty days. This Is
not the regular consumption in warm
weather, much less in the dead cold OF
winter.

Superintendent of Mines Ludlow, a.
Hartshorne, has sent to Chicago for
more men 10 work in the mines, and it is

There are several causes for this coal
shortage. The wholesale dealers are
away behind with their orders and the
mines are behind and short Of men. There
are hardly cars enough to snip what coal
there is on hand. Dealers say that they
could not get cars to do the hauling when
there was coal. 1t is feared that there

placed her on the saddle of Lucero's
horse, young Lucero mounting behind.
and started. After going a short dis
lance Tafoya pulled his pistol and
killed the old woman's dog, remarking
that he had gotten rid of one ''bruha,"
and would get rid OF the other, the old
woman, whereupon he threw a las
so over her. and starting his
horse jerked her OF the horse.
He then instructed Lucero to
attach his lasso TO her feet and

wabblings he happened to head the

He was delight at the ease in which
he ran the machine, and did not notice
where he was headed until he was
about ten feet from the steep bluff,
that hung right over the deep water oi
