provided themselves with weapons III

He is virtually dictator, so far as leg

is that SO large body of men, supposed

THE BIG FIGHT.
It Will Be Pulled Off in Nevada
Beyond the Least Doubt.
Possibly Maher Will Meet Goddard or
Sharkeyat Same Time.
Corbett and Fitzsin m ms Will Meet in the
Daytims-1he Referee.

San Francisco, Jan. 31--William Ken
yon Wheelock, the partner If Fight Pro-
mOter Dan Stuart, is here fresh from
the scene of his triumph in Nevada.
Wheelock said that he was thoroughly
satisfied with all that had transpired In
Carson, and that Corbett and Fitzsim-
mons would meet in the ring in Nevada
leyond the shadow of doubt. He said
decisively that neither Stuart nor him
self had given the slightest intimation
as to what particular place in Nevada
would be selected for the fight.
''Of course all the towns up that way
are bringing pressure to bear. but
whole lot OF things will need to be con-
sidered in locating the arena. No decis-
ion will be reached on that matter until
MIR. Stuart puts in an appearance. eX'
pect he will be along inside of week
and then the subject of ring site Will be
taken up
Wheelock said that in all probability
there would be one other contest in addi-
ton to the Corbett- Fitzsimmons match.
We will very likely have two-fght
program. he said. Mr.. Stuart is am
ious to get some one to go against Peter
Maher, and if Goddard were in this coun-
try now. he would untE,btedly be given
a chance. We have Thought of Sharkey
and it may be that an effort Will be made
to induce the sailor to meet Maher. We
hear that Sharkey Is not looking for
fight. but as it has been frequently said
that he bars nobody. l can hardly see how
can refuse chance of this kind. Any
how. if he does not think well of it, we
will find some one else" e..

simmons will take place by daylight. Y
concluded NJ. Wheelock. The intention
is to have it between noon and 3 O'Clock
IN the Afternoon. George Siler OF Chicago

Gently in the city looking after lumber
for his factory in New York city In
conversation with the Journal man. Mr.
Kellogg, who is a wealthy manufac-
turer, produced from his travelling case
the first sample since the model of the
Kellogg Handle Bar Head for bicycles
Ii was made just one week before and
is the first shown anywhere except in
Portland where Mr.. Kellogg exhibited
it to representatives of the Pope Manu-
featuring Co. The invention, on which
patent has been obtained, consists of
handles attached to the post by a
block hinge, with long coil spring in
the post with tension screw in the
bottom of the post with which to
strengthen or weaken the spring as the
needs of the riders may demonstrate
The head is made to fit all sizes and
makes of wheels and to meet the needs
of all classes of riders.
The cid style stiff handle bar con-
ducts the one thousand and one deli
cate movements of the wheel to the
hands and arms. while the muscles are
put to constant strain to maintain
the equilibrium of the rider. This in
rention takes up all of that move
ment and disposes of it in the coil
spring in the post leaving the muscles
to provide for only one direct move
nent which al once becomes a natural
movement and therefore ceases to tire
and paralyze the hands and arms of
the rider. One of the largest manu-
factories in the county is investigating
the invention with a view to acquiring
sole ownership of the rights under the
patent in this country and England.
The head will doubtless find favor with
Wheelmen.
