GILLETT FOUND AND LOST.
Missing Cattle King Had Been Visiting at
Ranch Near Durango.

Kansas City, Dec. PA dispatch
from Chihuahua, Mex, says Gillett, the
absconding cattle king, has spent the
last ten days at the camp of ]. NJ. Fish
er. formerly a Kansas friend Of Gill
lett's. 1t is said that Gillett has been
spending money lavishly in Durango
and neighboring points and that Troxell
has been with him most of the time.
The Fisher ranch is over the mountains
sixty miles from Durango, and when
Gillett went there Troxell remained be-
hind. c. A. Schafer of Kansas City has
succeeded in tying up several thousands
of dollars deposited by Gillett in Du-
range, and has also gained possession
of the fugitive's trunks left at that
place.
These proceedings gave the alarm and
both Gillett and TroXell are again lost
sight OF. 1t is believed they have gone
to Mazatlan on the Pacific coast, where
they can secure passage to South Amer
lea. They may have gone to the City
of Mexico and thence to Vera Cruz,
where they could get on shipboard.

view to the establishment there Of

The navy department is now con-
WINGED that it will not be practicable

one time looking to the reduction of the

attic station, and has settled down to
the conviction that the feet must rather
be considerably reinforced if the at
tempt is to be made to maintain law
and order in the 1,2C0 Philippine islands
and still afford proper protection to the
important Interests of the United States
along the great Asiat.c coast line. The
combined naval forces of Great Britain
and the United States in these waters
will largely exceed those of any other
two nations in that quarter of the
world. The necessity for maintaining
a strong force in the east has brought
the navy face to face with very seri-
Gus condition. Under the law passed
to meet the needs of the war the terms
OF enlistment of about $500 sailors will
expire within three and half months,
and the department is forbidden to re-
enlist them.
For Lack of Crews.
The immediate result will be that
nearly half the ships in commission will
have to be retired from active service

WAS A SURPRISE.
Princeton Failed to Win
from West Point.

West Point, Nov. 5.-The Princeton
foot ball team and the West Point Ca
diets eleven played an intensely excit-
ing game today before 10000 spectators,
the score at the end standing to S. 1t
was kicking game from start to finish,
Remeyn having the better of it, Neither
side in the first half was able to gain
ground consistently, each side having
strong defense. A long run around
the end tby Rsardsley put the bah on
West Points five-yard line. Three
fierce PUSHES carried 1t across two min
utes before the half closed. Geer failed
to kick goal.
The second half opened with the
fiercest kind of play, Princeton having
the advantage in the rushing, and West
Point in the kicking. The soldiers kept
the ball in Princeton's territory.
Hutchinson tried to punt, but Hum
phrey made fine catch on Princeton's
34-yard line, from which Remeyn
kicked a beautiful goal, tieing the
score. Pandemonium broke loose, and
the play resounded with West Point
| cheers. Princeton, withs II minutes
to play, began a fierce attack, which
was checked by little defense.
Throughout the game the cadets were
in better condition than their oppo-
nents. Princeton played injured men
after they had ceased to be useful.

Wilbur Of Yale Talks Of His
Work in Weight Events.

One feature of the game between the
Yale freshmen and the Academy,
played at the oval, yesterday, was the
playing of Wilbur, the big right guard
of the Yale team. 1t was Wilbur's first
game this year and the SECOND time
that he has had ON a foot ball suit.
and the manner in which he handled,
Davis the Academys big guard, shows
that he is\a foot ball player Of the
finest order. While every person on
the grounds that understood foot ball
admired his playing, few, If any,
realized that Wilbur is one Of the most
famous athletes in this country. wills
bur, whose home is in California has
never been defeated in a putting the
shot contest, and has met all of the
best men at this game in the west.
Besides being the western champion at
putting the shot, he has few, If any,
superiors at throwing the hammer and
holds the American record for throwing
the hammer with enc hand,
Wilbur, after retiring from the game
in the second half, told Spy man some
of the work that he has done in the
west When asked what event he eX-
pected to make a speciality Of in the
college, he said: LAS | am q special
student at Yale, l, of course, can not
take part in the college events, but
shall devote most of my time to COACH
ing the candidates for the track team.
Just now l have under my charge at
Yale the men who are trying for the
shot, hammer and short distance runs.
This work will keep me quite busy un-
til permanent trainer is secured for
the track team. / shall take part in
all the open events that are held
around New Haven, as I am anxious
to meet the best men at my events IN
this part of the country. | am anxious
to settle in my mind as to the best
manner Of throwing the hammer. do
not use the double turn in throwing the
hammer, as l find that I can do better
work with the single turn. AS most OF
the eastern men use the double +urn,
meeting between us will settle the
question as to the better way,
But Wilbur's fame as an athlete Is
by no means confined to his work In the
fseven-foot circle. No man in the far
west is better known among foot ball
players than this man Wilbur While
he has played but twice at Yale, he is
an old hand at the game. He played
a guard while in Leland Stanford Uni
yersity and later captained the RSso-
lutes, q famous Californian eleven that
defeated ButteIworth's aggregation or
old college men, a year or SO ago
In the course of the conversation,
Wilbur said he had played foot ball
on all of the fine fields in the west
but considered the Worcester oval cha
finest field he had ever SEEM ssaa
