There is every indication that George
Dixon and Martin Flaherty will be
matched to meet in a twenty-round con-
test before one of the clubs in New York
State. A few days ago a sporting man OF
Lowell, Mass, notified Tom O'Rourke that
IL he would match Dixon to meet Fla
herty at 122 pounds he would bet him 81
500 on the outside that Flaherty would
win. O'Rourke being anxious to have
Dixon box Flaherty and fearing that the
sport might possibly change his mind in
regard to the side bet, Immediately wired
him stating that the terms were salts
factory and that he would sign the ar
ticles as soon as he could secure a club
to offer a purse. O'Rourke is confident
that Dixon can beat Flaherty at any
time and he looks upon the 81 500 side bet
as sure money. 1t is more than likely that
O'Rourke will pull the match off in SYRIA
cuse.

in Cleveland. It seems that some weeks

the sun and complained that he felt as
though his brain were going back on him.
1t is supposed that he was sunstruck at
the time. However, he grew better and
went to New York and transacted bust
ness there. On the train coming toward
Buffalo from New York he read in pa
per that woman had poisoned her 4
months-old child and then taken her own
life. He either misread the article or as
sumed something was missing therefrom,
because he made up his mind it was his
wife and his child. He purposely got off
the train at Cleveland and went to the
woods and shot himself four times. lie

again when he was rescued from him
self. His employer, a Mr.. Fitzinger OF
Peoria. went there and told him his wife
was alive and we'll. He refused to believe
Fitzinger. The next day his wiz went,
taking the 4-months-old child. Then
Lumpff wanted to live, but he had not one
chance in a hundred.
