fore finger nearly severed from her
hand by an AK in the hands of her
little brother who was fixing a play
horse for her. He thought it was
too long and was in the act of cult
ing it shorter when the child put
out her hand to take it away and the
little boy could not stop the ak from
decending on her hand. The AK
had been accidently left at the wood
pile instead of being put away as it
usually is. DR.. Higgins dressed the
wound and the child is progressing
as favorably as can be expected I'M

Sophia Lindan Fuhrmeister was
born July II, 1921, and died at St.
George, February IL, 1898.
The funeral services we're held in
the St. George Tabernacle Febru-
airy ID, 1898, with Bishop James
Andrus presiding.
Choir sang "Thou dost not weep
to weep alone" after prayer and
singing Prest. d. d. Macarthur said
there is sQlemnlty attending funer-
al services which | always feel.
This sister has been a resident of
this city from its commencement
and her life has been honorable and
upright, and we know she has been
a true Latter-day Saint
When the ST. George Temple
was opened she was counted worthy
and was called to be a worker in
that Holy House, and up to her
death her name was on the roll as
worker, and this is proof of her in
tegrity of the Great Latter day work.
She has passed from this sphere Of
action and gone to meet her loved
ones who have proceeded her to the
spirit world He referred to her
many virtues and the good example
she has set to her family and to
those by whom she has been sur
rounded and advised all saints to so
live that they may be worthy to par
take of eternal life in the kingdom
of Heaven
David H. Cannon, President of
the St. George Temple, said her fell
low laborers IN the House of the
Lord will miss Sister Fuhrmeister
as she was always on hand to attend
every duty required of her as long
as she was able. She has been a
great sufferer and has now gone to
her rest. She has done good con-
tinually and her record on this earth
is complete.
Counselor Erastus B. Snow said
there are many things worse
than death and especially in cases
like the present one, as this sister
has been a CONSTANT wife and
mother and a true Latter-day Saint,
and has filled up the measure of her
days in usefulness and has gone to
her rest.
Elder James G. Bleak felt that
words Of consolation had been given
and rich legacy has been left to
this bereaved family by their pa

A D1sGRAcEFUL FIASCo.
The Corbett-sharkey Fight Ended In the
Ninth Round by Corbett Being Dis
quaiifed-An Bets on

New YORK, Nov. 23.--The Sharkey-
Corbett fight, which was witnessed by
the largest and most representative
gathering of sporting men that ever
congregated to see ring contest, end
ed in a most disgraceful fiasco Tuesday
night at the Lennox Athletic club.
In the second round there was wild
yells from the admirers of SharSey
when he floored Corbett with right
swing ON the head. preceded with a
powerful blow on the body. Sharkey's
rrshes were successful invariably
and Jim's quicllness and leg work
were tested to their utmost in trying
to evade the aggressive sailor pugilist
That Sharkey has improved wonder
fully goes without saying, and on the
\ other hand, that Corbett is not the
I Corbett of New Orleans is beyond ques-
ton. At no time had the Californian
the upper hand of his younger and
more sturdy rival. Sharley is a
fighter, and a clever one at that, and
his work Tuesday night stamps him
beyond all doubt as being second only
to Fitzsimmons.
From the second to the eighth round
| Sharley held decided advantage. In
the ninth. round, which was so pro-
ductive of disappointments and un-
loolled-for incidents. Corbett seemed TO
be stronger than at any time during
the fight. but it was evident that he
was slowly but surely fading under
Sharkey's onslaughts. 1t was two to
one on .Sharlley after the second round,
and had not McNey acted as he did
there is very little doubt that
Sharlzey would have won handily. Some
of the most prominent bankers, brokers,
lawyers, doctors and business men in
this and other cities, Were present dur
ing the MILL and not one of them could
see any reason for interference by Nc
Vey. The general belief is that Nc
Vey acted from some unexplained mo-
tive, and some persons said that he
jumped into the ring to prevent
Corbett going under. When McVey
first put his leg through the ropes
the referee evidently did not or
would not look in that direction, but
continued to pay close attention to the
fighters, who were mixing it up in the
center of the ring. Inspector McLaugh-
lin caught hold of McVey to pull him
out again, but the latter was evidently
more than anxious that Kelly should
see him. In this be was successful,
but not until after half the people in
the house had yelled repeatedly to Kel.
ly to disqualify Corbett.
When the big Californian realized
what had occurred he was furious with
passion and rushed at McVey. Had he
caught the latter there is no telling
what Corbett would have done in hi.
frenzy, but the police We're on hant
and rushed between the men
thus avoiding scene whicl
would have added to the disgracefu
exhibition. Just what effect tn
untimely incident will have on tn
boxing game in this vicinity in the fu
ture can not now well be gauged, bu
that it will injure pugilism in this cit,
is beyond question.
A close estimate placed the attend
ance Tuesday night at 5000, and it wa
learned that the receipts eXceede,
$4,000.
