of gray in It, despite that his coun-
tenance was so worn.
l could hardly conceive why Capt.
Sellinger should choose such a man,
for il seemed to me that he must be
harsh and of an i'll temper, which the
captain was not, and had never seemed
to approve of. 1t soon came out that
the port was almost bare of good sea-
men, as some were gone in the new
fleet (of the kings, and others had
shipped in the many vessels bound for
America. so that a choice of mates,
as the case stood, must needs be pass
ing narrow.
We soon made sail. and after time
worked out from the coast and fetched
our bows once more to the west. We
kept sharp lookout for suspicious
craft, but saw no signs of any, and
at last began to think that our bad
luck was over, and that we might now
be speeded by good fortune, having
begun so i'll.

From Col. Fred Funston.

The cable and telegraph long ago
announced the safe arrival OF The
Twentieth Kansas at Manila, but the
first letter 10 reach lola from any of
the boys came to the editor OF the
REGISTER this morning from Col.
Funston. 1t is dated at Manila Dec.
3, and aside from some purely per-
sOnal matters Is as follows:

doubt if the Regiment will be landed
in week, as there is great difficulty
in finding accommodations for the
troops now here. All the old bar
racks, public buildings etc, are now
full, and we may have to camp out as
at San Francisco.
The general impression here is that
before very long the Americans will
mix" with the insurgents and that
there will be lively row on hands.
If so the Twentieth Kansas Will spit
on its hands and lick the fear of the
Great Sacred SunfloweT into these
chocolate colored pirates, and will
send you copy of the Manila papers
telling how we did it !

went. We voted on the wharf at

were three to one Republican. Allen

WELLS BIRDSALL AIMS HIGH.
HOPES TO BECOME CHAMPION
WELTERWEIGHT
Wisconsin Papers and Sports De-
clare Him a Future World
beater in His Glass.

Wells Birdsall, the young welter-
weight boxer of the Sacramento Ath-
letic Club. is now in Wisconsin and is
using the skill he acquired in Sacra-
mento quite profitably.
In a letter to a friend here he men
tions several glove fights he has had
since leaving Sacramento, all of which
he won He is at present employed
in the City of Two Rivers, Wis, but
takes on any one that comes along
looking for a fight in his class The
papers there say he is the coming
worlds champion, and he admits that
he has aspirations in that direction.
The Manitowoc Herald publishes
the following account of BirdsaM's lat
est fight in Two Rivers:
Charles Higgins, the pride of She
boygan's sporting element, was knock
ed out in a ten-round sparring con-
test by Wells Birdsall, Two Rivers
man. The event was pulled off at
Voshardt's Opera-house Saturday ev-
ening under the auspices of the Arion
Athletic Club of Two Rivers. The af-
fair was attended by a large crowd of
sports, among the spectators being
number of people from Sheboygan and
Manitowoc. This was the first public
exhibition of the kind ever attempted
at Two Rivers, and the result was sat
isfactory, both financially and other
wise
THE Herald's' Two Rivers CORE
spondent says of the event: Higgins,
who has been in training for some time,
was in good condition. He has partici-
pated in several recent events and his
hackers had a great deal of confidence
in his ability to put up a good fight.
Birdsall is Two Rivers man with a
local reputation as a scientific scrap-
per, and his friends were not in the
least disappointed in him. The two
men were very evenly matched in
weight.
AS they faced each other in the
ring Higgins tipped the scales at 145
pounds and his opponent at 143 pounds.
The fight was refereed by John T. Her
zog OF Manitowoc, and his accurate
and prompt decisions were heartily
commended by ALL
The first round was not marked
by any special features. but IT CON
vlnced Higgins that he had a warm
task ahead of him. After the first few
rounds it was quite evident to the spec
'ators that Birdsall was Furnishing his
man TO finish and at the close of the
sixth round Higgins was, practically
out. However, he recovered sufficient
~ 70 enter the ring when the seventh
round was called, and was able to fin
lsn the ten rounds. BirdsaH was de-
ciared an easy victor. His future in
the prize ring is promising.'o
Birdsall has another fight on hand
for the both of this month, when he is
to meet the champion of Wisconsin Ha
writes that he will have no trouble in
disposing of his man.

"a woman's Story" Denied.

in this case.
She approached a man for food a
week ago to-day Not being able to
assist her he brought her to me, and
she told along story of want and prl-
walton. She said her husband took her
to her fathers home in the mountains
last Christmas, where she gave birth
to a. child She came back unexpected
| ly and found her husband living With
another woman, who was wearing her
clothing. She was penniless and sat
| in Capitol Park all night with her babe
| in her arms. The next day she placed
| her child in the Children's Home. She
said she did not have any food for two
days
l took this woman, gave her room,
food, medicine and care till Saturday
night. About $50 she left the house,
and as I did not expect to see her again
/ rented her room to a man. AT /
O'Clock she came to my room with
man, and was apparently under the in
fiuence of drink She tore up her hat
and became so violent that l tried to
restrain her, but used as little force
as possible to take from her knife

every statement she makes. In this,

The woman's name is Jeffers. She
said her husband worked for a local
butcher. J. L. Buck was the gentle
man she first came to, and he brought
her to me. She named several good
citizens who she said had insulted her
when she applied for aid, just as she
complained to the police about me.
