With regard to surgical treatment,
these small bore bullet wounds may be
said to be flesh wounds. The wound
made by either the Mark III or the

SHARkEY WINS.
Mccoy Put to Sleep In the Tenth
 Round. I


 Round.
 New York, Jan. 11.-Tom Sharkey. the American sailor, now stands the only heavyweight possibility for cham pionship honors against the title held by Bob Fitzsimmons.
 He whipped Kid" Mccoy good and hard in the tenth round of what was to have been a 20 round battle for heavy weight honors at the Lenox Athletic club last night. and by doing so forged his way so positively to the front rank that Fitzsimmons, with whom he fought in the west some time ago and obtained the favorable decision of Referee Wyatt Earp. must now consider the sailor pu- gilist's claim to championship honors without any delay.
 Sharkey last night was a revelation to those who saw him a couple of years ago. His ring work and generalship are so vastly superior to his exhibitions when he first came to the east as a fighter that the improvement is almost incredible.
 Mccoy Is also worthy of unstinted praise. When he sent Sharkey twice to the floor in the third round last night. no one doubted the Kids ability to hit hard, and many thought that he had Sharkey at his mercy.
 This idea was soon dispelied when the Irishman began to get to his man. and, taking everything into consideration, Sharkey's work stamps him as the toughest proposition that any aspiring heavyweight pugilist can try to solve.
 In addition to his wonderful strength and quickness Sharkey had one great advantage. and that was the services and advice given him by Tom O'Rourke, his manager and chief second, who, quick to see and take advantage of ev- cry opportunity. aided the winner at ev- cry point during the contest.

.REPENTING AT LEISURE
Rumored Trouble Tn the Pull
 man Family.
MRS. GEORGE MAY SEEK DIVORCE.
Bride of Five Months Going Home to Her Parents, While Her Husband Is In the south-sequeI te a Ro- mantle Marriage.

Chicago. Jan. 1l.-Mrs. George M. Pullman, who has been a bride less than Ave months, is due here to visit for an indefinite period her parents. MT. and Mrs. J. w. Fernald of 4434 Greenwood avenue. It is generally un- derstood that she will seek a divorce from her husband without any unnec- essary delay.
 MT. Pullman is said to be recuperat- ing in a southern health resort. He is one of the twin sons of the sleeping car millionaire, and his wife Is reported to have made over a 99 year lease on their country home at Freehold. N. l.. where their honeymoon was spent.
 Waggins tongues have not yet post ed society gossips on all the details that led up to the separation, but a quarrel of a week ago is the rumored cause of the sudden breaking off of marital relations. The practically dis- Inherited son of the palace car king left home in hurry, and 1t Is admitted that he was in Chicago for a few hours on Saturday on his way south. He appear ed to be suffering from both indigestion and insomnia.
 FernsId Against Pullman.
 One story Is to the effect that Pull man called on his father-in-law and endeavored to have him use his good offices in effecting a reconciliation, but Mir. Fernald Is said to have given him no encouragement.
 Mir. Fernald admits having been call- ed upon by Mir. Pullman on Saturday and says he was looking badly. He also admits that his daughter is to be here in a day or two. but says he knows nothing of her arrangement from her husband.
 The flying rumors recall the romantic marriage of George Pullman and Lynah Fernald. She was first engaged to Wal ter Sanger Pullman, Georges twin brother, but her father prevented the marriage at the last moment. Then Miss Lynah went east and married George without consulting her parents on Aug. IF in New York city un- der romantic circumstances. Her hus- band wanted to take a trip to Europe but she suggested that they go to housekeeping at once and rented a pret- ty country house at Freehold.
 Mir. Fernald had never attempted to conceal the fact that he does not like the Pullman boys. although he was a great friend of their father.

THE ROADSIDE EOLlAN.

When winds stream over the rugged knoll The highway lies along, The wires stringing from pole to pole Give tongue to a voice of song. A-glint with beams of the morning sun They carry blitheful air, Running burden that seems to run, 'Gosd news is the word we bear"
 This joyous one, "Good news we bear" They swing and sway at the breeze's will. While the heavens smile above To hear the measure they gayly thrill, ''We're speeding line of love-"
 With scale and trill, "A line of love.' A cloud and shadow go sailing by. To the breezes' falling breath In sinking cadence the wires sigh, , "Respect for tale of deathl' '-s
 More softly still, "A tale of deathp' Oh, the songs are many the wires sing When the rowing wind Is sent To play of gladness or suffering On it's mighty instrument.
