CIT Is ALL OVER"

The referee bent over Palmer and
counted the seconds slowly and dis
tinctly, and when he uttered the word
ten, Palmer's seconds jumped into the
ring and carried the defeated pugilist
to his corner Meanwhile McGovern's
friends cheered long and loud. Some
of them gained admission to the ring
and presented TO the victor a floral
horseshoe, which was soon made a
wreck as admirers insisted on getting
flowers or leaves from it as souvenirs.
Just as the master of ceremonies an
nounced McGovern the winner, John L.
Sullivan climbed through the ropes and
calling McGovern by name. told him
TO shake hands with Palmer, who was
now regaining his senses. McGovern
shook his victim warmly by the HAND
and them turned and left the ring with
his seconds. He was almost carried to
his dressing room. Meanwhile Palmer
revived sufficiently to walk from the
ring TO his dressing room in the other
corner of the building.
Palmer had no excusexSo make and
said he had nothing to say in reference
TO the bout, only that he was surprised
at the brevity of the mill and claimed
that McGovern held him with one hand
while he punched him with the other.
This was an erroneous impression, be-
cause any holding that was done dur
ing the round was done by Palmer, as
MeGovern's arms were never ar rest
for moment.
There was not mark on any part
OF McGovern's body. When asked
what he thought of the bout he said:
Il don't know what to say. 1t came
on much quicker than I expected. !

a family of five persons must sell or

deer. But many families now do not
own enough deer TO keep them in food

A variety OF causes has combined to
decimate the herds. Fatal diseases have
for some years been particularly preva-
lent. Then the area OF pasturage has
been diminishing because settlers from
the south have been invading Lapland.
The new peasantry are not on the
friendliest terms with the Lapps, and
when deer stray into their Enclosures
they are shot. Beasts of prey are also
responsible for the disappearance of
many deer, and all these causes have
combined TO destroy the property Of
