SHARKEY GAINS.
Betting Odds on Prize Fight
Closing Up.
Will Be Near Even Money Be-
fore Friday Night.

New York, Nov. 2.-Jim Jeffries and
Tom S1arkey say they are all ready for
tomorrow nights prize fight for the
worlds heavyweight championship. Ev
erybody who knows anything about
training and who has seen Sharkey,
knows that the sailor is fit and trained
to the hour Jeffries and his trainer
and manager say that Jeffries is in con-
dition, but a great many sporting men
who have seen Jeffries question his
judgment and the judgment of his
trainer and manager on condition. JET
fries may be in condition, but his con-
dition is not so good as that Of the
man he will meet.
The training of both men has been
completed. Nothing remains for their
trainers to do but to send them into the
ring and coach and attend them there
until one or the other has been knock
ed out, or the battle has gone the full
limit of 25 rounds.
Today is a day Of rest. A day in
which the muscles and sinewS and
nerves of these gladiatOrs of the mod
ern arena will be Toasted for the rough
work which they must do tomorrow.
All around the town the battle Of dol
lars, in which the men will back their
opinions with their money are engaged
is being waged vigorously. Here the
Jeffries forces are the mightiest. The
champion continues to rule favorite at
| 10 to and many bets have been made
at these odds In the DeleVan hotel last
night Tom O'Rourlke, the manager and
trainer of Sharkey, made one of tho
biggest bets yet recorded on the fight.
He wagered 81, 400 to $4,000, Martin
| Bowling taking the Jeffries end of the
7 bet. O'ROurke is confident that his man
will win and has more money to wager
at the same odds. Many smaller bets
were made at 10 to z, although in some
instances the hackers of Jeffries got
to 5 for their money. The Indications
are that the odds against Sharkey will
shorten rather than lengthen. Already
the impression that Sharkey has an
even chance or better, of winning the
battle is gaining ground. A little more
ground gaining and it will be even
money and take your pick.

FORCED TO MURDER.
Revolving Story of the McFar-
land Crime Told at Alma.

Alma, Nov. 2-The defense in the
murder trial Of the negroes. Render and
Williams, had its inning here Wednes-
day.
Dick Williams. one of the defendants,
went on the stand and told the story
of the horrible crime committed at NC
Farland on the 2Sth day of June He
testified that "Souse" Hawkins and
Bill Collins. the Topeka negroes, had at
the point of a revolver forced him to
participate in the murder of the two
boys. Mrs. Tandy, the mother of Harry
L. Tandy, one Of the murdered boys,
has attended every session of the trial
She is a little sad-faced woman and
when Williams recited how her boy was
brutally beaten to death while begging
to see his mother once more, the little
womans form was shaken with sobs-
Williams left the stand at noon and
his pardner, John Render or Denver
Kid, began his evidence
He repeatedly cOntradicted himself
and made his story a tangled mass Of
denials. He claimed to be asleep on
an ice shute when the crime was COM
mitted.

and the state offered little rebuttal.
Judge Thomson then charged the jury.
His instructions were very full and
occupied a half hour in the delivery.

Work Of Cleaning Away
Debris in Clinton.

Clinton, March 20.--Supt. John W.
Ogden was a busy man today. He
armed his force with axes and ropes and
turned his men into woodmen. There
was any number of trees to be cleared
from beside the tracks. A limb was
broken in the top Of a tall tree between
Worcester and Shrewsbury. The limb
hung over the track and threatened to
drop at any moment
Men tied rope to it. The rope was
an inch IN diameter. The end of the
rope was attached to a trolley car and
the car backed away, with the purpose
of pulling the branch off from the
shred of wood by which it hung to the
tree. The car tugged, the rope
stretched taut as an iron bar Then it
snapped with twang like the break
ing of giant bowstring. A man
dared the icy ascent to the butt of the
limb with a pair of creepers and sep
arated the limb from its position.
The telephone company will have
some work to do on the two lines that

the poles or bent down by trees falling

superintendent of roads Loren B.
Walker has a gang of men at work
taking away broken branches. The
large elm near the town hall parted
with one of its most important men,
bers last night. Men were cutting it
away this afternoon. Trees all over
town, have suffered.
Farmers who come into town bring
reports that the Ice storm has probably
damaged apple and other fruit trees to
an untold extent. The crop will proba-
bly, be greatly lessened by reason of
damage to trees about to bud.
