manager Of Bob Fitzsimmons, will spare
no pains in the endeavor to bring the ex-
champion and jim Jeffries together again

test
This promise was made in the presence

o. orbetts statement that he is willing to
take on Fitzsimmons If a match with
Jeffries cannot be arranged win not be
noticed by the Australians manager. Ju
Ian was interviewed at his hotel, and he
expressed himself as follows:
You can say for me that have every
confidence in Fitzsimmons' ability to re-
gain the championship if Brady keeps his
word and gives Bob return match. It
IS the universal opinion of American
spcrtsmen that Fitz deserves another
trial. He is entitled to 1t on the strength
of his past performances, and is the only
legitimate opponent for Jeffries among the
heavyweights. When the latter bested

chance.
I'm the presence of Mr. Alexander
Brown. manager of the Coney Island
Sporting club. and George Cooke, treas

his word of honor that Jeffries would
meet Fitzsimmons again if successful over
sharkey two months after that contest
had taken place. Here is an affidavit
signed by Brown and Cooke to that eff

Julian then produced the document in
question, which is dated Nov 8. and reads
as follows:
This is TO certify that William A Brady
did agree in my presence to match JEFF

of Jeffries winning from Sharkey It
was also understood that the Fitzsim-

Jefries and Sharzey contest
(Signed) Alexander Brown

'Now," continued Julian, ''it is all I'D
to Brady. I have deposited the necessary
forfeit money to clinch a match with JEFF

for Brady to do the same, and name a
date for the contest"
Julian then exhibited a receipt for 81

forth that the money IN question was

Hamilton at all times was more forcibIe

Gardner was the cleaner cut in deIfv-

was palpable that he was suffering from
the old complaint of weak hands. Both
wrists went back on him from the very
beginning, and at the finish they were
very weak.

According to the Buffalo Courier,
Rochester, n. Y, boasts OF the most
unique trust yet organized. \ snake
farm will be established II the SUI
burbs OF the city for the breeding Of
rattlesnakeS for the market. At
present it is impossible to supply the
demand for rattlesnakc oil, skins and
live snakes. During the past six
months many cases of goitre have
been cured by the use OF live rattle.
snakes, which are wrapped around
the nccks Of patients. 4 goitre sani-
tariura will be conducted by the
trust In connection with the snake
farm. At the head OF the trust is
Pete Gruber, better known IA Rat.
tlcsnakc Pete a man who is an au-
thOrity on snakes and who has cap
tured hundreds OF rattlers in the
snake dens OF the Pennsylvania hills,
i'll Wyoming and in Florida. Gruber
says that the rattlesnake possesses
more curative qualities than people
i'll general have any idea. Rattle
snake oil IL also a specific for rheu-
matism, deafness and lameness. The
skin ls largely used for felOns and
carbuuclcs, and is said to be the most
powerful poultice obtainable. 4
rattler sheds his skin three times a
year. Gruber has been unable TO
meet the demand for oil, skin and
live snakes for use by goitre patients
and will depart for Florida in a few
days to secure a supply Of rattlers
and to arrange for future shipments.
Snakes are bought by the foot, piece
or pound. The only bargain he eyer
got was at a circus auction, when he
secured fifteen pounds Of assorted
snakes for $3.50. R~attlesnakes bring
from 30 cents to five dollars each.
The longest one he oyer captured
measured Il trifIe over seven feet, and
made music with a string Of twenty
r~attles. The most vicious rattlers
come from the Florida swamps,
where they grow to a length OF eight
or nine feet.
