BEN WOOD.
Daring Robbery--Thieves Enter
SIipner's Saloon and Break Open
the Cash Register-Other Items
Of Interest from the Marshall
County Town

Early yesterday morning some I'M
known parties entered the saloon at the
corner of Main and Seventh streets,
kept by John Slipner, and stole SIG in
money from the register. The thieves
were evidently acquainted with the
premises. The register was not open
ed in the saloon, but was taken out in
to the alley in the rear and there
forced. The register contained $40 in
money, check for $3.50 and several
money orders. The thieves were very
considerate, for when the register was
found later in the morning it contained
the check, the money orders and four
dollars. The police were Immediately
notified and are working up the case
on very scant clues.
Mr.. Slipner said yesterday that he
was positive that the robbery was COM
mitted by Benwood parties, as Mr..
Schad, who formerly kept a saloon in
the same place, was robbed several
times. The entrance to the saloon
has been in every case made through
the Seventh street door, and at no
time has the lock been forced, from
which it is evident that the robbers
have key to the premises. The only
item of stock that is missing is
quart bottle of champagne.
Mr.. Slipner is fully determined to
punish the culprits if caught, and will
spare no means to carry out his inten-
tiOnS.

NEW YORK, July Sat last the big
sloop yachts Columbia and Defender
have met in battle royal that has been
satisfactory to all concerned. In a
strong and fairly steady breeze and
smooth water, they sailed over course
of about twenty-six miles to-day and in
covering that distance, the Columbia
fairly and squarely outsailed the De-
fender by three minutes, thirteen Sec
onds actual time.
If Columbia after measurement If
found to allow the Defender two min
utes, she will still have beaten her by
one minute and thirteen seconds. That
means that she can beat her over full
thirty-mile course, by at least two min
utes, corrected time. and that when
she is tuned up, say by the September
races, she will easily beat her i've min
utes, which is all that is required OF
her.
To-day's race was as fine smooth
water test as the yachts may ever eX-
pect to get.
Here are the official figures showing

JOHN NORRIS ARRESTED.
An Ohio Detective Taken TO Pittsbur 6
Roger O'Mara Wants a settlement.

GREENSBURG, Pa, July S.-The
sensation in the case of Green. the
much-wanted bunco man brought here
from Harrisburg this evening was the
arrest OF Detective John P. Norris, of
Springfield, O., at the railroad station
when the Harrisburg train bearing
Green and the detective had arrived.
Norris was arrested on charge OF
false pretense, made by Chief of the
Bureau of Detectives Roger O'Mara, of
Pittsburg. 1t is alleged that Norris
secured from O'Mara one hundred dol
lars some time ago while the Ohio de-
tective was in Pittsburg The money, 1t
is said. was never paid back to O'Mara,
and growing tired of continued prom
ises to settle, he concluded to have the
detective arrested. Norris protested
that he must follow Green to the coun-
ty Jail here. but the arresting officer
would not let him off of the train and
he was taken to Pittsburg.

When O'Brien disappointed the Met
ropolitan Club in his failure to meet
Harry Fischer, of Brooklyn, during
Elks Carnival week, Dick Moore took
his place on "a hours notice, and gave
a splendid account of himself for five
rounds. He was plainly unfit, how
ever, on account of his excessive
weight, and he realized that he could
not go the distance. He made a manly
speech to the crowd, and the best evil
dence of the degree of satisfaction
which he furnished, was the general
approval Of his course. Moore prom
ised to get into shape and to meet
Fischer later, however. Last Monday
night was fixed upon as the date, but
Moore required further time, as he de-
sired to get into first class trim, in
order to meet the Brooklyn boy on
equal terms. The date was therefore
fixed for Monday night of this week.
Meanwhile Moore has been working
hard at his headquarters at Rudlers
place on the National Road, and when
he steps into the ring tomorrow night
the spectators will see a boxer who is
in the pink of form. His course of
training included 10 mile runs daily,
but 1t Will be lighter to-day and to-
morrow. Fischer has also continued at
work, with headquarters at Oscar
Gardner's saloon, and has boxed ten
rounds every afternoon with the
Omaha Kid"
The men started off at a merry clip
at their last meeting, and worked
enough to show that they are splen-
didly matched, and two of the cleverest
big fellows who have ever entered a
ring in or about the city.
Wheeling lovers of the boxing game
do not seem to appreciate the efforts of
Manager Gardner to provide high class
contests at the Fulton club house. and
as tomorrow nights bout will be the
last until September, and promises to
be one of the best ever witnessed here.
there should not be a vacant seat in
the club house Oscar Gardeners
knowledge of boxers and their abilities
and his personal acquaintance with
them, has enabled him to bring some
of the best men in the profession to this
city, and This should be appreciated
In no other city in the country of the
size of Wheeling, are contests pulled
off between such men as Bolen, Kid
Goulette, Hopkins, Bennett, Gardner,
Matthews, Dick Moore, Harry Fischer,
and others who are indisputably entitled
to places in the crack-a-jack ranks.
Gardner has made matches which are
macl1es in fact, the shade of difference
between the men who have met in the
M. A. G. ring, being very slight.
Spectators should all be in their seats
in the club house by $50 o'clock Mon
day night, as the bout will be pulled off
early.
