John Wesley Hardin. whose death al The hands

within the memory of newspaper readers, af
fords a striking type of the border bad man both
in the story of his life and in the manner of his
death. He was the son Of a BAPTIST preacher

be an unruly. Shiftless and skulking member of
the community before he was fifteen years old.
He was born in 1891, the town of Conan

From here on the travel became

took place Id Connection with the sec
ond annual run of the Motor Car Club
to Sheen House, where there II q pri-
vate cement track, and was won by
myself. Besides winning this race, /
established a motor cycle record for
one mile, doing the distance in min
utes and seconds.
The second race took place in No
venlber, 1898, and In this | finished
second to Mr.. s. F. Edge, who had
brought over new French racing ma
chine for the occasion.
In 1898 the great French race-Paris
to Amsterdam and back-was won by
M. Charron. OF course, number OF
smaller races were run in various
parts of France during the season with
great success.
At the beginning of last year the
Motor Car Club of England set itself
to deal with the question of motor
racing and promoted during the year
a large number of races in England
with a marvellous amount of success.
These races were practically connned
to motor tricycles, and the sport was
of sufficiently exciting character 10
appeal to the public taste in marked
manner. Some most exciting races
took Mace: for instance, one in the
earlier part of the year, when Mr.. c. q.
Wridgway rode match against hlsal'
of France, at the Crystal Palace, Lon
don, and beat him. Another exciting
race was between MIR. Wridgway and
myself, when defeated him In one OF
the most exciting races on record py
a machines length in five miles In
the then record time of minutes and
% seconds.
The race between Mr.. S. F. Edge and
myself for the championship was also
of a. very exciting character, and the
enormous crowd of people present was
worked up to a very high pitch or en-
thusiasm. This race | also won, Dut
only with a few inches to spare, IN the
new record time of minutes and IL
seconds. The races held in Liverpool,
when Mr.. S. F. Edge and myself went
down to meet team of French racing
cracks and met with signal success,
were also very exciting.
| am quite sure that the public in
America will take very kindly to con-
tests of this description, as they are
very much more exciting than ordln-
airy cycle racing, as very much nigh
err rate of speed is attained. The sight
of four or FIVE men travelling at Az
miles an hour around very highly
banked track provides as much excite
ment as the ordinary man requires.
Personally l have experienced and
can imagine no keener sport than au-
tomobile racing.

Late in October, shortly after war was
declared by the British against the
Beers, fourteen British soldiers, mem
bers of the First Prince of Wales Fu-
silliers, stationed at Fort Esquimault,
on Puget Sound, British Columbia, de-
termined to escape in order to avoid
being sent to the front in the Trans
vaal. All had been members of the
Sixth Lancers, Major Mcdonald, of
Northumberland, which command
served under General Kitchener, Sidar
OF Egypt, in the famous expedition up
the Nile. 1t was not because the men
were towards that they wished to shirk
active service against the Beers, but
because they had all lived in South
Africa and were perfectly familiar with
the unfairness of England's claims, and
their manhood revolted against ser
vice in what they considered an UNI
righteous cause. They determined that
it was better to desert and chance cap
ture, in which case they would be shot.
The escape was well planned The
night was very dark. All the men
were on the same guard detail. The
guard had not been posted ten min
utes when the men met by appoint
ment They had their arms. ammuni-
ton and one days rations. The march
was taken up through the deep snow
to Fort Carroll, where the horses be-
longing to the one troop of cavalry
stationed at the fort were stabbed. The
stable guards were surprised. Each
man secured horse. The animals re-
naming were driven off ahead Of the
little band of deserters for the first
fifty miles, then the deserters pushed
on without them. After reaching Vic4
toria ten of the men were captured,
sent back under guard TO their com
mand in the Transyaal and placed on
the hottest part of the firing line, as
is the usual custom. Those who got
clear away we're Corporal Frazier,
Privates Smith and Dunwoody and
Sergeant Davidson. who arrived in this
city late Friday night.
Davidson's story OF his adventures is
a thrilling one. He had served seven
years in India under Kitchener, going
all through the expedition up the Nile
campaign. He was wounded twice in
the battle before Khartomb. Later he
contracted coast fever, and in company
with a number of members OF his COM
mand, broken by the Egyptian cam
paign, was transferred to the First
Prince of Wales Fusilliers, stationed
at Fort Esquemault. B. c., to reeuper-
ate.
About the middle of October orders
we're received at the fort for all MEM
bers of the Sixth Lancers to hold them
selves in readiness to join their COM
mands. The men said nothing at the
time, but 1t was then that desertion
was determined on.
After leaving the fort the deserters
pushed their way through the deep
snow down the coast to Point Groseap.
AT that point they took passage on the
steamboat Islander" The boat was
crowded with miners returning from
the Klondike. The captain at first re-
fused to take them aboard, but upon
being told by Sergeant Davidson, who
was the ranking officer, that they were
after deserters and were going to Vic
toria whether or not he consented to
carry them.

EDDIE GARDNER WINS
OVER BILLY BARRETT
One Of the Most Important Victor
les In His Ring Career.
Won In the Arena of the Greenwood
Athletic Club Last Nfght-Barrett
All But Out in the Eighth-Put Out
in the Fourteenth.

NEW YORK, March 24.-Eddie
Gardner, of Wheeling, knocked out
Billy Barrett. of New York, in the
Greenwood Athletic Club in Brooklyn
tonight in the fourteenth round with
smash on the point of the jaw. The
fighting was fast and vicious through
out. Barrett showed extreme clever
ness in the first seven rounds, but he
was no match for the rugged brother
of Oscar Gardner.
Gardner f1oored Barrett twice with
rights on stomach and jaw in the
eighth round and the bell saved Bar
rett.
Barrett was tired in the next round,
but Gardner stayed away from him
and contented himself by swinging for
the jaw and stomach. The tenth round
found Barrett fighting hard and CIV
ing blow for blow, and he did well for
the next three rounds.
Oscar sent his brother in to finish his
man in the fourteenth and Gardner
sailed in, putting right and left to the
jaw and stomach with terrific force.
Barrett went down, striking the floor
with a thud. He tried hard to get up
but the referee had counted him out.

Last weeks schedule of the Wheel
ing tournament caused few changes
in the standing of teams. First, the
Rough Riders took one from the All
Alikes, which put the latter into sec

ers by winning one from the Oceolas,
tied the kissing Bugs for seventh, the
latter losing three to the X. X. X. boys.
The Apollos, by winning one from the
Emigrants, leave the undivided honor
of holding last place to the Kenmores.

actly the same position as last Sunday.
