ton, or probably the result would have
been different, as he had Root down
for the count three times. in the. second
round Root rallied quickly and came
up in pretty good shape for sthR next
round OBrien tried hard to finish his
young opponent, but in his eagerneSS to
gain a knockout he left himself open,
and was sent down for the count just
as the round ended. This seemed to
weaken the New Highlander, and he was
rather shaky in the fourth. He never
faItered. however, but kept boring in
for the body and had Root clinching
to escape punishment near the end of
the round. O'Brien overbalanced from
a wild swing and Root knocked him
through the ropes He got back before
time was up, and had shade the best
of a fierce mixup as the round ended.
In the fifth and sixth rounds Root got
his left hand working, and smothered
O'Brien with jabs. O'Brien never let
up, however, but kept on the aggressive,
and appeared to be willing to take any
thing Root could send to get a chance
for a knockout. Toward the end of the
round Root went down from a hard
swing. He jumped up quickly, however,
and had the better of the remainder of
the fight O'Brien's poor condition be-
gan to tell in the last round, and he
showed up perceptibly weak. Root
landed almost at will with the left, while
most of Brien's blows were wild. O'Brien
got a glimpse of dreamland just as the
contest ended from q hard right to the
jaw.
O'Brien was far from being a whipped
man as his opponent was in nearly as
bad shape. Both men were bleeding
from half a dozen different places as
Referee George Siler announced Root
the winner The betting was to 1 that
Root would get the decision, and even
money that Root would win with a
knockout. sThe men met at catch
weights. O'Brien had the best of the
weights, but Root the advantage in
height and reach. Tommy Ryan. who

oUAKERs AFTER FOX.
Philadelphia Offers Holy Gross Player
$4,000 For His Services.

Boston, July 1.-THE Philadelphias
are hot foot after "Bill' Fox, of Holy
Cross college, to play third base for
them for the remainder of the season. He
was today offered $4,000 if he would join
the team at once and play for the re-
mainder of the season. Fox has the
matter under advisement, and may de-
eide to accept it. He has an aversion to
entering the ranks of the league, as he
does not intend to make baseball a bus
mess, but the offer is such a tempting
one that he may decide to accept, as his
friends are strongly urging him to do
So
The Philadelphia club has been after
him for several weeks Indirectly. The
day that Holy Cross played Harvard
at Cambridge, Umpire Smith, of Phila-
delphia, who officiated at the game, was
authorized by John l. Rogers to sign
Fox. The offer was not tempting enough
and Fox could not be induced to go, but
the proposition has been renewed, with
the figure placed at $4,000 for the rest of
the season, which is certainly very lib
eral. Fox is one of the fastest infield-
erS in the country, and there are none
who can field ball any prettier or fas-
ter than he from third across to first
and at the same time hold a man who
might be on second or third.

REGARDLESS OF CREW

Salina, July 1.-THE exodus of the har-
vest hands has begun. The big rush is
now over and many of the men who came
to Central Kansas to help save the
wheat are going back to the cities. They
were mostly broke when they came
here, but now they are jingling coin in
their pockets and many of them have
rolls of bills slowed away in their inside
pockets
An eastbound freight train on the Union
Pacific last night took out a big crowd of
harvest hands. The number is variously
estimated at from $50 to go. When the
train pulled out about o'clock there were
men in every empty car, men on top and
men in the cabOOSe. 1t was jolly, good
natured crowd. The men had money
which they had worked hard for, and
many of them were glad of the 'vaca-
ton"
The crowd was too big for the train
crew to handle, and the only thing that
could be done was to let them ride. The
brakemen went around. and collected what
money they could from the .oums- They
generally got so cents and let it go at
that. One brakeman is said to have col
lected $40.
Many Of the imported hands are still
in the country and will remain here for
several months. Farmers are still stack
ing their grain, and then will come the
threshing. Many of the men who came
west to work in the harvest fields will
go with the threshing machines next. 1t
viii keep hundreds of men busy for some
time to thresh all the wheat.

Cattle Survive in Dry Well Without

Hamilton did not, however, made the ex-
pertinent for the purpose of proving that
a bovine might live under such circum-

Mr.. Hamilton was driving 125 head of
cattle from one pasture to another two
weeks ago last Saturday. When he had
them transferred he found that two two
year-old steers were missing. A search
was instituted but it proved unsuccess-
full.
For thirteen days Mr.. Hamilton search

passing along old unused roadway his
horse SHE'D and shifted the air as if some
thing unusual was approaching.
Remembering that an old well was in
the neighborhood, Mr.. Hamilton at once
went to it Here he found his two steers
that he had given up stolen. To his
surprise they were both alive.
The hole was about six feet deep and
muddy at the bottom. The steers were

board of the Orient road.
The evening was spent in discussing
the various routes that have been sug-
gested. A free right-of- way through
the town must be given by Emporia,
together with thirty acres of ground
for the round house and shops, and $780,
