Litch6eld Independent; Thursday last
it became known that mild case of va
rioloid or smallpox existed in Litchfeld.
Miss Mamie German who has been at
Minneapolis part OF the month, was
taken down with it ashort time previous
". DR.. Robertson. who was called in.
thought it look like small pox. and Health
Officer Chapman was of the same opinion.
To settle the matter beyond contro-
versy DR. HIM. .Bracken OF the state health
board was sent for, aud he, pronounced
it mild case OF the disease. The patient
had been about town as usual beforesbe-
ing taken down. and tnerei considerable
uneasiness among those who had been
in her company. A strict quarantine
was at ouce ordered for the Dave Cor
man house, where Miss German was
staying, and one or two others who had
been with Miss German just before she
came down have also been quarantined.
We think there is no great likelihood
of any further spread but still it is posi-
bic there may be other cases.
Litchfleld Independent 10TH: No
more smallpox in Litchtield so far
Miss German, the only victim, is we'll
ontoward complementary, though
it will be some time before tho quar-
antine is raised.

RAD IN A R
Wants Corbett to Fight Within Two
Weeks Time.

New York, May 21.-Manager Billy
Brady is feeling most unkindly toward
James J. Corbett. He announced today
that Corbett would have to meet Jeffries
in the ring within two weeks.
If Corbett," Brady said, does not sign
articles to fight the champion in two
weeks he will never get another chance to
make a match with Jeffries. The cham-
pion is ready to meet any heavy weight
in the world, first come first served"
Tom Sharkey, the sailor pugilist, had a
conference with his manager, Tom
O'Rourke. today. and later Jeffries. Shar-
key announced that he would be only too
glad to give Jeffries another battle. But
not in a weeks time said the sailor. I
am not that sort of a ninny. have
authorized O'Rourke to make a match for
me with Jeffries under reasonable, condi-
tons. I am matched to box Kid, Mccoy
on June %. at the Seaside Athletic club,
and after that l will meet either Jeffries
or the winner of the MISUNDERSTANDING
bout. If the match can be made with
Jeffries, well and good. I will be in the
ring and give a good account of myself.
Jeffries may blur some people into the
idea that he can't get on a match, but
they will be undeceived. Jeffries will get
all the fighting he wants"

BIG IeHr
Bob Fitzsimmons Not Able to Meet
Gus Rubin Until June Is.

New York, May 21.-The battle be-
tween Bob Fitzsimmons and Gus Rubin,
which was to have taken place on June
1 in the arena of the Westchester Ath-
letic club at Tuckaho, has been post
poned to Friday, June Is. The change
was made at the request of Fitzsim-
mOns,. who informed the officials of the
club that he would not be prepared to
enter the ring on the date originally
selected owing to an injury to his hand,
which would prevent him from putting
on the gloves for at least two weeks.
A meeting was held between Martin
Julian, who represents the club; Billy
Madden, manage for Rubin, and Percy
Williams, FitZsimmons' backer. After
a brief conference it was decided
to grant Fitzsimmons' request and an
off racing day agreed upon. Although
FitZsimmOns believes his hand will be
all right again in a couple of weeks,
the njured member may keep him cut
of the game longer than anticipated.
The injury, while not a dangerous
one, is painful and prevents the ex-
champion from going through his usual
training routine. The C-ornishman's left
hand has given him considerable trou-
bic for some time, but the present injury
is probably the most serious of any of
the others. The hand was originally
thrown out of gear a few years ago
in a bout with his former Sparring part
ner, Jim DAILY. Ever since the hand has
given him more or less trouble, but never
before did it interfere with his plans as
1t is likely to do now.

MANNING A MILLIONAIRE.
old-Time Fighter Struck It Rich Out
West.

New York. May 21-Billy Manning, re-
tired light weight pugilist and first box
ing Instructor of Jim JenrleS,
is at the Fifth Avenue hotel He wore a
big diamond in his scarf. A bundle OF
non in his waistcoat spoiled the set of
his very correct frock coat.
T am making a tour of the world. said
Manning today, and / am stopping at
this hotel while some tailors are doing
business for me-"
Manning was in town three months ago.
His abode then was the Eureka Hotel, on
the Bowery. He wore at that time a sum
mer serge suit and the wintry winds
found free passage through it.
When the first Mrs. Manning was alive
Becky her husband called her, she
took care of the winnings and savings of
her husband.
She got an idea that "Arroyoseco" land
was good to raise fruit on, and bought
small tracts all around Los Angeles, Cal.
.ssArrOyoseco' is dry river bed, and noth-
ing has been persuaded to grow on 1t.
While Manning was in the straits de-
scribed last winter he got a letter from
California requesting him to go out there
and meet some persons who wished TO Duy
some of the land. A check for expenses
was inclosed- He saw his lawyer hrst and
was advised not to sell. Oil had been
struck around his propert and every foot
of his land was in the oil belt. He FOL
lowed advice, and one of his wells, a 1000
barrel gusher, is giving him $500 a day
profit. Manning became a. millionaire.
There was more luck in store for Man
ming. Years ago he had 'grubStaked'
F. NJ. Mooers, who was a Brooklyn Eagle
reporter 20 years ago4 Mooers never found
gold until a year ago in the L~andsberg
District of California At last, when he
was eating the last of his beans and
rinking the last of the water which he
had packed" many miles, he said: Be
fore I quit I will go up that gulch for one
more try He found a nugget worth
$1,000. and staked out claims which now
includes the Yellow Aster Mine, paying
so. 600 a month.

HE SAYS ONE TO TWO.
Considine Offers to Bet That Rubin
Beats Fitz.

New York, May 21.-John Considine
stated today that he would wag $1,000 to
$1,000 that Rubin would beat F1tzsimmons
in their forthcoming battle. He is sure
that his big protege will beat Bob Fitz-
simmons when they meet in their twenty
fve-round bout at the Westchester Ath-
letic club on June l. Billy Madden claims
that Rubin has improved wonderfully
during the past year.
Al Herford, matchmaker of the Penn
Art Athletic club, of Philadelphia, made
an effort to secure Kid Mccoy and Peter
Maher to meet in a six-round bout at his
club within four or six weeks, but Mccoy
declined to box Maher.
Young Critic, the Australian light
weight, who is at present in Chicago, is
anxious to fight Frank Erne. The Aus
tralian manager, Sam Tuckhorn, is will
ing to bet $1,000 that Critic can beat the
lightweight champion. Critic weighs IA
pounds at present, but says he can easily
reduce to 1913 pounds, the light weight
limit.
Tommy Ryan, who is to meet Kid Nc
Coy in a six round bout on May %, will
have as his chief adviser Jim Jeffries. The
hampio wired Ryan today that he
would surely be on hand to second him
during the fight. Jeffries intends to bet
$1,000 that Ryan gets the decision.

peals in Vain.

court here Judge Simons denied a de-
cree of divorce to Mrs. Blanche Butler,
private secretary to Congressman But
Ter of Pennsylvania, from her husband,
Henry j.. Butler, who suddenly and
mysteriously disappeared from this city
two years ago. He was a brother of
Congressman Butler and a prominent
attorney here, representing about $780,
600 of Pennsylvania investments in Kan
a Both he and his wife were promi-
nent in Fort Scott society, and his dis
appearance is still a mystery to every
one. He was a quiet, retiring man with
a high sense of honor and he had the
entire confidence of his professional and
business associates.
Mrs. Butler alleged abandonment.
She and her sister were the only wit
nesses at the trial, and she testified
that she did not know where he was.
Some interest was aroused by Il state
ment she made on the witness stand to
effect tina she had correspondent with
him after his departure, but she re-
fused to tell the court where he was
when he last wrote. In his last letter,
she says he told her she would never
heal from him again. The court con
tinued the case to give her an oppor-
tunity to send a summons to his last
address. Mrs. Butler has just returned
from Washington.

TOWN ROW.
Concordia Merchants at War Over a
Piano Contest.

Concordia, May 21.-This city has a
bitter fight on between merchants, over
a piano contest. A glib-tongued indi-
vidual came into the town and succeed
ed in getting 10 business men to give
him 1872 each and two others $64 each
for exclusive rights and in return he
put up a $3.50 piano and allowed mem
bers of the different societies to vote in
the contest. The fellow got $685. out of
the town. A number of the other mer-
chants, who were left out of the first
proposition, most of whom refused to
go into it. got UP a second piano contest
and as a result bitter feeling has been
~engendered between the merchants,
who, heretofore dwelt together in peace
and harmony.
