SANKEY'S LOVE AFFAIR.
The PusiIist's Affections Wasted on
Chicago Widow.

The PusiIist's Affections Wasted on
Chicago Widow.
Mr. Thomas Sharkey, the late lamented
pUgilist, has been captured in the pos
session of the merchandise, His out and
out declaration that he did not enjoy
the much to be relished acquaintance of
Mrs. Lillian Bauer has been weighed in
the balance and found wanting.
Not alone does Mr.. Sharkey know the
handsome widow, but he has followed
her to several points on the restless COM
pass, and, in addition to sending her
many kilograms by which two telegraph
companies have profited he also wrote
her amorous letters, which she suffered
in attempting to translate.
He inflicted these communications on
her more times than it would be dis
Greet to try to tell, and thought he was
so well acquainted with her he once had
the audacity to inquire if she had a de-
sire to be the parsonage who dispenses
the CONCEALED aqua.
Mrs Bauer was visibly angry when
reporter for the New York Sunday Tele-
graph saw her in her spacious nat at zzo
/ West Forty-third street. She Waxed
wrathy at the insinuation that she ever
thought of wedding the man whom Gus

at wish you would say for me-" said
Mrs Bauer, that I never intended to
marry a pugihst. The. idea is preposter-
GUS. I have known him for five years,
and not alone have 1 never entertained
such a thought, but I have constantly
referred to him as the man with the dog
face.
He says he doesn't know me, does.
! he? Well Just look at these.
Here Mrs Bauer produced several tel
egrams and letters which proved con-
cIusively that Mr.. Sharkey had a ourn-
! ing desire to forever remain In the pres
! ence of the pretty widow. The kilograms
!-came from various places in the country
i and were all sent to the Cadillac hotel,
in this city, where Mrs. Bauer was then
! stopping One of them asked her to meet
! him in Buffalo, another requested her TO
| come to Detroit, a third craved her pres
| ence in Philadelphia-and she isn't to pe
i blamed for not going there-and fourth
said he would most certainly lose a fight
| in which he was about to engage If Mrs.
Bauer didn't give him her encourage
| u:ent.
F-k-4-E-S-C-E-D.
Once in New York, at time when she
was in Chicage-last February, according
To the date line on the letter-he begged
her to come to New York, and in his
billet doux told her the streets OF
the town were covered with ice and
snelled "freezed" f-r-i-e-s-c-e-d.
1t was not this that caused Mrs
| Bauer to become cold toward the fgnter,
for she declares she never had anything
TO do with him, but she drew the line
few lines further down in the letter
! when he asked her how she'd like to be
ice man,
even if such were possible," ex-
| claimed Mrs Bauer, IT wouldn't permit
! him to talk to me in that way. On an
other occasion he called me up on the
| long distance telephone, and l thought
| so much of him 1 wouldn't even quit
| reading a paper to go downstairs anu
| answer the call
at was he who sent out the report that
he was engaged to be married to me and
then said he didn't know me. He said
he would do something to get even, and
| this is what he has done He wanted to
get even because I wouldn't tell him
where l lived. He saw me the other day
and said:
81 hear you've got a f1at?
Suppose I have? I replied
ooh, nothing he said; I guess I can
come and call on you
AND ALSO D-E-T-I-O-R-Y-T
'Well, I told him guessed he couldn't,
and that is why he got back at me. Do
! you think I'd marry a man who spells
freezed f-r-i-e-s-c-e-d, and refers to De-
troit as Detioryt'? Never"
Mrs. Bauer, who is an exceedingly
pretty woman of q years, met Sharkey
when he was guest at her husband S
| hotel in Chicago. She admits she has
known him ever since, but declares she
was never friendly toward him.
And another thing Mrs. Bauer con-
cluded, che tells people he lost $500 on
the fight. He never had that much
money-only in his mind-and if he lost 1T
! all he lost his mind. 1 don't care to say
! anything harsh about this man, mind,
! only 1 hate to have him refer to
me as a dear creature and then say he
doesn't know me. It's unfortunate that I
am acquainted with him, but I'm sorry
of it. I don't care to know any man
who says nit for no., and spells
'freezed,' 'friesced'"
All of which tends conclusively to
show that Mr.. Sharkey is acquainted
with the widow and that he is the least
bit miffed because she has raiIroaded his
Intentions.
