USE SPURIOUS BILLS.
Two Leavenworth Soldiers Jailed For
Passing Bogus Money.

Leavenworth, Kan, March w. L.
Schraage and ]. L. Womack, members
of company D, First infantry, were yes
terday arrested by Deputy United
States Marshal Prescott, and locked up
on a charge of passing fraudulent
money. In default of $1,000 bail each.
they were locked up in the county Jail
to await their preliminary examination
on March 9.
The men are accused of passing con-
federate money, making their victims
believe that it was lawful money, re
ceived from Uncle Sam. So far as
known the Confederate money had only
been passed at two places, J. J. Hes
sett's, sol North Seventh street, and at
John Linborg's on East Delaware
street. The scheme worked by the men
was to enter a place, make a small
purchase and tender a IS Confederate
bill in payment. If the bill was ac-
cepted the men obtained what they
called for and their change in good
money.
At Haslett's, on North Seventh street
the men purchased 10 cents worth of
tobacco and received $3.50 in change.
At the other place they bought two
glasses of beer and received a like
amount in good money. The officers
learned that the men also tried to pass
the money on John Waller, Adam
Ehart, Jake Galend and Mike McCune
in the city and at the post canteen at
the fort

There is a Doubtful Look to the
Big Fight.
Champion Jeffries is Said to Be
Out of Shape.
MAY NOT MEET JIM.
Frank Erne Starts in Training
For Joe Cans.
Match on March 23rd Should Be
a Lively One.

New York, March THE latest piece
of fighting gossip is that Jeffries may not
be able to train sufficiently to meet Cor
bett at Coney Island on May II. He has
been at Hot Springs, Ark, for his health
for some time, and reports from there are
that he is looking far from well.
This bit of information has had ten
dency to boom Corbett's stock. Naturally
the champion is still a strong favorite,
but his admirers are becoming just a
little lukewarm in their offers to give
odds. For several weeks stories have
come from Manager Brady and others
that Jeffries was about to leave for San
Francisco, West Baden or New York, but
despite them he remains at Hot Springs,
and is not likely to leave there until the
first week in April, when ne VIII pc
forced to return to Allenhurst to be in
In Broadway resorts men are wonder
ing why Jeffries went to Hot Springs. AS
champion of the world Jeffries is great

stead he foregoes the fortune. Some sug-

Frank Erne, the champion light weight.
arrived in this city from Buffalo today.
He will start in training tomorrow for
his match with Joe Cans, which is
scheduled to take place at the Broadway
Athletic club March %. Erne will do his
work at Sheepshead bay. He has been
doing light work in the gymnasium at
buffalo and looks to be in nice fettle.
When asked if the weight stipulations of
the match suited him Erne said: The
match is perfectly satisfactory to me. 1
wanted to get a chance at him in the
ring. and now that we are signed there
is nothing to do but prepare myself in
a physical way for it expect to enter
the ring Weighing about 1872 pounds. and
while Cans might be a little heavier /
think 1 will be heavy enough to win out.
Before leaving Buffalo 1 jumped on the
scales and weighed exactly 135 pounds. l
feel feel strong and fully Ia, able to go through
regards the outcome of the match all
I can say is that I expect to win out. 1
like to box these clever fellows"
Most of the wise ones expect to see
Cans defeat Erne.
