less, scorching south wind swept the
broad prairies of Western Kansas.
Weary pilgrims, discouraged in vain
efforts to hold barren claims
against lawlessness and murder,
were forced to halt their white
winged prairie schooners; for the
hot sand, like molten lava, was too
much alike for the bony, dropping
horses and the numerous unkempt
children whose brown faces protruded
In the gaps of white canvass. Green

A match has practically been ar
ranged between Joe Cans, the colored
lightweight champion. and Terry Nc
Govern. The only hitch in the pro-
posed match was the weight question,
but it has been finally settled by the
managers of the boxers that Cans is
to weigh in at 1873 pounds at the ring
side. The contest may take place in
Chicago, although the selection of
battle-ground has not been definitely
decided. If pulled off in Chicago the
contest will be of six rounds duration
