MULES FOR AFRICA.
Eighty-six Head Shipped Out of
Atchison-Price $1,000.

Atchison, Feb. 2O.-NIilton Custom, a
farmer near Edgerton. well known in
Atchison, left yesterday with eighty-six
head of mules for Florida, to be shipped
to South Africa for the British govern
ment. 1t was a rush order, and Custom
accompanied the animals himself to see
that there was no delay. He makes a
speciality of raising mules and the or
der called for every animal he had on
his place.
For his eighty-six head of mules he
received the magnificent sum of $10,02O.
A great many mules have been pur-
chased among the farmers east of here
by British agents lately, bringing out
the fact that much attention is paid to
breeding this kind of animals over
there. Half dozen shipments of mules
from this vicinity have been made for
transportation to South Africa. Gus
toms shipment is the largest sent by
any one man before, but it is said that
a better average price has been paid for
some mules shipped before.

MeovERN ANp sANTRY
Are to Meet in 25 Round Bout in
Gotham, April 8.

New York, Feb. 2O.-Terry McGovern
and Eddie Santry have been matched to
meet in a twenty-five round fight at the
Broadway Athletic club April s. Articles
were agreed to yesterday between Sam
Harris for McGovern and Sam Pooler of
Chicago, for Santry. The boxers viii fight
at 122 pounds weighing in at o'clock.
The match is something OF a surprise 10
New York sports. Terry whipped Santry
so decisively in five rounds at Chicago not
long ago that everybody believed the
Western featherWeight had given up all
aspirations for the championship title. In
this connection there is a story in circu-
lation that seem to Indicate Santry is a
better man than his first fight with Nc
Govern showed him to be.
Immediately after the Chicago fight
there were reports of some sort of agree
ment whereby Santry was to stay six
lyn Terror got too mad under the impress
sion that he was being 'double-cros.sed
had Santry expected it he would have
fought a more careful battle and not
mixed 1t with Terry as he did all through
again Santry expects to try much differ
ent tactics, and as he is clever and
shifty fighter can give Terry a longer run
for the championship.
Santry's manager denies the stories that
there was any agreement for his man to
stay the limit at Chicago, but he admits
instructed, viz to avoid getting in close
quarters with McGovern He Said:
"Santry and 1 We're the losers before
and we have no kick to make. 1t might
be that Santry was not in perfect condi-
ton, but I do not say that he was not.
I do not think McGovern can beat Eddie
again and all we want is another chance
to prove it. Four or six rounds are not
what we want We have got a. twenty
actly what we are after. II bet 5000
on the proposition that Mc(xOVern does
not stop Santry inside Of six rounds. 1t
is my privilege to think that way and if
I am mistaken it's my loss. There is one
thing wish to state positively, and that
Is the chicago fight was strictly on the
level and McGOVern won on his meritS.''
