The attempt of the Dobson Horn-

in which Akron's financial affairs have
been managed, is like holding the

PRETTY ROUGH SPORT.
A Cruel Game Played in the Camps Of Cana
dian Lumbermen.

A Cruel Game Played in the Camps of Cana
dian Lumbermen.
So full of peril is The fuinDerman's
life that even his sports and games
must be spiced with danger or they
will pail upon his taste. On the long
winter nights a cruel game called
Jack, where be ye?" is frequently
played.
The middle of the largest room in the
camp is cleared. Two men are secure
ly blindfolded and, having previously
drawn lots for the first whack, they
kneel on the floor. In his right hand
each man holds a stout leather strap
in his left another leather strap, or
rope is held by the end, either close to
the floor or, in some camps, actually
en- it. The latter strap, being kept
taut by the combatants, guarantees a
uniform distance between them. They
are quite near enough to hurt each
other severely, which not infrequently
happens.
Now, the man who has been lucky
enough to draw the first call shouts,
"Jack, where be yea" to which his OPP
ponent must Immediately answer,
Here I be-" Then the first man
strikes at the place where he imagines
his adversary to be with the heavy
leather strap. If he hits his man, he
Is entitled to another blOw-may call
out again, Jack where be ye? and
the other must answer, Here be-"
This is continued till the first man
misses, when he must take his turn
at being struck. y
The others form a ring around the
two combatants, bets are made, and
each faction encourages and applauds
it's chosen man. There are regular
rounds, and the game is usually kept
up until one or the other has had
enough or perhaps till one is carried
off the scene wounded. Hard heads
can stand hard knocks, and volunteers
for the sport are numerous. At the
beginning there is generally no malice.
A hard blow is struck-it is expected
it is the game. But it occasionally
happens that the game develops into
a fierce duel.-PearsOn's.

less than 40 per cent of its share OF the
state school fund.

assembly to enact some law which Will

so framed as to fully protect those who

The Mexican gunboat Oaxaca has arrived
at Mazinalo from the mouth Of Guayamas
river with 600 Yaqui Indian prisoners on
board They were secured in the battle
fought about three weeks ago at Mazooco
Bay. The prisoners will be taken to
Guadalaja lara and there distributed to various
interior cities. They will not be confined
in prisons, but will be kept in surveillance
for a few years until they have become
educated in the habits of the Mexican peo-
pie, when they will be allowed to return
to their tribe and impart their newly ac-
quired knowledge to their fellow tribesmen.
When the Oaxaca left the Yaqui river the
government troops we're making good pro
gress toward subjecting the rebels. Gen.
Torres had divided his command, and the
two armies were to advance into the Naqui
country from two different points. No of
fetal confirmation is obtainable as to the
governments losses in the recent battles,
but it is reported that there were over 400
in killed and wounded. 1t is claimed that
the Yaquis lost 200 killed, about 300
wounded and 600 captured.
