taking his life.

RED ROCK CLINICS TO NAME.
Story of How Town Came by 1t and Its Sturdy Resolve Not to
 Change 1t.

~Up in Columbia county" said man
 who spent the summer up the Hudson,
 to New York Sun reporter, "is Red
 Rock, a small hamlet, 26 miles from
 Albany and near East Chatham and
 Creechy Lake. Now, Red Rock isn't
 much of a place, but there is something Interesting about it that l fancy all the world doesn't know. The pres ent name is not the one it has always borne, and what it's other name was l don't know. Whatever it was the people did not like it, and concluded they would change it. There was no particular reason why they should call 1t Red Rock, but that was determlned | upon. and so Red Rock it became. | Then in the course of time strangers of an inquiring turn of mind began to ask why the place had such name, and as no reason could be given, new corners to the neighborhood began to want a name that meant something. | This insistence grew so strong that the old residents began to look around for l a reason for the name of their place, and at last they found huge powder near by which they said was what had suggested the name. But the powder was gray instead of red and the pro- gressionists insisted that that would not do. At last, the old-timers hit upon a new plan, and procuring bar rel of red paint, they painted the big rock red. Red Rock, indeed, it was now, and not only was all opposition to the name overcome, but the painting of the rock every spring has become an annual festival, and the people cele
 brate it with big picnic and genera
 celebration. It was new idea to me
 and if there is any other town any
 where on earth that is christened every spring with red paint or any other color I don't know where if. is"

JOHN l.. SULLIVAN'S CHANGES.
His Grit May Pull Him Through His
 Present Physical Oilment.

John l.. Sullivan, who was operated on ill the polyclinic hospital, Thirty fourth street, near Third avenue. on Thursday, for strangulated hernia, was resting comfortably last night.
 The operation was performed by Dr Bodine. the hospital surgeon, with his assistants. He said last night that Sullivan would not be able to leave the hospital for six weeks. He believed the operation would be successful.
 One thing that is telling sadly against the famous fighter is his utter lack of condition. His admirers and the public generally have followed his career since he left the ring with great interest, and at no time has it been shown that Sullivan was taking any kind of care of himself
 His life has been q fast one, faster than is usual even with retired fight CTS, because of his great popularity, and also because his physique ma turaly was such that he could stand q vast amount of dissipation without showing or feeling any i'll effects. Rarely has nature blessed a man with such a magnificent constitution, | and rarely has blind man so abused | the gift as has John l.. Sullivan. Not a minute in the day but some admirer | would invite him to take q drink. and l not night that some toady did not ask him to take q cab and ''See the | town" in the hope that some few rays from the shining star of pugilisn might be reelected in the host, anxious l to throw away his money that hC l might be named. even for night along with the mighty Sullivan.
 His ailment had been neglected by | the big fellow as being something tri vial and not worth noticing-as ht looks on all things that do not please him. But on Monday the grave fac, of his doctor for once took the heart ot the former champion and he meekly consented to d hospital and an opera | ton
 The surgeon took extraordinary car, | in the operation, which at best is delicate and dangerous one. Before it was undertaken they told Sullivan he was taking chances, and he only re marked he had been taking them al his life. Fortunately he has lost nom of his native Sullivan grit, and tha may pull him through again, as l often has done before.

Both go into clineh as the bell rlnSS In the thirteenth there was mo FffecV tive work done and the only feature was Daily taking n, set on the floor from the force of right swing which O'Brien blocked with his glove. In the fourteenth there was a lot of fid- ding, and the only good blow struck was "a left by Daily to the wind. In the fifteenth Daily danced around the ring and finally takes a left to the chin and right to the wind. O'Brien's head is again sent back as the bell rings with two lefts to the face. In the sixteenth O'Brien again tried hard to place his blows but Daily eyaded them. Daily landed three rights to the wind, the last one sending O'Brien to the floor as the bell rang. In the sev- enteenth Daily received some hard lefts on his sore eye which was fast clos ing. He staggers O'Brien with right to the wind and O'Brien slips to the floor and is helped up by Daily. In the eighteenth O'BriE went after that sore eye and he hammered it unmerci- fully. He also pounded Daly in the wind until that fighter looked a tritie weary. In the nineteenth O'Brien went after Daily again and the sore eye caught all the lefts that were sent that way, while his body was a rosy red from the right punches. At the close of the round Daily was very tired and was willing to sit down. The twentieth saw both men lighting nip and tuck. It was give and take from both clear to the tap of the bell and neither could find the point for the knockout. The decision was n draw, which was good one.

THE ARIZONA TEWKSBURYS.
Engineered the Most Desperate Herd Feud in the Southwest-"Buck-
 ey" O'NeilPs Part in 1t.

, "The most desperate feud ever known in the southwest grew out of an at
 tempt to graze sheep in Pleasant Val
 ley, in upper Tonto Basin. Ariz., says Capt. J. H. McCnntock in Ainslee's
 The noted Tewksbury brothers under. took the engineering of the operation. They succeeded. But when the sheep side of the controversy had forged to the front 32 men were dead. The casu
 alties were not incurred in pitched en- agreements. The fighting continued during a year or longer in the late eighties. It was done in Kentucky ven
 detta style. Most of the men who went over the divide were ambushed on mountain trails and shot in the back. A Tewksbury household was besieged by dozen members of the Graham fac tion, the opposing party. When an old man, Al Rose, went out in the early morning for a pail of water, he was shot and killed within 50 feet of the doorstep. And there the corpse lay unburied for three days in the full glare of the summer sun. The men
 in the. Rouse, stolid in their suffering from thirst, appealed for permission to bury their dead. It was denied then
 This is only a fair sample of the many atrocities that marked the progress of the feud. The Pleasant Valley war ended only when all the surviving com batants, together with most of their neighbors, were gathered up and taken to Prescott<by a squadron of Yavapai county officers, headed by Sheriff Will
 liam O'Neill, the same Buckley O'Neill who was killed before San Juan Hill leading his troop of rough riders. A soothing influence was also exerted by Sheriff Commodore Owens, of Apache county, who caught four of the sheep | faction in q house at Holbrook. The | four men broke from the house by four different routes, through doors and windows, hoping to pot the sheriff by divided fire. All alone he calmly started to pump his Winchester rifle, apparently needless of the rain oi lead. When he had finished, the four were dead, and the cool little sheriff had not a scratch. At the last only 3 single male of the Graham blood re
 mained alive. He gave up the fight | and fled to the Salt River Valley, where I he married and settled down to quiet
 farm life. While marketing his first I crop of grain he was shot from ambush on the road to Tempe. The deed was
 done by two unmasked horsemen, iden
 tifled by two young women as Ed I Tewksbury and his right-hand man
 John Rhodes. The latter was rathei

HARDVARD'S POOR FORM.

Cambridge, Oct 27.-Harvard's Var sity fall handicap track games held yesterday afternoon were a mediocre performance. No new talents were discovered and the old showed little improvement. Only one scratch man won his event, and the time of all events was poor, and the participants mostly freshmen and sophomores. The weather was partly to blame, being warm and cloudy. The pole vault and broad jump were postponed on ac- count of darkness. The summary:
 1OO-yard dash-Won by k. W. Rob- bins, 'O2, yards; second, w. c. Clerk, '01, scratch; third, Inglis, '03, 4 yards. Time 10 2-5 seconds.

ON THE GRIDIRoN.
There Will Be Some Hot Contests To Day Among the Colleges.

Day Among the Colleges.
 New York, Oct 2T.-YaIe's much talked of Varsity eleven will make its first and only appearance of the sea son in this city at Columbia field this afternoon. While nobody expects the Columbia team to win, football en- thusiasts hope that Sanford's men will be able to make things interesting enough to prevent a waikoVef for the Blues. The coming of Yale's kickers means Q big crowd of undergraduates and alumni of the New Haven univer- sity who always provide plenty of enthusiasm. New Workers will have pretty fair line on the chances of Yale against Princeton, as the Yale coaches have promised to put all of their stars into to-day's game. All the football reports have been sent out from New Haven that the Yale team is made up of the strongest lot of players that have worn the Blue in years. The statement has also been circulated that because Columbia beat Yale last year, the local eleven is to be buried under 10 to score. YaleS ability to accomplish this feat is creat- | ing considerable interest. The elevens will line up at 2:3O o'clock.
 The other game of unusual import ance will be played to-day. Princeton visits Providence to play the strong Brown university eleven, and it would not be at all surprising if the Tigers were vanquished. Harvard will also have hard tussle with the tieetfooted Carlisle Indians at Cambridge, while | the Chicago university team will line up against the University of Pennsyl- vania at Franklin field. As Harvard and Pennsylvania meet next Saturday their performances to-day will be
 watched with special interest.

CHECKER PLAYERS DRAW.

Boston, Oct 27.-Two more games were played in the championship checker tournament yesterday, and to the extreme disgust of the experts who have been in attendance at every sitting, both resulted in draws. Twen- ty-two games have been played so far and twenty of these have been draws, so that now the experts are remark ing that Barker and Jordan appear to be afraid of each other because of their eagerness to follow book plays that will lead to draws. Baker open ed the afternoon game with Ills, the standard, and the reply drawn by white was 23-19. After thre moves the game turned into the Glasgow. Book play followed until a draw was agreed to. The, opening and reply for the evening game were, the same as in the afternoon and soon turned into q Glasgow, and a draw resulted.

the International Hotel on Thurs
day evening, purchasing. the inter
csts of Capt. F. M. Lucas, J. w.
Gray and Chas. w. Markle, the
former of whom held half inter

1t is the intention of, Mr.. Beeler
to move the hotel from its present
site to the lots next north of his
present place of business, combin-
ing the two.
This change will give Bonners
Ferry two very creditable hotels,
the Hotel Casey and the Interna-
tional whereas there are now three
hotels in Bonners Ferry, too many
for the present trade, and tire
change should be beneficial to the
hotel interests of the town.
The HERALD entertains the kind
est feelings for the recent manage
ment of the International and re-
grets exceedingly to see the gentle
men retire from business, but is
pleased to note that they are sue
ceeded by such an enterprising
citizen as Mr.. Beeler.
