regiment had been sent to the town to
do garrison duty. The natives appeared
friendly, but one night 1000 of them

JEFFRIEs TO MEET RUHLIN.
Championship Battle to Be Arranged
Within a Few Days.

New York. July IA match between
Jim Jeffries and Gus Rubin for the
championship of the world will be ar
ranged in a few days. Both fighters
and their managers have signified their
willingness to clinch it, and will sign
articles of agreement the early part of
next week. At present both men are
on the road, and as their enga gementS
end next Saturday night, there is no
doubt that they will get right down
to business on their return to this city
and lose no time in affixing their sig
natures to the articles.
AS soon as Billy Brady. manager of
Jenries, learned in Paris-where he is
at present-that Rubin had defeated
Sharkey, he cabled to Charley Mccall,
his representative in this city, stating
that he must clinch match as quick
ly as possible with Rubin, as he was
confident that Jeffries could beat Rub
lin, and thereby would get the chance
to make several thousand dollars
Mccall is ready now to clinch the
match after receiving Brady's commu-
nication
If all arrangements for the fight are
satisfactorily completed, and there is
no doubt they will be the contest will
be one of the biggest betting affairs
that has occurred since the great bat
tie between Fitzsimmons and Jim Cor
bett a few years ago.
Ruhlin's great showing with Sharkey
recently has gained him a host of ad-
mirers, and, as this delegation will con-
stitute the prominent bettors on fight
ers, there is every indication that the
Akron man will be heavily backed when
he enters the ring.

BACK TERRY TO BEAT ERNIE.
Brooklyn Boys Admirers Think He
Win Best the Light Weight.

New York, July Interest in the bat
tie between Frank Erne and Terry Nc
Govern increases at a surprising rate
as the date of the fight-July Lap
proaches. Sporting men about town are
freely discussing the outcome and opin-
ions seem to be about equally divided.
Terrys admirers think he is invincible
and will back him against Erne or any
one else to the limit. The light weight
champion has a betting contingent be-
hind him, too, which promises to mako
things lively from now on when the
money-laden McGovern men make their
presence known.
Although the conditions of the fight in
one way favor McGoVern, and in the
other way place him at a disadvantage,
his followers cannot see how he can lose
and accordingly are not a bit backward
in claiming that he will give Erne his
quietus. just as he has done to such
prominent fighters as Dixon. Gardner,
Forbes, White, Callahan. Rotchfort and
others. They intend to bet their money
on him to beat Erne.

VERY TAME AFFAIR.
Santry Given Decision Over Gardiner
at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo. July Tn conven-
ton hall, where the Democratic hosts
have assembled for four days past, there
was a marked change of scene last
night. The thousands of handsomely
gowned women had disappeared. On
the platform, where but a few hours
previously statesmen of national promi-
hence had faced cheering thousands the
tables and chairs had given way to a
squared ring, in which Oscar Gardiner
and Eddie Santry, of Chicago, appeared
for a 20 round go. About 5000 admirers
of the manly art gathered to witness the
contest Of the featherweights.
The so-called fight was a more or less
genteel contest which terminated in
decision by George Siler in favor of
Santry at the end Of the stipulated 20
rounds. Both men came out of the fight
as fresh as they entered it, and aside
from a swing by Sautry on Gardeners
sore left eye, which opened the old
wound, and another swing on Gardeners
right eye, which started the blood lit
tie, there was nothing in the fight ap-
preached hard jolting. Santry was al
ways the aggressor, but most of his blows
were blocked.

A BRUTAL HUSBAND
Gets Drunk and Beats His Wife in
Horrible Manner.

Fort Scott, July 6.-The most pitiable
sight seen for a long time here was Mrs
Hattie Emrick, a young woman who
was brought to town to cause the arrest
Of her husband, Note Emrick, of near
Garland. Her body from her face to her
feet was so badly bruised that the doc
tors who examined her condition, found
her flesh livid and swollen beyond any
semblance Of her normal features.
Mrs. Einrick said her husband went
home drunk last night. She was in bed
and, according to her story, he pounced
upon her without any provOcation and
began beating her. She is not a strong
woman, having a nursing child and had
no strength with which to cope with
him. He beat her with his fists, bit her
and dubbed her, she says. and she could
do nothing to stop him.
With a view of using them as wit
nesses County Attorney Sheppard and
DR.. Roberts and DR.. Carver examined
her. They found teeth marks, club and
fist bruises all over her body. Her face
was as black as a Negroes and swollen
until it was round and her eyes were al.
most closed.
