i'm THE NOME
DISTRICT
Marvellous Stories Of Wealth
Told BY the Cape
Postmaster
.HE Is WORTH MILLIONS
Yea, Ten Of Millions, Not
Counting the Gold
Back Of the
Beach

INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 2.-Gerge
Wright, postmaster st Cape Neme,
Alaska, has just arrived here. He
tells marvellous stories of the wealth OF
the Nome district in the extreme
northern part of Alaska.
SIT is the greatest placer mining
district in the gold field" says Mr..
Wright. PAY extends for 80 miles
along the beach. Two thousand men
in six weeks took out 50, ,OOO,O In
gold, half of which came
from the creek and half
from the beach. Conservative
miners estimate the value of my six
claims at s35, 100000 on the beach
proper, not counting gold that may be
found on parts OF claims back from
the bench. My claims aggregate
800 acres.''
Wright organized a compIny last
week in New York with 5000. 900
capital to work his claims, fr which
he is to receive IS, 100000 cash as a
starter. He stopped at Washington
and was assured that 300 soldiers
would be Immediately sent to Nome
in addition TO those already taere.

How He Knocked Maher
Out In the Fifth
Round
A CORKSCRBW PUNCH
Landed Like a Bolt Of Light
ming On Peter And He
Went To Grass Quick
AS a Wink

| NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Kid Mccoy
the hoosier pugilist who defeated
Msher so decisively at Conev Island
yesterday, in telling how he did it this
morning, said the trick was turned by
new punch. He used it in the first
| second and fifth rounds and each time
he dropped his man. 1t landed just
right in the fifth and Peter was out OF
it. Mccoy calls the punch "the corks-
crew blow" and describes it'thus:
"The corkscrew blow is something l
worked out myself. I feins around un-
til my fist is within five or six inches of
the mark I want to hit. Wherever
that punch lands fair, It crunches. l
practice it with both hands. One big
advantage of this punch is that you
can land it while getting away from a
drive. You don't have to throw the
weight of your body into it. so you can
hand it out to man like an electric
shock at the end of a long wire"
The battle was hard fought from
start to finish, but Mccoy was fer the
cleverer man in ring tactics, dode
ing, side-stspping and hitting powers.
He showed himself to be q good gen
eral.
The fight was brisk and well
fought battle of five rounds. It was
scheduled for twenty five rounds and q
purse of $40 900, but as the attendance
was not large, the principals agreed
that the winner should receive the
gross gate receipts Sl5, 900.
,Maher, although credited with be-
ing heavy hitter, did not get in many
effective blows. His foot work was
poor, and he did not appear to have
perfect control of himself. He was
knocked down in the first round and in
the fifth smart blow from Mccoy in
the Jaw knocked him out.
Referring to the fight Mccoy said:
"The battle ended just as 1 predicted.
| said that 1 would defeat Maher in less
than six rounds, and the result proves
that 1 was not very far off the mark.
Maher fought hard battle and showed
up well in the first few rounds, but
when 1 started to fight, be was not in
1t. Meher never phased me during the
bout. He landed several good blows
when l was attempting to draw him out.
but they did no damaee. Not once in
the contest was 1 In any danger"

WAS SANDBAGGED
J. M. Dlggs, Of This City. The Vic
tim-Robber Secured Only S27
And Overlooked d Valuable
Watch.

| J. M. Diggs. q young travelling man
for the McIver-Patterson Vehicle
Co. of this city, was sandbagged and
robbed near the Texas & Pacific depot
this morning.
He had been stopping at the Grand
Central hotel, and left there this morn
ing to go to the T. &P. depot. intending
to take that train for San Antonio. 1t
was yet dark, and when in front of
Judge Balcker's place on San Antonio
street, Mr.. Diggs noticed 8 man com
ing towards him whose features, at a
casual glance, he could not distinguish.
The only detail of his attire that he re-
members is that the man wore a Fedo-
ra hat.
just as the stranger passed him, all
suddenly became confused. and Diggs
remem bered nothing more until he
recovered consciousness and was
picked up by.a passer-by. He had evil
densly been hit in the back of the head
with sand bag, and so hard and fierce
was the blow that he not only lost
Consciousness in q second, but the con-
tact of his head with the ground pro-
duced severe cuts In the forehead.
The robber secured S37 in money. A
valuable watch worth S135 was over
looked, or possibly his assailant feared
to take it lest it should lead to his de-
lection. All the letters and papers in
Diggs' pockets'were rified and scatter
ed over the street.
The police were notified at once, and
are making the necessary efforts to
apprehend the ssnd-bsgger.
Mr.. Diggs Is young mau Of twenty

THE COMPANY WINS
Judge Parker Decides That
Impounding the Water
Will Not Diminish
Navigabi|ity
Special Dispatch to the HERALD.

Special Dispatch to the HERALD.
LAS CRUCES, N. M. Jan. 2.-The de
cision and findings of Judge Frank w
Parker, of the third judicial district
court, in the famous dam case of the
United States of America Va. the RiC
Grande Dam & Irrigation company Ell
AL, being the suit brought by the gov
ernment to enjoin the defendants from
constructing their dam and reservoirs
az Elephant Butte in Sierra County,
N. NJ, were received by mail from
| Albuquerque this morning.
The court finds that the waters OF
the Rio Grande passing Ell Paso, occa-
sionally in seasons of high and pro-
tracted floods, reach Rio Grande CT ty,
the head of navigation, but doubts that
they reach that point in quantities suf-
fcent and in such form as to substan-
TALLY add to the navigsble capacity of
the stream, nor is such fact sasisfactor-
lily established from the evidence
The court in conclue ion finds that
the intended acts of the defendants in
constructing their dams and reservoir,
and the impounding of the water of the
Rio Grande at Elephant Butte, and in
appropriating the waters of the Rio
Grande, will not su bstsntially diminish
the navigabili.y of the Rio Grande
within the limits of present ma
vigability. viz, Rio Grande City, Texas,
and Brownsville, Texas. and orders
that the bill of complaint of the gov
ernmen. be dismissed and the injunc-
tion dissolved. :
1t is thought the United States at
torney general will order an appeal of
the case taken to the territorial su-
preme court.
However, it is believed by all sem
sible people that if the attorney gen
eral of the United States will take the
trouble to examine the evidence
brought out in the recent bear
ing he will allow no appeal to be
made.
WHAT Mr.. HAWKINS THINKS.
Said w. A. Hawkins, the attorney
for the dam company, this morning:
Work will not be resumed at once,
for the reason that the governm ment may
appeal the case, and in that instance
we will, of course, have to wait until q
decision is made by the higher courts.
"As matter of fact, do not think
an appeal can avail, for the decision
is in the nature of 6ndiug of facts, and
the courts of appeal seldom overrule
the findings of the lower courts on
questions of fact, on which. of course, he
lower court is necessarily the best
judge"

The Sierra Madres Yield
Evidence Of a Foul
Murder.
A MINER DISAPPEARS
And His Partner Is In Jail
With a Chain of Circum-
stantiaI Evidence
Around Him.
Special Dispatch to the HERALD.

Special Dispatch to the HERALD.
BIsBEE, A. T.. Jan. 2.-That murder
will out is again proven by the finding
of the body of one E. W. Derry, min
er and prospector, where his assailant
had buried it in a lonely spot in the
Sierra Madre mountains near Macosa-
ri Camp, Sonora, Mexico, q hundred
miles from Bisbee.
Early last August wo men named E.
W. Derry and L. c. Down left here on
q prospecting trip. A few weeks later
Derry disappeared. To inquiries
Brown replied that Derry and he had
agreed to separate and Derry had gone
further into Sonora.
Brown appeared in Tucson later and
displayed q considerable amount ol
money. He was known as E. WI
Derry. While there he obtained
large sum of money from q San Fran
cisco bank which was on deposit there
by Derry.
1t was soon discov vered that Brown
was apparently forger and was not E.
W. Derry, the name he assumed. His
arrest followed, and he is now in iail in
Tucson awaiting trial on the charge of
forgery. n
Now comes the discovery of the d
of Derry, murdered beyond all da
as the two ghastly apertures id
skull testify.
The chain of circumstsn sntial evid
against Brown seems complete.

ALE MIGRAToRY Bird.

The attention of hundreds of people
who were on the streets was attracted
by a large flock of wild geese which
flew over the city at e o'clock last even
ing. The big birds were flying east
ward, and when about over the center
of the town, formed almost an almost
perfect triangle of enormous proper
lions. When passing Boyle Heights the
geese lined up north and south like sol
diers on parade forming a column es-
timated to be half a mile in length, and
presenting a striking spectacle. The
well-drilled army was about 1000 feet
above the earth, and out of range of
ordinary guns,-Los Angeles Times.
An immense concourse of seagulls-
10000 of them, more or less-were seen
over and on the lake near town on
Tuesday, sporting, fighting and making
noise enough to rouse the dead. They
came from the Pacific Ocean, and they
come in force to the lakes of klamath
county every spring, though generally
not so early as they have this year.
klamath Falls Republican.
The little birds about the size of the
thumb sometimes called cherry clip
pers," have made their appearance. DR..
David Rafferty, discovered them in his
cherry tree yesterday morning. He
threw a clod into the tree and a cloud
of the tiny birds issued from the top.
In a short time they would have mater
tally injured the crop. DR.. Rafferty,
says the birds are armed with bill like
pair of scissors. They attack the
flowers midway between the bloom and
bud, and in a few minutes the ground
underneath the tree will be covered
with the scissored buds. They are SC
small that they are hardly noticed, and
the great damage they do is attributed
to other causes.-Portland Oregonian.

branched out with a consul-general and
a consul. 1t is not likely that either OF
them Will have very much to do, as

IMAGINATIoN AND DRINK.

DR.. Crevally of Sydney, New South
Wales, has had an experience with
anti-alcohOlic serum that throws doubt
on the efficacy of the serum discovered
by the Paris doctors, Sapellier The
bault and Broca. DIR. Crevally began
his experiments over two years ago at
the Sydney institute of bacterology He
subjected a calf to a long term of en-
forced drunkenness, obtained a serum
from it and injected 1t into several con-
firmed drunkards. After two or three
injections they gave up drinking and
the doctor thought that his discovery
was established. He found, however,
that after a week his subjects took to
drink as hard as ever and came to the
conclusion that their temporary cure
was due to imagination. His opinion
was confirmed when they returned to
him and after he had injected clear
water into them instead of the intoxi-
Gated calf serum they declared their
repugnance for alcohol and kept sober
for a few days.

TEACHERS SALARIES.
Pay to Educators in Various Parts of
the World.


the World.
The following statistics regarding the
salaries paid to teachers in various
parts of the world have been gathered
by the Nuovo Educatore (Rome): In
New York City, principals receive about
1880, assistants $1,0S0; in Massachu-
sets, masters ION an average all over
the state), $50 a month, and mistresses
$23 per month lin California, 500 a
month to masters; in Pennsylvania,
masters receive $500 a year, and mis-
tresses $4l0; in Arizona, $107 35, and
mistresses $95 month; in Brazil, pri-
mary teachers receive $500 to $3.50 a
year, and from $500 to 5000 in the high
er grades. In addition to this they have
beautiful garden and house, and the
annual salary is increased about one
fourth after twenty-five years of faith
full service. In Colombia South Am
erica, teachers receive about $50 a
month. III Holland, besides the annual
salary, elementary teachers have
house and a garden. In Berlin the sal
airy varies from 1858 to $50 a year. In
Hamburg, the lowest salary is $780,
Frankfort on-t the Main pays 1924 to $500
for ten years of service, and allots a
considerable pension for old age. In
Leipsic, Chemnitz and Dresden, they
receive from $3.50 to $40; in Freiburg,
from $4S4 to 1894; Monaco, sass to 1926
to which the state adds a sum varying
from S24 to S425 in Wurtemberg, from
5000 to $500; Vienna varies from $500 to
$625; Trieste from $422 to $512, besides
a lodging. III Belgium the minimum is
1875 and the maximum $500, with a
house, light and fires. In Neuchatel,
teachers receive 1901 to $525, besides a
lodging, garden, wood from the forest,
and an increase of $25 for every five
years. In France, elementary teachers
have $3.50, and an increase of one-tenth
every three years. The same journal
statesst that the pension of teachers in
Rome is allotted at it's lowest after
twenty-five years of service, and at it's
highest after forty-seven years of SER
vice, at the age of siXty-seVen. The
amount received is based on an average
of salaries received after fifteen years
of service. In the Grand Duchy of
Baden the teacher is obliged TO rest be-
tween the fifth and tenth years of
teaching, and receives four-tenths of
his salary which is increased each sue
ceeding year by two per cent.
