A Sweeping Claim Made For the

Some time ago I issued a challenge
to Jeffries to fight for the championship
of the world, and posted 81, 900 to show
that meant business. He paid no at
tention to my proposition. but instead
went about trying to arrange match
with Fftzsimmons, by whom he was
told repeatedly was retired. The grounds
on which claim Gus champion are the
very same as those which existed when
Sullivan and Mitchell got their honors.
Now that l have the champion, I
want to say he will fight to defend the
title against all corners. He is a fighter,
not an actor, and whenever a def is is

ignores Rubin, to give Peter Maher the
first chance, and the battle will be for
the championship of the world. 1 re-
gard him as next in line. This match
will take place as soon as it can be ar

Gravesend Races.

New York, Sept. 20.-Favorite players
had bad time at Gravesend, as only
one actual first choice was first past the
judges. This was Modrine in the second
race Luerana was equal favorite with
In Shot in the fourth race and her vic
tory furnished consolation to a few.
The Monarch stakes for 3-year- olds at
one mile and furlong was the feature,
and O'Connor signalized his return to
the saddle by winning with Rockton.
McMeekin was the favorite, with KiIli-
shandra and Vulcain equal secoTEd
choices. Rockton took the track at the
fall of the flag, and showed the way for
six furlongs, with Contestor at his sad
die. The latter then went to the front,
followed by KiIlishandra, but on the
far turn. when Odom made his run on
the rail with McMeekin. O'Connor again
sent Rockton into the lead and showed
the way into the stretch KiIlishandra,
hung on to the last sixteenth pole, but
then stopped, and. although Odom rode
McMeekin out. he could never get to
Rockton, who won cIeverly in fast time.
McMeekin and Kil1ishandra finished
second and third respectively.
Builman was fined $500 and set down
for the balance OF the meeting for what
the stewards called reckless riding in
the first race.

Emma J. Cone Tells Romantic
Story of Missing Gold
For Years Buried on a Ranch,
But Now All Gone.

Westmoreland, Sept. 20-A most inter-
esting and romantic suit has occupied
the district court for eight days here.
1t is. the action of Emma J. Gone of
Santa Ana. California, VS.. M. H. Cone,
M. w. Terry and N. H. Gone of Axtell
Kansas.
Mrs. Cones story on the witness stand
was to the effect that her husband kept
thousands of dollars hidden and buried
in the barn on their ranch in California
and when he was about to go up into
the mountains for his health, he dug it
up and they counted it and placed it in
packages which Thomas E. Cone, her
husband, concealed on his person he
then departed for a stay in the noun
tains for his health. She claims that his
brothers N. H. and NJ. H. Cone and M.
w. Terry knew about his movements,
and when Thomas Cone took sick up in
the mountains, they Immediately went
from Kansas to him and took possession
of him and his property. Her story is
that they brought him to Los Angeles,
Cal, where she accidentally discovered
him but was prevented by the defend
ants from seeing her husband, and
shortly afterwards they brought him to
Kansas City, where he sank rapidly and
died. Mrs. Gone telegra pied to them to
hold the funeral but her husband was
buried before she arrived and his trunk
and valise disappeared together with, as
Sne cIalmSs $5U,0 worth OF notes, ponds,
mortgages, certificates of deposit in
Guiding about 20,000 in cash. She sues
for the conversion of the same alleging
undue influence. The dispositions OF
scores of persons residing all over the
country have been read and volumes of
testimony introduced by the defendants
to show that Thomas e. Cone feared
and hated his wife, believing that at
one time she had tried to poison him,
and aIlege that if he disposed of his pro-
perty, he did so of his own free will.
The case goes to the jury today. The
arguments of counsel will probably con-
sumo d day and a half.
Judge Thomson is trying the case,
while J. H. Broughton, w. w. Redmond
of Marysville, and Codding and Challis
of Westmoreland represent the plaintiff
