FLED TO AFRICA.
An Ohio Sheriff Suddenly Leaves
the State.
Is Said to Have Had $4,000
With Him.
A WOMAN IN THE CASE
Had Sacrificed His Property to
Secure Money.
Owned a String Of Race Horses
CON the Side."
A WOMAN IN THE CASE

Columbus, o., Jan. 6.-Wheeler j.
Young, the missing sheriff of Franklin
county, is now en- route to South Africa.
The information as to the direction
of his flight leaked out last night from
an authentic source.
All the runors to the effect that he is
in hiding in this city or vicinity are err
roneous. Young has gone for good, and
all efforts to apprehend him will prove
unavailing unless all the signs fail.
Not only this, but the mysteriously
absent sheriff carried with him between
$4,000 and 100000 in cold cash, accord
ing to those familiar with his financial
affairs. 1t is aScertained from parties
who have been investigating Young's
business transactions of recent date
that he has turned everything available
of his possession into ready money
within the last few weeks.
The evidence is that he was heavily
short in his accounts at the sheriff s
Office. He mortgaged all his real estate
for almost as much as it was worth,
and only week ago sold all the live
stock on his two farms for the sum OF
$4,000. He appears to have raised mon
ey on every possession that he had,
even to disposing at a heavy discount
OF personal notes for comparatively
small amounts that he held against
friends. According to advices from
those who have been Young's intimate
friends, the stories to the effect that he
mas lost heavily on the races are incOr-
rect.
1t is said by those in a position to
know that Young Cleaned up a very
fair sum with his string of horses dur
ing the last season. Young was never
"spender." He was not a gambler in
the sense of being a devotee of the
gaming houses Nor was he a rash
speculator in grain or stocks. He was
not a wine man." nor given to the
lavish use of money in any of the
gilded resorts. There has been much
speculation as to what he had done
with his money, in view of all these
office of sheriff of this county is esti-
mated to be worth from SIS, 900 to $780,
600 to the incumbent. Young held the
office four years
He had other financial resources,
among them a large stock farm AMI
good real estate investments 1t now
develops that Young simply planted
his money during the last year, at least
and that he has taken it with him.
Young had certain entanglements of a
financial nature that would have cost
him heavily had he remained here TO
face them. This, together with the fact
that he was involved very seriously
with at least one woman, is believed to
have prompted his flight. Furthermore,
it now develops that Young had been
contemplating a breaking of certain
family ties for some time. 1t is certain
that he had been deliberately planning
his mysterious departure for weeks. The
information is that Young believed
South Africa would open to him a new
field, prepared, as he is, with plenty
of money to engage in almost any fin
ancial project he might find tempting
in the Mecca of adventures.

"Kid" Mccoy Refuses to Take the
Job.

New York, Jan. 6.-''Kid' Mccoy will
not train Jim Corbett for the Califor-
MANS contest with Jim Jeffries, March
Is Although Mccoy promised Corbett
Wednesday afternoon that he would
act as his trainer and take full charge
of the preliminary preparations, he has
come to the conclusion that he had bet
ter stand aIoof from any active partici-
patton in the affair. even as an adviser.
Mccoy gives as his reason for his sud-
den change of heart that he has strong
hopes of making a match with Corbett
himself He does not think it would be
just to Jim to take any advantages that
might accrue by gaining a knowledge
of Jim's methods and style of fighting.
The kid" hints he surely would gain
this if he worked with Corbett and
spared with him as trainer.
Corbett was notified by Mccoy today
of the change in the arrangements and
accepted the situation gracefully and
thanked Mccoy for his sportsmanlike
consideration of the matter.

Says His Fight With McGovern VIII
Be HisLast.

New York, Jan. George Dixon, the
dusky little champion who for the last
ten years mas been an ideal of ring pa
irons, will make his final appearance in
the squared circle next Tuesday night
at the Broadway Athletic club, when
he meets Terry McGovern. Win or lose
in his contest with the young Brook
Ignite, Dixon says he will retire from
the ring.
Dixon has made this same statement
on the eve of his other recent battles,
and yet he was very much in the game
whenever worthy opponent could be
found to give him a fight. This time.
however, Dixon declares that never
again can he be persuaded to enter into
another nStlc engagement after he mas
settled his controversy with McGovern.
Dixon explains that his delay in de-
sorting the ring is owing TO his desire
to meet McGovern. He says that he
wanted to try conclusions with the
young featherweight, and he is training
for the battle as he has never trained
before, and Dixon has prepared for
many battles.
This marvel of the prize ring is quar-
tered down at Lakewood. In a little
cottage, surrounded by pines he is
working like a beaver. and when he en-
tiers the ring the sports will see Dixon
in his usual good FORM
If appearance counts for anything
Dixon is the Dixon of old. He is pre-
pared to put up a battle that will sur
prise many of those who believe Dixon
has seen his best days
Dixon thinks well of McGovern, but
he believes he will defeat him. He fears
the youngster as little as he did former
champions who fell victims to his
proves. Dixon said today:
My go with McGovern will be my
last fight in the ring. am going into
some business in the city. I have been
in the boxing game long enough and
would like to try my hand at some
thing else.
Il think McGovern is a great fighter.
That does not say be is a better man
than I, though.
You know my opponents have to
show me that they can beat me before
I think of defeat I enter the ring con-
fident and when meet AcGovern in

ton and feel splendid

Superba Magnates VIII Not Block
the League Circuit Committee.

superba Magnates VIII Not Block
the League Circuit Committee.
New York. Jan. Sit is far from the
desire of the gentlemen who control the
Brooklyn and Baltimore clubs to block
the plan for the reduction of the Ma
tionaI league to eight clubs. On the
contrary, we are just as anxious to see
that most desired result accomplished
as are the members of the circuit COM
mittee, who have the matter in charge"
These significant remarks were made
by President Charles H. Ebbetts, of the
Brooklyn club yesterday.
The statement is significant from the
fact that it shows a disposition on the
part of the gentlemen composing the
Brooklyn Baltimore syndicate to listen
to any propositions on the part of the
circuit committee which the latter may
present, and it shows also, that they
will not be an impregnable stone wall
to the accomplishment of the reduction.
I'VE are willing" continued Mr.
Ebbets, Ito settle the question of the
sale of the Baltimore franchise on bust
ness lines. and when we receive a
sound business proposition from the cir
cult committee, we will be willing to
negotiate.

Girls Dismissed For Talking.

employed by the Isabel manufacturing
company of this city, have received
notice of discharge because they talked
too much The girls are indignant and
say that the management never notified
them that they were not allowed to talk
during business hours.
The manager who ordered the dis
charge said:
THE average GAINESVILLE girl talks too
much for her own good. The girls that
1 refer to are the working class. The
girls that I was obliged to discharge
would talk nothing but gossip from the
time they entered the factory till it
was time to leave for home. They just
raked everybody over the Goals. Such
gossip not only hurts our business. but

sullivan and McFadden Draw.

New York, Jan. 6.-"Spike'' Sullivan
and George McFadden, of this city, met
last night at the Broadway Athletic
club to decide which had the right to
consideration for a meeting with the
lightweight champion, Erne, and his
close second, Jack O'Brien. After they
had fought for the full limit at twenty
five rounds, in which there was some
rough work and not a little fouling,
principally on McFadden's part, Ref
cree Charley White declared the contest
a draw. Sullivan was the favorite in
the betting at 100 to 70. The decision
was well received.

SELECTED JOHNNY WHITE.
Will Referee the Fight Between Dix
on and McGovern.

New York, Jan. 6-Contrary to all ex-
pectations, Johnny White has been select
ed to referee the fight between Terry Nc
Govern and George Dixon at the Broad
way Athletic club on Tuesday night. Tom
O'Rourke championed Johnny White,
Sammy Harris expressed a choice for
Charley White. The two Whites are not
related, and Manager Harris was not I'M
friendly to Johnny.
O'Rourke does not like Charley White
because of a decision he at one time rem
dered against Dixon at Madison Square
Garden. In order to keep peace in the
family Manager Harris agreed to accept
the services Of Johnny White as referee.
Harris was prompted to do this for the
reason that he thinks McGovern will win,
no matter who the referee may be.
