His Fight.

With Ed Martin.
FINGERS AFFECTED.
VIII Not DON Gloves Until He
Enters Ring.
Little More Training Necessary
to Fit For Battle.
FINGERS AFFECTED.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 31.-Gus
Rubin will do no more boxing until he
meets Jim Jeffries in the ring on No
vember 10. Billy" Madden came to this
conclusion after examining the first two
fingers on Gus left hand, which he in
iured while boxing with Denver" Ed
Martin yesterday. Ruhlin'5 knuckles
We're very sore and stiff
1T won't do to take any more
chances remarked the noted manager
today, after he had talked with Rubin.
1.-The big fight is too close at hand to
run any great risk. 1t would be very
expensive if we could not fight Jeffries
on the day appointed, and we don't pro-
pose to take any more chances than we
can help. Ruhlin's hand is not seriously
sprained. In a hot mix-up Gus ran
his left into Martins head, and bruised
the first two knuclkles. They feel very
sore today, but we will soon have the
soreness OUT
What will Ruhlin's training consist
of from now on2'' Madden was asked.
He will do the same amount of road
work. he replied, and he will punch
the bag and work on different machines
in the gymnasium Really, l think 1T
will do him good to take a vacation in
his boxing. 1t is we'll enough for anna
tours and noviceS to box whole lot,
but for experienced fighters what they
want the most is conditioning"

DIR. G.. C. CalhOwn is Charged
With Wife Murder.
Husband of Is Year Old Girl in
Jail at Oswego.
WAS HEAVILY INSURED
Dead and Embalmed BefOr
Neighbors Knew of Illness.
Traces of Foul Play Shown in
the Examination.

Mound Valley, Kan, Oct 31.-A coro-
ner's jury has ordered Dr. G. Q. Cal
hoon held on a charge of numbering
his wife. Mrs. Calhoon died Oct 20
from the effect of an operation. she
had $1,000 life insurance.
Oswego. Kan, Oct. 31--Dr G. c. Cal
hoon was brought to this city We'd
nesday from Mount Valley and lodged
in Jail charged with the murder of MS
wife, who died suddenly Saturday. 1t
seems that Mrs. Calhoon was dead
and her body embalmed before the
neighborS were aware that she hao
been i'll. 1t is said that in reply to
inquiries Calhoon said she had fallen
from her bicycle and been injured, from
the effects of which she died
A brother of the dead women arrived
from Wichita. Hearing rumors and not
being able to get definite explanation as
to the cause of his sisters death. he
demanded that a post mortem exam1n-
alton be made This he finally secured.
1t resulted in the husbands arrest.
The first report was to the effect that
the woman had been poisoned, but the
examination developed that the woman
was lacerated and torn internally. the
only theory of the motive for crime,
if such it is is. is that the woman 5
life was insured for several thousand
dollars.
Dr. Calhoon was arrested a little more
than a year ago for impersonating a
United States officer. He was not con-
victed. They had been married only
a few months

JEFFRLES WANTS OTHER BOUTS
Has in View Meeting Both Fitzsim-
mons and Sharkey After Rubin.

San Francisco. Cal, Oct. 31-Delaney
thinks Jeffries has gone in for too mucn
road work and mountain climbing. he
reached this conclusion a few days ago,
when the scales revealed the fact that
Jeffries was down to 215 pounds 100
light, too light" muttered Delaney.
y Next morning it is said Jeffries was IN
that condition known as all broke up.
Delaney went after him, and it was de-
cided right then and there that the
schedule of outdoor sports needed short
ening From now on indoor baseball,
handball, sparring, and like exercises
will enter more largely into the cham
pion's programme, and Delaney will aim
at sending his man into the ring weigh
ing somewhere around 225 pounds
From Jeffries' expressed desire to
bunch his fights and take on Sharkey,
Fitzsimmons, and any other challengers
during the present season 1T IS to be
presumed he finds the task of BETTING
himself thoroughly for go is becoming
exceedingly irkSOme-
Delaney said: There are two men
Jefferies will not be satisfied until he
meets again. I mean F'itz and the

Wellington Items.

Wellington, Oct 31.-The young wo-
men and young married women of We'll
lington are going to turn the tables on
the men Friday night in a dance to be
given entirely by women, who will en-
ploy the orchestra, pay for the hall and
refreshments and the conveyances in
which they haul the men whom they
propose to invite to the dance. For some
time the young men and young married
men have been hiking off to shows
without their sweethearts and wives.
A horse hitched to spring wagon be-
came frightened at a passing covered
wagon on the main road, two miles east
of here and overturned the spring wa

John Long, her four children and her
mother, of Winfield, who had been to
Wellington to visit Mr.. Long and M. I.

BIBLICAL NAMES AS SIGNALS.
Drake Eleven Has Novel System OF
Calls For Players.

St Louis, Oct. 31.-"Matthew, Mark
Luke and John; Daniel in the Lions
Den" Biffl bangi biffl Peter, Paul.
David, Esau, the hairy man." Bang!
biffi bang!
This is the sort of thing one hears
nowadays at the Drake university 1t
is not the class in Biblical literature
either, but it is the divinity department
football team at practice. Instead of
using the ordinary method of giving
signals-by numbers or by letters-the
divinity eleven makes use of Biblical
names to denote the play about to be
used.
Some of the signals are verySquaint:
For example, Daniel in the lions den
is the sign to buck the center; Moan
ark calls for the criss-cross; JOB" is
the signal for kick; Elijah" means
a delayed pass
One of the divinity students suggested
that the signals might be construed as
sacrilegious, but Dean Hill M Bell re
piled that the idea was ridiculous, that
the more Bible names one heard the
better and that of all places where the
Bible should not be forgotten, the grid
iron is chief. He also replied that the
new signals are least likely to be under
stood by the Bible department eleven's
ODDOnentS.
